Hark Tsui's Judge Dee has more resemblance to Sherlock Holmes than the real Dee in history. (He probably got his inspiration from Robert van Gulik's "Judge Dee" series*.) Never mind the historical details, you know it will be entertaining. (Look at those costumes!) My only complaint is, how come Empress Wu looks like Lao-lao in "A Chinese Ghost Story"?
* My favorite van Gulik is the "Nail Murder", followed by the "Bell Murder".
