Have you seen the Chinese series "The Story of Yanxi Palace"?
I’ve only watched the first episode on YouTube but it looks gorgeous. If you’ve seen it what did you think of it?

OK, just googled the name. Turned out I actually know about it.
That series is a meme in my country. There is so much hype here that screenshots of it become memes all over FB, although the meme fever kind of dies down recently.
I haven’t watched it though. I have no interest in Chinese medieval stories. But from a glance it looks like another generic Chinese palace story where all the women fight for the queen position. It’s an old trope in my place. I don’t really get the hype.
It’s quite an intriguing story, a murder mystery in the Forbidden City and the photography, the sets and the costumes are simply stunning. I can see why it is so popular throughout Asia. There is a version on Youtube with English subtitles. (I think that link should work),
