Young actor scores points in ability to transform, sing and dance. Thu Thao changed flexibly when he transformed into Xuan Quynh. She shows the innocence and mischief of her character as a beautiful dancer, loved by many boys. The actor portrays the aging and fatigue of a woman who suffers from love through facial expressions and postures.
The 21-year-old actress is currently a Performing Arts student, University of Culture. Prior to that, Thu Thao went through many casting rounds to be selected for the role. In addition to practicing acting and choreography, the actor reads documents and learns about Xuan Quynh’s personality and personality to incarnate. “The female singer has the courage to think, dare to act, has aspirations, dreams. It was very easy for me to play the role when he was 18, but it was difficult to find a way to put emotion in and fully express the character at 40.”
Le Viet Anh scored a goal in his singing ability while playing Luu Quang Vu. The singer performed two of Luu Quang Vu’s popular poems – Blue sky eyes when Dang Duong first met and fell in love with Xuan Quynh and the song The house is close about the lives of two people when they get married. However, Le Viet Anh reveals weaknesses in several scenes that require the inner character of the character.

Quoc Viet plays Trong Khoa with good acting, but his voice still has a lot of flaws. In addition to the three main characters, this drama gathers nearly 30 artists, so the quality of acting, choreography, and singing is not uniform. Sometimes the actor loses his breath and loses his voice.
Tuan Luu Tuan Anh – son of Xuan Quynh and artist Luu Tuan – burst into tears when he saw the work. He said the team emotionally portrayed a story inspired by people, the lives of their mothers, biological fathers and stepfathers. He was impressed by the Khoa character of his father – the violinist Luu Tuan, whom everyone paid little attention to. “It’s natural for me to cry because this is a musical about my mother – the person I love the most in my life. The poems are set to very good music, modern, young, but retaining the old colors,” says Luu Tuan Anh.
