The latest series from THVL, The Lost Son, introduces a new narrative that revolves around Bao An, the heir of a wealthy family. Faced with overwhelming challenges, this young man becomes increasingly estranged from his family, displaying traits of a spoiled child who disregards authority, shows no affection for his father, and even resorts to extreme measures to confront his mother’s harshness. He even ventures into the depths of the forest to find solace, contemplating the idea of selling his family home.
The Lost Son has received acclaim for its engaging storyline and the impressive performances of the cast members. After airing four episodes, the series leaves viewers feeling quite… disheartened due to the difficult portrayal of the character Bao An, who refers to himself as a “divine being.” Initially appearing as a charming figure, his character arc quickly shifts to that of a spoiled individual who acts with recklessness. The portrayal is further complicated by his exaggerated hairstyle that resembles a mythical creature, combined with a wardrobe choice that seems mismatched and unappealing.

However, this time around, with the portrayal of a spoiled “divine being,” the production team has faced considerable criticism. As a result, this character has become a significant focal point in The Lost Son, acting as a “turning point” for the audience.
