Mary Sue drama at its worst!
As many people said... It's boring... Very different from Zhenhuan Zhuan.
Even worse... It has zero educational value. It's full of fake history. Now, it's okay to not stick to historical facts, but it shouldn't be done at the expense of other historical figures. Stealing credits from her son, stealing credits from her brother, stealing credits from her great great grandson. This is disgusting as too many people mistake it as historical fact!
The script was an insult to the audience inteligence. For example:
1. The son was smart when he's a child to show she's superior to Queen Hui. Later on, he turned stupid just so he could be dependent on her.
?????
2. Screaming like an idiot when her barbarian was attacked. She knew he was a deadweight, but her feelings took a priority over national interest. She should get rid of him like she did in history.
History???
What history???
In fact, the source materials of Legend of Mi Yue was The Great Qin Empire novel by Sun Haohui, which was like 20% history, 80% fiction. He hated the kings of Qin, so he made King Huiwen insane, King Wu stupid, and King Zhaoxiang a puppet. The problem was this Sun Haohui think the grand historian, Sima Qian, was a liar and his novel shows the "real" history of Qin *facepalm*. Even worse, he was a real professor, so he had certain degree of authority and his fans thought this novel was a real history. From the bullshit that was pulled out of Sun Haohui's ass, the great Queen Regent Mi Yue, who raised a generation of heroes, was born. In fact, this woman had never existed in history. There was no queen regent who ruled for 40 years. The real Queen Dowager Xuan, while having a bit of influence over her son, had never held real power.
So, not only the history of Legend of Mi Yue was wrong. It also unknowingly plagiariazed other novel.
