Plerng Phra Nang is a remake of a 1996 drama of the same name also produced by Kantana Group. The script was based on M.R.Kukrit Pramoj’s 1969 nonfiction book The Fall of the Burmese (พม่าเสียกรุง) and Prince Damrong Rajanubhab’s Journey Through Burma in 1936: A View of the Culture, History and Institutions (เที่ยวเมืองพม่า). ^{[4] [5]}

When it is broadcast, Soe Win the great grandson of last King of Burma (Myanmar), Thibaw Min, has interviewed the BBC that his family was unhappy about this drama. Although the plot of the drama is about a fictional realm. But almost all replicas come from the last year of the Konbaung Dynasty. In the 19th century, part of the drama was similar to the historical events. The case of the massacre of the consorts together to eliminate 100 royal family members and asked the Thai authorities to ban this drama. But Chitralada Disayanon, drama producer explained that the drama did not bring any country's history directly. There may be only some layouts that are narrative in Thai perception. The part that is linked from other national histories. It's personal right to comment, and reiterated that. This drama is based on imagination.^{[8] [9]}
