** Claims she was turned down for a part in the ''Film/CrazyRichAsians'' adaptation, because producers wanted someone who was Chinese (as she is Korean). She later criticised the casting directors for their hypocrisy when they cast another part with an actor who [[ButNotTooBlack was half white]]. Later, she apologized for her comments after people accused her for attacking Eurasians. [[note]]The actor in question, Henry Golding, who is Malaysian-British and had stayed in Singapore for years, was hurt with the accusation of not being really Asian.[[/note]]

* ActorAllusion:

* ActorInspiredElement: She and Sarah Bolger picked up on the LesYay between Mulan and Aurora, and read their scenes as if they were lovers. The show then decided to reveal [[spoiler: Mulan was secretly in love with Aurora]].
* DawsonCasting: In ''Film/AbductionOfEden'', Eden is kidnapped at the age of eighteen. Jamie was in her late twenties, but she also plays Eden across a TimeSkip.
* DyeingForYourArt: Underwent three months of gruelling workouts, combat and weapons training to prepare for ''Film/SuckerPunch''.
* EnforcedMethodActing: For ''Already Tomorrow In Hong Kong'', she and her husband stayed in separate hotel rooms during production. As they were playing two people who just met, it helped convey the unfamiliarity between them.
* FakeNationality: Despite being of Korean descent, she has played Chi Chi (who is Japanese) in ''Film/DragonballEvolution'' and Ruby (who is Chinese) in ''Film/AlreadyTomorrowInHongKong''. Mulan in ''Series/OnceUponATime'' is borderline - while the Enchanted forest is a fantasy world, Mulan is shown coming from a kingdom heavily inspired by Chinese culture. But pointedly averted as [=GoGo=] Tomago, who is Japanese in the comic, and becomes Korean to accommodate Jamie.
* MagnumOpusDissonance: Lists ''Film/SuckerPunch'' as her favourite role, calling it a "beautiful movie" and citing the friendships she made with the other girls.
* OldShame:

* TheOtherDarrin: Replaces Devon Aoki as Miho in the second ''Film/SinCity'' film, due to the latter's pregnancy.
* PlayingAgainstType:

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Mulan was [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Brother Chucked]] in Season 3 of ''Once Upon A Time'' due to Jamie being cast in ''Believe''. When the series was cancelled, she returned for a couple of episodes in Season 5.
* RealitySubtext: In ''Film/AbductionOfEden'' she plays a Korean girl who is forced to pretend to be Chinese. She herself has played a lot of Chinese roles.
* RomanceOnTheSet: She met her husband Bryan Greenberg after working together on two different films. They starred together as the leads in ''Film/AlreadyTomorrowInHongKong''.
* TomHanksSyndrome: She invoked this with ''Film/AbductionOfEden''. Having done mostly comedies or horror movies, she won critical acclaim for her role in the dark drama about a girl sold into sex trafficking.
* TypeCasting: Early in her career she was stuck as an AsianAirhead. She's now called on to do a lot more ActionGirl roles.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Claims she was turned down for a part in the ''Crazy Rich Asians'' adaptation, because producers wanted someone who was Chinese (as she is Korean). The part went to an actress who was [[MonochromeCasting half-white]].
** Creator/EmmaStone was the original choice for Amber in ''Film/SuckerPunch''. After she dropped out, Freida Pinto was the second choice.
