Recently, HBO's drama "The White Lotus 3" aired its first episode.
This is a satirical series with 2 successful first seasons in the US, but the 3rd season especially attracted the attention of Kpop fans with the participation of female idol Lisa of Blackpink.
The White Lotus 3 is also set in Thailand - Lisas hometown.
In her first role, Lisa plays Mook, an employee of The White Lotus resort, and a health consultant for guests staying at the hotel.
Previously, when the film was shown early to the press, Hollywood Reporter reflected that Lisa had too little screen time in the film, even though she was a global star, helping the work attract a lot of attention during the promotional period.
This has made many fans worried that the producer is only "taking advantage" of Lisa's reputation, and her first role will be really lackluster, without an impression.
However, when the film aired, the audience's reaction to Lisa's acting was surprising.
HBO posted a segment featuring Lisa in episode 1 online. In which, Mook's motorbike broke down in the middle of the road, she had to ask for help from a male colleague at the same workplace.
This segment quickly spread on forums with many compliments for Lisa. The Blackpink member was praised for her natural acting and voice, showing the wit of Mook.
Lisa's facial expressions in some other scenes are also diverse, flexible and not forced, helping the character become lively.
The first episode did not fully reveal Lisa's role in the film, whether she was really a superficial, blurred character as the media said. However, Lisa's performance in a few small scenes helped her win the sympathy of the public.
Other opinions say that whether Lisa is the main character in the film or not is not too important. The first time trying her hand at acting, even if she plays a small role, Lisa only needs to show her acting potential and is a success. Currently, Lisa is having a good start.
In addition, episode 1 of "The White Lotus 2" received a rating of 9.9/10 on IMDb. The audience praised the episode for its beautiful scenes, humorous and attractive content, and excited the next episodes.
