It was a "huh?!" moment because everyone remember Asian Blair. Besides being white, blond and tall, what made KdP so hard to get used to her first two years or so was how much of a cartoon, hyper active "Scarlet" villainess she was at first. I remember when she first came on the show and they threw her in as the over animated home wrecker for Max and Luna. Bleh. She was so hard to take. SOD named her "worse recast of 1994". I think it wasn't until Blair met Todd that KdP started showing some depth and embodying the role. Now she's totally Blair 10x over. But her first year or so was bad IMO.
