C-drama Story of Yanxi Palace is the Most Google Searched Television Show in 2018

Congrats to the Qing dynasty C-drama Story of Yanxi Palace which is confirmed to be the top Google searched television show around the world. The search engine released country specific search results but also a worldwide top 10 for the various categories and it was the summer Yu Zheng produced court drama Story of Yanxi Palace that had all the fingers typing it into Google to find out more. I have no interest to watch a Yumama drama even one that broke tons of buzz meters over the hot summer months but it certainly didn’t garner so many eyeballs if it was not a fun watch. Yanxi was the only East Asian drama to make the Google worldwide top 10, but for some notable regional searches where K-dramas made the list it was in South Korea (of course) and Taiwan, but in Japan the top 10 television show searches were all J-doramas. Check out some more search results below.

  • Congratulation well deserved. Yanxi's palace literally is the best drama of this year. Highly recommended guys.

  • Yanxi Palace is super addictive and fast-paced, with very engaging characters you will love and hate. The cinematography, props and costumes are superb! It gained a lot of international fans, so am not surprised it topped the Worldwide Google search. Congrats!

  • I have been waiting for an article on Yanxi Palace. The drama is AMAZING and been smashing whatever possible records out there. No big name and relying totally on the great plot, story and awesome acting and not to mention great aesthetic values from the props, sets to the costumes. The female protagonist Wei Ying Luo is definitely the best I have seen in recent years. Smart, unapologetic and badass. To me, the actor Nie Yuan who portrayed the emperor really is the star of the drama and all the young actors namely Wu Jin Yan and Xu Kai are really impressive. Am so happy for the success of Yanxi.

  • I don't usually watch period dramas,nor dramas which are 70 episodes long, but this was one fabulous piece of work!!

    The acting, the characters, costumes, sets...spectacular.

    Considering that the story is focused on the king and his harem, this was a story that could have been boring and repetitive, however the story was captivating and each episode ended with you wanting to know what happens next.

    It was refreshing to see a strong female character, who remains unchanging till the end.

    Definately my favourite drama this year.

  • Wow it must be good! I avoid watching c drama because of the long episode. But I dropped a couple of kdramas after watching few episodes, though I might pick it up later. But surprisingly, I finished watching Legend of Yunxi, and I don't want to watch any other dramas in between it.

  • 2018 certainly belongs to Yanxi Palace.
    I don't normally follow the hype but this palace drama certainly lived up to its hype. The plot is fast moving, the characters are engaging and I appreciate the inclusion of feminism such as the strong sisterly bond between WYL and Empress Fuca that surpassed any love for a man. And I also enjoy the love story between the emperor and the female lead. I guess many enjoy the drama due to the strong lead female character which is really refreshing and relatable to modern viewers. Congrats Yanxi team and really is the best drama this year.

  • I don't normally watch Cdramas and avoid period dramas like the plague. But have to say the production value is superb. What I find astonishing is that if I screenshot any scene, the background and costume is just so gorgeous.

    And yes have no clue who the actors are but they are so good. And the palace storyline moves so fast and is so slick.

    Really, really good drama.
