Since the resounding success of "Come Home, My Child", the television drama market has had another drama that has attracted attention like "Don't Make Me Angry ".

Hanh started her life as a single mother with all the confusion and fear because she had no job, no money, and no experience raising a baby. Sometimes, Hanh was so scared that she wanted to abandon the baby. However, Happy (played by Nguyen Ngoc An Nhien) was smart and clever, gradually growing up and becoming a joy and spiritual support for Hanh.

Meanwhile, Hanh's friend Vy (Quynh Luong) lives in luxury but lacks love. She marries Khoi (Binh An) because she gets pregnant after a one-night stand. Vy is strong on the outside but her soul is vulnerable.

"Don't Make Me Angry" is a story about motherhood full of joy and sadness of Hanh and Vy with the highlight being Hanh. The work received many compliments from viewers, although initially there were many opinions pointing out the forced points in the story. However, the film is increasingly attractive because of its gentle but emotional details and healing message. All the hurt and cracks are gradually erased, replaced by love.

In addition to the story that won over the audience, the film also attracted attention thanks to the good acting of the two child actors Nguyen Ngoc An Nhien and Pham Tuan Phong. Many viewers praised: "The film is gentle, meaningful and not long-winded or wordy. I really like it!"; "It's been a long time since I've seen such a good film and I feel sorry that the work has ended"; "I'm really touched, I appreciate the humanity in the film, a gentleness that is profound and emotional"...

People in the industry believe that "Don't Make Me Angry" explores maternal love but from a more novel perspective, the maternal love between a young girl and her adopted child. Hanh was forced to become a single mother in a "young and naive" situation, not yet married and having to take care of a child still in her arms. According to common psychology, Hanh also had moments of confusion and once thought of abandoning the child but in the end did not do so. The initial humanity and love gradually built up into a sacred maternal love that nothing could separate.

Novelty factor

"Don't Make Me Angry" is written by two screenwriters Dieu Thuy and Nguyen Thu Thuy. The film is inspired by the life story of screenwriter Dieu Thuy after her divorce, raising her daughter alone. These inspirations, through the real-life experiences of the screenwriter herself, have contributed to creating a story that is modern, civilized, and truthful.

Many viewers said they saw themselves in Hanh's journey of becoming a single mother. Their children, like Happy, are sensible and mature early, but sometimes they are naive for their age. Therefore, they do not find it unreasonable for a child like Happy to be clever and sensible before his age.

Without new elements and interesting perspectives, the film will certainly have difficulty winning over the audience. Realizing this, the screenwriter and crew strive to create something new to escape the pressure of boredom and routine when building a family story.

"When writing "Don't Make Me Angry", instead of looking from the perspective of mothers, we focused more on the world and the perspective of children. Children are the clearest mirror reflecting the world around them" - screenwriter Thu Thuy expressed.

The success of "Don't Make Me Angry" also shows that, like movies, television series need good stories that are told in an interesting and novel way, with authentic dialogue and civilized details. With good stories, audiences, regardless of the topic or genre, will still enjoy and support the work.

According to experts, audiences have seen films about family love that exploit a lot of fighting scenes, trying to create a climax to push the tragedy too far. The tense fighting is intentionally created to make the audience tired. "Don't make mom angry" with a gentle but equally profound story, like a breath of fresh air blowing in, attracts the audience when watching.

“Healing, humane content, promoting maternal love, love, humanity, and transmitting positive energy... can easily help a film become successful. Of course, to do this, filmmakers need good scripts and interesting storytelling, not following a boring path,” screenwriter Kim Ngoc analyzed.
