Adapted from the novel of the same name by author Ngung Lung, "Dong Chi" tells the love story of police officer Giang Thanh Ngat (Hoang Canh Du) and anesthesiologist Luc Yen (Ton Thien).
After eight years apart, they meet again by chance while solving a serial murder case and clearing up misunderstandings from the past.
On January 1, the film opened its last episode for paid accounts. As expected by the audience, Giang Thanh Ngat (Hoang Canh Du) and Luc Yen (Ton Thien) had a happy ending together.
Meanwhile, the couple Duong Khiet - Dai Chung also had a romantic date - having dinner and watching fireworks; Vu Bach Phong also boldly confessed his love to Professor Du. As for the villain Van Bang, he finally had to go to jail, paying the price for his wrongdoings.
Chinese media commented that the plus point of "Winter Solstice" is that it brings viewers a full range of emotions, from joy and sweetness to pain and fear.
The love story of the doctor-police couple, which is familiar to viewers, is now renewed, creating suspense with consecutive mysterious cases.
In addition, the film initially received mixed opinions about the appearance and character development of the female lead, who was somewhat shy and evasive, but later on, the changes in Luc Yen's personality, clothing, and hairstyle gradually scored points.
Besides, the sweet and harmonious acting of Hoang Canh Du and Ton Thien is also a factor that attracts the audience to sit in front of the screen. The majority praised the two stars for their roles, looking like a real couple.
This is also the reason why, even though it is only a film invested at level A (normal investment level), "Winter Solstice" has a high number of views, ranking top 1 on the Van Hop platform with a market share of 15.7% with 40.17 million views.
The film's achievements surpassed "Cuu Trong Tu" and "Lap To To Giam 2" - market share 14.4% with 36.85 million views.
