Seducing Drake Palma (2025)

Trashiest ML

I started this drama just because the poster looked pretty (that orange was gorgeous), and honestly… I don’t regret watching it, but I also wouldn’t recommend it. It’s the kind of drama I’d be embarrassed to admit I watched.

It’s based on an old Wattpad story: Alys likes her best friend Sheen, but he likes Kei. Kei likes Drake, so Sheen asks Alys to seduce Drake. Yeah… you can imagine where this is going.

Was I entertained? Absolutely. I tuned in every week just to hate-watch, lol.
Drake is hands down the trashiest male lead I’ve seen in ages, such a walking red flag. No growth, no character development, just an asshole to the bitter end. Every single line out of his mouth was painful, and the actor being so wooden only made it worse. Cruel and expressionless? A combo nobody asked for.

There was zero reason for Alys to fall for him. She started off adorable, but oh girl… she turned into a complete idiot. Forgiving him over and over without so much as an apology? Self-respect, who?

Tripp was the classic second male lead, kind, actually had chemistry with Alys, and treated her better as a friend than Drake ever did as her boyfriend. I actually enjoyed their dynamic way more.

Aya and Alys’s friendship was one of the best parts. Just two girls being weird together, loved it! But sadly, Aya disappeared in the second half once they went to different universities.

Thank god they dropped the stepmom subplot quickly, because… what even was that?

On the bright side, the production value was solid, and the OST was pretty good. Overall, it was entertaining, but… meh. Would’ve easily rated it higher if only Alys had dumped Drake.

Tenía mucha curiosidad por ver este drama, especialmente por la actuación de Rabin Angeles y Ethan David de Ang Mutya ng Section E, pero la verdadera sorpresa fue la FL, con su carisma mostró a su personaje de manera muy natural.

Hubo demasiado drama innecesario por parte de Drake. Para mí, su personaje era una bandera roja andante, muy inmaduro y egoísta. Él sabía que lastimaba a la FL con su silencio y continuaba guardándole secretos todo el tiempo. También sabía que ella lo entendería, pero aun así no decía nada… Eso fue frustrante.

En cuanto al otro chico, el SML , realmente merecía tener una oportunidad con la protagonista, pero en los sentimientos nadie manda. La química entre ellos era bonita.

Luego de ver el drama, leí la novela1 y sinceramente sentí que Rabin recitaba las líneas sin transmitir emoción ni interiorizarlas. Talvez solo talvez trataron de adaptarlo un poco mas exagerado al personaje de la novela. De todas formas, seguiré apoyando a los actores en sus próximos dramas.

Ps; Acabo de terminar el libro 2 y hay mucho mas de la FL llorando por el ML y aceptando todo por su amor por él, y el SML dándolo todo por ella. Bueno, leer es una cosa y verlo en drama es otra, espero que cambien algo porque el ML decepciona bastante.
