Dưới ô Cửa Sáng Đèn episode cut sparks massive viewer backlash

Dưới ô Cửa Sáng Đèn episode cut viewer backlash VTV3 fashion shop criticism

A preview of the final episode of the Vietnamese drama Dưới ô Cửa Sáng Đèn showed Dương embracing Trang, a scene that many viewers interpreted as rewarding an affair. The clip attracted over five million views and prompted millions of comments demanding the moment remain. In response, VTV3 edited the broadcast on 29 July, removing the embrace and ending the segment with only a silent glance between the characters.

Producers said the cut was necessary to avoid a wave of criticism and to keep the story’s focus on the main protagonists. The altered ending left Dương and Trang’s future ambiguous, while other plotlines, such as Diệu resigning from her company and opening a poorly received fashion shop, also drew heated discussion online. Viewers mocked the shop’s outdated designs, predicting its failure.

The controversy highlights the sensitivity of Vietnamese audiences to narrative choices that appear to condone infidelity, and it illustrates how broadcast decisions can be swiftly altered under public pressure.
