TV Blockbuster Turns Out to Be a Flop
Currently, "Beloved Princess: Moon in the Palace" is being considered a flop as the number of viewers continues to decrease. The show features Duong Mich and Cung Tuan.
The show was touted as a TV blockbuster in China 2024 due to its large budget and the involvement of Duong Mich, Cung Tuan. However, according to the latest statistics, the online viewership of the show is only reaching 30,000 - 60,000. This number is considered quite disappointing.

Many comments about the show are trending on Weibo, but most of them are negative. The content of the show is criticized for lacking depth, and the emotional scenes are considered superficial.
Viewers also find the interaction between Duong Mich and Cung Tuan to be disappointing. In the show, Duong Mich portrays the main female character, Do Son Hong Hong.
Prior to the show airing, some viewers were concerned that Duong Mich was too old for the character. The 38-year-old actress no longer maintains the innocent and charming look.
During the collaboration, the age and appearance difference between Duong Mich and her co-star became apparent. Both of their acting skills were criticized as Duong Mich failed to change her acting style while Cung Tuan was deemed inexperienced.
"Beloved Princess: Moon in the Palace" is adapted from a popular game, which had a large following. The show's highlight is the visually pleasing costumes that stay true to the game characters.

In addition to the two main actors, the show also features other actors such as Zhang Lang Ha, Tran Do Linh, Quach Hieu Dinh, Ho Lien Hinh, and Ngo Triet Minh...
Controversy at Cannes Film Festival
On May 25, Duong Mich appeared on the red carpet of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. The actress attended the festival as part of the cast of the movie "Tropical Romance."
"Tropical Romance" is not competing for any awards at the festival but still garnered attention from critics and audiences as it was screened at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

It is known that this is Duong Mich's second invitation to attend the Cannes Film Festival. However, her attitude and fashion choices at Cannes have sparked controversy on Chinese social media.
Many were surprised to see Duong Mich wearing a silver sparkling dress that stood out from the rest of the cast. While other artists opted for darker tones, lead actress Chương Tử Di chose a subdued purple dress, Duong Mich wore a custom-designed glittering silver dress.
Some fans of Chương Tử Di criticized Duong Mich for trying to attract media attention by standing out, even though she was not the main actress. Some fans who admire the Night Party actress analyze that on the international market, Duong Mich is still relatively unknown compared to Chương Tử Di.
Chương Tử Di received special treatment from the Cannes Film Festival organizers as she had 3 minutes to walk on the red carpet and attract international media attention.
Chương Tử Di's charisma and beauty received praise from international journalists. She posed confidently as hundreds of cameras focused on her. Chương Tử Di's expressions were confident and radiant.
On the other hand, Duong Mich stood at a corner and appeared somewhat shy. Sina commented, "Duong Mich's face looked tense as she walked on the international red carpet."
QQ also commented, "Perhaps, the decision to attend Cannes with the Tropical Romance crew was a mistake by Duong Mich. In the domestic market, she may be famous and known to many people. But on the international red carpet, she is not particularly outstanding. Her hesitation speaks volumes."

At the beginning of 2023, Duong Mich decided to leave the entertainment company Gia Hành Thiên Hạ to find her own path. Her departure from Gia Hành Thiên Hạ was seen as a milestone in her career.
Some close sources revealed that Duong Mich was tired of the familiar romantic and affectionate roles. She wants to venture into roles that require deep acting skills, challenging dramas that appeal to audiences.
Her films released in 2024 have not met expectations. Prior to "Beloved Princess: Moon in the Palace," Duong Mich ventured into a dramatic film "Kapi Tan 1944." However, her acting in both shows disappointed the audience, leading to a decline in viewership towards the end.
