The wave of “living the dream” dramas from mainland China this year has proven to be quite controversial, especially following a series of recent events. The central actress has continued to stir confusion with her portrayal of a 16-year-old princess.
Diep Tuyen returns as the princess.
In the drama Heavenly Matchmaker, actress Diep Tuyen has caused quite a stir as she portrays the character Tien Anh, a princess who appears to be only 16 years old. At this age, Tien Anh is depicted as an elite princess of a prosperous kingdom. Later in the storyline, she marries at the age of 22, which still maintains a sense of youthful charm.
This casting choice has raised eyebrows, as the actress, born in 1980, playing a 16-year-old character has made viewers question the credibility of the portrayal. According to QQ, the character’s youthful appearance does not quite align with Diep Tuyen’s actual age. When her older brother is in turmoil, she is seen rushing out, acting more like a mischievous girl, which fails to resonate due to her mature physical presence.

Aside from the acting challenges, the character’s hairstyle and outfit also play a significant role in the portrayal. Many costumes make the character appear less like a refined princess and more like a youthful girl, particularly given Diep Tuyen’s appearance at nearly 50 years old. The combination of these elements has led to a portrayal that feels “disconnected” from the character’s royal status.

Once a prominent star in TVB, known for roles in iconic dramas like Burning Hearts, Across the Horizon, Legend of the Great Xiao, and My Way, Diep Tuyen has seemingly faded from the public eye and is no longer as prominent as she once was. With the launch of Heavenly Matchmaker, she has not received much attention, yet it has not significantly impacted her current life.
Recently, Diep Tuyen also captured attention with her vibrant livestream sessions, captivating audiences with her spirited demeanor.
