The untold story of the most attractive female police lieutenant on Vietnamese screens

Cao Thai Ha in the role of police lieutenant Ha Lam.

Dubbing for Ha Lam is mandatory but not good.

- What feedback did Cao Thai Ha receive about the role of Lieutenant Ha Lam in 'Storm'?

When the first episode of the show aired, Ha looked forward to the audience's feedback and read everyone's comments. Most people praised Ha for her performance.police role"cool" and beautiful so it's fun. However, Ha also received a lot of comments about the dubbing issue. People like to let Ha's real voice sound more emotional. The movie has just started so hopefully when watching the next episodes with exciting and suspenseful developments, the audience will welcome Ha Lam like Ha's previous roles that everyone loved.

- Lieutenant Lam is considered to be very beautiful, but many Northern moviegoers were quite annoyed when her character was dubbed, making her role stiff and her dialogue somewhat fake. Are you satisfied when the image is yours but the voice is someone else's?

This film took nearly 2 years to film, and Ha devoted almost all her energy and love to the character. However, from filming to the completion of the film for broadcast, there are still many factors.

Dubbing for Ha Lam was a requirement from the film crew. Ha herself could not do otherwise, but she still hoped that the film's interesting plot would satisfy and sympathize with the audience.

- What was the most difficult part for you when playing this role? The image of a strong, beautiful, and talented lieutenant seems very different from your previous roles and also the most challenging?

The biggest difficulty is probably that Ha has never filmed a project that is as long-term and has such a special setting. More than a year and a half away from home, with the film crew present in all the Northern and Northwestern provinces, Ha also had a period of severe stress. Although she had prepared herself mentally, experiencing the harsh weather sometimes made Ha's health unbearable. But no matter how difficult it was, Ha was very happy with the journey to experience the character of Lieutenant Ha Lam.

Exhausted from martial arts training, training ground, shooting, and rope swinging scenes

- The film started filming a long time ago but has just aired. Do you still remember the difficulties during filming? Which scene do you remember the most, fainting, stress or injury?

The scene at the police academy under the hot sun exhausted Ha because of the martial arts training, training ground, shooting, rope swinging scenes... The character introduction was short but Ha had to film for almost a day and there were times when her health could not take it, Ha had to ask for some time to recover before continuing filming.

Cao Thai Ha studies the script.

- 'Bao dam' has just been aired but has received mixed reactions. Some commented that the film is too violent compared to prime time TV dramas, others commented that the Southern cast's performance is different from the veteran Northern cast's performance. Do you agree with these comments?

Ha always respects the audience's feedback, whether positive or negative. The content of the film was censored by VTV before being broadcast, so Ha thinks everything has its reasons. Maybe those realistic scenes can truly depict the heartbreaking reality of the underground world that not everyone knows.

- In the film, you co-starred with Ha Viet Dung. The audience is interested in how the two characters' relationship will develop later on. Are there any scenes that make it difficult for both of you?

Ha and Mr. Ha Viet Dung have worked together inThe Devil's MoneySo this reunion is not too difficult. Ha cannot reveal the current plot of the film.

Want to keep love to yourself

- A beautiful and famous person like you certainly has no shortage of men pursuing you, but why is Cao Thai Ha still single? Is it because you're too picky or hasn't anyone met your criteria yet?

Ha rarely shares about her love life because she only wants to send her artistic products to the audience. Currently, Ha's personal life is stable and she wants to keep her love life private.

- As the CEO of a company, constantly having new projects, how do you arrange time for yourself and your personal life?

Recently, Ha has been building a business to prepare for a more distant future. As for art, Ha is still very passionate but there is not enough time to do both well, so Ha only really accepts a project that Ha really loves. Ha thinks that is also good. In the near future, Ha will have few projects but they will be really special roles.

- You once shared that you lost your way because of emotional losses in your personal life, causing you to stop acting for 6 months. Is it possible that the emotional shock was so great that you were afraid of love?

There are times in life when we lose our way and cannot regain our balance. But life will teach us many valuable lessons during that period of disorientation. And no matter what, it is a part of life that we have to go through. The important thing is that after that time, we must realize the value and meaning of those ups and downs.
