According to Chinese media, "Bac Thuong" and "Tu Cam" have officially had Douban scores.

As for the film "Tu Cam" by Canh Diem, Truong Van Y, it opened at 5.7 with more than 14 thousand reviews.
Thus, "Bac Thuong" is loved and highly appreciated by the audience more than the work starring Canh Diem.
"Bac Thuong" with the theme of family and entrepreneurship among young people in the 1990s is currently very popular. In particular, the female lead Bach Loc received a lot of the audience's affection for her increasingly improved acting. After the film "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh", she returned with a modern theme, a dramatic work that did not follow a sweet and romantic style.
"Bac Thuong" is adapted from the original novel that won the Mao Thuan Award in 2019, taking the story of 6 families in a small neighborhood with canals.
Bach Loc's character Ha Phuong Hoa, when he was a teenager, was a short-haired girl and was as mischievous as a boy, often protecting her friends from bullying. Later, she became a businesswoman and returned to her hometown to preserve and develop the culture of the residential area. The role has many personality traits such as being asgray as a young man, perseverance and courage when growing up, and a sense of mission as a cultural heir. This is the first time Bai Lu has challenged a character aged 16 to 40.
Director Dieu Hieu Phong revealed that Bai Lu has gained 5 kg to get closer to the role, practice the language and body language that is rich in street language.
As for the film "Tu Cam", the film was initially considered a breath of fresh air when bringing a new look into feudal life and society.
The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by author Dong Tian Diu Diep. The film revolves around the important journey of revenge of Khuong Tu (Cang Diem).
In his previous life, Khuong Tu was considered by his family to be a tool to achieve benefits. Her father forced her to sell her to bad guys for personal gain, even being humiliated by her brother-in-law.
At the peak, she died in resentment under the arrow of her lover - Du That (Truong Van Y). The rotation of fate is launched, opening a dramatic journey of changing fate.
The special feature of "Tu Cam" is the fast-paced film, the first part is wrapped in a few minutes. However, the performances of Truong Van Y and Canh Diem were not highly appreciated. Canh Diem was praised for his appearance but his performance was quite bland and did not leave much of an impression.
