The plot of this drama is good, but the details are lacking. How can a poor family afford candles? Candles like those are only used by wealthy households, it's too unrealistic.
And then, the clothes of the poor family's children are all patched up, but look at how nice the clothes actually are.
The novel that left the deepest impression on me was when the female lead sold about three taels of wild boar meat and bought flour and refined rice, which only became popular during the Han Dynasty, but couldn't find Sichuan peppercorns that were available during the Western Zhou Dynasty.
It was also mentioned earlier that they couldn't buy oil, but suddenly the family ran out of oil and said they needed to go out and buy more. In our reality, we had to wait until rapeseed flowers came in for oil production to be scaled up.
Since it's already a fictional story, they should avoid emphasizing these details. If they do include them, at least get the historical timeline of the dynasties correct.
It would be difficult to broadcast without making these changes.
