The 2024 version of the TV series "The Case of Tang Di Gong" sparked a strong controversy among the audience after it was broadcast. The role of Di Renjie played by Zhou Yiwei in the play has received a lot of negative evaluations, and he failed to accurately capture and express the wisdom and aura of Di Renjie, a historical figure, and his performance style was criticized as too greasy, too many expressions, lacking calmness and restraint, which did not conform to the original book and the image of Di Renjie as thoughtful and insightful about world affairs. 
"The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" was accused of greatly deviating from the spirit of the original work written by Gao Luopei and undergoing magic reform, which disappointed many viewers who were loyal to the original work. There are logical loopholes in the story clues of the first episode, such as Di Renjie, who seems to be able to easily obtain a large amount of tenant information and eliminate suspicion through brief reasoning, which lacks authenticity and rigor, which is very different from Di Renjie's usual way of solving the case through in-depth investigation, meticulous investigation of the scene and rigorous logical reasoning. 
The play has also been criticized in terms of scene design, rhythm control, and character building, believing that the overall texture is not good, the plot advancement seems hasty and unnatural, and the way of catching and locking the suspect is not reasonable enough, which weakens the tension and coherence of the logical chain that a suspense detective drama should have. The choice and creative techniques of director Li Yunliang and screenwriter Jingyu have become one of the points of controversy, especially the decision on casting, which some viewers think is a big failure of the show. They believe that Zhou Yiwei's interpretation not only did not enhance the charm of Di Renjie's character, but may have destroyed this deeply rooted historical image.

Although from the perspective of today's technical production level and audience aesthetics, the picture, costumes, special effects and other aspects of this drama may not be as fine as modern dramas, its value in story telling, character building, and traditional cultural transmission cannot be ignored.
