BLACKPINK’s Lisa has officially stepped into the world of acting with The White Lotus Season 3, and she’s already leaving a lasting impression. While some fans were initially disappointed by her limited screen time, her portrayal of Mook, a seemingly sweet yet potentially manipulative character, has sparked conversations across social media.
Mook’s Mixed Signals
In the latest episode, Lisa’s character, Mook, rejects a confession from Gaitok, a security guard at the Thailand beach resort. However, Mook’s behavior following the rejection left fans intrigued. Despite turning him down, she later displayed concern and affection, creating confusion about her true intentions. Was she genuinely worried, or was she toying with his emotions? The ambiguity in Lisa’s performance has captivated audiences, leading to divided opinions.
Fans React to Lisa’s Performance
Lisa’s ability to bring depth to Mook has won praise from viewers. One fan wrote, “Omg, the sad tone and soft voice of being worried. I was so focused on watching. Ahhh, The White Lotus S3EP2.” Another countered, “That’s her childhood friend, you guys; she’s worried about him. I mean, sure, she’s manipulative, but I think she was genuinely concerned.”
Another fan praised Lisa’s expressions, stating, “Lisa, your facial expressions clearly show your acting ability. For her acting debut, she is doing pretty well. Her emotions are so genuine and authentic.” Others pointed out her subtle microexpressions, adding, “Something behind baby Mook’s cuteness. How Lisa managed to portray that manipulative side behind the sweetness is a testament to her talent.”
What’s Next for Mook?
Despite playing a potentially red-flag character, Lisa’s performance has impressed audiences. In an interview, she described Mook as a flirtier and more ladylike version of herself. With The White Lotus unfolding, fans eagerly anticipate how Mook and Gaitok’s dynamic will evolve in the coming episodes.
