After a 3-month filming journey from North to South, the producer of Yeu nham ban than (Best Friend in Love) revealed the first images featuring Kaity Nguyen, Tran Ngoc Vang, and Thanh Son.
Yeu nham ban than (Best Friend in Love) is a remake of the famous Thai movie Friendzone.

While Binh An (Kaity Nguyen) shows Vu Tran (Thanh Son) sweet and affectionate gestures, Bao Toan (Tran Ngoc Vang) gets his ear pinched by Binh An mischievously. This image makes the audience immediately think of a twisted, complicated, and humorous love triangle.
Working together on the big screen for the first time, the trio shared many thoughts about the characters they play.
Sharing about the role of Binh An, Kaity expressed: "Binh An always longs to be loved. When struggling between emotions and reason, she is willing to love madly, even blindly, regardless of right or wrong.
Through a journey full of irony and emotions, Binh An slows down to feel and understand all the emotions around him.

As for Thanh Son, although he resembles Vu Tran in his goatee look, there are still some differences between him and the character.
“In Yeu nham ban than (Best Friend in Love), Vu Tran is the director and producer, knows how to play many musical instruments, this is my biggest challenge when playing the role, because I have to learn to play the guitar in a short time", the actor shared.
