So I’m a little behind on all my dramas some that I intend to watch I just haven’t had the bandwidth to start and that includes recently premiered period drama Story of Kunning Palace. Starring Bai Lu and Zhang Ling He, the drama was abruptly pulled from premiere in May the day off and then suddenly released in November now so the push and pull has been a tease for eager fans.

This positive reception for Kunning Palace is unfortunately for the two leads not coming at a good time for their reportedly offscreen romance, industry insiders are saying the two dated for close to a year after filming the drama but recently broke up hence the lack of promos for this show. It doesn’t seem acrimonious though or at least both are professionals and handling love and work separately.
