It’s a name that you should know. The actress is a staple in microdramas and definitely one that you should take notice of every single time that she’s in a drama, because she becomes the character that she’s playing so wholeheartedly that you forget that you’re watching her.
Cayla Brady is a microdrama queen.
The actress stars alongside Noah Andre in The Seduction Game, which, if we’re being honest, we both loved and disliked.
The premise, “a brilliant, dirt-poor teen earns a scholarship to an elite prep school, she becomes the target of a cruel queen bee and her bad-boy pawn who’s tasked with seducing and destroying her before Ivy League admissions are announced.”
Let’s start with the Queen Bee Brynn Sterling (Vera Price). This girl is EVIL. Now I get that in these dramas, rich people are just cruelly evil. But this girl takes the cake for cruelty and being mean.
I haven’t ever begun to understand what it is that makes people not as well off, the enemy. Lila Lennox (Brady) is just trying to live her life, avoid her father, and make it into Yale. Her Dad is a drunk, and her Mom has passed. Her stepmother is evil.
Brynn enlists the help of Preston Whitmore, the hot guy in school who has wanted nothing more than to sleep with Brynn. Taking her virginity has been something he’s been after for quite some time.
The issue? She’s not giving it away. But she makes a deal with him that if he gets Lennox to miss the Yale recruiter. There is only one spot at the school given away to students at the school. Brynn had never been challenged for that spot, and when she is – it’s enough.
What she doesn’t count on, though, is overhearing the deal go down between Preston and Brynn. She’s going to use this to her advantage and does just that. Everything that she wanted to happen in high school will come true because she’s not letting the Sterlings get the last laugh.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Lennox is getting what she wants to succeed. She just didn’t count on Preston falling for her along the way.
As secrets and lies are revealed, chaos ensues, and Preston is left holding the bag, having to prove his love for Lennox.
Though the premise of this one is cute, you’re going to need to suspend some belief and just embrace the here and now. Drama is bound to happen, and the love circle closes – with winners and losers.
Overall, a solid vertical with no notes.
