The reason why Tran Do Linh "fell in love" with Tan Van Lai was revealed, the details of the decision were surprising

With any work, the choice of actors for main and supporting roles has its own reasons and intentions of the "director". "When the Swallow Returns" is no exception.

"When the Swallow Returns" (formerly known as "The Noble Lady") is currently "making waves" on Chinese screens, becoming the first film since the beginning of 2025 to surpass 30,000 heat points on Tencent Video. Thanks to that, it has entered the top ho.t films of this platform.

Recently, director Duong Long revealed the reason for choosing Tran Do Linh and Tan Van Lai for the female and male lead roles of "When the Swallow Returns". Accordingly, when casting the character Trang Han Nhan, the director did not look for a female lead model with a strong appearance, but more importantly, a strong inner self.

"The female lead is not strong on the outside, but strong on the inside. If her inside is weak, no matter how strong she is on the outside, it's useless. Trang Han Nhan's strength lies in the fact that she doesn't need to become someone else, just her inherent gentleness is enough to achieve her goal," he said.

Tran Do Linh, with her elegant beauty but hidden perseverance, convinced Duong Long and became the perfect choice for this role. It is known that before joining the film crew, the young actress underwent professional training in tea ceremony, social etiquette with strict requirements in walking style, greeting... showing her determination and responsibility for the role.

Regarding the character of Pho Van Tich, according to the director, the most important criterion is to bring a sense of security. After trying on the character, the production team realized that Tan Van Lai possessed that trait, so they chose him. Duong Long also affirmed that the fact that the male lead was not romantic enough in the early stages was not due to the actor: "The biggest special point in the love line of "Quy Nu" is that the male and female leads' concept of love is more mature. In the end, you will feel that they can really accompany each other for life."

Many movie fans, upon hearing the director's sharing, also agreed because later on, Pho Van Tich expressed her emotions more clearly and had chemistry scenes that filled the screen with Trang Han Nhan. Tan Van Lai and Tran Do Linh received many compliments thanks to their good combination and improved acting. The final episodes of the movie will be released tomorrow (April 1). Will the male and female leads have a happy endin.g or will one lose and one survive?

"When the Swallow Returns" is adapted from the novel "Rebirth of a Noble Woman in the South" by author Thien Son Tra Khach, set in the late Ming Dynasty. The content revolves around the story of Trang Han Nhan - the third young lady of the Trang family. Due to the mischief of Chau di nuong - a concubine of her father, she was sent to the remote Dam Chau since birth and raised by an acquaintance.

Trang Han Nhan's life in Dam Chau was extremely miserable. Not only was she scrutinized and teased because of that prophecy, but she was also tortured and scolded. Her father's fellow students even planned to commit a lew.d act on her 17th birthday.

To protect herself, Han Yan had no choice but to use all her strength to fight back. After attackin.g the couple, she threw the hairpin down the well and traveled thousands of miles to return to Trang mansion on a cold day, covered in snow everywhere.

From here, Trang Han Nhan's new life begins. No longer an innocent young gir.l who lets others bea.t and bully her, Han Nhan cleverly begins her journey to change her fate, showing no mercy to those who harm her. During this process, she meets and receives help from the Deputy Minister of the Dali Temple, Pho Van Tich, who has a strange disease and may not live long.

Therefore, Deputy Minister Pho Thieu wanted to marry a virtuous and talented wif.e to entrust his relatives and friends to. With her kind heart and extraordinary abilities, Trang Han Nhan became his best choice. At first, Han Nhan refused the deal that Pho Van Tich proposed, but after her biological mothe.r was harmed, she accepted the offer to join the Pho family.

Relying on her intelligence and tricks, along with the help of Pho Van Tich, she gradually transformed herself from the hated Third Miss of the Trang family to the number one noble lady of the capital.
