'Unique', 'Pu and Chai' save Vietnamese prime time movies?

In 2024, "The Path" and "Going in the Roaring Sky" are two films that attract audiences and attract attention on social networks.

Last year, Vietnamese TV drama scripts were quite diverse, although family and love content still dominated. Besides works that attracted attention such as Unique , Walking in the bright sky , Us 8 years later, Other films have not left their mark.

In addition, the problem of lengthy, unconvincing scripts still exists. Many films have encountered controversy and received mixed opinions when they were aired.

"The Unique Way", "Walking in the Bright Sky" Creates Attraction

Dozens of TV series have aired in 2024 such as Meet you on a sunny day , Us 8 years later , Unique , Cheer up guys ! Family Heart Rescue Station , Venus shoots Mars in the heart , Roads near and far , We love each other peacefully , Walking in the bright sky , How much is youth ...

It is obvious that the family theme still dominates, but has been interwoven with other themes such as criminal police and young people starting a business. This year's highlights include: Doc Dao , a work of the criminal police brand that has recently caused a stir on the small screen.

Spanning nearly 40 episodes, The only way attracts the audience by the tense battle of wits with a group of characters such as Hong (Doan Quoc Dam), Quan Gia (Vinh Xuong), Le Toan (NSUT Hoang Hai), Khuong "lieu" (Duy Hung), Dung "kinh" (Manh Cuong)... Besides the content about crime prevention in the wild, The only way It is also a story worth pondering about family. The acting of the talented cast, including the male lead Doan Quoc Dam, scored points with the audience. Although the film still has some regrettable "flaws", the hasty ending is not enough to satisfy the audience.

Cannot help but mention Walking in the bright sky - The work once covered social networks during its broadcast by the "chick" couple Pu (Thu Ha Ceri) and Chai (Long Vu). Many lines and scenes were widely shared, attracting tens of thousands of comments. Chai's infatuation delighted the audience.

Initial, Walking in the bright sky had a very smooth start, but since moving the setting to the city, the film has plummeted, continuously receiving negative reactions from the audience. Therefore, although it is considered a "phenomenon" of the 2024 TV series, Walking in the bright sky The ending is rushed and disappointing.

Same situation with Walking in the bright sky To be Us 8 years later . Starting from youth, the film captured the audience's hearts through the sweet love story of the main characters. Especially the good acting between Hoang Ha and Quoc Anh. However, the change of cast in the second half, the content turned tragic, making Us 8 years later exhausted, viewers turned away.

Another work that has received a lot of attention and discussion in the past year is Heart Rescue Station starring Hong Diem, Quang Su, Thu Trang. But unfortunately, the effect is negative because the film is filled with tragedy, causing frustration. Throughout about 50 episodes, the audience wonders when the heart will be rescued and healed as the title suggests when they only see drama between the characters.

TV series are cooling down

With the remaining movies being Meet you on a sunny day , Ambition for wealth , Venus shoots Mars in the heart , Cheer up guys ! People in one family ..., some works have stable script and acting quality, others are not impressive.

On air during Lunar New Year, Meet me on a sunny day attracts audiences with its love story, mixed with a warm message about family. With only 16 episodes, the film ends with a predictable ending that makes viewers regretful. About The Ambition to Be Rich , a work revolving around the problems that a multi-generational family faces, scores points thanks to its script and acting.

Family and Cheer up guys Although there are differences in theme and color, both films are safe and somewhat well received by the audience. In the movie "The One Family" , Duy Hung impressed viewers by portraying the older brother who suffered hardships so that his younger brother could be warm, well-off, and happy. With Meritorious Artist Thai Son, he made viewers laugh with his naive and innocent acting in "The One Family". Cheer up guys

If compared to the previous period, it is not difficult to see that Vietnamese television dramas in general, and VTV primetime dramas in particular, are clearly cooling down. A year ago, Life is still beautiful , My family suddenly happy , Don't make mom angry good Black medicine was well received by the audience. Expanding to 2021 are a series of works such as Taste of Love, May 11, Sunflower Against the Sun, Apple Tree in Bloom , Love the tilapia.

The rise and fall of the small screen may be due to the flood of works on family themes, which are outdated in their exploitation. Some films choose to cause controversy with adultery and "mistress" characters but get the opposite results. This is shown through Love before marriage , Heart Rescue Station , Us 8 years later . Many viewers have complained that every time they watch a movie, they see a third person scene, jealousy, causing boredom.

Most movies have a common problem with the script: it drags on in the middle but ends quickly. Speeding up the movie and cutting the details makes the story and characters unconvincing. In fact, real, relatable details and characters or impressive dialogue are the formula to create a buzz.

On the small screen, diverse topics are not enough. It's time for Vietnamese films to have works with more attractive, new, creative scripts and most importantly, not following the same path.
