The new series was filmed over a couple of weeks in March.

“The series is a kind of educational entertainment, so it’snot easy to do, it should be interesting like other films to attract audiences,but it also has a mission of spreading messages from the authorities,” said Do Thanh Hai, Director of the Vietnam Television FeatureFilm Centre (VFC).

Unforgettable Days is sure to catch people’s attentionbecause of the high demand for entertainment during social distancing and thegood reputation the two series gained before, according to Hai.

Audiences will see their favourite actors and actresses suchas BaoThanh, Thu Quynh, Phuong Oanh and People’s ArtistTrung Anh.
