According to Sina, the historical drama "Tieu Dao" directed by Tu Ky Chau officially premieres for audiences. Trieu Le Dinh appears in the film as a guest. She plays Toai Mong Tien Quan, a person who suffers revenge for love.
Trieu Le Dinh's image is considered outdated, full of fairy charm, with unusual beauty, making her a special highlight even though she only appeared briefly. This is also a rare time for the actress to try her hand at villain roles on the small screen.
Despite being a guest, Zhao Liying is still considered the last trump card of "Tieu Dao". Themes about her and the character Toai Mong Tien Quan quickly attracted more than 70 million views on Weibo, while the role introduction video on Douyin received more than 600,000 likes in less than a day.
Sina believes that Zhao Liying is a star with the highest attraction in the Chinese entertainment industry, each of her activities creates great attention. Many viewers admit that they initially did not intend to watch "The Legend of Zhao", but because of Zhao Liying's appearance, they decided to watch the movie. Thanks to her previous successful roles, she has built a large fan base, creating a strong media effect for every project she participates in.
2025 is considered a year of many upheavals for Trieu Le Dinh, when both the film and television projects she participated in did not achieve the expected results. The movie "Sunflower" released in April grossed 200 million RMB (about 700 billion VND) but faced many criticisms from audiences.
Viewers believe that the film has empty, lengthy, illogical, and difficult to create empathy. Trieu Le Dinh's acting is assessed as rigid, unnatural, trying to use local accents but not convincing, sometimes even considered excessively exaggerated.
Some opinions believe that the 8x actress often chooses roles with tragic fates, exploiting the pain of female characters to create highlights and attract awards.
Not only cinema, the short film "On the Human Stage" broadcast at the end of May also received many criticisms for its bland script and backward acting. The film scored Douban 6.7 with more than 50,000 reviews, while the average viewership was only 8.86 million/episode.
