"I myself don't have much experience in love, so I don't know what it's like to transform into a girl in love. But after that, I received a lot of help from everyone in the group, especially Ms. Ms. Cao Nguyet Hang.

I would like to call Ms. Hang my teacher. Teacher Cao Nguyet Hang taught me the basic knowledge of acting, every smallest detail to express the character, from pronunciation, gestures, and eyes. In each specific scene, Uncle Tran Luc and Uncle Trung Hieu also helped me a lot to complete the role," Cao Thi Thuy Linh added.
