Hanoi [Vietnam], July 22: With the recent developments in the film 'White Fire', the character that has piqued the audience's curiosity the most is the mysterious 'boss' played by Thu Quỳnh.
In White Fire , Thu Quynh plays Lan, the "boss" who appears elegant, calm, and always in the right place at the right time. This character is currently the biggest mystery of the film. For weeks, viewers have been constantly asking: Is Lan an undercover police officer planted in the criminal organization, or is she truly the woman behind the entire drug trafficking ring?
Thu Quỳnh sparks curiosity with her character as the 'female boss'.
Lan is not introduced in the typical way of a villain. She appears infrequently, but each appearance brings a new plot twist. Instead of direct threats or orders, the character controls everything with calmness, discretion, and the ability to manipulate others.
In recent episodes of "White Fire , " this character has become clearer. Many plot points reveal her high position within the drug trafficking ring, directly involved in crucial decisions, and respected by many key figures. In particular, when Lan suggests that Le Truong eliminate Suong because she is suspected of being an undercover police officer, viewers almost have the answer that she is not a member of law enforcement but a truly powerful figure within the criminal organization.
This detail also heightens the intellectual battle in the film. While previously the police force mainly followed individual links in the chain, now the battle has moved straight to the heart of the organization. Just one small mistake by the undercover agents could cause the entire operation to fall apart.
Lan doesn't operate alone. She has close ties to Le Truong, Cuong "the Black," and many other key figures in the network. While Cuong directly handles many operations, Lan acts as the mastermind behind the scenes, devising strategic plans to protect the entire network. This power structure makes her the most crucial link in the film at this point.
What sets Lan apart from many villains on Vietnamese screens is that her evil is portrayed with restraint. She doesn't need to yell or lose her temper, yet she still exerts pressure on those around her. Her gaze, demeanor, and slow, deliberate manner of speaking are precisely the "weapons" that make the character terrifying.
For Thu Quynh , this is a special role. After making her mark as My "the wolf" in Quynh the Doll, Khanh Thy in The Taste of Family , or Hue in Coming Home, the actress continues to challenge herself with a completely different villainous character.
Thu Quỳnh revealed that she had to spend a lot of time researching the psychology of the head of a criminal organization to create an image that was both powerful and mysterious. This is a rare occasion for the actress to participate in a police crime drama in the role of the central antagonist.
To this day, viewers remain skeptical about Thu Quỳnh's character. They continuously offer theories about her, ranging from the possibility of her being an undercover police officer to the possibility of her being a real crime boss. This ambiguity has created a lively discussion on social media.
In the latest developments of the series, viewers continue to wait to see what other moves the "drug queen" will make to protect her drug trafficking empire, and also anticipate a direct confrontation between Lan and the police force.
