I really disliked Lana from the earlier seasons when I first watched Smallville, but in retrospect I actually find her character quite interesting if you read between the lines a little bit. Probably why I ended up liking her more when she became darker and more manipulative when they paired her with Lex :P
But what the writers seemed to want the audience to take on face value about her character was always so messy and badly thought out IMO, it felt like they had no discernible character there, they just had a vague idea about writing her as pretty and popular on the surface/tragic underneath
