Grace Park isn't perfect, and that's OK with her

Grace Park stars in the Hawaii Five-0 reboot. I would tell you about the pilot but, let's face facts.

It turns out she wasn't enthusiastic about the role at first.

"It's funny -- when [co-star Daniel Dae Kim] was telling me about the script, he was like, 'Oh, she kicks a**, she's a great character,'" Park tells Zap2it. "When I heard she could do all these things and she's supposed to be in a bikini and stuff, I just rolled my eyes. ... I just wanted something different than that."

Fortunately for her, Kono has turned out to be more than the average butt-kicking heroine. "I think she's lovely, and she's a real person ... she's three-dimensional," she says. "She has a history and hopes and dreams and failures."

Now she mentions it, there was a scene where Grace Park was told to take off her dress, stand in her underwear then slowly turn around. She's three dimensional!

Video of, like, Grace Park, at the first, like, link. Not video of the underwear scene but it's still Grace Park [Update: Egotastic! delivers].

By way of apology, more Grace Park bikini candids.

Also: Still one of the best title themes ever.

Here is the respectful yet soulless Hawaii 5-0 2010 theme.
