Many of the historical facts were incorrect. Firstly, Hongxi's empress (Grand Empress Dowager) died in 1442 and that was before Zhengtong emperor went to war with the Mongols and got captured in 1449. Jintai emperor was not the son of Empress Hu. In fact Empress Hu died in 1443 and that was before Zhengtong emperor went to fight the Mongols in 1449. In fact Empress Dowager Sun did not have much influence over Zhengtong emperor. It was Grand Empress Dowager that was the regent when he was 7 years when he was enthroned.
The director doesn't seems to understand war tactics used. The use of cavalry and infantry were incorrect. Typical Chinese war movies that made the mistakes of soldiers fighting each other with kungfu scences. The real fact was that they fight in formations supported with artilleries and archers.
A complete friction left with only the actual character names the major event dates that are correct. What a waste with such a distortion.

Season 2 is basicaly just a rerun of season 1

Season 1 was nice and interesting but Season 2 is basicaly just a rerun of season 1. The most absurb point is that President Do is now Chairman Do and then the rerun of feud between Kim and Do.... The story starts to get stale as it ran out of ideas in season 2.
The ridiculousness and unprofessionalism of doctors are just too exaggerated to the point they became just unbearable to watch. Boring and I started to just fast forward to finish Season 2 ASAP. A typical problem with season 2 when audiences expect more from season 1 but dissapointed with lack on ingenuity and new ideas.

Initially was great and then it just start to get lame

Initially it was interesting and I started to get addicted but after a while, it started to get lame as the writer just recycle the plot where consort Xian kept annoying the Emperor and then tit for tat and it just kept repeating. Then the contradiction of repeating being framed but kept being nice and kept repeating again d again. I think the writer ran out of idea. The story did not move much as it just go round and round.
The writers of Chinese drama need to be more creative and stop using old lame and contradicting plots. It is already 2020 and audiences want better story. Stop wasting time and repeating same plots to drag out the episodes.

The most ridiculous drama

This is the most ridiculous drama I ever watched. The memory loss once is already ridiculous and lasted 11 episodes before he regain his memory. Then when he regained his memory, but lost the last 3 months memory. What a stupid plot. Looks like there is a memory switch.. Lol. Then the ridiculousness of the step mother than refuses to moved out. The worst is the contradiction plots, excuses and dumb reasoning by PDD and LYK after he regained his memory but loss the last 3 months memory that makes your blood boils. I am not sure how the writer can write such a story.... Childish and utterly ridiculous.

The first half of the drama is reasonable. Then it started to go down hill. First with the Jim Carrey acting rubbish from uncle Zhan. Then followed by Sinuo 180 degree turn about. The worst is the standard script in all Chinese drama. All chinese writers seems to use the same textbook. .... when someone found he or she has illness and instead of discussing with love one to overcome difficulties, he or she will hide and leave him or her because for fear of causing him trouble. All this with the excuse of loving him or her.... what a load of BS. This is so childish and lame. Be more creative and stop using standard textbook.

In order to make it a comedy the story writer tried using ridiculousness to achieve it. However,  it failed miserably. It is absolutely rubbish. I just cant comprehend how this drama can be produced. The producer must be thinking of using Zanalia'so fame to sell. The story is so badly written, i have to fast forward to skip the rubbish story.  On the bright side Zaniala Zhao acting was good as usual but is a pity she was associated with such a trash drama.  Her acting is great and able to act to project happiness, nativity and sadness... good acting is the only consolation.
