On April 8, the Chinese TV series "Băng hồ trọng sinh" starring Lý Quân Nhuệ and Hoàng Dương Điền Điềm aired on 2 platforms Tencent Video and iQiYi.
Bang Ho Trong Sinh" has been of interest since the actor selection stage, because this work is part 2 of the hit movie "Sở Kiều truyện" starring Trieu Le Dinh, Lam Canh Tan, Dau Kieu, Ly Tham, released in 2017.
However, immediately after being broadcast, "Băng hồ trọng sinh" caused a shock because of a rare situation: although it was broadcast on 2 major platforms, the film did not have any commercials.
The fact that a Chinese film airs without advertising shows that the film does not attract sponsors and the commercial value does not meet expectations.
According to initial assessments, "Bang Ho Trong Sinh" is facing many controversies, mainly revolving around the female lead Hoang Duong Dien Diem when the young actress is compared to Trieu Le Dinh.
9 years ago, Zhao Liying in "The Legend of Chu Qiao" was so thin that she was haggard, rolling around and crawling in the desert, vividly showing the journey from slave to general of Chu Qiao. Just one look makes viewers believe in her resilience.
Even the original author when visiting the film studio had to admire Zhao Liying's persistence.
She resolutely opposed building "Sở Kiều" into a type of female lead with amnesia, sweet romance novels. This understanding of the role has made Trieu Le Dinh's "Sở Kiều" version a hard-to-surpass standard.
9 years later, the person who replaced Zhao Liying was actress Dien Diem, born in 2007, the girl who played the character So Qiao as a child in "The Story of So Qiao".
Through the first episodes of "Bang Ho Trong Sinh", many viewers believe that Hoang Duong Dien Diem is far inferior to Trieu Le Dinh, her face is still immature and cannot bear the image of a female general.
Many comments frankly commented that Hoang Duong Dien Diem is like "children wearing adult clothes"; creating a look that tries to copy Trieu Le Dinh but her acting ability is not commensurate.
Besides, the reason Hoang Duong Dien Diem was opposed was also because the scandal related to her from last year has not subsided.
The incident broke out in May 2025 when Hoang Duong Dien Diem posted a photo wearing earrings and captioned "borrowed from mother". Netizens compared the earrings to a jewelry brand and said that the actress's jewelry was worth about 2.3 million CNY (more than 8 billion VND).
Since then, many people have questioned her family background, her father is an official, with low income, why he has the ability to buy luxury goods. The origin of Hoang Duong Dien Diem's parents' assets is also suspected because her mother is said to use many branded goods, and the family lives in a villa.
After that, the inter-sectoral task force of Ya'an city (China) announced the investigation results showing that Dien Diem's father was a retired official, and indeed violated regulations when doing business (standing in the company's name through relatives to make a profit), while the controversial pair of earrings was confirmed by the inspection center to be fake goods, worth 298 CNY, and a birthday gift given by relatives.
However, suspicions about Hoang Duong Dien Diem's family have never stopped in public opinion.
