Quynh Kool captures the audience's emotions
Quynh Kool plays teacher Nguyet, who goes through many upheavals in her married life. Before that, she had a happy, fulfilling family with a successful husband and a well-behaved daughter. Tragedy struck when Tung (Nguyet's husband) had a lover, which was discovered by his mother and wife.
Not accepting her husband's betrayal, Nguyet decided to move out and rent a small apartment to live with her daughter. However, tragedy still did not spare Nguyet when her daughter had an accident and had to be hospitalized.
Quynh Kool's performance is revealed through scenes that require a clear change in psychology. In the scene where she catches her husband cheating, the actress born in 1995 truly portrays the pain and despair of a wife who has always loved and trusted her husband. Her bewildered eyes, trembling hands and feet, or the way Nguyet tries to stay calm and hold back her tears afterwards, move the audience.
On social media platforms, this scene recorded millions of views and many comments. Viewers praised Quynh Kool's natural and realistic acting as well as sympathized and pitied Nguyet's situation.
Quynh Kool has an impressive role in "Us 8 Years Later".
“I cried while watching. I felt sorry for Ms. Nguyet. Quynh Kool acted so well”; “When Nguyet said ‘Don’t touch me’, I got goosebumps. Only those in Nguyet’s situation could understand the pain of being betrayed by their husband”; “Quynh Kool was so absorbed in the character”; “The role of teacher Nguyet was made for Quynh Kool”… are comments from the audience.
In addition, some scenes such as Nguyet talking to her daughter about her parents not living together or meeting Tung to discuss the divorce were all convincingly performed by Quynh Kool. Through that, the character of teacher Nguyet appears as a strong, rational woman, not as weak as she appears.
Some of Quynh Kool's quotes in the film later went viral on social networks, such as: "People often say that women can forgive but cannot forget. But for me, it's different, not being able to forget means being unable to accept, unable to forgive"; "I can be weak, cowardly and foolish. But there are moral values that I cannot accept. I don't want to live with someone I no longer respect"; "Even if I make excuses for you a thousand times, when I go to bed and close my eyes, I still remember your betrayal of me. I know I can't forget"...
Quynh Kool has had a long journey with television dramas. After nearly a decade of pursuing acting, she has increasingly proven her abilities.
There was a time when Quynh Kool was so familiar on the small screen that the audience felt bored. However, from Happy Garage (2022), Don't Make Me Angry to Us of 8 Years Later, the actress really "transformed". She has escaped the label of "screen lady" to become an impressive actress of Northern television.
Huyen Lizzie's performance causes controversy
About a year ago, Huyen Lizzie was loved for her role as Van Trang in Thuong ngay nang ve and won the VTV Awards . However, her comeback this time was not smooth.
In the role of Duong, Huyen Lizzie is facing mixed reactions. In part one, this character was played by Hoang Ha, leaving a clear impression and being loved by the audience. However, in part two, viewers expressed disappointment with the female lead's acting and almost monotonous expressions.
In the first episodes, Huyen Lizzie was constantly compared to Hoang Ha. Some of Huyen Lizzie’s expressions such as sighing, puffing out her mouth, rolling her eyes, smirking… caused a negative impression. Some viewers even left comments asking the director to change the female lead.

In the latest episodes, Huyen Lizzie has overcome the above issues but not significantly. In scenes requiring psychological aspects, the 34-year-old actress still maintains the same expression and her lines lack emphasis.
In addition to Huyen Lizzie’s acting, the reason why Duong’s character is losing points is also due to the script’s many loopholes and the confusing character setup. For example, in episode 28, when her best friend is facing the pain of being betrayed by her husband, Duong “adds fuel to the fire” by revealing that Tung had betrayed Nguyet in the past. Duong’s actions shocked and saddened Nguyet, leading to her accident. After this scene, the audience criticized Duong for being heartless and thoughtless.
From comparing the couple Huyen Lizzie - Hoang Ha, viewers turned to commenting on the performance of Huyen Lizzie - Quynh Kool. Many opinions said that Quynh Kool is overshadowing Huyen Lizzie in part 2 of Us of 8 Years Later , especially after Nguyet's marriage incident. The audience focused on the couple Nguyet - Tung, instead of the main couple Duong - Lam.
