The following is a table that includes a list of the total ratings points based on television viewership.
Anachronistic elements:
1) Food: Maize and peanuts did not exist in Three Kingdoms China
2) The characters sat on chairs instead of kneeling on mats, thus they all kept their shoes on when indoors
3) Paper should have been quite common already, yet the various books are in bamboo
