Actress Luong Thu Trang "escaped" the "aggressive" Minh in "Sunflower Against the Sun", she transformed into the role of Hoa - a female detective story writer full of emotions but also not lacking in toughness and reason when facing family events.

Sharing about her new role in "Mirror Mask", actress Luong Thu Trang said that this is a detective film, not emotional, so her acting is no longer about shedding tears but all skepticism. Finding a way to solve the case requires intelligence and special thinking of the character. This script deeply explores the character's psychology. Luong Thu Trang hopes that the audience will look forward to the film and support her new role.

Actress Ngoc Lan has played many different types of roles, from positive to negative, but when she took on the role of Diem, Ngoc Lan had to spend a lot of time studying the script because this is a role with a very diverse psychological background, with quite unexpected twists. She invested her time and effort to fully perform the role that she is very passionate about.

Actress Ngoc Lan said: "I transformed into a character older than me in personality. Regarding the costumes, I redesigned the colors because I was afraid that too many colors would make the character look young, so before filming, I had to discuss carefully with the costume team and the director so that the audience would see the character as old but still show off its sexiness."

Actress Ngoc Quynh continues to demonstrate her inner strength when taking on the role of Khoi, a multi-faceted character, hiding many secrets and inhibitions. Bao Anh is familiar to the audience with the image of a criminal police officer, but this is what made him have to research and change to make the role of Tung more vivid, on the one hand, he is a resolute, decisive, brave investigation team leader, but on the other hand, he is a warm, caring man who is devoted to the person he loves.

Sharing about the film, director Bui Quoc Viet said: "In order to be able to film for a long time, we had to meet with the film crew and consult with the police to coordinate and arrange the time and scene groups appropriately to work most effectively. My criteria for the cast is the suitability for the role. I think that right from the first episodes, the audience will see the attraction, mystery and curiosity."

DOP Trung Kien shared: "The development of the case was shown on television throughout 6 episodes, we tried to create appeal so that when talking about that case, the audience watching the film would not feel bored. In terms of images, the crime film genre is different from psychological love films, requiring the depiction of hidden corners and new camera angles to attract viewers."
