The truth about "Pretty Sister Riding the Wind" being "out of favor"...

The Beautiful Sister Who Rides the Wind received some criticism for being unattractive. Mainly because it was compared to other very successful shows like Brother Who Overcame a Thousand Congestions. Even the Halfway Brother was criticized for being bland... The Beautiful Sister season 2 of course could not maintain the same novelty as season 1.

Pretty Sister Season 2 The team is more youthful, with equal abilities and energy. The previous beauties were more reserved, only Trang Phap dared to pole dance. Now the beauties can dance with fire, net, bamboo circus, flying trapeze… there is nothing they cannot do. There are also many more beauties who are capable of composing and producing music.

Beautiful sister's tears

The show added two more beautiful sisters to season 1 My Linh and Thu Phuong coming in to lead their juniors may or may not add more excitement to the show, but it is a way to make a difference. The competition between the two "bosses" is strangely not very balanced. Because My Linh almost always wins, especially in the lucky competitions. In the most recent episode, in the competition called "spinning flowers", when My Linh said "shut up", the flower stopped. As a result, the camera hidden in the flower was pointed at Linh - meaning she had the right to choose.

In spite of Thu Phuong often wear black and accept bad luck, but in return there are extremely loyal juniors like Pham Quynh Anh, always refusing to confront their seniors. Then the two hugged each other, tears falling again. Although a bit cheesy, it was no less emotional.

Some people think that because season 1 had some kind of discord between some of the beauties that caused bad publicity, season 2, the organizers insisted from the beginning that the beauties must be friendly and sociable. But then another stream of comments arose saying that this season was bland because of that. In any case, we should respect the emotions and performances of the contestants, regardless of the effect. That is what reality TV is all about.

Whether the sisters were oriented by the program or not, the sweat and tears they shed were real. Bui Lan Huong was initially commented to be somewhat cold and quiet (and was almost eliminated), but by episode 11, she cried like rain when she had to say goodbye to 3 sisters on the same team at once. She made the decision to give up her spot to her teammates but was not accepted. Those who had to leave hardly cried, and had to try their best to comfort those who stayed. Maitinhvi only started to cry when Thu Phuong hugged her and "lulled" her with a song.

It seems that after the emotional shock of helplessness when seeing her teammates leave, Bui Lan Huong's creativity was also activated. Not only was she more open and closer to her sisters, Huong also had an excellent performance in the performance "Tử biến nhe nhe thoi". She composed Ho Xuan Huong's poem in a folk style and sang it herself, receiving high praise from My Linh. If the organizers had accepted Huong's return from the previous episode, there would not have been this performance.

On Kieu Anh's team, Phuong Thanh also had the opportunity to sing Cai Luong and express her heartfelt words, which raised the national spirit in the studio. So after Anh Trai, it was Chi Dep's turn to apply national elements quite skillfully into seemingly unrelated pop songs, creating an interesting effect. However, it is very possible that if national elements were incorporated into songs with content that aimed at broader emotions, such as praising the homeland or family affection, for example, they would spread more strongly.

Headache because of the law

Just like Anh Trai, there is always an episode with a performance, an episode just to carry out the procedures for selecting members, choosing songs, the order of the performance, etc., but Chi Dep season 2 has a much more "evolved" procedure than season 1. To understand the ins and outs of these unpredictable rules, the audience not only has to watch all the episodes but also has to follow each episode closely. Even the people involved have to frown because the rules are too complicated and unpredictable. For example: "The season 1 Chi Dep whose performance score is greater than the average score of the 5 performances in performance 3 will receive 1 wind-riding flower", or: "According to the rules of performance 4, the team whose total performance score surpasses the milestone of Chi Dep season 1 in the same race means that the challenge of the race is successful. The whole team is safe". It's so annoying.

Reality, Beautiful sister riding the wind is still followed by many viewers, leading to spectacular achievements such as Top 1 in the highest viewership ratings of VTV from episodes 1 to 12 (except episode 8 broadcast at a different time), which is not inferior to Anh trai, if not better. According to the Organizing Committee, the albums released 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 all topped iTunes. The songs Van may, Cau duyen, Toi khong no van tinh ca, Tu xu nhe nhoi... also achieved similar achievements.

But the strange rules of the game have the effect of making the beauties reveal their tricks to create excitement for the program. For example, Duong Hoang Yen (listening to MisThy's whisper) pretended not to accept the invitation to join Toc Tien's team even though she really wanted to. Because the rules allow the opposing team to steal members. Kieu Anh was about to run to hug Yen because she thought Yen would come back to her but suddenly stopped, thanks to strategist Xuan Nghi's timely intervention... Surely after the headache, the beauties will feel interested and excited with the challenging rules of the game. Only some viewers may be impatient and discouraged.

Hau Hoang generally maintained a relaxed attitude after being eliminated. As she confided, knowing her own abilities were limited, she had to say goodbye to her dream of becoming a singer, but suddenly she was invited to play by Beautiful Sister. Her childhood dream came true. Thanks to the program, Xuan Nghi also broke away from her child singer image. However, she showed that she did not waste her time by practicing a series of abilities, turning herself into a rare commodity on the program.

The program’s invitation to individuals with outstanding achievements in other fields is also an interesting way to honor them. For example, if it weren’t for “Beautiful Sister,” many viewers wouldn’t know about Chau Tuyet Van, even though she is a prominent Taekwondo record holder. In addition to being admired for her martial arts skills, Van suddenly “profited” because the audience recognized and loved her more thanks to her stage presence.

The program's addition of two season 1 beauties, My Linh and Thu Phuong, to lead the juniors, is not sure whether it will add more attraction to the program, but it is also a way to create a difference. The competition between the two "bosses" is strangely not very balanced. Because My Linh almost always wins, especially in the lucky rounds.
