After "The Nine Deadly Sins", on January 24, Ly Quan Nhue will return to the Chinese small screen with the movie "To Myself 1999", co-starring with Hoang Duong Dien Diem.
The film revolves around the "good girl" Tien Gia Nguyet (Dien Diem) - who passed the entrance exam to the city's key high school, and begins to face many challenges in her studies.
At the same time, her plan to confess her love to her elite neighbor Xiao Han (Li Jun Rui) also ends in failure. Meanwhile, her adopted younger brother Mao Tou (Chen He Yi) is smart but very troublesome.
Amidst a series of "troubles", Gia Nguyet meets Tran Mat (Truong Han Y) - a strong, individualistic girl. After going through many things, the duo becomes close and matures together.
Besides the stories of high school students, the film also depicts the differences in thinking and lifestyle between parents and children.
According to the media, "To Myself in 1999" is likely to achieve high results when exploiting the nostalgic life genre. The cute and sweet details in school life as well as stories about family promise to be well received by the audience.
In addition, the participation of a young cast, in which, Ly Quan Nhue is considered a highlight with outstanding appearance and good acting. The actor is expected to portray well the role of Tieu Ham - a passionate, lovely boy with a sunny smile.
One thing that makes "To Myself 1999" stand out is that it is the first project that Ly Quan Nhue and Dien Diem collaborated on. Despite the 11-year age difference (Ly Quan Nhue was born in 1996, Dien Diem was born in 2007), the two stars are praised for their well-proportioned and beautiful appearance.
Competing with "To Myself 1999" is the film "Five Blessings Comes to the Door" by Wong Jingyue and Lu Yuxiao, which will air on January 25.
The film revolves around the Ly family in Luoyang during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Mrs. Ly gave birth to five famous, beautiful, and talented daughters, but their marriages were delayed and not as expected. The Ly family wanted to marry their daughters to the capital city of Bianjing, to find new relationships and develop their businesses.
Among the 5 daughters, Khang Ninh (Lu Duc Hieu) - the 3rd daughter of the Ly family is the most noticed because of her strong and decisive personality. She accidentally meets Sai An (Vuong Tinh Viet) - a boy from a prestigious family and gradually develops deep feelings.
Before the film was released, intimate images and sweet interactions between Vuong Tinh Viet and Lu Duc Hieu while promoting the film were widely shared by the audience. However, the film still faced some concerns when the female lead's appearance was criticized for not being beautiful.
In addition, the fact that Lu Duc Hieu's breathing is not good and he has to rely on someone else to voice him is also considered a disadvantage, making it difficult to convey all of the character's emotions.
Therefore, the media's expectations are directed towards Vuong Tinh Viet, who previously became famous for his impressive performance in the movie "Mac Vu Van Gian".
Along with that, the plus point of "Ngu Phuc Lam Mon" is that it is a humorous historical drama, suitable for the New Year atmosphere. The appearance of Ly Quan Nhue and Dien Diem is also an attractive factor.
If the male actor plays a guest role - the short-lived father of the 5 daughters of the Ly family, then co-star Dien Diem transforms into the naughty youngest daughter Nhac Thien - who is married to the rich young master Duong Han (Dong Tu Thanh).
