Take a Guess: Vietnamese Cai Luong

This is a clip from Cai Luong (Vietnamese folk opera) titled "Manh Le Quan". Does it bear a bit of resemblance with Chinese opera? In fact, this show is taken from a very famous Chinese opera story. The Chinese version has been acted before in Taiwanese opera, Minnan Xiangju opera, Shaoxing Yue opera and Anhui Huangmei opera. Even in Hong Kong, it has been adapted into periodic drama serial. Miko, Amai and Juanjuan, take a guess! See if you can guess what show this is. A clue: The title of this show in Chinese has three words, and it has already been mentioned in the clip before.

Actually Su Yingxue is bold in this clip because she already knows her "husband" is Meng Lijun, but Meng Lijun still act "macho", try to seduce her, so Su Yingxue decide to pretend to be someone else and "seduce" back. haha..
