Where is God? God vividly shows the operation of officialdom and the struggle for power.
This drama even ended other dramas' greed for power and politics.
From Emperor Jiajing to the Cabinet, and then to local dignitaries and middle-and lower-level officials, no one is absolutely clear and muddy, and no one can have the help of Golden Finger.
In the whirlpool of power, everyone is a mortal body, even if power is in hand, they are anxious.

Some people say that in front of it, Game of Thrones can only be renamed Battle of Thrones.
The struggle for political power in this drama emphasizes the mutual containment and checks and balances of various forces.
This applies even now.
The officialdom wisdom and philosophy of life contained in the play are also the reasons why some viewers will brush it repeatedly.

The only fly in the ointment is that the costumes in this play are not elegant enough.
