Controversy Surrounding Character Thảo in ‘Dịu Dàng Màu Nắng’
The character Thảo in the film ‘Dịu Dàng Màu Nắng’ has stirred up significant debate among viewers due to her abrupt and drastic change in personality. Initially portrayed as a lively and dynamic young woman working as a laborer in a boarding house, Thảo had romantic feelings for her supervisor Phong, but quickly dismissed them as she realized they were nothing more than a pipe dream. However, after marrying and experiencing an unhappy marriage, Thảo returns to the boarding house, only to undergo a complete transformation. She becomes mean-spirited, irrationally jealous, and displays a difficult attitude towards her close friend Xuân.
This sudden shift in personality has been met with criticism from audiences, who find it hard to accept and feel disappointed by the lack of logical development. Specifically, in the upcoming episode 39, Thảo returns in a drunken state, lashing out at Xuân and accusing her of stealing her love. She bemoans her fate, labeling herself as ‘spoiled, depraved, and wicked’. Despite her attempt at eliciting sympathy through self-pity, viewers find it challenging to empathize with her.
The backlash from the online community against Thảo and the way she was developed as a character has been substantial. In response, actress Mai Huê, who plays Thảo, shared a lighthearted message on her personal page, expressing gratitude and apologizing to her audience.
This is not the first time ‘Dịu Dàng Màu Nắng’ has faced controversy over character development. Earlier, the film sparked debate due to the character Xuân, played by Ngọc Huyền, with viewers criticizing Xuân for being tactless and having mocking remarks towards her sister-in-law https:// .
