The show portrays the personalities of each character such as Thuy Kieu, Ma Giam Sinh, Tu Ba, Thuc Sinh, Tu Hai ... differently. Director Nguyen Tien Dung choreographed according to the language of the staging, but did not follow the chronological order of the Story of Kieu. In particular, the director chooses a few culminating events in Thuy Kieu's life. From the slanderous price of the silk seller, Vuong Ong's family fell into a miserable situation. Thuy Kieu had to fall twice in a brothel, twice as a servant, and hardship for 15 years.
In addition to the "nail (key)" characters, the play also fictions two more important characters, Nguyen Du (the character of the Pen puppet) and Dam Tien (the form of the Chinesse four-chord lute). This can be considered a very bright test of the dramatic structure – puppet. The transition scenes really bring a lot of emotions to the viewers.
Scenes are handled with pieces, engaging puppet shows, space, abstract and fanciful lighting combined with traditional music and contemporary dance, giving the audience the experience, the feeling is really impressive and unforgettable. In which, the tingling melodies have further depicted the fate of Kieu "three sunken seven floating".

More especially, with traditional puppetry, it will be difficult to attract and convey all the content of the story, it is difficult for the actor to fully portray the unjust and painful mood of Kieu, as well as of the many other characters. However, the confused experimentation - who made it easier for viewers to understand, and easier to focus on with Kieu's fate.
The success of the puppet show The fate of Kieu opened a new approach to the puppet theater, creating a breakthrough in creativity.
