The film "My assistant" premiered in 2019. The main character is Kha Doanh (played by My Tam), a businesswoman trying to save her family's company from a takeover. To appease a major shareholder, she becomes an assistant to his nephew (played by Mai Tai Phen). A romance gradually develops between them, despite their age difference and differing lifestyles.
The lyrics of "Noi minh dung chan" describe the feelings of the film's female character, who falls for a younger man who is her superior: "Why did you fall for someone like me? Someone who makes you cry all night. Why did we give each other every day? Now the broken truth hurts even more."
