Contrasting Families: New prime-time drama on VTV3 airing from December 1st.
The film, featuring veteran actors Hoang Hai and Kieu Anh, revolves around the events of a modern-day family, promising a relatable and profound story.
The television drama "Family of Opposite Signs," directed by Meritorious Artist Vu Truong Khoa, will officially air during prime time on VTV3, at 8 PM every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, starting December 1, 2025. The series will follow the recently concluded drama "Wind Across the Blue Sky."
Family background and unexpected events
"The Contrasting Family" explores the story of Mr. Phi, a district-level department head who faces a major upheaval when he loses his job and retires early following a merger and downsizing of the workforce. To avoid causing worry to his wife and children and to save face with his relatives, Mr. Phi decides to conceal the truth.
However, a series of problems arose. The relationship between him and his eldest son, Duc, became increasingly strained as he opposed his son's marriage. At the same time, his wife, Anh, struggled with unrecoverable investments and bank debts. Financial pressure from his family back home also weighed heavily on him. The crisis reached its peak with the appearance of Nhi, who was believed to be Phi's illegitimate child, shaking the foundations of trust and family happiness.
A journey of healing and understanding
The story of Mr. Phi's family is a journey of understanding and sharing with each other, overcoming invisible barriers. The events not only put Mr. Phi in a difficult position but also gave him the opportunity to realize the true value of family. He gradually learned to accept his children's individual paths, thereby resolving long-standing conflicts.
The film conveys the message that the role of the breadwinner is not only about bearing the economic burden, but also about being a source of emotional support and connecting family members. After overcoming difficulties, what Mr. Phi receives in return is not only stability but also sharing and a renewed emotional bond between generations.
The cast combines experience and youthful energy.
"The Opposite Family" brings together a cast of veteran actors and promising young talents. Meritorious Artist Hoang Hai plays Mr. Phi, a responsible but somewhat overbearing father. Meritorious Artist Kieu Anh portrays Mrs. Anh, a carefree wife in her 50s.
In addition, the film features young actors such as Thua Tuan Anh (as Duc) and Quynh Trang (as Duong), along with other artists such as Thai Vu, Thuy Duong, People's Artist Quoc Tri, Viet Bac, and child actress An Nhien.
The film will be broadcast at 8 PM every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday on VTV3, starting from December 1, 2025.
