"The failure to make the Thai characters more complicated shortchanges the actors, particularly [Lisa] Manobal, who has a surfeit of charisma but very little to do with it, even in a later episode that teases Mook dancing as part of the resort’s entertainment, then barely features one of the world’s more internationally recognizable celebrities."

Looks like they pulled a bait & switch on us 🙁
The IGN review doesn’t even mention her at all.
i mean…it was obvious that she was gonna play a minor role in the series. Hollywood ain’t like Hallyu where they put an inexperienced actor into a lead role.
We knew the role was minor. But this is saying Lisa’s acting is good? That would land her better roles right?
I mean this is not surprising, the White Lotus story has always focused on the guests to the resort, the focus on staff tend to be minor except for one or two, I have read multiple reviews and Lisa’s character has a plot line with another thai character, and reviewers have largely praised her performance. I think it’s a decent part for her debut role in such a prestigious series.
