Actor Tu Long stated: “People have just watched Táo Quân. I don’t know how everyone felt, but for me, it was the end of a mission. This year’s Táo Quân may not have been complete without both ‘Nam Tào’ Xuân Bắc and ‘Bắc Đẩu’ Công Lý. What we did was an effort throughout the year, aiming to bring joy and anticipation to our audience.”
He added: “We might watch Táo Quân again, but right now, we’ve concluded it. I hope to bring happiness to the audience in the new year. Thank you, Táo Quân, for returning.”
The sadness over the absence of Actors Xuân Bắc and Công Lý is also reflected in the dialogue of the Social Táo character played by Actor Tu Long. In the show, he compares the absence of Nam Tào and Bắc Đẩu to a spring without fireworks.
2025 Táo Quân continues its familiar format, with the Táo gods reporting to Ngọc Hoàng at the beginning of the new year. This year, the program addressed current hot topics such as mergers, streamlining administrative structures, fluctuating gold prices, traffic congestion, traffic violation fines, the Baby Three toy trend, and pickleball.
Immediately after airing, 2025 Táo Quân received significant attention from viewers and sparked heated discussions on social media. Many praised the program using the phrase “top-notch, hilarious,” attributed to Actor Tu Long.

Viewers and bloggers also freely shared their impressions. Blogger Thanh Hằng commented: “It’s impossible to satisfy 100% of the audience, but in today’s context, 2025 Táo Quân bravely tackled many current issues. The script was excellent, touching on numerous topics with trending dialogue.”
Some viewers expressed satisfaction: “Fantastic, the program mocks a decade in one go, truly top-notch, hilarious,” “Táo Quân is exactly what I’ve been looking for,” “To fully appreciate Táo Quân, you need to follow current events and read news regularly.”
Actor Tu Long also mentioned that the biggest pressure when participating in Táo Quân is handling information and incorporating societal issues into the script. Some events occurred at the beginning of the year, while others were updated during filming.
He emphasized: “Táo Quân balances expressing unique perspectives with creating humorous satire, while remaining accurate and official. Overcoming these challenges has made Táo Quân a well-known brand. Artists involved in Táo Quân not only have professional responsibilities but also must have a deep understanding of societal issues.”
2025 Táo Quân has concluded, but its impact lingers in the hearts of viewers, leaving them with laughter and meaningful life lessons.
