Another unhappy wife
In the movie "Heart Rescue Station" currently airing, Hong Diem plays the main role of Ngan Ha. After 6 episodes aired, the film received many controversial opinions from the audience.
The film revolves around the story of Ngan Ha, a successful woman. From the outside, she has a happy 5-year marriage with Nghia (Quang Su) and is loved by her mother-in-law.
Meaning - on the surface he appears to love and pamper his wife, but in reality he is a scheming and cruel person. To avoid having children, Nghia mixed birth control pills into milk for his wife to drink every day.
Before the movie "Heart Rescue Station" aired, Hong Diem also shared that she had a lot of pressure and anxiety: "I'm afraid of the feeling, many viewers say that when they look at Hong Diem, they see the image of a woman. female like this and that".
Playing the role of a woman with many hidden memories and events in life in the new film, Hong Diem seems to have not made a breakthrough compared to the characters she has played before.
Not only repeating the appearance and identity of the character, Hong Diem also encountered many psychological states she had experienced.
On forums, audiences humorously said they felt like they were watching "Sunflower Against the Sun" in another universe.
Having played this type of role too many times, it is difficult for Hong Diem to create the highlight or breakthrough needed in her career.
The actress also became the center of controversy when she was criticized for being older than her co-star Quang Su, and some emotional scenes of the couple Ha - Nghia were unnatural and forced.
Hong Diem was once praised
The audience has seen the patient and "suffering" Hong Diem on screen many times, with the only difference being the character's name and the film's setting.
Looking back at Hong Diem's acting career, perhaps the audience will understand why she is always under pressure to renew herself and go beyond her comfort zone.
In 2018, "A Lifetime of Resentment" resonated, in which Hong Diem played the role of Dung - a beautiful, capable, gullible woman. In the movie, Dung is the daughter-in-law of a rich family but has to live with her harsh and demanding mother-in-law.
In 2019, Hong Diem succeeded with the role of Khue in "Rose on the left chest". Khue started out as a gentle and weak wife who only knew how to do kitchen work all year round, and was looked down upon by her husband because she didn't make money. After that, Khue decided to divorce and try to rebuild her life.
As Khue, Hong Diem showed maturity in acting, emotional maturity, many scenes caused storms on forums when Hong Diem acted drunk or miserable.
With "Sunflower Against the Sun" (2020), Hong Diem escaped poverty and played the role of young lady Minh Chau of a wealthy family. However, Chau had a bitter life, full of suffering when her emotions were taken advantage of for revenge. In "Sunflower Against the Sun", Hong Diem affirmed her position and her acting ability became more and more perfect.
However, in Hong Diem's most recent work, "Journey of Justice" paired with Viet Anh, the actress showed repetition.
In the roles Hong Diem plays, whether she is a poor child or a rich lady, the character still sheds tears many times, helpless before her fate.
Coming to "Heart Rescue Station", the repetition is even more obvious in the first episodes. With the same family theme, continuously airing for a long time, the works are making things difficult for Hong Diem herself.
Hong Diem will not be able to go further and spread her best if she continues to be tied to family stories within 4 walls.
To break through, Hong Diem needs to step beyond her comfort zone and need a project with a more creative writing team in terms of ideas and content.
