To Dung received a lot of attention when playing the role of Toan, Lam (Quynh Kool)'s husband in "The Wind Across the Blue Sky".
In the latest scene in episode 22, Toan pre-written the divorce papers and placed them on the table for Lam to read after being drunk. The couple just experienced the pain of losing their child when Lam had an abortion.
Before that, Toan was burdened with economic burden and had expressed his unhappy attitude when he heard that Lam was pregnant because he was not ready to become a father. In married life, he saves on expenses while Lam does the opposite. The couple therefore had a conflict.
The character Toan received a lot of criticism from a part of the film audience, being called an unpopular husband.
To Dung admitted that he had expected these reactions. Taking on a character with many thoughts and struggling inner feelings, the actor said: "There are scenes with the main setting, many scenes do not have a single laugh from the character, the pressure with the character is always there. But at that time, I felt that pressure was also a joy, a joy because I was still in the profession.
He also advised the audience that all developments are only on the film, so if you are frustrated with the character, don't leave harsh words on social media for the actors themselves.
To Dung is known as the "supporting male god". Each role has hidden psychological corners that require actors to live with the characters.
He was once remembered by the audience through the films "Very Marriage Contract", "Flavors of Love", "Flowers", "Flowers" ... Most impressive was the role of the Golden Kite in "Life Is Still Beautiful" - the role that won him the Best Supporting Actor award for TV series at the 2024 Golden Kite Awards.
Sharing with Lao Dong reporter, actor To Dung talked about the fate of often playing roles with uncertain fates: "Working at a theater, I became famous for "petty" roles, sometimes even passing away early. In "Black newspaper squad", I was infected with Agent Orange. When "Truong Son Storm", I had brain cancer. In The Remains, Warm Fire, The Scent of the burning Grass, I also sacrificed.
In "Thau Chin in Xiem" or "Cops mat", they were both beaten to death. From stage to television, I have never acted happily."
After a broken marriage, To Dung is currently dating actor Minh Thu. The couple confirmed their relationship last year.
Both worked at the Vietnam Drama Theater. Not only are they colleagues at the same agency, the two have also worked together in a number of films.
In the film Flavors of Love, Minh Thu plays the role of Mrs. Sa when she was young while To Dung plays Phi - Khanh Thys ex-lover, the good brother of Phuong Nam (Phuong Oanh).
Especially in "Border War", the couple plays a couple. Minh Thu has a small scene as the wife of Hung Border Guard (To Dung).
In real life, the couple openly shares photos together on their personal pages, receiving compliments from fans.
During the recent grand ceremony, both participated in the parade and march to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2. During the meaningful days, To Dung and Minh Thu did not forget to take photos together.
