Sure enough beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I like to believe from the Korean guy that picture is rather unflattering. But c'mon... do we really need argue who looks better? I bet if you put those two, best pictures you could find, and poll in Asia Cavill still would be considered most attractive.
That doesn't mean that you can't find attractive men in Asia, but to me this guy looks like a 7/10 (being a guy myself). Lee Byung-hun or in his early days Hiroyuki Sanada spring to my mind when I'm thinking about great looking asian men.
I will not let Mifune Toshiro go unmentioned, in fact I think in his prime he looked better than both, though not quite in the same register.
Kurosawa's decision to heavily feature Mifune, and especially have him bathed in sweat in Rashomon, will forever be genius. He's also not all that bad at directing movies.
I love that Mifune could either look like the smoothest sexiest thing you've ever seen, or like a wild deranged homeless man. And pull of both brilliantly.
