"Quoc sac phuong hoa" received positive feedback from the audience. Among them, Duong Tu's role as Ha Duy Phuong is considered a big plus.
Many viewers commented that the way the female lead was portrayed in the movie "Quoc sac phuong hoa" created a difference and uniqueness for the movie.
Usually with other female lead roles, the image of female characters is often associated with a feminine image, even somewhat weak, always needing the protection of male characters.
However, in the role that Duong Tu played in "Quoc sac phuong hoa", the female lead escaped from danger on her own. This highlights the female lead's maturity and builds an image of independence, self-reliance, and not being constrained or dependent on anyone.
The audience praised the screenwriter for creating the character Ha Duy Phuong in "Quoc Sac Phuong Hoa" with details such as Ha Duy Phuong saving himself and creating good relationships with other girls. The male lead from beginning to end respected the female lead, without discrimination or contempt.
Initially, many viewers thought that the film would follow the motif of the male lead appearing to save the female lead in dangerous scenes, but the result was completely opposite.
This was also the initial intention of the film crew. They wanted to make a project in which the female lead would be portrayed as a girl who constantly strives to improve herself in life. She did not suffer oppression in the feudal system, but only had a place for men, women were looked down upon and not respected.
From these stories, the film crew wants to send a message that in the old society there are still strong women who are not bound by outdated customs and rituals.
