Young actress Tu Quyen shared about her role as Tuyet Lan in the movie "The Other Side of the City".

The movie "The Other Side of the City" broadcast at prime time is currently receiving a lot of attention. The film revolves around the friendship between Cuong (Hoai Vu) and Khue (Thai Vu) when both are in the same situation and grew up together in a poor neighborhood. The friendship between Cuong and Khue seemed to last until the appearance of Tuyet Lan (Tu Quyen). With the mysteries about the death of Tuyet Lan's twin brother, cracks began to appear between Khue and Cuong, leading to a series of tragedies in recent episodes.

Although a "newcomer" on prime time, young actress Tu Quyen impressed the audience when playing Tuyet Lan - a girl with many injuries after her brother's death. From an innocent girl, happy to have her first close friends to a cold girl planning revenge for her brother, Tuyet Lan transformed quite completely. In particular, Tuyet Lan's eyes when knowing Khue and Cuong were involved in her brother's accident surprised the audience.

Talking to Lao Dong, young actress Tu Quyen said she felt happy because her first role on prime time was well received by the audience. Regarding the character Tuyet Lan, Tu Quyen said that the changes in Tuyet Lan's eyes or actions recently stemmed more from pain than selfishness.

When led by emotions, she may make choices that others disagree with, but I think if I put myself in Tuyet Lan's situation, the audience will partly understand the reasons behind those decisions," Tu Quyen shared.

The actress also hopes that everyone will continue to follow to see whether Tuyet Lan will choose to keep her hatred or find a way to heal herself.

Tu Quyen added that she also thought a lot when taking on the role of Tuyet Lan because this character has a rather complex inner world. "I always remind myself that behind her cold appearance, Tuyet Lan is also an emotional girl, knowing pain and knowing hurt. So I don't try to act in a "cold from beginning to end" style but always find moments for the audience to see very small vibrations in her eyes, the way she looks at people around or when she is alone," Tu Quyen said.

Tu Quyen also hopes to play the role of Tuyet Lan in the most realistic way possible so that the audience can sometimes feel sorry, sometimes be angry, but still understand the reasons behind the actions of this character.

Tu Quyen's real name is Nguyen Hoa Tu Quyen, born in 2006, currently a student at Hanoi University of Theater and Cinema. Before appearing on the small screen, Tu Quyen had many years of attachment to the catwalk. The movie "The Other Side of the City" is the first TV series in her acting career.
