Adapted from the novel "Western Region Lies the King" by author Tran Tiem, "Tu Phuong Quan" is set in the Western Region, telling the story of Nguyen Mac (Dan Kien Thu) - a detective from a wealthy family. He is a sharp person, outwardly cunning and clever, but extremely meticulous and logical.
In the middle of the An Binh year during Dai Ung's reign, Nguyen Mac brought the "Tu Phuong Quan" seal to issue permits to enter the city for foreigners. He unexpectedly met the Western Princess - A Truat (Chau Y Nhien) - an intelligent person. knowledgeable about poison but was exiled to Tu Phuong Quan to serve general Vuong Con Ngo.
However, A Truat accidentally later became a "maid" for Nguyen Mac. Since then, the two gradually bonded emotionally and grew through each difficult task.
According to media, the film will have a youthful and vibrant style, mixed with dramatic and humorous details. Dan Kien Thu 's acting is also an attractive factor as before, his name was popular thanks to his role as Tuong Lieu/Phong Phong Boi in "The Tuong Tuong".
Being a talented actor with stable film resources, this project is expected to strengthen Dan Kien Thu's reputation in the Chinese film industry.
Meanwhile, another movie also airing at the end of August (expected on August 22) is "Long Lac Khuc" by Dinh Vu He and Dang An Hi. The film is 40 episodes long, adapted from the novel "Truong An Dong Tuoc Minh" by author Phuong Hoang Te.
The film's story revolves around Chau Hanh (Dang An Hi) - the concubine of the Chau palace - who since childhood was taught by the General Governor of the Penal Department, has the ability to solve cases as well as find hidden answers from the smallest clues.
After taking the exam to become a female official, Chau Hanh was determined to find the truth behind the cases. However, because her older sister escaped from the marriage given by the Queen Mother, Chau Hanh had to replace her sister and marry Tham Do (Dinh Vu He) - a leader of the Inner Guard.
Since then, the couple Chau Hanh - Tham Do worked together to solve the case and developed feelings, and were determined to expose dark plots and protect peace and justice for the people.
The work is expected because it brings viewers many diverse cases, as well as showing the power struggle in the royal court. The love story of the male and female leads follows the motif of injustice - from disgust to gradually working together and developing feelings.
However, if Dang An Hi is known as the "new generation costume beauty" and is evaluated for her acting, then Dinh Vu He, despite having an attractive appearance, has unstable role-playing skills.
On the other hand, the actor's minus point is that his ability to create a chemical reaction with his co-star is weak, and he lacks charisma to make the audience love the project.
The media said that the series of behind-the-scenes photos of the couple's "Lac Khuc" show their beautiful couple and good chemistry, and they hope that they will maintain this form when the movie officially airs.
