News on December 9,Recently, the old drama "Ming Dynasty 1566", which was broadcast in 2007, has become popular on online platforms, with a rating of 9.8 on Douban."The Ming Dynasty 1566" is a historical drama that first aired in 2007. After experiencing an initial cold reception in the market, it counterattacked ten years later and became a phenomenon-level work, and was eventually recognized as the "ceiling" of domestic dramas.

Not only is it the pinnacle of domestic TV dramas, but in the entire Douban TV drama rating list, the 9.8 score of "Ming Dynasty 1566" is only lower than the 9.9 scores of the second and third seasons of the British satirical comedy "Yes, Minister".

"The Ming Dynasty 1566" was released in 2007 and was directed by Zhang Li. However, one of the core of this drama is the screenwriter Liu Heping. He is also the screenwriter of two other high-scoring TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "All Quiet in Peking". These have also established Liu Heping's status as the number one historical drama screenwriter in the country. It is difficult for anyone to surpass him so far.
