'Tao Quan 2024' was criticized, what did the actors say?

Tao Quan 2024 aired with many changes in both the script and the actors. This change did not please the majority of the audience, and many people even expressed disappointment. Not only was it commented as bland, the program was also criticized for being too crude in its advertising, inserting branded product promotion content into the characters' dialogue and actions.

Before the audience's reaction, Thanh Huong, the actress first appeared inThe Kitchen Gods, shared that she and the artists have all tried very hard:"I just try to do my job well. Changing the program or changing the cast is the responsibility of the producers and directors. We don't know. However, I think that all changes are calculated by the crew.”.

Thanh Huong also shared that being present in this year's program is very lucky for her, because participating in "Tao Quan" is the dream of many artists, many people want to appear in the program, no matter what position.

Thanh Huong confided:“I understand that our young artists still have many shortcomings. However, the newer and more inexperienced we are, the harder we try to do our part in the program.

During the time participating in 'Tao Quan 2024', we were instructed very enthusiastically by our colleagues such as Mr. Quoc Khanh, Ms. Tu Oanh, Mr. Do Thanh Hai... As new artists like us, we have tried very hard and have not been lazy at all.

As for not meeting the audience's expectations, we only know that we will try harder to improve ourselves. Honestly, we have never thought about replacing or comparing ourselves to the previous "Tao Quan" performers. The roles in the program have been their trademark for the past 20 years."

Actor Ly Chi Huy shared:“This year, I play the role of a resident in a mini apartment building where the Jade Emperor visits to check on the people’s lives. I feel lucky because I can still act in ‘Tao Quan’ with Mr. Quoc Khanh – an older brother who has guided us a lot.”

In fact, the change in personnel in 'Tao Quan 2024' has left a significant impact on our artists. The biggest impact on the remaining artists in Tao Quan this year is nostalgia. If the audience has been familiar with the images of the Taos over the past 20 years, then we are also very familiar with their performances and images."

Ly Chi Huy said that the remaining artists of the program also had to endure a lot of pressure from the innovation and change of the cast.: "This change makes us feel lost, worried and pressured. We can only try our best to bring the best quality program to the audience.

I think the change of 'Tao Quan' this year is a surprise. I, like many viewers, hope that 'the program in the coming years will have the appearance of the previous Tao brothers and sisters'.

Regarding the audience's comments on the program, Ly Chi Huy said:“We accept all opinions from the audience. Each artist in Tao Quan always strives to improve and meet the audience’s expectations. We hope that the audience will welcome the program.”
