Many audiences were surprised to discover that two TV series that are attracting attention, "Tam su Kieu Nghien" (played by Trieu Le Dinh and Tan Chi Loi) and "Let Me Shine" starring Trieu Lo Tu, are actually adapted from the same novel called "Dai Kieu Tieu Kieu Kieu" by author Truong Duyet Nhien.
The play "Dai Kieu Tieu Kieu" is a famous novel in the urban modern genre, focusing on depicting the complex relationship between family love, love and maturity of the female lead in her journey to assert herself. Thanks to this psychological depth, the work has attracted the attention of filmmakers, leading to the birth of two film and television projects almost in parallel.
Although based on the same literary foundation, the way of handling scripts and exploiting content has a clear difference. "Confessions of Qiao Yan" is oriented towards psychological and emotional color, exploiting the inner thoughts, maturity and hidden corners of the main character. Meanwhile, "Let Me Shine" chose a more popular storytelling style, focusing on vibrant rhythms, romantic elements and a journey to affirm its position in modern society.
The interesting thing is that when following, many audiences find it difficult to recognize the similarities between the two versions, because each project has its own "cutting" and creative way. One side focuses on inner depth, the other side promotes entertainment and creates market effects. It is this contrast that has caused fans of the original to constantly discuss, while opening up new perspectives on the ability to transform literature into many different forms of works.
The fact that the same novel was adapted by two teams with two different styles shows the great appeal of "Dai Kieu Tieu Kieu" as well as the diversity in artistic creation.
