Ngoc Xuan went through many difficult stages before becoming the main beauty in the film "Once Upon a Time There Was a Love Story".

Actress Ngoc Xuan received a lot of attention from the audience when playing the main role in the film "Once Upon a Time There Was a Love Story", adapted from a story by writer Nguyen Nhat Anh.

She is a relatively new face to cinema, commented to have a pure and gentle beauty. Many audiences call Ngoc Xuan the "gewel" of the new generation.

Before having her first leading role in her career, Ngoc Xuan studied communications, studied abroad in Australia, and had time to work as a waiter to make ends meet.

In a conversation with Lao Dong reporter, the 9X beauty recounted: "When I went studying abroad and lived independently, I understood the value of money and labor. My time as a bus conductor in Melbourne was when I learned the most.

I work at a buffet restaurant, I observe each customer coming and talking to them. There were times when there was no money left in my pocket, I didn't dare call home to ask my parents, I just asked for a salary in advance to cover my expenses. Those experiences are extremely valuable to me, helping me understand life".

Ngoc Xuan has loved acting since she was a child, but she said she did not dare to study this field, so she switched to studying media. There was a time when she worked in marketing, communications, and cherished her goal of doing behind-the-scenes work.

Ngoc Xuan was born in 1999 in Tien Giang. Before acting in movies, Ngoc Xuan appeared in the movie "Mother's Dream" (2022), the MV "For the Morning Star" by singer Lam Truong.

Ngoc Xuan, Avin Lu, and Do Nhat Hoang passed many selection rounds to convince director Trinh Dinh Le Minh and the production team.

Becoming the next "muse" in the film adapted from the works of writer Nguyen Nhat Anh, Ngoc Xuan is praised for her pure and gentle beauty. In her first leading role in a movie, Ngoc Xuan took on a role with psychological weight, many shades, including scenes of 18+.

To portray the role of Mien well in "Once Upon a Time There Was a Love Story", Ngoc Xuan diligently practiced acting. She reflected on the long story of writer Nguyen Nhat Anh for many consecutive months to transform into Mien.

Talking about her first role, Ngoc Xuan confided: "I think for actors, the first role is always the most important role. Coming to me is more meaningful than a first role. Mien is like a close friend of mine, with many interesting similarities. Mien and I have enough qualities so that I can transform into Mien and enough to be different so that I strive to learn. Thanks to Mien, I discovered many other aspects of myself".
