Netizens joked that while Mook didn’t care if Gaitok was a killer, her thoughts on him were lowered when he was willing to quit his job, showing her desire for a successful man.

Yet, some shared their “red flags” about Mook. While they were glad she wasn’t involved in the robbery as previously thought, they still thought Mook was gaslighting Gaitok and her sudden change of heart for him was based on his status and employment.
While I am glad that Mook wasn’t in on any of the robbery nonsense, I am still salty she was gaslighting Gaitok the whole time. A woman wanting a partner with ambition, and using a man as her tool to manipulate him. She did set him up in a way..#TheWhiteLotus #WhiteLotus #TWL pic.twitter.com/MuTjwZGHeC

Netizens appreciated the complexity of Mook’s storyline with Gaitok.
The people saying Gaitok and Mook’s story line is useless failed to realize that his moral dilemma is what decides the ending. The dilemma that Mook planted in him. In the end, he gave up his moral, which allowed Rick to be reunited in death with Chelsea. https://t.co/YGqATojYBw

Yet, all the hot reactions, even those criticizing Mook, is just compliments to Lisa to embody a character that brings out such passionate opinions from fans, even though she isn’t a main character and it’s the idol’s acting debut.
