Earlier this month, the news that Song Weilong and Zhao Jinmai would star in the Chinese drama “I am like the radiant sun” caused a stir. This is because this is a film project adapted from a novel by famous writer Gu Man.
“I am like the bright sunshine” is introduced as a key project produced by Tencent, directed by Tran Tru Phi and personally written by Gu Man.
Previously, four of Gu Man's novels were adapted into films, all of which were very successful, including "Sam Sam is Here" in 2014 (Zhao Liying, Zhang Han), "Forever and Ever" in 2015 (Wallace Chung, Tang Yan), "Love at First Sight" in 2016 (Zheng Shuang, Yang Yang), and "You Are My Pride" in 2021 (Yang Yang, Dilraba Dilmurat).
Therefore, fans have high expectations for the next adaptation of Gu Man's novel starring Zhao Jin Mai and Song Wei Long.
But recently, a series of behind-the-scenes photos of "I am like the bright sunshine" that went viral online has disappointed fans.
The appearance of the female lead Nhiep Hi Quang, played by Trieu Kim Mach, was criticized as "rustic", "nothing special", "the same style over and over again"... Even though in this film, she is the daughter of a wealthy family, with a solar energy company - where the male lead Lam Tu Sam (Tong Uy Long) was appointed Deputy General Director.
The costumes that the film's stylist often gave the actress were jeans, colorful sweaters, long coats and high boots. The audience even criticized the styling team because in addition to the bad costumes, Trieu Kim Mach's hair was not styled carefully.
Many comments compared Trieu Kim Mach to Bach Loc in the movie “Di ai vi doanh”. Bach Loc was once criticized for “wearing branded clothes like they were from the market” and “having a rustic style”, despite playing the role of a beautiful and sharp economic reporter.
Some other comments said that Zhao Jinmai's style in 2024 is worse than Zhao Liying's style in the 2014 movie "Sam Sam Comes Here".
