The plot of the movie "Walking in the Bright Sky" takes a turn when the relationship between the couple Pu (Thu Ha Ceri) and Chai (Long Vu) becomes complicated.
The appearance of Thai (Vuong Anh) and his fiancee drags Pu and his two roommates into arguments and verbal battles.
However, the film has been continuously embroiled in controversy, receiving backlash from audiences for its rambling content and portraying a bad, toxic female lead.
In the first 10 episodes, Pu was loved because of his good interactions with Chai. During their time living in the village, Pu and Chai were a couple who often argued with each other.
However, when Pu encountered many obstacles and had difficulty going to university, she was willing to be friendly and please Chai to receive gifts and clear her debt.
Although he always claimed to be a poor student from the mountains who came to the city to study, Pu continuously had confusing actions such as threatening Chai to save his friend, mistakenly blaming his roommate for stealing money, causing his roommate to have an allergic reaction without apologizing...
In his relationship with Chai, Pu was criticized as ungrateful, selfish, and took advantage of Chai's feelings for his own benefit. After meeting Thai - a rich, romantic man, Pu spoke ill of Chai and made viewers angry.
However, every time she had trouble, she called Chai to ask for help and got upset if he didn't pick up the phone. Meanwhile, Pu was falling for Thai despite being stopped by her roommate.
Audiences compare "Walking in the Bright Sky" to TV dramas from 20 years ago, about a stubborn, rebellious female lead who is pursued by a rich young master and has many other satellites around her.
At one point, the number of viewers of the latest livestream episode on the producer's YouTube channel reached 260,000 people - a high number for a film shown simultaneously on two platforms.
However, the "love triangle" style script, the female lead is often criticized for being mean, or playing the victim, making the film gradually lose its appeal.
In terms of acting, Thu Ha is even inferior to the two actors who play roommates, Khanh Ly (as Le) and Yen Dan (as Nhu) in some scenes.
When Nhu argued with Thai's future wife, Pu was almost "invisible" even though she was getting to know Thai. In the dialogue scenes between the three, the audience gave many compliments to Le's Central accent or Nhu's capricious, graceful appearance.
Every time she is criticized for her forced acting, stiff expressions, and poor diction, Thu Ha Ceri posts a video to refute, blaming her modest height, camera angle...
Previously, when the film became a phenomenon on the TikTok platform, the audience paired Thu Ha with Long Vu in real life.
Under pressure from the audience and the excessive support of a group of fans, the actress wrote a letter asking the audience to stop attacking and making rude comments to her relatives, including her boyfriend.
The actress's letter did not appease the audience. Many people pointed out that Thu Ha intentionally became close to Long Vu, causing misunderstandings, then spoke up to defend her boyfriend, unintentionally causing Long Vu to be criticized for lacking tact.
