The show has the second worst viewerships rating Taiga drama since NHK launched its first historical drama show. The reason was stated that although younger generation of NHK drama viewers increased, the older generations received the show negatively due to the portrayal of Ieyasu being timid and the sympathetic portrayal of Lady Tsukiyama, contrary to the traditional image of both characters since Edo period. Furthermore, this show has garnered mixed views from history academics since it depicted many historical inaccuracies..[8]
