Episode 40 of "My father stays" brought many choking emotions when Mr. Binh - the devoted and silently sacrificed father suddenly fell seriously ill, causing the whole family to fall into crisis. However, the most notable detail is related to Nguyen's mother and children.
Accordingly, after a haunting nightmare, Lien (Thu Quynh) woke up and saw Nguyen by her side. That warm presence made her unable to contain her emotions. In tears, she admitted that the pain of the past was always haunted, but at the same time promised to strive to change, live more positively, for her son and for herself. Lien's promise is like a ray of light seeping through the gloomy picture of the episode, creating a balance between pain and hope.
In this detail, many viewers speculate that after a period of being passionate about and abandoning his children, Lien has changed and regretted it. Lien and Nguyen's mother-to-son relationship also improved. This will help him in the final episodes of the show.
However, others think that the development of Inter-provincial details is a bit forced and lacks tightness. Because from the beginning, Lien was a person of a miserable life, disregarding others and abandoning children. She has not fulfilled her responsibility as a mother.
Moreover, in this scene, Thu Quynh and Tran Nghia caused controversy for their acting. Both were criticized for having only one expression. Tran Nghia in the role of Nguyen always only has a sad and lifeless face, while Thu Quynh plays an emotional and awkward character...
"My father stays" in the final episodes is depicting family affection not bound by blood, but by the meaning of love and attachment. Viet's actions are a beautiful symbol of gratitude and sacrifice, raising the humane question: "What is a real father?". And besides that, another question is raised whether Lien really overcame the darkness in the past to truly become a better person?
Episode 40 "My father stays" aired at 8:00 p.m. on May 19 on VTV3.
