The role pushed 'primetime drama goddess' Hong Diem into a fierce stream of praise and criticism.

Hong Diem's performance in the movie "Heart Rescue Station".

Hong Diem is loved by many audiences for her gentle beauty and a series of impressive roles in TV series: Rainbow of Love, A Lifetime of Enmity, Rose on the Left Chest, Sunflower Against the Sun...

After 2 years since playing the role of Phuong in Journey of Justice, Hong Diem reunited with television audiences through the role of Ngan Ha in the film Heart Rescue Station . However, Hong Diem's return this time did not really win over the audience, on the contrary, this was a role that pushed her into a fierce stream of praise and criticism.

The role of Ngan Ha made Hong Diem receive many mixed opinions.

During the first 14 episodes of the film, Hong Diem was commented as "one-dimensional", "bland", "not suitable for the role"...

First, it must be mentioned that the character Ngan Ha has a situation quite similar to the characters Hong Diem has portrayed before: Both are gentle women, loving their husbands, extremely patient and painfully betrayed.

This gives the audience the feeling that Hong Diem lacks breakthrough and is boring in her acting, making the character bland and unable to show the "quality" of the female lead.

Hong Diem herself also realized that continuously taking on roles with similar circumstances was a difficult point for her: “The difficulty here is the script because the motif is no longer new to me. After careful consideration, I just think like the character Ngan Ha in the film. That is, being in this situation, having accepted the project, just move on, read the script carefully to understand the character's personality and starting circumstances and follow that path.”

The character motif is not new and familiar, combined with the familiar acting style, causing Hong Diem to be criticized as boring and bland.

However, Hong Diem also affirmed that she will show the audience new things in the character Ngan Ha: "If we say that this character is like the previous characters who were all betrayed by their husbands, that is just the surface. When watching the movie, the audience will be caught up in the plot of the movie and from the character's background and personality, they will see that this character is very different."

However, by episode 14 of the film, Ngan Ha's character still hasn't had any breakthrough or change, even though a big incident has happened to her family.

The painful scene where Ngan Ha “turned face” at Nghia’s birthday party helped Hong Diem receive praise for her acting. But that was not the highlight that helped the actress make an impression for this role.

Many people think Hong Diem is not suitable for the role.

The psychological development of the character Ngan Ha is quite slow, creating a feeling of fatigue and boredom for the audience. Many people commented that Hong Diem's acting is no different from previous characters and many even commented that she is not suitable for the role of Ngan Ha.

Not only was the script and acting criticized, the character Ngan Ha's appearance was also not impressive, not exuding the luxurious, stylish beauty of a young lady from a rich family that the script had created.

Right from the beginning of the film, Hong Diem's bangs did not create a youthful, innocent effect, but instead caused her to be criticized as "trying to look younger". In particular, her chubby face also made Ngan Ha look "older" and less classy than the actress's previous characters.

Hong Diem's character creation is not highly appreciated.

When the film was first aired, many viewers went to Hong Diem’s personal page to leave comments expressing suspicions that the actress had undergone plastic surgery. However, Hong Diem tactfully denied this suspicion, saying that her face looked a bit different because she had gained weight.

Having been acting since 2008, Hong Diem has always been highly regarded for both her beauty and ability. However, with the role of Ngan Ha in Heart Rescue Station , it can be seen that the actress's character selection and overly familiar, safe acting style are no longer "popular" with the majority of the audience.

However, by episode 15 of the film, the development of the script helps the character of Ngan Ha to have a clearer highlight. Faced with the situation of her father in prison, having no support, her husband revealing his ultimate depravity, and becoming pregnant at the most desperate moment, Ngan Ha begins to show signs of "changing her mind".

The character is more proactive in escaping the "out of the blue" tragedies for herself and her family. Not only is there a change in the script, Hong Diem's acting also leaves a stronger impression with the scene where she panics when she finds out she is pregnant.

The scene where Ngan Ha panics when she discovers she is pregnant gives the audience a different perspective on Hong Diem's acting.

She had wanted to have a child with her husband but got pregnant at a time when her family was at the depths of tragedy. She did not believe the result of the pregnancy test and cried helplessly: "Mom, I'm pregnant. How could I be pregnant, Mom?

He gave me nut milk that had birth control pills in it every day. He said he would never let anything go wrong, he said he didn't want his child to grow inside me. Why did I get pregnant, Mom? What should I do, Mom?"

In this scene, Hong Diem expressed well the character's unstable and desperate psychology, gaining sympathy from many viewers. Many comments said that Hong Diem always did well in psychologically climaxing scenes, worthy of the public's expectations.

However, some viewers still commented that the actress's expression in this scene was not really natural and not very excellent.

Although there are still many controversies surrounding the character Ngan Ha, the audience is still waiting for Hong Diem's "transformation" in the upcoming episodes.
