Rembrandt lighting is only good on Europeans because they have a broad face. Where the light hitting the eyes creating shadows across their face making it more stand out. But not good on asian faces because they have a flatter broad characteristics, so making a rembrandt light for them is a lot harder :/

Not fair! You said you could achieve this lighting with a single light and a reflector, then you went and used three lights you big cheat! You should be demonstrating how it can be achieved with the single light, as was mentioned a couple of times. If you do this maybe I'll send you a Welsh cake haha. I'm Welsh, by the way.
