While other MotChill originals like Thiên Thần Hộ Mệnh (Guardian Angel) focus on fantasy or high-concept romance, Tập Làm Người Lớn belongs to a growing subgenre of “realistic web-dramas.” It shares DNA with series like Yêu Trước Ngày Cưới (Love Before Wedding) but distinguishes itself through its lower-stakes, everyday conflicts. This grounded approach has led some media analysts to call it the Vietnamese answer to global hits like SKAM (Norway) or Fleabag (UK), adapted for a local audience.
Upon its release, Tập Làm Người Lớn generated significant buzz on Vietnamese social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Facebook. Viral clips of the most emotional or humorous scenes spread rapidly, drawing in viewers who had not initially followed the series. Critics praised the show for its honest, unflinching look at modern Vietnamese youth culture, noting that it filled a gap left by both state television (which tends to avoid raw depictions of economic struggle) and imported dramas (which lack local cultural context).
