The film marks Hoai Lam's return to the big screen since "Yeu em bat chap" (2018), a romantic comedy directed by Van Cong Vien, a remake of the Korean film "My Sassy Girl". Primarily a musician, Hoai Lam has occasionally appeared in films such as "Quy tu bat dac di" (2015) and "Tia toi la cao thu" (2016). Despite limited screen time, his natural acting style has been praised.
Recently, Hoai Lam has gradually returned to work after a period of medical treatment. In late 2024, he revealed he was hospitalized in Can Tho for a neurological condition affecting his emotional control. The singer had to cancel two concerts in Ho Chi Minh City and took a three-month break from performing.

Hoai Lam, 30, won the first season of "Guong mat than quen" in 2014. In 2017, he began a relationship with Bao Ngoc, niece of artist Bao Quoc, and reduced his professional activities. In late 2018, Hoai Lam stopped singing and returned to his hometown for treatment. By the end of 2019, the relationship ended, and he continued his hiatus. In 2020, Hoai Lam made a successful comeback with the hit songs "Hoa no khong mau" and "Buon lam chi em oi" (Nguyen Minh Cuong) after two years away from the stage. He won Song of the Year at the Cong Hien Awards and the Lan Song Xanh Award that same year.
