This comment is unnecessarily aggressive and largely misses the point of the article.
Explaining that a TV show is fictional does not invalidate an analysis of acting, storytelling, or production. That is exactly what the article is doing — it discusses historical inspiration (which is documented), production details, and actor preparation, all supported by interviews and available sources.
The statement that Tian Xi Wei “carries the drama” is clearly a subjective opinion — and I agree on that point. However, your claim that the male lead is the main reason people watch is also an opinion. Presenting one opinion as fact while dismissing another as “nonsense” is inconsistent.
Many people may indeed watch the show because of Zhang Ling He, but it is not accurate to say the drama would not work without him. There are many successful dramas without him, and personal preferences vary. I do like this actor, but I also dropped one of his dramas because I did not enjoy it.
Both lead actors — as well as the supporting cast — contribute to the success of the show. The performances, direction, cinematography, costumes, and overall production quality all play a role. Personally, I believe the story itself is strong enough that I would have enjoyed it with different actors as well — but that is simply my opinion, just like yours.
Finally, remarks about the article being “written by a woman,” “woke,” or calling the author a “Karen” are personal attacks. They are inappropriate, irrelevant, and weaken your argument rather than strengthen it.

Disagreement is fine. Disrespect is not.
