The drama drew controversy for misrepresenting the creation of the New Taiwan dollar (NTD), by incorrectly depicting a scene in which American advisors recommended that Taiwanese officials adopt the NTD to address hyper-inflation in the country, when in reality, the Kuomintang-led government adopted the currency of their own volition.^[6] The drama's production team issued a joint statement for misrepresenting these historical facts.
