Right in the first episode broadcast on the evening of February 23, the movie "Steps into Life" created a mixed stream of opinions surrounding the costume of the character Thuong played by Quynh Kool.
In the first teaching scene, the young teacher appears in a white shirt combined with blue jeans, with a style of tugging in the front and gently loosening at the back.
This image is considered by some viewers to be youthful, approachable, and represents the image of the new generation of teachers. However, many opinions believe that wearing jeans when teaching official courses is not really suitable for the pedagogical environment, even considering this as a costume detail that is completely contrary to the costume regulations of the pedagogical industry today.

Previously, in the movie "Huong Vi Tinh Than" (Scent of Family Affection), Phuong Oanh faced many mixed opinions when playing the role of a wealthy daughter-in-law, but was commented that her dress did not exude the luxury and lack the charisma of a wealthy family.
In the movie, after marrying Long (Manh Truong), the character Nam (Phuong Oanh) is built with a more neat and trendy image. She often wears branded dresses and clothes, paired with matching accessories to depict the position of the eldest daughter-in-law in a prestigious family.

However, in some episodes, viewers continued to express incomprehension when Nam's home wear was considered cumbersome, lacking sophistication and not really commensurate with the "rich daughter-in-law" image that the film built.
At the time the family movie "Go Home, Son" aired, Thu Quynh also became the focus of discussion because her costumes were considered "shaming". After making a strong impression with the role of My Soi, she switched to the image of Hue being gentle and resilient.

However, the character's fashion style was commented on as lacking highlights, mainly minimalist designs, neutral colors and loose shapes, less flattering the figure.
Although the film's setting revolves around family life with home costumes emphasizing comfort, many viewers believe that Hue's wardrobe partly makes the character look less prominent and lifeless.
