"I've faced the most horrible things on social media"
Son Ca in "Happy Garage" or Hanh in "Don't Make Mom Angry" are characters who rose from hardship and poverty. Quynh KoolWhen you play this type of role, you more or less touch the audience's emotions. Perhaps, you also have your own hidden corners and inhibitions, so you can easily sympathize with fates and sadness?
- Acting is my profession and my passion. I love acting and come to it with all my heart. Therefore, I always want to try my hand at many different types of roles.
I am someone who has experienced many things in life, but that is only a part. To transform into a character, I think every actor must always research and observe from the people around them, from real life stories.
Nhu Hanh is a single mother, when I accepted this role, I also searched online for movies about motherhood to watch. I asked my friends and sisters around me how they were usually when they were mothers? How did they yell or get angry with their children? Turn their things into my own.
Moreover, I think, I always have an instinct and talent for art, so I have a certain sensitivity to each character.
Since your debut on the screen, your acting has been criticized many times for being bland and monotonous, and many people even compare Quynh Kool to a mobile flower vase in movies. How do you feel about those opinions about yourself?
- That's because I haven't had the opportunity to play roles with different colors and qualities.
Son Ca and Hanh are roles that are very different from the ones I have played before. When the opportunity came, I felt I took advantage of it by trying to show my acting ability, so that the audience could recognize and laugh and cry with my character.
During my 10-year journey as an actor, I have faced the most terrible things on social networks: I have been cursed, hated, and even maliciously criticized...
But when I read or faced all of those things, I just smiled and let it go, not caring, not commenting or explaining. I am an introvert and closed person, never expressing my feelings to the outside world.
Until now, I think, I am an actor who has grown up in the denial of many people.
And the biggest success for me today is the recognition from the audience. That is the motivation for me to constantly strive on the path of a professional actor.

Quynh Kool shares stories about her personal life and career. |
And the rumor is that for young actors… to become famous and act in VFC films, they have to make trade-offs, even pay to buy roles?
- With VFC, actors never have to trade or pay money to buy roles. All actors have to prove their own abilities.
I acted in VFC's movies from the background of supporting roles with only a few lines, not even a name.
The other day, I sat down and counted and realized that it took me 7-8 years to get my first leading role.
I have worked hard every day to get the results I have today. So I can confirm one thing, there is no such case as rumored.
You have played many roles, from a spoiled young lady to a strong-willed or gentle and ascetic girl. In the future, do you hope to play a completely different role, such as a villain or a person with multiple personalities?
- Honestly, until now, I still can't escape the role of Hanh in the movie.Don't make mom angryI love this character so much.
So in the future, I hope to have another role like that but more edgy, more emotional and with more room to act.
Through 3 love affairs… And loved like dying and coming back to life
You once shared that you wanted to be a wife and a mother. Have you set that goal for yourself?
- For women, motherhood is a very sacred duty.
When I was 18, I dreamed of playing a single mother on screen, and now I have achieved it. I am also a big fan of romance novels, so I always dreamed of having a handsome man come to me.
So, when I got to play the role of a mother in a movie, having such a lovely daughter, the thought suddenly arose in my heart: Why do I want to get married? Why do I want to have children!
I set a goal to get married and have children before I turned 30. But now, at 28, I'm still single (laughs).

Because you haven't found the right person or your standards are too high?
- If I set my standards too high, I'll probably be single (laughs).
Before, I always set my ideal lover as this or that, but in the end, all the people I loved were not like the models I had thought of. So now, in love, I let everything depend on fate.
I have many opportunities to meet good people, but just being good is not enough, I think they have to be compatible with me in many ways.
Someone who can adapt to my habits and bad habits, support each other and feel that being together makes both of us better and happier, that's the person I want to be with.
Currently, I still put my career first, earn money to help my family and focus on improving my acting to have good roles.
Can you share your past relationships? After ending a relationship, what did you realize and learn?
- From the time I knew love until now, I have had 3 love affairs.
But I don't know why, every time we break up, all my exes get married and have kids, but I'm still alone (laughs).

Quynh Kool: "After all, the biggest thing I learned is gratitude." |
Before, I was childish, spoiled and loved in a very instinctive way. I always told my lover that he had to be this way, that way, that he had to know my wishes. So maybe, I didn't understand and share with my man.
So those relationships all ended in a way that… made me miserable. I used to love and feel like I was “dying and coming back to life” and thought: “If I don’t have that person, I won’t be able to live”. For a while, I was almost stressed and pressured.
Looking back now, I understand that part of it was because I didn't know how to love... and after all, the biggest thing I learned was gratitude.
I am grateful for everything around me, even the pain that helped me grow up to be who I am today. Knowing how to listen and share to find a common voice instead of always putting my ego too high.
"I am an introvert and a closed person"
Do you think you will marry someone in showbiz?
- My point of view is that I don't like to marry someone in the same profession. For me, one artist is enough.
I always thought that when I got married, I would stay at home as a housewife, take care of the family, maybe only make one film a year and I would choose good roles to play.
There is a saying that: "In love, I have two principles: He does not necessarily have to support me, but must have the ability to support me."
Now, in love, what kind of person do you think you are?
- I don't have a boyfriend right now. But if I did, I think I would be more mature in love.
I am willing to share more with the other person, understand and sympathize with each other, not childish like before.
Everyone sees VFC actors as very glamorous and glamorous with always beautiful faces, carefully made-up, and designer clothes. But behind that, young actors like Quynh Kool must face difficulties to nurture their passion?
- What we show on the outside is our public image, I think it's also a way to respect our audience and the people around us.

I am happy that I am gradually asserting my ability in my acting career. I am happy to do the job I love and to make a living from acting. I am not rich but I can still take care of my family and myself without having to rely on anyone.
Many viewers are also curious about your daily life?
- Now, I am an introvert and quite closed.
Every morning, after waking up, I really like to exercise and then go to the terrace to take care of the plants, look at the flowers, drink tea, listen to instrumental music and read books.
I will choose books with the most positive energy to read in the morning.
