Thai Hoa and Le Phuong act as husband and wife for the first time after 10 years

Thai Hoa and the fear of 'good actors'

After the success of many film projects, actor Thai Hoa returns to the small screen with the TV series 'The Lowlife War'. He plays the role of Sang, a car mechanic and the breadwinner of the family. The character appears to be gruff and foolish on the outside but is kind and has many secrets on the inside.

Sharing the reason for participating in TV series, Thai Hoa said he likes the time to live longer in the story and character. Although recognized as one of the leading actors, he modestly expressed: "I am still discovering more about acting. This profession is happiest when I understand more about my skills and myself through each role." He also admitted that he is afraid of being praised as a good actor.

Le Phuong and her transformation with a unique role

Meanwhile, actress Le Phuong expressed her excitement about the role that is considered the most unique in her career. In contrast to the usual gentle and resigned characters, this role marks a 180-degree change in personality. Le Phuong's husband, Trung Kien, also expressed his surprise when his wife was invited to play such a unique role.

The combination on set after a decade

'The Lowlife War' marks the reunion of Thai Hoa and Le Phuong after 10 years since the film 'Silk Eyes' (2015). This is also the first time the two play a married couple on screen.

Le Phuong said she learned a lot from Thai Hoa's professional attitude. However, she also revealed that her co-star often had the habit of changing lines or details between scenes, requiring her to always be ready to improvise. For his part, Thai Hoa explained that he did this to avoid repeating his acting style. He also appreciated Le Phuong's professionalism and dedication in perfecting her role.

'The War of the Lowlifes': Inspired by the work 'The Beggar'

The film tells the story of a poor family of three generations living in the city, facing the risk of losing their only place to live. From here, conflicts and family secrets are gradually revealed through tragicomic situations. The film's script was inspired by the literary work 'The Beggar' by writer Kim Lan.

The 12-episode series is directed by Mr. To. In addition to Thai Hoa and Le Phuong, the series also features actors such as People's Artist Thanh Nam, Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong, Tieu Bao Quoc, Trinh Thao, Tran Nham and Ngoc Trai. 'The Low-Rise War' will air at 8 p.m. every Thursday and Friday on VieON, starting from October 23.
