Zhao Liying's performance in the film is not bad, she is still considered one of the female stars of the 8X generation with real talent and is not afraid to choose difficult roles. However, in the film "Hoa Duong Duong", Zhao Liying was criticized by the audience for deliberately speaking the local language of Hunan.
The audience was upset when Zhao Liying's voice was harsh and exaggerated. This made the character she played lose her authenticity.
In some places, Zhao Liying's acting lacks concentration, especially in the scenes of digging land and interacting with farmers.
Many viewers also believe that Trieu Le Dinh is a real star, choosing a difficult script that is picky about viewers like the movie "Hoa Chien Duong" is a bold decision. However, perhaps this time Trieu Le Dinh is a bit hasty, she has not prepared too carefully. Her role this time in "Hoa Duong Duong" is rated lower than her role in "The 20th Article" or "The Confessions of Kieu Nghieng".
