A replica of Daqing Palace, where the emperors and his government officials discussed the state affairs during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), was built in Hengdian as one of the major shooting sets, according to Li.
In addition to recreating the dynasty's architecture, the crew has also sought guidelines from historians specializing in the Song Dynasty as well as cultural relic experts in Henan province's Kaifeng, previously the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, the drama has received mixed reviews online, with a lot of netizens commenting that the plotline has been moving a bit fast, losing logical coherence and making the personality development of the characters less convincing.
