    My wife loves Asian period dramas and this is a hugely common thing that drives me nuts. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got period clothing and scenery etc. If the “lowly common girl” has a perfect complexion, teeth, and obvious cosmetics it just breaks it.

          Having had a few Scandi-descended girlfriends, I concur. But on average, they’re nowhere near as hairly as Slavs or Armenians. Not that anything’s wrong with body hair.
