After "1 millimeter away from you", Quynh Kool continues to participate in the new TV series "Steps into Life". The work revolves around the journey of growing up with many ups and downs of 3 sisters Thuong, Trang, Minh before the pressure of making a living and family upheavals, and at the same time conveys a message about family affection as a spiritual support.
Quynh Kool plays Thuong - the eldest sister in the family. Three sisters orphaned, Thuong alone shouldered the responsibility of taking care of her two younger siblings who were at the age of rebellion and needed money to continue their studies. To cover living expenses, she had to do many different jobs.
In the role of a poor girl burdened with family, the 9X actress again caused controversy about her image on screen. Many viewers think that her makeup is quite elaborate, not really suitable for the circumstances, context and character.

Specifically, a viewer commented: "The female lead is from a family with difficult circumstances, living at home but the lime and cement have burst out, exposing all the bricks, but every scene has eyeshadow, mascara, blush, revealing and polishing each eyelash.
It is impossible for a person living at home with lime and plaster that is all burst out to always wear more elaborate makeup than a noble lady like that".
Previously, Quynh Kool was also reacted to when the character Thuong - a contract teacher appeared in a white shirt combined with blue jeans in the first teaching scene.

Some viewers believe that this image brings a feeling of youthfulness, closeness, suitable for the image of the new generation of teachers. However, there are also opinions that wearing jeans when teaching official courses is not really suitable for the pedagogical environment and not in accordance with the regulations on clothing of the education sector.
Besides, many viewers wonder why the crew let the teacher character wear jeans in an official class, saying that this outfit does not show the seriousness needed in the pedagogical environment.
The fact that Vietnamese actors are not willing to sacrifice themselves, always "afraid of being ugly", even when acting in poor, hard-working scenes, they still have to wear elaborate, careful makeup - has become a topic of discussion for audiences for a long time.
