The Story of the Young Mao Zedong" achieved impressive results just one day after its premiere, breaking a viewership rating of 1.5. Netizens expressed that this is the only TV drama in recent years that they watched without skipping through and still enjoyed.

First and foremost, it is worth contemplating the reasons behind the popularity of revolutionary historical dramas at the end of the year. As a genre that can evoke emotions and provoke thought, revolutionary historical dramas tend to attract attention more easily. The quality of a drama, the level of its screenwriting, and the performances of the actors all require evaluation from the audience. Some people believe that viewership ratings may not truly reflect the audience's preferences and that there may be some manipulation or artificially boosted rankings, raising important questions that need to be further examined.

Lastly, for viewers, learning to approach television dramas in a more rational manner is not only a matter of aesthetic enhancement but also a means of supervising the television drama market. When choosing which TV dramas to watch, viewers can focus more on the depth of the plot and the ways it is expressed, rather than solely relying on viewership ratings. However, viewers also need to maintain a more rational perspective when appreciating television dramas, not allowing themselves to be influenced solely by singular metrics and truly experiencing the cultural feast that television dramas can offer.
