When it comes to TV dramas loyal to history, I think many people will think of Daming Dynasty 1566 directed by Zhang Li. Ming Dynasty 1566 tells the story between Emperor Jiajing and Hai Rui. The most eye-catching purpose of this drama is to analyze the relationship network of the Ming Dynasty very clearly, which makes people marvel at the Jiajing emperor who has been hiding in the harem for decades. Behind the scenes, he can still keep a clear grasp of the court's every move.

Although Emperor Jiajing studied Taoism in the harem, the politics, economy, military and people's livelihood of the Ming Dynasty were still firmly in his hands. It can be said that this drama describes this magical Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty very clearly. In addition to the director and screenwriter describing the relationship in the Ming Palace Museum clearly in the TV series, the story line of the whole TV series is also very clear. The TV series started from the emptiness of the national treasury, and then failed to change rice into mulberry. From this point until Jiajing's death, it can be said that the whole story is endless.

But no one is perfect, and the play is not over yet. Although the score of Douban in the Ming Dynasty was as high as 9.7, he failed in the selection of this drama, which can be said to be the biggest failure of this drama.

And the director of this drama, Zhang Li, I think he is a very good director of historical dramas, and his TV series is also one of the excellent TV series in historical dramas. In the process of becoming a republic, Zhang Li described an objective and fair Li Hongzhang to the world, and also showed in detail the magnificent history of the last 30 years of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China.
