"Walking in the Bright Sky" is a movie that has attracted a lot of attention recently.
The film tells the story of the coming of age journey of a Dao couple named Pu (played by Thu Ha Ceri) and Chai (played by Long Vu).
While Chai insisted on marrying Pu, Pu was determined to go to the city to study, then developed feelings for Thai (Vuong Anh Ole).
After a few episodes, the show suddenly became a hit, followed by young audiences. At one point, the number of people watching the live stream of the new episode on the producer's YouTube channel reached 260,000 - a high number when broadcasting on two platforms at the same time.
Chai's lines and the movie's situations also created a trend on social media. The co-stars Long Vu - Thu Ha Ceri were "shipped" by the audience, supporting their dating.
However, the sudden attention of the film to a large audience has caused a lot of noise. The young cast with poor acting skills is also a factor that makes the public lose sympathy.
Most recently, actor Long Vu had to apologize after making tactless statements.
After attending an event in Quy Nhon, Long Vu posted a status to find out who stole his ring. His vulgar and disrespectful use of words caused him to be criticized for giving the locals a bad reputation.
A day later, the actor confirmed... that he had found the ring and apologized to the audience.
At the same time, Vuong Anh Ole also became the center of attention when he announced that he broke up with his girlfriend because she was jealous and didn't want him to be close to his co-star.
Although Vuong Anh affirmed that he did not use his personal life to promote the film, the audience was "half-believing, half-doubting". He posted the news of the breakup right after the scene of Thai helping Pu fall aired. This was the time when the film entered a new phase when Chai and Thai became love rivals.
Vuong Anh also posted a video about his memories with his hot girlfriend. This action is considered to be "view-baiting" because the audience thinks that if he wants to break up peacefully, the actor should not be entangled with his ex.
After that, the personal page of Ngoc Anh - Vuong Anh Ole's ex-girlfriend, was flooded with attacks from the online community.
On the other hand, a part of the audience is divided, one side pairs Pu - Chai, the other side supports Pu to be with Thai.
However, Thu Ha Ceri already has a boyfriend in real life. She is in a dilemma because she has to keep her distance from her male co-star, while also creating chemistry on screen and behind the scenes with Long Vu.
When being overly criticized, Thu Ha Ceri 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.
Not to mention, Thu Ha Ceri's acting is controversial. Every time she is criticized for her forced acting, stiff expressions, and poor diction, the actress posts a video to refute, blaming her modest height, camera angle...
From a work with novel content and a cast of young stars likened to a strange wind, "Walking in the Bright Sky" received negative reactions because of the actors' personal stories.
