Why were Huyen Lizzie and Manh Truong rejected by the audience in 'Us of 8 Years Later'?
The audience did not deny the acting of Huyen Lizzie and Manh Truong but still "rejected" their appearance in the film.
The movieUs 8 years laterhas entered part 2 with content revolving around the lives of the main characters Duong (Huyen Lizzie) and Lam (Manh Truong) after 8 years of struggling in life.
In fact, when the film was first released, the audience was very excited about the appearance of Manh Truong and Huyen Lizzie even though they knew they would only appear in part 2 of the film.
However, when the couple actually "went on air", the public was not satisfied, even wanting to change roles even though Manh Truong and Huyen Lizzie were popular faces in the television series.

So what is the reason that the audience rejected Manh Truong and Huyen Lizzie even though they had been waiting for this couple to appear?
First of all, it cannot be denied that the couple Hoang Ha (young Duong) and Quoc Anh (young Lam) acted very well, winning the sympathy of the public. Although they are "newcomers" of VFC, it is clear that the roles that Hoang Ha and Quoc Anh played have shaped the character's personality and characteristics, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of the audience.
On forums related to the film, most viewers commented that the main actors in part 1 of the film acted quite well, giving them many emotions when watching. Changing actors was unnecessary because the time difference between the two parts of the film was only 8 years, so it was unreasonable for the characters to completely change their appearance. This change also greatly affected the appeal of the film.

Huyền Lizzie once shared that she herself felt pressured when "taking over" the female lead role while Hoàng Hà had acted so well in part 1. The actress said:"The film was successful in part 1, loved by the audience, the crew and actors were all very happy, I was very happy, because that was the premise for part 2 to be well received.
However, that was also the pressure when I took on the role of Duong 8 years later. I was under a lot of pressure. When I took on the role, I was under pressure, and when part 1 ended and part 2 was about to air, it was even more pressure."

However, besides the reason that Hoang Ha and Quoc Anh's performance is being well-reviewed and creating positive emotions for the audience, it must be admitted that the public is already "familiar" with Manh Truong and Huyen Lizzie.
The acting of Huyen Lizzie and Manh Truong has been shaped and is too familiar in the eyes of the public, making it easy for the audience to associate it with the characters they have played very successfully before. This familiarity somewhat affects the audience's feelings for the characters that the couple plays.
Huyen Lizzie herself has also tried to find a new role to change her image in the eyes of the audience. The character Duong inUs 8 years lateris a new image compared to the previous characters she portrayed. However, some audiences commented that, up to now, Huyen Lizzie's acting in the role of Duong has not yet transformed, has not surpassed the "shadow" of the role of Van Trang inLove the sunny days.
The actress once admitted: "This time playing the role of Anh Duong, not only was there the difficulty of the role with the personality that I was experiencing for the first time, but also because of the pressure of success in Thuong ngay nang ve. Van Trang of Thuong ngay nang ve was loved by the audience, received many compliments and helped my career to be better, so I felt a lot of pressure towards Anh Duong".

Manh Truong himself also commented that, for him, the role of Lam inUs 8 years lateris a challenge to "renew myself" after many years of working. He shared with the media:"For me, every role has its own challenges. The role of Lam seems easy, but I always set myself a challenge, which is how to transform and make it different from my previous roles. The film's development is still very long and I am still trying to complete this challenge, hoping to be recognized by the audience."
However, it seems that the efforts of Manh Truong and Huyen Lizzie have not yet satisfied the audience. They hope that in the next episodes of the film, the two actors can create new breakthroughs in acting.
