During the promotion of the historical drama Hien Ngu, the main couple Tran Phi Vu - Vuong Anh Lo made the audience "disappear" because of the obvious couple act that still didn't create any chemistry.

The scene of hugging the ball to the face, deliberately getting close to appear sweet turned into a farce, to the point that netizens bluntly criticized "watching it makes me uncomfortable".

However, despite the deliberate attempt to create a buzz, after nearly a week on air, Hien Ngu still failed to create a buzz, completely overshadowed by competitors in the same race such as Sinh Van Vat by Duong Mich or Tu Da Quy by Hua Khai - Dien Hi Vi. So what is the reason that Hien Ngu is falling into the current state of failure?

In the original story Offering Salted Fish to the Master, the male lead Sima Xiao was originally very domineering, both dangerous and charming, but falling into the hands of Tran Phi Vu, this character suddenly became a soulless "ancient CEO" model. Throughout many episodes, Tran Phi Vu almost only knew how to show a stiff face, his small eyes widened in a forced manner. The so-called "cold and majestic" was turned by Tran Phi Vu into "stiff as a wax statue".

In many scenes that should have exuded a formidable aura, he clearly showed a lack of facial muscle control when he pursed his lips excessively, often glared, and even his eyes did not convey any emotion.

The most objectionable thing is the physical flaws that are exposed on screen. The long face with a pointed chin makes Tran Phi Vu compared to a shovel, the slightly protruding mouth makes his mouth look strange when reading lines and clearly shows imbalance. A male lead in ancient costume who should exude a cold and noble immortal aura ends up looking like a funny meme that makes the audience "turn around" quickly.

If Tran Phi Vu was criticized for being stiff, then the female lead Lieu Dinh Nhan in Vuong Anh Lo was doubly disappointing. Her appearance was not suitable for historical dramas, but she had to force herself to put on a thin filter to become a beauty. However, the filter could not save her face, which was already lacking in sophistication because of her wide, emotionless eyes and her mouth that was distracting when reading lines.

Not to mention, Vuong Anh Lo's smile was also "called out" on social networks. Instead of exuding sweetness, her smiling face brought along a series of flaws such as crooked teeth, crooked mouth corners and obvious wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Many people also commented harshly: "Playing the female lead in a romance novel but looking like she was reduced to a funny supporting role."

Her acting also cannot make up for the above weaknesses. In romantic scenes, Vuong Anh Lo often opens her eyes wide, her mouth wide open, revealing her teeth, creating an awkward expression that turns the romantic moment into a comedy scene. In tragic scenes, she falls into the "stage drama" style of gesticulating, making fake expressions, and crying without a single tear.

A historical romance drama survives on the chemistry between the male and female leads, but with Tran Phi Vu and Vuong Anh Lo, this is completely non-existent. When standing next to each other, the two do not create the feeling of a couple but only show obvious awkwardness. The hugging scene is as stiff as two pieces of wood, the intimate scene is urgent and awkward, more like "rehearsal classmates" than lovers.

Unfortunately, instead of focusing on improving their acting, this couple and their crew chose the path of "ridiculously making up a couple" in every promotional event. From putting their cheeks on the ball to forcing each other to smile awkwardly, in the end it only made the audience bored. Viewers even sarcastically said: "In real life, the antics are even more ridiculous than in the movie, no wonder the results are flops."

Hien Ngu had all the elements to become a hit with its famous original, a large fan base, and a light and humorous romance script. But it all collapsed because of poor acting, an unsuitable appearance, and an offensive media strategy. Tran Phi Vu and Vuong Anh Lo - the faces assigned to carry the film - became the "biggest flaw" that caused the work to fail miserably.
