The Orange County (the O.C.)---Luke

Marissa's protective boyfriend is a prince of Newport Beach - a child of vast wealth and privilege. However, the pressure to be the perfect son often forces Luke to bury his insecurities behind a cocky attitude, charming smile, and a sometimes bullying bravado.

As a result, he is adored by his girlfriend’s parents, envied by his fellow students, and desired by a legion Newport Beach Beauties. Though committed to the idea of being Marissa's boyfriend, Luke is less than committed to the idea of being faithful to her.
A star athlete and the captain of the water polo team, Luke stands with Marissa in the center of the OC in crowd. Their longtime relationship represents the status quo that is immediately threatened by Ryan's introduction to the community. Ryan's continued presence in the OC ultimately forces Luke to confront his deepest fears and feelings or risk losing Marissa forever.

The most things impressed me a lot is that Luke was a guy of similarity to the main actor in The Graduate, both of whom have sex with two generations in the same family. It sounds dirty and unbelievable, yet, reflecting some facts exiting in our society and unreasonable scandals or mistakes committed by helpless and emotional human beings.

Actually, I have no comment about Luke, some kind of ignorant him. Nevertheless, gradually I found he is also a nice guy in other fields. People change, that’s right.
