Audience is fed up: 'My family suddenly became happy' and is becoming less and less happy

"My Family Suddenly Happy" is a movie that has a large audience on prime time television today. However, recent episodes of the movie have featured many controversial details for the audience.

Specifically, in episode 30 of the film, Mrs. Cuc (NSND Lan Huong) was approached by Hoang - her son's friend - who revealed that Thanh (Doan Quoc Dam) was in debt of more than 1 billion VND due to illegal business. Hoang also said that Danh was very proud and afraid of his wife, so he did not want his family to know about the matter. He urged Mrs. Cuc to collect money to pay off her son's debt.

Under pressure from Hoang, Mrs. Cuc rushed home to get 30 million VND to give to her son's friend. But Hoang continued to ask her for more money. During the next money transfer, Mrs. Cuc's 3 sons appeared to expose Hoang's scam.

This is a plot that many viewers consider absurd because:"Is there any mother who trusts people like Mrs. Cuc? Why didn't she ask her child before giving a lot of money to a stranger?", "That's absurd! The child lives in the same house but without asking or discussing, she secretly gave money to the child's friend", "This story probably only happens in movies, the trick is sophisticated but the character Mrs. Cuc didn't ask her husband before giving money, that's absurd",

"Mrs. Cuc has lived in the city for a long time, and is very sharp and knowledgeable, teaching her daughter-in-law morals, but she is so gullible", "Is Mrs. Cuc that easy to be fooled? She always understands her children, but she throws money away unreasonably like throwing paper into the trash, even though she has never seen her son being threatened"...

However, some other viewers think that this detail is a warning and therefore acceptable:"High-tech scams are not rare now, the movie deals with reality very closely", "In real life, people also scam mothers, playing on their worries and love for their children, there's nothing illogical about it", "This detail is just a warning to let people know about this scam, I think it's reasonable to include it"...

In addition to the controversial plot, some viewers were bored because the film's ending added more and more redundant plot details that were unrelated to the plot.

The story of Mr. Toai and his wife receiving 2 billion VND in inheritance from selling land in their hometown was resolved superficially and was considered by many to be "disrespectful to the audience". Because initially, the film set the figure of 2 billion VND, this is a large amount of money, so there is a reason for the remaining 3 couples to fight over it, thereby revealing the thoughts of the daughters-in-law.

The fight lasted for several episodes, but in the end, each small family was only given 50 million VND because Mr. Toai and his wife had spent more than 1 billion VND to build a communal house in the countryside. The scriptwriter's handling of this situation was criticized as "inexperienced", "all over the place" because the plot was too cumbersome while the solution was extremely "childish".

Before that, the story of Thanh (Doan Quoc Dam) losing his wedding ring also lasted for several episodes. Even just because he was afraid of being suspected by his wife, Thanh dragged both brothers into extremely unreasonable troubles, causing the whole family to be in turmoil.

Even the character Ha (Lan Phuong) is said to have built her character too extreme. Anything makes her roll her eyes, scream, and try to gain benefits and the right for herself. To the point that Ha can even "check" the font engraved on the wedding ring is Arial or Times New Roman to nitpick when her husband brings out another wedding ring.

The closer to the end of the movieMy family is suddenly happysuddenlyThe more the weaknesses in the script were exposed, the more the audience booed because of the "big head, mouse tail". However, in early June 2023, the producer announced to increase the number of episodes of the film from 26 to 40.

This made many viewers feel dissatisfied. On social networks, there were many comments expressing the public's displeasure with the film's content:

"The movie should have ended with the scene where Phuong was pregnant", "Danh and Tram Anh are about to face another storm, we already know the outcome before watching", "The closer to the end, the blander it gets, the more complicated and redundant the plot is", "Why does the TV station keep trying to prolong the movie, from the detail of inheriting billions until now it just feels bland and forced", "What's the point of prolonging the movie when the content has nothing interesting", "The longer it lasts, the more bland and absurd it seems, it really only happens in movies"...
