The show Meeting at the end of the year - Tao Quan 2025 immediately became a hot topic on social networks when it aired.
When the first part of the show aired, the image of People's Artist Tu Long making a cross-eyed face caused a stir on social media. This was followed by a series of sarcastic and profound statements from the Tao cast, played by People's Artist Tu Long, Meritorious Artist Chi Trung, Meritorious Artist Quang Thang, and artist Van Dung.
Viewers left many comments such as "Tao Quan 'teases' for 5 years combined", "Watch and laugh from beginning to end", "Every sentence is profound, witty and humorous", "The issues are cleverly and naturally integrated"...
Regarding music, last year's hot songs like "Don't make my heart hurt" (Son Tung M-TP) also resounded on the Tao Quan stage.
The song "If you don't keep it, don't look for it" (Bui Cong Nam) was changed to "find it or drown it" and played before Heaven searched for talented people. The songs "Rebirth" (Tung Duong), "Turn on love" (Tang Duy Tan), "Sitting on the boat's side", "Co doi thuong ngan"... were also used as background music.
Notably, Rose’s hit “APT.” also resounded with a humorous and witty “eating ham and pate” version. This is a song that Vietnamese audiences of all ages loved in 2024.
This year's program is said to have increased its criticism and mention of many social phenomena. The Taos mentioned many "hot" issues such as many abandoned hospitals, high-class urban areas without residents, pedestrian tunnels where many people sleep overnight or have many syringes...
Some shortcomings in bidding for medical supplies, the story of "fake" statements... that emerged last year were also inserted into the conversations of the Tao cast.
This year, the Traffic God has become a "wave-making" face on social networks thanks to a series of humorous and witty lines. Sayings like "I can't answer when traffic jams will stop. I suggest that if traffic jams are too bad, motorbike taxi drivers should abandon their motorbikes and switch to carrying passengers"; "In the future, fines will be increased 30-40 times, including fines for pedestrians. If you cross the lane, you will be fined 3-5 million, if you don't bring money, your slippers will be confiscated for 3 months", "I have a hot temper, I always put my own interests above those of society"...
Many positive points of the past year were recounted through the lens of the stage such as GDP growth of more than 7%, inflation control, gold price stabilization; new metro line opened; Vietnam team won ASEAN Cup...
However, some opinions say that the acting of the young cast is still far from that of the veteran artists.
