Crazy Rich Asians	comment	Crazy Rich Asians is a trilogy beginning with the 2013 best seller novel by Kevin Kwan.Chinese-American Rachel Chu has been dating her boyfriend, Chinese-Singaporean Nicholas Young for almost two years. When he invites her home to Singapore for his best friend's wedding and to "spend the rest of the summer bumming around Asia," the last thing she expects is that Nick's family is rich—ridiculously rich. And since his best friend, Colin Khoo (the most eligible bachelor in Asia) is getting married, the title (read: target) has officially moved to Nick.The first sequel, titled China Rich Girlfriend, was released in 2015 and focuses on the lifestyle of China's elite from various perspectives. The last book of the trilogy, Rich People Problems, was released in 2017.A film adaptation was released in August 2018. It is directed by Jon M. Chu, and stars Constance Wu and Michelle Yeoh.Now with a Character Sheet.

Crazy Rich Asians / int_11ad560b	type	Control Freak
Crazy Rich Asians / int_11ad560b	comment	Control Freak: Colette, practically the way she enters her home or the private jets of her parents require a strict, elaborate ritual, she even does this to her guests where she'd exclaim for them to stop and smell the good chi in the air (which Nick privately discerns as Febreeze) and she even bosses her mother on where to relax. Colette's parents are worse, with her father calling her his prized possession and punishing her for not getting engaged to the man he picked out for her and her mother guilts her about not settling down to give her lots of grandsons.

So she secretly invests in the efforts to convert Tyersall Park into a museum, just to spite Jack from buying it for Colette. She also consoles herself with the fact that she gave Jack a son, meaning that in the long run, he'll pay less attention to Colette.

Astrid's brother Alexander gets Su Yi's 80-acre estate in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, despite having been disowned by Felicity and Harry, who regards this move as a "slap to his face."

Crazy Rich Asians / int_532f8e61	comment	Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: In the sequel, Colette meets Rachel in order to defend herself for what happened to Rachel at the resort she went with Peik Lin, as Colette's assistant turned out to be the culprit, allegedly acting on her own. She asks Rachel to talk to Carlton, as he never wants to see her again because of it, but Rachel refuses because she thinks he needs more time before he can talk to anyone. It all ends up as a misunderstanding for Colette, as she rants about Rachel being after her new family's wealth and ungrateful for all she's done to her and Nick, with Rachel later stands up to her with a hard-hitting speech about her. Someone posts a video of their meeting into social media and it goes viral, which causes Colette (who gets financially cut off by her father) to lose a multi-million dollar contract with a fashion company and Carlton to break up with her.

Her daughter, Astrid, also experienced this, as revealed in a flashback; on a shopping trip with Charlie in Paris, she was treated badly by a clerk in a couture store due to being an Asian schoolgirl who didn't look very fashionable. That is, until Charlie made a call and she ended up buying twenty outfits from there, instead of just one like she originally wanted.

Crazy Rich Asians / int_6b2b3b59	comment	The Reveal: The first hint that there would be a big reveal is in Part One, Chapter Thirteen. The actual reveal doesn't happen until Part Three, Chapter Thirteen. In the same moment, Rachel Chu learns her father is still alive, in prison for negligence leading to the very accident her mother claimed he died in, her mother kidnapped her, renamed her, and moved to the U.S. and her father's family put out a reward for her safe return, and her birth name is not Rachel Chu. She learns this from Eleanor of all people, who believed she knew and had been withholding the fact all along. In the second book, Rachel's real father is a Chinese billionaire and she has a half-brother Carlton. Colette's assistant is the mastermind behind Rachel's poisoning, acting on her own, due to Colette worrying that Carlton may lose his money because of Rachel. In the third book, Shang Su Yi doesn't control her family's fabled massive fortune after all (it's controlled by her brother, Alfred, as their father wanted only a son to inherit the fortune), she can only use it, so she doesn't leave it in her will when she dies. She's also revealed to have had an affair with a Thai prince that resulted a love child, Catherine Young. Also in the third book, it turns out that Charlie's ex-wife, Isabel and Astrid's ex-husband, Michael, have been working together to destroy all chances for Astrid and Charlie to be together, including ruining Astrid's reputation.

This trope gets Deconstructed very quickly when the first major blow to their relationship that Rachel cites is the fact that he didn't prepare her for his family.

While she does try her best to get her friends focused on the reading of the Word of God (while the others prefer to gossip and talk about jewelry), for Eleanor to give Rachel a chance, to try to cut off their most judgmental and acid-tongued remarks, she doesn't really do much about it and is an Extreme Doormat or even somewhat complicit indirectly because they talk over her, dismiss her concerns and don't listen to her. It's not so great on the family front as well, as her husband is greedy and cheats on her while her son Bernard resents her lack of involvement in his childhood and she can barely discipline him.

Corinna Ko-Tung wonders why the Palace isn't displayed in Kitty and Bernard's Hong Kong penthouse. Nick thinks he recognizes the Palace hanging in the Bings' private museum. This is reinforced later at Colette's fashion show, where a couple that had bid aggressively for the Palace is spotted sobbing over one of the works in the museum. Jack makes an unannounced trip to Los Angeles, Kitty and Bernard's main residence, which bewilders Colette. An unidentified mainland billionaire working through a shell corporation buys a highly coveted Singapore mansion for double Michael's best offer. The buyer is later revealed to be Jack, who is gifting it to Kitty.

Bao Shaoyen from China Rich Girlfriend. She prefers flying coach to first class, but ironically has a room full of Birkin and Kelly bags. Astrid's sister-in-law as described in a footnote: The insanely wealthy mothers of Colette and her friends, who prefer eating instant ramen to eating at a restaurant, because the fried rice is too expensive. Bernard Tai in China Rich Girlfriend, who moves out of his mansion in Bel Air to a more modest surroundings, to let his daughter experience "real-world preparedness" and have a better chance of getting into Harvard. Sophie Khoo, Colin's pediatric surgeon sister who comes from a very wealthy billionaire family, yet dresses modestly and flies commercial. Francesca's family used to live like this, living crammed together in an old shop house, before her grandfather had a stroke, putting her parents in control of his money. In Rich People Problems, Astrid herself moves to Palawan, where she find peace in a simpler life of making her own clothes and helping to run a school in the village.

Crazy Rich Asians / int_f818b637	type	Dude, Where's My Respect?
Crazy Rich Asians / int_f818b637	comment	Dude, Where's My Respect?: Inverted by Nick, who finds it humorous to not get the respect his name warrants in China Rich Girlfriend. Astrid's comment when a snooty French aristocrat (who snubbed her when they first met) finally finds out who her family is and how insanely rich she is in the first book.

Crazy Rich Asians / int_f909b16b	type	Dark Secret
Crazy Rich Asians / int_f909b16b	comment	Dark Secret: Initially, the revelation that Rachel is from a broken home. In full, she was the product of an affair between her mother Kerry and Kao Wei/Bao Gaoliang, who saved her so many times from her rich and abusive husband. Kerry's horrible in-laws were thrilled until the baby turned out to be a girl. They then planned to half-blind the infant Rachel to exploit a loophole in the one-child policy (a handicapped baby can be disregarded, so they could try for a son). When Kerry discovered their plan, she took Rachel and ran to safety with a distant relative in America. Neither Kao Wei nor her husband knew who the baby's true father was.

Crazy Rich Asians / int_ff17ccf1	comment	Innocently Insensitive: When meeting Isabel, Charlie's wife, for the first time, Astrid innocently mentions that she and Charlie (conveniently not mentioning that her cousin was also with them) recently went on a road trip in California. Isabel, already having marital problems with Charlie (though Astrid was unaware of that), assumed the worst.

Crazy Rich Asians / int_ff251a68	comment	Doting Parent: Astrid's parents. Eddie has a friend that he envies so much, because his wealthy parents spoil him with whatever he wants, unlike the wealthy, yet cheap parents of Eddie's.
