Who is the "Queen of Tears" currently causing a sensation on prime-time dramas?

Jun 19, 2026

Hanoi [Vietnam], June 19: From the film 'One Millimeter Away From You' to the currently airing 'Under the Bright Window,' Quynh Chau continues to demonstrate her ability to portray inner emotions, earning her the nickname 'Queen of Tears'.
If the role of Tú in "One Millimeter Apart" earned Quỳnh Châu the affectionate title of the new "Queen of Tears" on Vietnamese television, then the role of Diệu in "Under the Bright Window, " currently airing on VTV3, further affirms the ability of the actress born in 1998 to portray inner emotions.
'Queen of Tears' continues to cause a sensation.
According to the latest developments in "Under the Bright Window ," the truth about Duong's infidelity is finally revealed. Facing her husband, who was once her support, Dieu doesn't cry or erupt in anger. She chooses a cold but deeply hurtful approach, forcing Duong to confess the truth about his extramarital affair. Even more painful is Dieu's realization that the man she shared her life with for so long was so indifferent that he didn't even notice the pain she had just endured.
What moved the audience wasn't the dramatic dialogue, but the way Quynh Chau expressed her emotions. Her vacant gaze, the disappointment of shattered trust, and her choked voice in each line made many viewers feel the pain of a woman betrayed. Therefore, on Vietnamese film forums and social media, many viewers praised the actress. Numerous opinions suggested that Quynh Chau had delivered her best performance since the beginning of the film, with some even commenting that she "acted with her eyes," that a single glance was enough to convey the character's despair.
Many comments expressed: "This actress cries the most beautifully in TV dramas"; "Quynh Chau's acting is amazing, even her crying is beautiful"; "Last night's episode was fantastic, she portrayed the ultimate pain of a betrayed wife through her facial expressions and tears without needing many lines"...
The audience's empathy for Dieu also stems from the fact that the character is portrayed quite realistically. A strong woman who constantly shoulders the burdens of work and family, Dieu faces a series of setbacks in her business. Before discovering her husband's infidelity, she also faces immense pressure in her work and life . These successive events make the character's life increasingly tragic and also provide an opportunity for Quynh Chau to showcase her psychological acting abilities.
This isn't the first time Quynh Chau has captivated audiences with her crying scenes. At the end of 2025, the actress garnered attention for her role as Tu in " One Millimeter Away From You." This character constantly experiences heartbreak in love, with many scenes depicting crying and inner turmoil. Her ability to express emotions naturally, without being overly sentimental, yet still touching the viewers, earned her the affectionate title of the new "Queen of Tears" on Vietnamese television.
Before becoming known for her emotionally rich roles, Quynh Chau had already made her mark through various types of characters in dramas such as " Walking Amidst the Brilliant Sky," "One Family," and "Dusty Roads." This constant shift in role types shows that the young actress doesn't want to confine herself to a single image and is gradually establishing her position in the prime-time VTV drama scene .
