Le Phuong reveals 'exhaustingly painful' filming scenes in 'The Ghost of Happiness'

Hanoi [Vietnam], April 12: The film 'Ghost of Happiness,' starring Le Phuong and Luong The Thanh, is causing a sensation on social media. The actress revealed that the scenes left her exhausted due to the intense emotional intensity of the performance.
The ghost of happiness is becoming a focal point of debate, not only for its familiar theme of infidelity but also for touching upon a more painful "dark area": ​​the excessive sacrifice of women in marriage. At the heart of the story is the character Thanh Mai, played by Le Phuong , a role that is generating mixed emotions from viewers.
Thanh Mai is portrayed as a familiar archetype of an East Asian woman: she had a career and beauty, but after marriage, she chose to step back to care for her family. She gave up her job as a reporter, becoming a full-time housewife, shouldering all household responsibilities, from raising children and pleasing her husband to dealing with her mother-in-law's scrutiny. On the surface, it's a model family, but beneath the surface, there are simmering cracks. This is something Thanh Mai herself doesn't realize until a crisis strikes and a "third party" interferes in her marriage.
It is this "silent endurance" that makes Le Phuong 's role so special. Thanh Mai is not the type of character who is strong and rebellious from the start, but rather the image of a woman who is accustomed to living for others to the point of losing herself. And it is precisely this that makes the character the focus of debate. Many viewers believe that sacrificing too much is Thanh Mai's biggest mistake.
