The movie "My Father, the One Who Stays" is exploring the love relationship between An (Ngoc Huyen) and two older brothers Viet (Thai Vu) and Nguyen (Tran Nghia).

Besides the young stars, Meritorious Artist Thai Son, who plays Binh's father, also received positive feedback from the audience.

In episode 2, Mr. Binh's biography made an impression. The film revealed Mr. Binh's past and his love affair with his late wife.

Before switching to selling rice, Mr. Binh used to be a cheo artist. He was fascinated by the appearance of his colleague who played the role of a fairy. Therefore, he practiced singing a lot to be able to act with that "fairy".

After many times acting with his lover, Mr. Binh and his co-star became husband and wife in real life. But when his daughter was only 3 years old, Mr. Binh's wife passed away, and he raised his daughter alone.

The love story of two Cheo artists in "My Father, the One Who Stays" once moved many viewers. The Vietnamese details with strong cultural identity also helped the film attract many viewers from the first episodes.

Although he gave up singing Cheo to make a living, Mr. Binh still has a great love for this art form. He still sings Cheo whenever he feels sad, teaches his children to sing Cheo, and plays traditional musical instruments.

Meritorious Artist Thai Son's sad and poignant cheo singing voice breathes life into the character Binh - a father who has gone through many events and losses in his life.

In his career as a Cheo actor, Thai Son has achieved many outstanding achievements. Besides, the actor also soon revealed his forte with comedy roles, having acted well with many artists such as: Xuan Hinh, Thanh Thanh Hien, Hong Van, Trung Ruoi...

“People's Artist Tu Long is my brother and teacher who plays an important role in my career. When I started taking the entrance exam to the Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema, my uncle, artist Xuan Theo (Military Cheo Theatre), introduced me to Tu Long and entrusted me with the role. After that, People's Artist Tu Long guided and taught me the skit "Stealing Fish" to help me pass the entrance exam to the University of Theatre and Cinema.

Since that day, I have been grateful to People's Artist Tu Long. Before entering university, I often went to the Army Cheo Theater to watch the performances and rehearse new plays. I loved and admired Tu Long's acting style. He could play many types of roles, and each role was 'very passionate and very enthusiastic'. Not only did he sing well and act well, he was also a very talented artist in many fields."

He was suggested by the audience many times to play the role of Bac Dau because of his ability to sing Cheo, dress up as a girl, and speak with a female voice.
