Hong Dang turned into a young pilot, showing signs of age, causing controversy for 1 thing

Actor Hong Dang has just marked his return after nearly 4 years of absence from the TV screen when he appeared in episode 4 of the TV series Countdown Clock broadcast on February 6 on VTV Golden Hour.

This is the first time the audience has seen him return to the drama project after a series of silent days since part 2 of Thuong on a sunny day stopped broadcasting in 2022 due to personal involvement. This new role attracted strong attention from the public and quickly became a hot topic of discussion on film forums in recent days.

In The Countdown Clock, Hong Dang plays the role of Khang - a character dependent on the villain line with the image of a "young pilot" full of calculations and exploitation. This character is the mistress of the character played by Artist Quach Thu Phuong, who is 7 years older than him in real life, and has complicated relationships with many other girls. Khang is built as a pragmatic, pragmatic man who wants to take advantage of relationships with rich seniors, and on the other hand maintains extramarital relationships with young girls, aiming for his own calculations. Although he only appeared for a short time, Hong Dang's appearance and acting attracted attention from the first segments.

Hong Dang's return with a completely different villain role from the familiar "marshal" image before is considered a new step in his career. Previously, the actor was famous for a series of leading roles, rich in deep emotions in films such as Rainbow of Love, Rose on the Left Breast, Sunflower Against the Sun... and won the Impressive Actor award at the 2018 VTV Awards. The choice of a character with a more prickly color in this comeback made many viewers feel surprised and curious.

The audience's reaction to Hong Dang's current comeback is very multi-dimensional. On social networks and entertainment forums, many people expressed their excitement and welcomed the return of the actor after a long period of silence, saying that the role was small but enough to make a mark and make them want to continue to follow the story development. Some positive comments commented that Hong Dang still retains the same natural and emotional acting style as before and contributes to increasing the attraction of Countdown Clock.

However, there is also a part of the audience who expressed reservations or debated the choice of role this time. Some people think that letting Hong Dang play the role of a "young pilot" and the mistress of a character played by senior Quach Thu Phuong has a somewhat age difference and makes the relationship in the film not completely convincing.

In addition, the image of Khang's character with a peach and pragmatic personality is completely different from the previous gentle and frontal roles, making some viewers feel disappointed compared to what they are used to. Some also think that after the noise of his previous private life, the public needs more time to re-evaluate the actor's return on primetime.

Immediately after the episode aired, discussions about Hong Dang's role on film forums continued to heat up, with cheering opinions and debates surrounding this image and artistic choice. In the context that Vietnamese dramas are looking for familiar faces on primetime, Hong Dang's return is considered a test step so that he can return to bigger projects in the future, if the audience continues to accept this new role.

In conclusion, Hong Dang's comeback in Countdown Clock is a remarkable event in his current entertainment life, both creating great interest and opening up multi-dimensional debates about his image and direction in his acting career after more than 3 years of absence.
