The 2018 Vietnamese movie "Chang Vo Cua Em" (aka "My Mr. Wife") turned out to be a rather wholesome movie. When I sat down in 2022 to watch this movie from director Charlie Nguyen, I have to admit that I had neither heard about the movie before, nor did I know what it was about. But it being an Asian movie that I hadn't already seen was more than sufficient to make me watch it.
And I will say that the storyline definitely proved to be entertaining. It was a nicely written storyline and plot, however, running at two hours, the movie was feeling a bit heavy and slow paced at times. So perhaps a more round-handed trim in post-production would have spruced up the movie here and there.
The movie starred Thai Hoa (playing Hung) and Phuong Anh Dao (playing Mai). They carried the movie quite well with their performances, especially Thai Hoa.
If you enjoy a romantic drama with elements of comedy to it, then give "Chang Vo Cua Em" a chance, should you find yourself with the opportunity to do so.
My rating of "Chang Vo Cua Em" lands on a six out of ten stars.
