Bling Empire Review: So Much More Than a Crazy Rich Asians Knockoff
Bling Empire is being touted as a real-life Crazy Rich Asians, and that's definitely one piece of the show, but when you watch more episodes (there are eight total), you'll see there's much more to it than meets the eye. There are plenty of gorgeously coordinated parties but Bling Empire also turns out to be an exploration of identity for a few of the main cast members. The show may look like a Bravo castoff or a companion to Selling Sunset, Netflix's vapid and claws-out series about blonde realtors in L.A., but you'll soon find more under the layers of its Asian cast at lavish parties, going on spending sprees, and draped in designer clothes and shoes.
