Many viewers believe that the film has not made a breakthrough compared to many previous romance ancient costume works, and at the same time question the acting ability of the two main actors.
Mac Ly" tells the story of Diep Ly (played by Bach Loc) and Mac Tu Nhieu (played by Thua Loi), a couple who go through a journey of revenge and family protection together. However, the motif of the female lead being shunned by the family, the male and female leads "marrying first and loving later" or growing up together has appeared too much in historical dramas in recent years.
Some details in the film are also considered unconvincing. In particular, the intellectual battles in the family and the power and strategy knots are considered simple, solved in a direction favorable for the main character.
Besides the content, Bach Loc's acting became the most discussed topic. The article argues that the actress has not brought a clear difference between the roles, the way she expresses emotions still has a familiar color. Meanwhile, Thua Loi is commented on not being able to promote the strength that once helped him make his mark in previous projects.
In addition to acting, the styling of the female characters also received many mixed opinions. A part of the audience believes that the overly white makeup makes the actors' faces look unnatural on screen.
However, the above assessments only reflect the perspective of a part of the audience. On film forums, many viewers still praise the quite fast pace of the film, the invested setting and the chemical reaction between Bach Loc and Thua Loi. Many people think that the film has only aired the first episodes, so it is too early to draw conclusions on overall quality.
In fact, Bach Loc is still one of the actresses with a large fan base on the Chinese screen. Meanwhile, Thua Loi is considered a rising face after a series of attention-grabbing roles in recent years. Therefore, all information related to "Mac Ly" quickly became a topic of debate.
Despite receiving many mixed opinions, the heat of "Mac Ly" has not shown any signs of cooling down. The film continues to attract the attention of audiences and is considered one of the notable ancient costume works of Chinese cinema during this time.
