In episode 16 of the film "Heart Rescue Station" aired on April 15, People's Artist My Uyen, playing Mrs. Xinh, had a scene where she slapped Nghia (Quang Su). Mrs. Xinh's slap was so powerful that Nghia fell off his chair.
In the behind-the-scenes video posted by VTV Entertainment fanpage, the slap makes a rather loud "pop" sound. Thanks to this detail, the audience understands more about the tense scene between Mrs. Xinh and her daughter.
Even though she is his biological mother, Mrs. Xinh cannot accept Nghia's act of betrayal towards his daughter-in-law Ngan Ha (Hong Diem).
She also does not accept his extramarital relationship with An Nhien (Luong Thu Trang). Even though Nghia and An Nhien have a child together.
After finishing the scene, People's Artist My Uyen continued to cry because she could not get out of character. A crew member had to give her tissues to wipe her tears.

Previously, Quang Su revealed that the scene where he was slapped by People's Artist My Uyen was real. Because he had to serve many different camera angles, he had to receive 3-4 slaps from People's Artist My Uyen.
The actor commented that when watching this scene, the audience will be very happy.
As predicted by actor Quang Su, on VTV's entertainment fanpage, the video of Ms. Xinh slapping Nghia attracted more than one million views.
Under the video, the audience left many comments "In real life, having a mother-in-law like this would be wonderful", "in the movie, how many slaps did Nghia get?", "how could you come up with such a good movie script", "great mother", "the slap sounds so good"...
Most of the audience gave many compliments to the performance of People's Artist My Uyen.
As the female Director of the 5B Small Stage Theater shared before, even though she is only a supporting actress, she always knows how to bring a unique and impressive color to the role.
People's Artist My Uyen discussed a lot with the director about the role of Mrs. Xinh to create a stronger impression when on film.
Currently, the movie "Heart Rescue Station" is at its climax with dramatic details. In addition to Mrs. Xinh loving Ngan Ha like her own child and trying to prevent her son from taking revenge, the movie also adds a detail where Mrs. Xinh refuses to accept the mistress as her daughter-in-law.
Nghia hugs An Nhien to sleep but still mistakes her for his ex-wife Ngan Ha. Even though they have broken up, Nghia still tries to ruin Ngan Ha's relationship with her new lover Vu. Ngan Ha coldly decides to take revenge on her ex-husband...
Although "Heart Rescue Station" is introduced as a healing film, the content is quite dramatic and brings many emotions of joy, anger, love, and hate to the viewers.
The film continues to receive attention from audiences over time.
