Hanoi [Vietnam], February 27: Returning to prime-time television with the role of Hong Dang's scheming lover, Meritorious Artist Quach Thu Phuong impressed with the sharp beauty of a former star.
Born in 1977, Meritorious Artist Quach Thu Phương possesses a youthful beauty and captivating aura. Despite a 7-year age difference, she and her co-star Hồng Đăng still create a special appeal on screen.
Quach Thu Phương maintains her figure thanks to yoga.
Quach Thu Phương was one of the prominent faces of Northern Vietnamese cinema in the late 1990s through works such as " Của để danh," "Ha Nội mùa đong năm 46," and "Sống mai với thủ đo"... Her gentle beauty and deep, melancholic eyes helped her leave a lasting impression on audiences for many years.
After taking a break from acting to focus on her family, she returned and continued to demonstrate her talent through prime-time dramas such as " The Taste of Family Love," "Don't Make Me Forget," "Battle of Wits," and currently " The Countdown Clock."
In the series, Quach Thu Phương's character, Tuyết, is a mature, ambitious, and calculating woman. She has a secret relationship with lawyer Khang, played by Hồng Đăng. After the death of Tuyết's husband, schemes over the inheritance gradually come to light, making Tuyết and Khang's relationship intertwined with not only romantic feelings but also self-interest and suspicion. In recent episodes, as secrets are gradually revealed, Tuyết begins to doubt the man she trusted, creating a deep internal conflict.
In terms of acting, Quach Thu Phương is highly praised for her restraint and psychological depth. The actress doesn't simply portray Tuyết as a villain, but as a woman with multiple layers of emotion, both vulnerable and sharp-witted. Her years of experience on stage and screen help Quach Thu Phương express subtle nuances in her gaze, demeanor, and psychological shifts.
In real life, Quach Thu Phương leads a private life . The actress once shared about the time she faced stress and depression when she temporarily stepped away from acting, and yoga was the method that helped her regain balance in her life. On her personal page, Quach Thu Phương often posts pictures of her workouts, everyday moments, and positive messages about women, age, and self-confidence. She believes that happiness comes from inner peace and doesn't feel pressured to prove anything in middle age.
Quach Thu Phương's return in "Countdown Clock" surprised viewers not only with her youthful beauty but also with the depth of her acting. The relationship between Tuyết and Khang shows that prime-time dramas are boldly exploring more complex emotional storylines, where love, ambition, and betrayal intertwine. At nearly 50 years old, Quach Thu Phương still proves that true artists are not limited by time, but are defined by their character and passion for their profession.
