According to QQ, many newly aired Chinese movies are simultaneously opening scores on Douban. In the context of a rather gloomy Chinese film market, the scores of the movies quickly become topics of discussion.
The most controversial is "Sở Kiều truyện 2: Băng hồ trọng sinh" starring Hoang Duong Dien Diem, Ly Quan Nhue, Truong Khang Lac, Ha Mong, which only received 3.2 points with 8,500 reviews.
Advertised as a grand S+ project, but "Băng hồ trọng sinh" received an unbelievably low score from the audience. The dense 1-star rating wave almost "collapsed" the film, which can be seen as the first television disaster of 2026.
Bang Ho Trong Sinh" stepped on most of the "steps of failure" of multi-part production films.
The original cast including Trieu Le Dinh, Lam Canh Tan, Dau Kieu, Ly Tham did not return. Instead, the producer let young actress Hoang Duong Diem Diem take on the female lead role of So Kieu - a character who requires a strong aura - making viewers mock So Kieu in part 2 as a "baby general", wearing armor like "children wearing adult clothes".
In addition, the noise related to the family caused Hoang Duong Dien Diem's image in the public eye to decline significantly, leading to the film being negatively reacted to from the beginning.
Producer Truong Mong also caused controversy when he stated that this film is a "maturity ceremony dedicated to Hoang Duong Dien Diem", causing public outrage.
As a result, the film opened with a score of 3.2 on Douban with more than 60% ratings of 1 star. Despite having the advantage of broadcasting on two major platforms, Tencent and iQiYi, "Băng hồ trọng sinh" had no advertising, and brands did not dare to cooperate; the later it got, the colder the temperature on the platform became.
Strong support from investors not only did not create a buzz, but also completely "buried" a film brand that could exploit nostalgic elements.
In addition, the film was also criticized for unconvincing script logic, contradictory character building, difficult acting to create empathy, and the costume - makeup part overshadowing the content. These issues all belong to the quality of production, and the low score of 3.2 accurately reflects that reality.
Bang Ho Trong Sinh" is currently the Chinese film with the lowest score in 2026.
Ironically, the film is not hot, but it made the original "Sở Kiều truyện" broadcast 9 years ago unexpectedly attract attention again.
Meanwhile, "Nguyet Lan Y Ky" starring Cuc Tinh Y, Tang Thuan Hy, Tran Do Linh and Dien Gia Thuy also achieved not very positive scores on Douban. The film was rated 5.3 points with about 31,000 reviews.
Yue Lan Y Ky" initially "branded" as director Guo Jingming, heavily promoted with the slogan "full of Painted Skin + Son Hai Kinh worldview"... but immediately after airing, it caused controversy.
The film's flow is lengthy without focus, the dialogue is forced, full of beautiful but meaningless lines, criticized by the audience as empty. More fatal, due to being cut 11 episodes to pass censorship, the logic of the story is almost completely broken.
