For Dung Hon, being chosen by director - Meritorious Artist Do Thanh Hai to play Tao Quan was like a dream. He shared: "In 2016, I was able to step into the Tao Quan family with the role of a young multi-level salesman. After this "trial" role, Mr. Do Thanh Hai boldly assigned me the role of Thien Loi. Honestly, since I was little, I liked the Tao Quan program. When I entered the University of Theater and Cinema, I also dreamed of stepping onto the Tao Quan stage."
When the director "finalized" the role of Thien Loi, Manh Dung was so happy that he couldn't sleep.
