Prime time movie VTV3 Heart rescue station caused controversy from the first days of broadcasting. The film is said to over-dramatize married life, building the male lead character Nghia (played by Quang Su) into extreme corruption, while the female lead Ngan Ha played by Hong Diem is naive and stupid because trust your husband too much.
However, looking deeper, the film is making women uglier in the eyes of the audience. Meanwhile, women are just stepping stones for the male protagonist to take revenge. And in the process of regaining what was lost, the female protagonist must ask for the help of other “male gods and tycoons”.
Unhappy women
The two most prominent women in the Heart Rescue Station are Ngan Ha and An Nhien (played by Luong Thu Trang), it can be said that both are victims of Nghia.
An Nhien loved Nghia first, but had to accept the life of an only child so that Nghia could approach Ha to plan revenge for 6 years. Every night, she has to live alone, while the person she loves, the father of her child, is cuddling and pleasing another woman.
Jealousy tormented An Nhien for 6 years. Even after Nghia returned to her side, she was still haunted by Nghia’s time with Ha and doubted his fidelity. Is this the price An Nhien has to pay? An Nhien is built as a scheming female villain, specializing in poking fun at the pain of others, finding ways to torment Ngan Ha to satisfy her jealousy.
But, the person who pushed An Nhien into that ironic situation was Nghia, not Ngan Ha. However, the person she wanted to deal with was a woman who was also hurt like her.

This is the lack of humanity scenario of Heart Rescue Station.
While television dramas in other countries are increasingly aiming to spread positive energy and the “girls help girls” movement is promoted, VTV’s scripts motivate women to deal with each other because of the competition for a man. he is toxic.
Even Ngan Ha, who is often criticized by the audience for being stupid in trusting her husband too much, actually does not deserve such criticism. Is there a woman who, when married and living happily, always keeps a watchful eye on her husband? Is it wrong for women to live gentle, peaceful, and responsible lives? Those good qualities, through the hands of the screenwriter, suddenly turned into a weakness for the audience to criticize Ngan Ha.
Galaxy is the biggest victim in Nghia’s play, but she does not receive the audience’s sympathy because the script turns Ngan Ha into a weak, insensitive and useless person.
Besides, in the journey to regain what was lost, Ngan Ha also encountered many difficulties and immediately followed by the return of Vu (Thanh Long) like the hero saving beauty that often appears on TV. screen. Vu not only helped Ngan Ha find a lawyer, encouraged and comforted her, but also accompanied her in volunteer activities.
The Heart Rescue Station scenario poses difficulties and challenges for Ngan Ha to grow up, in the process helping her father and taking back the company. But the script does not allow Ngan Ha to be independent and achieve success on her own, but still lets the female lead hide in the man’s shadow. This is a way to weaken the role of women in the film, and is also a way to suggest that women always need men in their lives.

Lack of scripts focusing on women’s careers and independence
In countries with developed entertainment industries such as Korea and China, there is no shortage of female-centered scripts. In it, a woman focuses on developing her career, fighting alone against men who always despise her like The Wind Blows Ban Ha, or the image of a woman who failed in marriage but started her own business. rich or choose career instead of love like in Thirty. Those scripts are popular throughout Asia for celebrating women’s independence in the highest way.
Meanwhile, the scripts on VTV primetime dramas lack dramas that focus on a clear major, but often use work and companies as the backdrop to develop love and hatred plots.
In recent movies like Us 8 years later, the female lead is an architect, but there aren’t many scenes of her working and getting promoted, but mainly emotional scenes with her father and ex-lover. Even the female lead and two other female supporting characters were almost raped by the male character in the movie for different reasons.

Mai Duong in Us 8 years later is an inactive character, always blaming everyone and wallowing in her own suffering. |
In addition, in the movie, the male lead played by Manh Truong always appears in time to rescue Huyen Lizzie, however, these episodes happen so often that the audience gets bored and thinks that this character has nothing to do but spy on ex-girlfriend.
The content of the script above is intended to create drama for the film, but it is considered to be overusing shock scenes and disrespecting women.
