Immediately after being announced, the project quickly attracted attention, with previews exceeding 4.1 million views, becoming one of the most anticipated works of April.
Gai ngau thien thanh" is adapted from the novel of the same name by author Thap Tu Lang, along with the "universe" with familiar works such as "Tam thien nha sat" and "Niem vo song". The film's content is in a tiên hiệp direction but exploits many "anti-motive" elements, revolving around the love - destiny story between two characters with special fates.
In the film, Ren Jialun plays Luc Thien Kieu - the last descendant of the War Demon tribe, carrying the curse of "five imperfections" that makes him not feel the world like a normal person. To resolve it, the character is forced to go through five lifetimes of harsh changes. Meanwhile, Vuong Hac Nhuan plays Tan Mi - a nun with a natural talent but with a "harsh husband" destiny, always shunned.
Two people who are both teased by fate have chosen to marry according to a calculated agreement. However, from a relationship of interest, they gradually become attached when facing life-and-death events. The highlight of the film lies in the "heart-to-heart" detail that makes the two characters share feelings of pain, thereby developing a relationship from confrontation to companionship.
The film's script does not only stop at love stories but also extends to the element of power and strategy, the journey to discover ancient secrets and the battle with dark forces. The setting stretches from the capital to the desert, from the palace to the secret landscapes, creating a space rich in epic.
The project gathers a large cast, besides the two main characters, there is also the participation of many faces such as Tieu Thuan Nghiao, Truong Khai Doanh, Vuong Di Luan... and talented actors such as Thanh Thai Sam, Khuu Tam Chi. Notably, two actors Luu Hoc Nghia and Trinh Nghiep Thanh also participate as guests, creating links with previous works in the same worldview.
Regarding the production crew, director Quach Ho - who was behind the success of many historical costume projects - takes on the role of director, while screenwriter Trieu Na is expected to bring a tight and emotional script.
One point that the audience is particularly interested in is that Ren Jialun once shared that this could be his last ancient costume project in the near future. This makes "Fateful Love" considered the male actor's "breakup work" with the film genre that made his name.
