Harbin 1944
"Harbin 1944" is a spy thriller film that will air in early 2024. Previously, this work was expected to help Duong Mich's career return to its peak after a series of disastrous films such as "The 80/20 Law of Love", "Thank You Doctor"...
However, Duong Mich's acting was once again the weak point that completely ruined the film. The actress was criticized for her stiff, inflexible expressions, poor diction, and her beauty showing obvious signs of aging...
As a result, Harbin 1944 aired on all three stations, Dongfang, Beijing and Jiangsu, but all had low ratings. Especially on Dongfang, the work was in the top 5 films with the lowest viewership with 0.4%.
Want to love forever
Possessing one of the most famous young casts at the moment with a large fan base, Duong Tu and Pham Thua Thua, but "Muon mai vien yeu" is still turned away by the audience because of many unstable points in the script and acting.
The female lead character in the film was criticized for her "green tea" personality, being hypocritical, knowing that her best friend already had a girlfriend but still acting overly intimate, and eventually falling in love with her best friend.
Besides, the "chemistry" between Duong Tu and Pham Thua Thua was judged to be awkward and unnatural due to the age difference. Duong Tu was also commented to look more like the male lead's sister than his lover.
The Little Fox Demon: The Red Moon
After the failure of "Harbin 1944", fans believe that Duong Mich will explode with "The Fox Demon: The Red Moon" because the historical genre is the actress's strong point. In addition, this is also the most heavily invested IP adaptation of the iQIYI platform, airing in 2024.
However, "The Fox Demon: The Red Moon" unexpectedly had a disastrously low performance, far behind other historical dramas airing at the same time such as "The Legend of Qing 2" and "The Legend of Fuyao".
The film scored 5.6 points on douban with 78,000 reviews, the highest temperature (hotness) only reached 9,000 points with 60,000 - 70,000 online viewers, an extremely poor number compared to an S+ level historical blockbuster of Chinese cinema.
Pearl curtain
Right from the start of filming, "The Pearl Curtain" has been embroiled in many controversies related to the male lead Liu Yu Ning. However, the film is still expected because the highlight is Trieu Lo Tu - the female lead with a huge fan base and the ability to create "chemical reactions" with her co-stars very well.
When the first episodes aired, the film still had good results. However, as time went on, "Rem ngoc chau sa" gradually weakened due to the unattractive script, exaggerated details, and too much favoritism for the female lead. The lack of chemistry between Luu Vu Ninh and Trieu Lo Tu also made the audience bored.
The film ended with a douban score of 6.3 points, in the top 5 films with the lowest ratings on all three TV stations: Jiangsu, Beijing, and Dongfang.
Great dream of separation
"Dai Mong Quy Ly" is one of the most anticipated works to air in the second half of 2024. Directed by director Guo Jingming, the film captivates fans with its character designs as well as beautiful, meticulous camera angles.
However, the film disappointed the audience because of its slow, sleepy pace, dark color, and focus on showing off the actors' beauty without investing in the script's content. The unnecessary humorous details were emphasized by special effects and music, making many people think of cheap online short films.
