A scene from "My Family Suddenly Happy".

12 episodes aired,My family is suddenly happyMarking the return of the director duo Duc Hieu - Ngoc Linh, who were very successful with the film11 months 5 daysaired 2 years ago. Not only does it feature the return of the main actors Thanh Son - Kha Ngan, the film has a youthful color, the different styles of the two directors make the primetime airwaves fresh.

In addition to the humorous situations in the film related to everyday life,My family is suddenly happyattracts viewers with details related to family affection, solidarity and mutual support of brothers in a family, absolutely not attracting attention with fighting and rivalry.

However, the film also fiercely divided the audience regarding the character Ha played by Lan Phuong. From the beginning of the film, Ha almost took the spotlight in every situation thanks to her eloquence and childish personality. She participated in everything, sometimes behaving very unreasonably, making the audience angry, but it was Ha's straightforwardness and loveliness that made the audience forgive her easily. Ha was ready to cry loudly in front of her parents-in-law when she was scolded for arbitrarily renovating the room or to make a fuss with her husband when she did not get the desired room in the house. Ha was also heavily criticized by the audience for entering her brother-in-law's bridal chamber to get the heater and making a very tactless comment.

Lan Phuong once shared that if her character is not acted well, the audience will easily hate her. Ha is a new type of character on television and is also a difficult character to act, just a little bit off-track will make her look ridiculous and easily criticized. This is also the most controversial character since the time the show aired. The character Ha always makes the audience change their emotions because sometimes they hate her, sometimes they like her because of her rapidly changing way of speaking and behaving.

Lan Phuong as Ha - the most controversial character in the film.

However, it must be admitted that if it were not Lan Phuong, it would be difficult for any actress to play this role well because it requires the actor to be flexible in acting and have diverse acting styles. Lan Phuong said that Ha is a character she really likes because the actress can bring many of her own personality traits and daily actions into the role. She also learned from her daughter to build the role to bring out Ha's childlike qualities, so many details Lan Phuong acted were very adorable.

Responding to VietNamNet about the audience's criticism of her overacting, Lan Phuong said: "This is not the first time I've heard criticism from the audience, so I accept it very objectively. I shared with the director what everyone's perspective was and both of them supported my acting. They said to just act like that, with a strange character like this, it takes time to accept. I respect everyone's opinions but still act in my own way. However, every day Ha will be more lovable, revealing many good qualities so the audience will accept it more." Lan Phuong admitted that she could not imagine another way of acting that could still portray the character without being overacting.

Thanh Son and Kha Ngan play husband and wife.

Actor Thanh Son in a recent interview commented that Lan Phuong's role as Ha is entertaining and brings a unique color to the film. Thanh Son admitted that without Lan Phuong,My family is suddenly happyIt's hard to be 100% fun. And it is!

Besides Lan Phuong's role as Ha, the character that caused a lot of controversy was Cong, played by Quang Su. Cong is the eldest son in the family, quiet and dry. Unlike his two younger brothers who are very thoughtful and loving towards their women, Cong always shows coldness towards his wife. Cong is almost always grumpy towards Phuong. From the beginning of the film, Cong's only caring action towards his wife is when he untangles Phuong's hair before she goes to bed. It is Cong's dryness that makes Phuong - a hard-working and understanding woman - always suffer and swallow her pain.

The more the audience sympathizes with Phuong, the more frustrated they are with Cong. On movie forums, most people oppose toxic men like Cong and hope Phuong will leave her husband soon to get rid of her debt. In reality, husbands with personalities like Cong are not rare in real life.

Quang Su's role as Cong is currently the most hated character in the movie.

It can be said that Quang Su has been very successful in portraying the character Cong up to this point. The actor created a stuffy, uncomfortable atmosphere in the film thanks to his stern expression and his voice that always made the problem serious. Even actor Quang Su had to admit on his personal page that he was upset with the character Cong he played.

However, overall it can be said thatMy family is suddenly happyis an interesting film, exploiting and handling situations intelligently and constantly making the audience change their emotions thanks to the diversity of the characters' personalities. Above all, the film conveys a valuable message about mutual support in the family as well as how to resolve conflicts in the gentlest way.
