What makes Story of Kunning Palace worth watching
One of the highest-rated 2023 C-dramas.
Story of Kunning Palace represents a strong example of china historical from the 2023 production cycle. Chinese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Historical and Romance elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Bai Lu, Zhang Linghe, Zhou Junwei. It originally aired on Tencent Video, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
