It’s understood that nothing lasts forever and everything must come to an end, but the news that Táo Quân has ceased production still leaves netizens and many others feeling nostalgic, as it has become an essential spiritual dish on the 30th nights. However, the end of Táo Quân also marks the beginning of a new program, Táo Quân Vi Hành. And after it aired on the recent Ông Công Ông Táo day, it’s quite disappointing that the reactions from the online community have not been very positive.
Accordingly, alongside a few positive comments, there are still many netizens who feel that although the program features familiar faces like artists Xuân Bắc, Công Lý, Quốc Khánh in the roles of Nam Tào, Bắc Đẩu, and Ngọc Hoàng, and retains its characteristic humor, the feeling is just not as “vibrant” as before. Additionally, the fact that it is not aired on the 30th of Tết leaves many feeling disappointed and unfulfilled, unable to evoke the same emotions as in previous years.
Indeed, the image of the Táo presenting to Ngọc Hoàng on the 30th night and summarizing almost all the notable details and events of the year in society has become something very familiar to all of us. Therefore, it’s easy to understand the online community’s feelings when Táo Vi Hành is still a new product, and although the faces are still the same, it no longer carries the flavor and meaning as when aired on the 30th night of Tết in the past. However, perhaps we should gradually adapt and let Táo Quân remain a beautiful memory in everyone’s recollection.
