On prime time, Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai appeared in the film "My father, the one who stays". The work is a remake ( remade) from the Chinese film "In the Name of a Family".
The artist plays Mr. Chinh - a simple father who is not good at speaking, somewhat hot-tempered and clumsy in the role of family pillar. At first, Mr. Chinh was confused about raising children after his wife left, but thanks to Binh ( Meritorious Artist Thai Son), he gradually learned how to be a good father.
Mr. Chinh is the opposite color to Mr. Binh. Bui Nhu Lai depicts the image of a generous, humane man who always stood up for reason, was strong in society but was extremely warm and loved by his children.
He even prepared to secretly take his children to eat at night if they were hungry, defend them when Mr. Binh strictly taught them, and delicately care about the feelings of each child.
Recently, the scene where Mr. Chinh " warned" the flower digger who was chasing An (Ngoc Huyen) attracted tens of thousands of views. The audience commented that Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai shows a witty, warm but equally demanding father who wants to protect his daughter from love temptations.
