In the movie "Countdown Clock" episode 12, Lan Phuong made a strong impression when playing Kieu Tho - a wealthy rich woman but with a deviant personality, suffering from narcissistic personality disorder and extreme controlling desire. The actress's fierce acting style made many viewers comment "no one is as crazy as Lan Phuong".
In the movie, the character Chien (Binh Anh) takes advantage of his love affair with Kieu Tho to have money, houses and help his girlfriend Minh Anh stabilize her life. However, when Chien tries to withdraw, Kieu Tho discovers it and becomes extremely jealous.

She imprisoned Chien, tortured him mentally and even kidnapped Minh Anh to intimidate him, and also monitored Chien's mother to force him to return.
Angry at being exploited and abandoned, Kieu Tho is determined to regain everything with extreme actions. This character originally admitted that she is "quick and slow", often quickly ending relationships, but it was Chien's escape that caused the ambition to possess and destroy in her to rise.

Lan Phuong's "like possessed" acting in these scenes received many compliments from the audience on social networks.
On her personal page, she humorously shared about this role: "Just looking at the photos, it feels like a romance movie, Chien! I love Chien!
Many viewers praised Lan Phuong's acting talent.
It's not Lan Phuong, who can do this role," a viewer wrote.
Only Lan Phuong can play this role," another person commented.
For Lan Phuong, taking on heavy psychological characters is no longer unfamiliar. In many films such as "A Lifetime of Resentment, My Family Suddenly Happy" or "Wind across the Blue Sky", she often plays strong personality women, even villains with many dramatic scenes.
The character Kieu Tho in "Countdown Clock" is considered an "upgraded" version of previous roles: more powerful, dangerous and unpredictable.
