Not only familiar faces such as Tran Khai Ca, Chuong Tu Di, Ngo Tran Vu, newcomers have also joined the cast of national stars like Isabelle Huppert, along with the veterans of the Vietnamese entertainment industry such as Vuong Chi Phi, Huy Anh Hong, and Vuong Le Van, directly mentoring the contestants.
Famous Contestant Showcase
Although the show has not yet aired, the trailer has already sparked interest online: “Everyone knows that the participants in this program, whether they are famous or not, just want to compete for attention, whether they are from a fading career or want to find their way back to the spotlight.”
The contestants brought scandals to the forefront, including Duong Tu (Huynh Thanh Y’s ex-boyfriend) – a once-popular figure who has now fallen from grace. Liu Tu Than, known for his “rhinoceros horn” appearance, has made many shocking statements, while Tu Khai Sinh has been involved in a love triangle drama with Truong Thien Ai and Co Luc Na Trat. Diep Dich, a star who has faced public backlash for “playing the role of a supporting actress,” also made an appearance in the show.
Many opinions suggest that the judging team lacks charisma, failing to find any compelling points during the contestant selection process. The production house has been criticized for including scandal-ridden celebrities, making the show a topic of contention.
Diep Dich’s return has sparked mixed reactions. She used to be a prominent figure in the industry but has stepped back due to public backlash against her controversial past. However, in recent years, she has been working behind the scenes but has not regained public favor.
Regarding Tu Khai Sinh’s appearance, netizens believe that if he performs well, he could have the opportunity to return to acting roles. However, achieving this is quite challenging, especially since he is often mocked online.
Liu Tu Than caused a stir with his overly dramatic performances, making his appearance both captivating and cringe-worthy, earning him the title of “rhinoceros horn.” Even with the advancements in cosmetic surgery technology, his looks remain hard to hide.
In the trailer for the show, Liu Tu Than appears with a bright smile due to cosmetic surgery.
He portrays Tuong Lieu in Truong Tuong Tu. “There is no sense of chemistry, just awkwardness, creating an impression that ‘this is not the right role for me.’ Compared to the film ‘Dien Kien Thu’, it’s like a different world,” viewers commented.
All the characters in the show seem to carry a burden that Duong Tu – the contestant who is said to be the “view magnet” of the program.
Duong Tu Stirs the Scene with Unexpected Appearances
In Tam Biet Tinh Yeu 4, Duong Tu boldly declared that after January 18, he would retreat from the spotlight. However, he unexpectedly reappeared on the show to shine under the limelight.
Using his hot popularity from his marriage to Huynh Thanh Y, Duong Tu continues to appear on screen, but he no longer possesses the radiant aura he once had.
In the trailer, Duong Tu also appeared singing alongside singer Hua Jai Ki in a segment from Phong Than 1, reviving the collective spotlight between Truong Vuong and Dat Ky.
Duong Tu’s appearance has helped the show gain immense viewership and sparked discussions, although most opinions are negative.
With the team of new actors in the third season, it seems that the creators are intentionally leaning towards sensationalism, transforming the Vietnamese entertainment industry into a more sensationalized space, often disregarding the audience’s viewing experience.
“Even the judging panel must be careful; I see Chuong Tu Di and Tran Khai Ca bringing a serious demeanor, sometimes even replacing the main judges. It is clear that some contestants have made the show lose its essence,” “I hope future shows can return to quality and focus on real talent instead of just creating drama for views,” netizens commented.
