Umm... I know why I don't watch historical dramas so much ... silly beards and strange hats (or in Japanese historicals silly hairdos) and hot sguys looks so ordinary in rl.

Except in Yoshitsune, where the JE boy gets to escape odd hair because it wouldn't further the fanservice.

The actors in Damo and Emperor of the Sea manged to make me not notice the hats and beards, really. But yeah, they can make you wish historical accuracy were a touch less important to TPTB.
