Throughout his acting career, since rising to fame with the role of Canh in the movie "Quynh Bup Be" aired in 2018, perhaps, Doan Quoc Dam has never had to face such a strong reaction from the audience.
Although he plays a role with high frequency and has a time when it is on air continuously, Doan Quoc Dam often receives compliments for his acting ability, investment, and transformation in roles on prime time waves.
It was not until "The Wind Across the Blue Sky" - Dang's role of Doan Quoc Dam received many mixed opinions, in which, on film forums - that the audience compared Dang's appearance and personality with the original Hua Huyen Son in "30 Not yet".
Although Doan Quoc Dam has affirmed that he has no intention of making a face like the original, he will turn Dang into a different version, closer to the Vietnamese people. However, Dang's appearance was criticized for not being like the CEO, and his acting style was also unnatural when interacting with romantic scenes with co-star Phuong Oanh.
Most recently, Doan Quoc Dam's about 1-minute bath scene became a topic of discussion, receiving many reactions across social networking platforms.
The audience criticized the lack of tact in the camera angle, causing Doan Quoc Dam to have a performance that lost the necessary aesthetics. Although the character of Dung Bao was showered to wash away his guilt, expressing psychological striving and regret, the live and uncompreended filming scene turned Doan Quoc Dam into the center of criticism. The image of Doan Quoc Dam was cut with scenes with similar content from Korean, Chinese, American actors... and compared from camera angles, acting, to appearance.
In particular, if we ignore the psychological developments of the character or the camera angles, in terms of body - Doan Quoc Dam is also far behind the international cast.
If Korean actors like Park Seo Joon, Song Seung Hun show off their muscles, beautiful bodies... then Doan Quoc Dam has a much better body. The audience believes that to have a beautiful and healthy body, Korean actors often have to diet and follow a strict exercise schedule to maintain weight and figure. But for Vietnamese actors in general, not only Doan Quoc Dam, many artists still do not have awareness and responsibility for discipline in maintaining their image when making films.
The role of "general" of Doan Quoc Dam was criticized for being sloppy and untidy from appearance to costumes.
Going beyond the story of a 1-minute scene - which seemed un controversy, raises many problems.
The way of filming and choosing the filming angle of Vietnamese films was also discussed, as world cinema already has "absolutely cinematic" filming angles, beautiful, with an advanced machine system.
The fact that the 1-minute filming scene became the focus of controversy and was shared, compared to Korean films, Trung films that were popular across social networks showed the weaknesses that need to be overcome in both actors and filming.
The audience is now very demanding. In an invested work, the cast all have a reputation like "The Wind Across the Blue Sky" and need more attention in each scene.
