omg emily isn't asian...

I know that this topic might be a little unusual, but I can't help but express my shock when I realized that Grady's wife in the film is not Korean. In the film, Emily is only mentioned a handful of times, and she is more than often just referred to as "Grady's wife." I don't know if its was just me, but I was almost looking forward to seeing Emily and her side of the family, and was actually kind of disappointed when Grady picked up the picture frame and stared at a caucasian women.

I think that it just confused me a little, because Emily never makes an appearance in the film, so why couldn't they just insert a picture of a Korean women in the frame? Before the scene, I thought that the film did a really good job sticking to the plot line of the book. However, Emily's ethnicity and family life was mentioned quite a bit in the novel, and I just wished it were shown in the film. I actually think that if it were shown in the film as well, it would allow the audience to witness a different side of Grady Tripper.
