In "Flowers Bloom After Storms", Chu Chau has a transformation with many changes when taking on the role of Hua Mat Ngu - a woman who steps out of a 10-year marriage to find her true self.
At the beginning of the film, Hua Mat Ngu is not a strong, decisive female lead model. After many years of spending most of her time with her family, she becomes dependent on her husband and gradually doubts her own abilities before the evaluations and downgrades from her partner.
Chu Chau chose a restrained way of expressing to portray the character's traumatic state. Hua Mat Ngu did not change after just one incident. She had to face unemployment, age complexes, low-level jobs and prejudiced eyes before gradually regaining her confidence.
Notably, the woman who once appeared as a "third party" in Mat Ngu's marriage also became her opponent at work. Lo Trinh Trinh played by Ly Mong not only wants to win a man but also pursues ambition and position.
Character building helps the confrontation between Chu Chau and Ly Mong go beyond the familiar motif of two women competing for affection. When meeting again in the office environment, Mat Ngu must protect the achievements and positions she has built for herself.
Besides, Chung Han Luong plays Ky Phong, general director of Pho Vinh Hotel. The character is built in a mature, calm and respectful direction of Mat Ngu's abilities.
Ky Phong recognizes her ability even when Mat Ngu is just a janitor. However, he does not play the role of a hero rescuing the female lead but gives her the opportunity to prove her ability. The relationship between the two characters develops from observation, recognition to trust before gradually forming feelings.
Meanwhile, Kinh Sieu plays Nhiep Du Thanh - Mat Ngu's ex-husband. Outwardly elegant and successful, the character is selfish, possessive and tends to control his partner. This is the character who contributed to creating the upheaval that forced Hua Mat Ngu to start her life over.
Flowers Bloom After Storm" broadcast on TodayTV (SCTV2).
