The Glorious Years is a remake of the Korean romantic comedy film Sunny. The Glorious Years premiered in 2018 and is still considered a film with an inspirational story for all generations of audiences thanks to its plus points such as a touching script, charming cast of actresses and especially, it has turned Da Lat into a phenomenon once again through extremely poetic footage.
During the nearly two-hour runtime, the audience will surely be drawn into the journey of five girls finding each other after a long time of losing contact and reliving with them the "brilliant years" of their teenage years once again. Actress Hong Anh shared: "Although the film is a remake of a Korean script, the director has very cleverly incorporated stories and events that are deeply Vietnamese. Thanks to that, I believe that not only the actors but also the audience will feel the closeness from the content to the culture."
Meanwhile, The Girl from Yesterday is a romantic and humorous story that Netflix chose to send to audiences nationwide, especially those who are fans of innocent stories from Nguyen Nhat Anh - a famous writer with best-selling "childhood memories" books.
The Girl from Yesterday revives the stories of “a time gone by, a lifetime to remember” of anyone at school age with many memories of first love, school, and friends. The film’s director, Mr. Phan Gia Nhat Linh, said: “I am very happy to know that my work is one of two films broadcast on Netflix to target domestic producers. Vietnamese audiences, whether they have seen the film or have not had the chance to see it in theaters, will have the opportunity to enjoy this work on the small screen with any device connected to the Internet.”
