In the past few days, when the first episodes of When the Swallows Returned aired, Tan Van Lai became a ho.t topic on social media. He made many people "sore eyes" with his extremely ugly appearance in the historical drama.

When the first episodes of When the Swallow Returns (formerly known as Quy Nu) aired, in addition to the content and the actors' performances, netizens also discussed the appearance of the male lead Tan Van Lai. He suddenly became a ho.t topic online with the title "ugly ancient male god". Many viewers thought that the ancient costume did not suit Tan Van Lai, making him look less handsome than in real life.

In response to negative comments, Tan Van Lai quickly responded online: "Let everyone laugh at you." He also attached a distorted photo of the character Pho Dai Nhan and sincerely apologized for making the audience feel "eye-sore" with a sincere attitude. Notably, the actor did not forget to take the opportunity to promote the film, encouraging the audience to watch it with a happy mood.

Immediately after that, Tan Van Lai's office also spoke up to confirm that he is the type of beauty that comes with a steady rain, the more you look at him the more pleasing to the eye he becomes, hoping the audience will give this guy a chance.

The actor's response was both sincere and humorous, making many people feel more sympathetic towards him. It proves that the actor has a very high EQ, easily turning the situation around, turning sarcas.m into his advantage.

The way Tan Van Lai frankly faces criticism also shows his open-mindedness when facing debate. Instead of avoiding it, the actor chooses to accept it with self-mockery, making the audience appreciate his attitude towards the profession even more.

Looking back at Tan Van Lai's career, from Bi Thuong Nguoc Dong Thanh Song (2018) to Du Phuong Hanh (2024), he has never faced similar judgments. Being called "ugly ancient male god" by many people is certainly a great pressure, even though he may not express it. But it also shows that Tan Van Lai is an actor who is not afraid to challenge prejudices.

During the film promotion, Tan Van Lai looked very suitable when standing next to Tran Do Linh. When not wearing the ancient costume, the actor's outstanding height of 1m83 was clearly visible. Therefore, Tan Van Lai should not be called ugly, but rather, Pho Van Tich's appearance overshadowed the actor's beauty. The problem lies in the film's makeup and styling style. The film's colors were dark and unsaturated, making the actor look even more pale.

Although Tan Van Lai's appearance is not perfect in the eyes of critics, his strong charisma is enough to hold the audience's attention, creating an interesting contrast. Many people commented: "Tan Van Lai's acting is okay, it's just a pity that his appearance is not outstanding enough."

Although he was labeled as "ugly ancient male god", Tan Van Lai's acting ability in When the Swallow Returns (Noble Woman) made many people change their views.

Pho Van Tich is a deep and profound official, holding great power but rarely showing emotions, creating a feeling of unfathomable depth and oppression for the person opposite. In fact, this is a difficult role to portray. Because with a face that is always cold, where is there room for the actor to show different expressions? Tan Van Lai has only one way to express his personality, which is through his eyes, the way he tilts his head, and the slight curl of his lips. The audience must feel that he is holding everything in the palm of his hand, not letting any small details slip through.

When Fu Yun Xi showed concern for the female lead, he could only use his eyes. The change from serious and cunning to gentle was very obvious. That was the expression of a real actor.
