In the new developments of the film "My Father, the One Who remains", Mrs. Lien (Thu Quynh) continuously pressures Nguyen (Tran Nghia) to return to live with her.
Things did not go as expected, causing Ms. Lien to call her ex-husband, Mr. Chinh ( Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai) to question. She thought that Mr. Chinh was the one who kept Nguyen in Vietnam, because Nguyen had asked her to return home with the reason of visiting her father and younger sister.
However, Mr. Chinh affirmed that Nguyen had worked at a hospital near her home and had no intention of going abroad to live with her mother.
Lien could not bear the absence of his son and started crying and being angry. Mr. Chinh also determined not to let his son leave again. Due to conflicts with his ex-wife, he neglected and almost had an accident at the construction site.
Meanwhile, Lien called Nguyen again and cried. She promised that if Nguyen returned to her, she would let him return to Vietnam more often. "What about you? Now you abandon your mother and will never care about her anymore, right? ", Lien excitedly asked her son.
When she learned that her ex-husband was close to female architect Tue Minh (Luong Thu Trang), Lien was also angry and continuously caused trouble.
When watching the film, the audience commented that Ms. Lien is a frustrating character, while the couple Ms. Lien - Mr. Chinh, although divorced, still have many conflicts and disagreements about raising children.
Before that, Ms. Lien divorced Mr. Chinh after their daughter unfortunately died in an accident. Due to the great pain, Mrs. Lien became bitter and always took advantage of Nguyen's time. Therefore, Mr. Chinh decided to divorce to protect his son.
Despite being divorced for decades, Mr. Chinh and Ms. Lien still argue and argue every time they mention taking care of their children. Nguyen grew up in many tragedies and suffered from depression, with many psychological damage.
Actress Thu Quynh shared that Lien's personality is completely opposite to her in real life. "Lien brings me many fears as well as negative emotions, but I am forced to convey all the tragedy of the character," the actress said.
For Thu Quynh, the most haunting scene was when Lien Quang was in the hospital. That is the scene in episode 15, when Lien Duong woke up after a terrible accident and heard that both her second husband and daughter had passed away. Lien's mother also died a few days earlier.
"I didn't want to absorb that negative energy too much and left it in me for too long, so I tried to focus on filming only once for each camera corner. I left my mind empty when acting in that scene and let all emotions flow away," Thu Quynh recalled.
Meanwhile, Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai had an impressive role, receiving much love from the audience. Mr. Chinh is a gentle, cheerful person, hot in the air.
At the end of the film, Mr. Chinh has feelings for the architect Tue Minh. The scene where Mr. Chinh smiled at receiving a message from Tue Minh attracted tens of thousands of views.
The film marks the return of artist Bui Nhu Lai after the film "Under the shade of a happy tree" in 2023. Dr. - Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai currently holds the position of Vice Principal of Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema.
