Recently, the film crew of "Mac Ly" posted a number of posters revealing the appearances of Bach Loc and Thua Loi. Immediately, Bai Lu's appearance received many controversies because it was not as beautiful as expected.
The actress wore light, sweet pastel outfits. The hairstyle is neat and neat, only with simple patterns, not fussy and colorful. In some photos taken by fans behind the scenes, the actress did not even use jewelry.

If Bach Loc's appearance in "Lam Giang Tien" is quite elaborate and soaring, in "Mac Ly", the actress exudes a beauty-prone, standard female-level status.
As for Thua Loi, the actor only has simple hair, wearing mainly blue and white outfits, exuding a youthful, scholarly look. Her small face and delicate features help Thua Loi look much younger than her real age.
However, this appearance accidentally makes Bai Lu look much "weaker" than Thua Loi when standing in the same frame. Although the film has not yet aired, many people commented that the female lead looks more like the male lead's older sister than his lover.

In response to fans' opinions, Bai Lu's studio posted an article on Weibo, affirming that it would make recommendations to the film crew about editing the appearance.
However, the representative also said that the "Mac Ly" crew is trying to restore the character as close to the Tang Dynasty (907-960). Not being suitable for modern cosmetic tastes is inevitable.
The film "Mac Ly" is adapted from the novel "Sister-in-law" by author Phuong Khinh. The film revolves around the female leader of the court of the emperor, Diep Ly (Bach Loc), becoming a concubine with the young master of the court of the emperor Mac Tu Nghiao (Thua Loi). Behind the calmness of both is a plan for personal revenge.

After becoming husband and wife, Diep Ly and Mac Tu Nghiao had to face the task of helping the Young Emperor maintain power, dismantling the plot to win power to keep the country peaceful and prosperous. From here, the feelings between the two became more and more intense.
The film is still in the process of filming, expected to air in 2026 on the Tencent Video platform. With an attractive competition theme, the film is expected to be successful such as "Khanh Du Nien", "Tang Hai Truyen"...
