In addition to the 8-minute trailer, the audience also watched episodes 2 and 8. Most of the responses are positive, especially in the martial arts element - which is rare on the Chinese small screen.
In the two episodes shown, the film impressed with its setting, costumes, music and design of the combat scenes. Many opinions say that the atmosphere of the film reflects the spirit of traditional martial arts, even reminiscent of the ancient Hong Kong (China) comedy style through some gentle, humorous details.
The performance of Thanh Nghi - the male lead in the role of Tieu Thu Thuy is commented to have made clear progress compared to the work before "Lien Hoa Lau". The journey to adulthood of this character is also identified as a continuous thread, shaping the entire film. Meanwhile, the female lead of Co Luc Na Tra has not appeared in the audition episodes, so the audience is still waiting for her performance when the film is officially released.
In addition to the artistic factor, "Pho Son Hai" also left a strong mark in commercial aspects. According to statistics from Tencent, the film has surpassed 6 million pre-orders - a figure that shows significant appeal before the broadcast date.
Notably, the production crew also announced a list of more than 60 brands collaborating with the work. In particular, many big brands have quickly "sold out" to cheer for the film and for actor Thanh Nghi - who is proving his strong ability to be proactive.
The support of many brands shows that the film "Pho Son Hai" is not only expected for artistic quality but also possesses great economic potential. This could be a favorable start for the historical drama market - martial arts in the second half of this year.
The film "Pho Son Hai" will officially air from September 11, broadcast at 6pm every day on Tencent.
