Did Luong The Thanh betray his wife and condone the third party's actions, drawing criticism from viewers?

The immense popularity of the drama "Ghost of Happiness" led to Luong The Thanh being bombarded with messages from viewers because of his portrayal of Hoang Dung's blatant infidelity. The role caused a peak of outrage, pushing the actor into the center of criticism on social media.

When the "prince charming" turns rotten and the shamelessness of an unconventional relationship.

"The Ghost of Happiness" explores the familiar theme of family, but shocks viewers with its portrayal of an unbelievably terrible husband. Hoang Dung (Luong The Thanh) – a successful businessman with a beautiful wife and obedient children – single-handedly destroys his family by secretly having an affair with Nhu Trang (Ngan Hoa). What's more, Nhu Trang is the daughter of Dung's deceased best friend, whom his family had taken in and raised since childhood.

This character's "betrayal" lies not only in his infidelity but also in his tolerant attitude towards the mistress causing chaos right in his own home. Scenes of Dung and his young lover secretly getting intimate at the company, or shamelessly engaging in their affair under his wife's watchful eyes, infuriate viewers. The peak of outrage comes when Dung secretly buys a luxurious apartment to live with his mistress, while nonchalantly receiving devoted care from his loyal wife, Thanh Mai (Le Phuong). Luong The Thanh's immersive acting makes the character of Hoang Dung appear incredibly selfish, turning him into one of the most hated actors on screen currently.

Viewers launch a "total attack," spilling their criticism from the film onto real life.

The film's appeal was so great that the line between film and reality seemed to blur. On social media, many viewers, so engrossed in the plot, didn't hesitate to send critical messages, even directly insulting Luong The Thanh's personal page. Many expressed disappointment and frustration at the husband's weakness in allowing the "other woman" to manipulate and harm his wife and children.

Luong The Thanh suddenly became the target of outrage from mothers. "Watching the movie just makes me want to jump into the screen and slap my husband," "How can he play such a villain that people hate him in real life too?" – these were some of the most common comments. While this demonstrates his successful portrayal of the character, the public pressure is clearly creating an unprecedented wave of backlash against the actor born in 1982.

"Putting on lipstick, not fighting over jealousy" and the tragedy of extreme self-sacrifice.

Faced with Hoang Dung's blatant betrayal and Nhu Trang's domineering behavior, Le Phuong's character, Thanh Mai, sparks controversy due to her submissive and enduring nature. Viewers are left feeling sorry for Mai, who gives up her career as a reporter to become a housewife, only to be looked down upon by her husband and his "adopted nephew." Scenes of Mai silently weeping while witnessing her husband's intimacy with the other woman, instead of confronting them, push viewers' frustration to the extreme.

However, behind that silence seems to be a deeply calculated plan of retaliation, a kind of "applying lipstick, not jealousy." Le Phuong shared that she had to gather every pain and betrayal from the early days of filming to portray the collapse of a woman stripped of her trust. Thanh Mai's sacrifice is a wake-up call for women who always live for others and forget themselves. The contrast between a cheating husband, an ambitious third party, and a long-suffering wife creates an irresistible appeal for "The Ghost of Happiness," making the film not just an entertainment but also a heated debate about morality and family values ​​in modern society.
