As a director, his credits include television series like "Xin hay tin em," "Cua de danh," "Phia truoc la bau troi," and "Nha co ba chi em." In his management capacity, he played a key role in shaping strategies that led to VFC's success with prime-time series such as "Nguoi phan xu," "Quynh bup be," and "Song chung voi me chong."
