Vietnamese cinema at the end of 2026 recorded the return of many familiar actresses. After Thanh Hang, Minh Hang returned with "Mother Mine".
Accordingly, in the role, Minh Hang appears in ao dai, black conical hat, beaded necklace and heavy makeup. The character is placed in a red and black space, creating a feeling of power but difficult to predict. The introduction part has not revealed much about the content as well as determining whether Mother Min is a villain or a character with her own story.
This is a rare time Minh Hang enters the world of fantasy cinema with folk material. Before that, the actress was often known for romantic, comedy and psychological films. Choosing a character associated with fear in the memories of many generations shows that she continues to find ways to change her image instead of returning to safe roles.
Minh Hang's comeback takes place after Thanh Hang was introduced in "Mesdames Thanh Sac". The two actresses have different paths but both choose characters with strong personalities. If Thanh Hang has long been associated with a cold, sharp and powerful aura, Minh Hang often moves between many genres, from romance, comedy to psychology and drama.
The close appearance of Thanh Hang and Minh Hang also shows that film projects are giving more central position to experienced actresses. Instead of only taking on the emotional line alongside male characters, they are given roles that can lead the story and shape the color of the work.
For Minh Hang, "Mother Mine" may be an opportunity to expand her acting range, especially in the ability to express mystery and fear but still create depth.
