The second season of "We Are Eight Years Later" is attracting the attention of television viewers. In recent episodes, the series focuses on the family story of Nguyet (Quynh Kool) and Tung (B Tran). The couple is on the verge of divorce after Nguyet discovers her husband's infidelity. Tragedy also strikes Nguyet repeatedly when her daughter is involved in an accident.
In other developments, the budding romance between Duong (Huyen Lizzie) and Tuan (Duc Hieu) faces obstacles. Up to this point, Quynh Kool's performance has been convincing to viewers. Meanwhile, Huyen Lizzie has been criticized for lacking a strong impression.

Quỳnh Kool managed to win over the audience's emotions.
Quỳnh Kool plays the role of teacher Nguyệt, who experiences many upheavals in her married life. Previously, she had a happy and fulfilling family life with a successful husband and a well-behaved daughter. Tragedy strikes when Tùng (Nguyệt's husband) has an affair, which is discovered by his mother and wife.
Unable to accept her husband's infidelity, Nguyet decided to move out and rent a small apartment to live with her daughter. However, misfortune continued to plague Nguyet when her daughter was involved in an accident and had to be hospitalized.
Quỳnh Kool's acting is evident in scenes requiring significant psychological transformation. In the scene where she catches her husband cheating, the actress, born in 1995, realistically portrays the pain and despair of a wife who had always loved and trusted her husband. Her shocked eyes, trembling hands and feet, and the way Nguyệt tries to remain calm and hold back her tears afterwards deeply moved the audience.
On social media platforms, this scene garnered millions of views and numerous comments. Viewers praised Quỳnh Kool's natural and authentic acting, and expressed empathy and pity for Nguyệt's situation.
Quỳnh Kool had a memorable role in "Our Time 8 Years Later".
“I cried while watching. I felt sorry for Ms. Nguyet. Quynh Kool acted so well”; “The scene where Nguyet says 'Don't touch me' gave me goosebumps. Only those who have been in Nguyet's situation can understand the pain of being betrayed by their husband”; “Quynh Kool was so immersed in the character”; “The role of teacher Nguyet was made for Quynh Kool”… these are some of the comments from viewers.
Furthermore, scenes such as Nguyệt talking to her daughter about her parents not living together, or the scene where she meets Tùng to discuss the divorce, are all convincingly portrayed by Quỳnh Kool. Through these scenes, the character of teacher Nguyệt emerges as a strong, rational woman, not as weak as she appears on the surface.
Some of Quỳnh Kool's lines in the film later went viral on social media, including: “People often say women can forgive but can't forget. But for me, it's different; not being able to forget means not being able to accept, not being able to forgive”; “I may be weak, submissive, and naive. But there are moral values that I cannot accept. I don't want to live with someone I no longer respect”; “Even if I excuse him a thousand times, when I go to bed and close my eyes, I will still remember his betrayal. I know I can't forget…”
Quỳnh Kool has had a long journey in television. Nearly a decade pursuing acting, she has increasingly proven her talent.
There was a time when Quỳnh Kool's familiar faces on the small screen became tiresome for viewers. However, from "Gara Hạnh Phúc " (2022), "Đừng Làm Mẹ Gùn" to "Chúng Ta Của 8 Năm Sau, " the actress truly transformed. She shed her "screen princess" image to become an impressive female actress on Northern Vietnamese television.
Huyen Lizzie's acting has sparked controversy.
About a year ago, Huyen Lizzie was loved for her role as Van Trang in "Thuong Ngay Nang Ve" and won a VTV Awards . However, her comeback this time hasn't been as smooth.
Huyen Lizzie is facing mixed reactions to her portrayal of Duong. In the first season, this character was played by Hoang Ha, who made a strong impression and was loved by the audience. However, in the second season, viewers expressed disappointment with the female lead's almost monotonous acting and expressions.
In the early episodes, Huyen Lizzie was constantly compared to Hoang Ha. Some of Huyen Lizzie's expressions, such as sighing, puffing out her cheeks, widening her eyes, and smirking, were off-putting. Some viewers even left comments requesting the director to replace the female lead.

In recent episodes, Huyền Lizzie has addressed these issues, but only slightly. In scenes requiring emotional depth, the 34-year-old actress maintains her usual expressive style, and her delivery lacks impact.
Besides Huyền Lizzie's acting, the character Dương's declining popularity also stems from a flawed script and confusing character development. For example, in episode 28, when her best friend is facing the pain of being betrayed by her husband, Dương adds fuel to the fire by revealing that Tùng had betrayed Nguyệt in the past. Dương's actions shock and hurt Nguyệt, leading to her accident. After this scene, viewers criticized Dương for being heartless and thoughtless.
From comparing the performances of Huyền Lizzie and Hoàng Hà, viewers shifted their focus to commenting on the performances of Huyền Lizzie and Quỳnh Kool. Many opinions suggest that Quỳnh Kool is overshadowing Huyền Lizzie in the second part of "Our 8 Years Later ," especially after Nguyệt's marital troubles. Audience attention is now focused on the Nguyệt-Tùng pairing, rather than the main couple, Dương and Lâm.
