In the film, Huynh Kien An plays the role of Mr. Hung - a former athlete who after retiring became a "housewife" of a family with 3 daughters.
Mr. Hung has a “achievement disease” and is very proud. That is why Anh Duong (played by Diep Bao Ngoc) - his intelligent and successful eldest daughter - becomes his pride. He often refers to Anh Duong as a brilliant flower, as a “golden cup” he wants to show off.
But for Anh Nguyet (played by Bao Han) - the youngest daughter, he sets much stricter requirements. Anh Nguyet, with her father's athletic talent, is always forced to practice non-stop.
The gold medals he won became the yardstick for him to compare himself to, demanding that his daughter achieve them.
Not only is Mr. Hung vain, he is also a heartless father who always discriminates between his children. With Anh Duong, Mr. Hung always shows a cheerful and gentle attitude. Meanwhile, Anh Nguyet is under a lot of pressure to achieve results, and Anh Minh (played by Ngoc Huyen) is always scolded and neglected by him.
Excellently playing the role of a father who puts pressure on and is indifferent to his children, the U70 actor is hated by the audience.
Many viewers left comments about Huynh Kien An's role, such as: "Watching the movie made me so angry with Mr. Hung, all children are children, why discriminate like that"; "A father who is both proud and heartless, always forcing his children to succeed without knowing what they really want"...
Defending his character, Huynh Kien An said that Mr. Hung was not wrongly criticized by the audience. However, his hateful actions stemmed from his desire for his children to be more successful than him. When following the recent developments of the film, the audience will feel that Mr. Hung also loves his children very much.
Like the scene where Mr. Hung was heartbroken when he learned that Anh Minh had gone through school violence. His eyes full of regret and extreme pain showed that he had been too heartless to his child.
In the movie, Mr. Hung is a father who does not understand his children, but in real life, Huynh Kien An is a father who is very close to his children.
The actor shared: “I have a son and a daughter. I often talk and confide in my children like friends. I do not discriminate between my children like Mr. Hung. Mr. Hung is not a bad person by nature, it is because he is too carefree and does not pay attention to anyone. Actually, sometimes I am like that too, absorbed in work, leaving all the housework and children to my wife to take care of, so there are times when I am not thoughtful with my children.”
The movie "Live to Love" airs at 9:30 p.m. every Monday and Tuesday on THVL1 channel.
