This was the second Vietnamese TV series that I watched and I must say I was actually impressed on the acting more than the first one that I watched. I just have to say that I didn’t expect much of this one and I was just channel surfing and found it so I followed it throughout. It was really lively–contrary to the previous one that I watched. It was also very charming in humor and also meaningful about life. Although there were also frustrating times and annoying details, it was done very well. I especially liked the soundtrack also since it really fitted in with the overall plot. Luong Manh Hai and Tang Thanh Ha did really well portraying their roles. Their acting was more natural than some others that I’d seen in the previous one that I watched. They made their character so lively that I couldn’t help but be drawn into the story until the very end. Of course, there were many bits and pieces where it seemed so ridiculous but the overall of the series was very good. Not to mention Luong Manh Hai and Tang Thanh Ha’s chemistry made up for everything else. It was fun to watch them bickered and picked on each other at the beginning, but learned to get along in the later part of the series and became friends–and much more. I totally recommend this series for anyone who loves watching Vietnamese dramas. (But try it at your own risk! So much for it, huh?)
