Hikari Shimizu - Story of Yanxi Palace

Are you interested in Chinese historical dramas? Have you ever seen this drama, Story of Yanxi Palace? If you answer no, you should watch this drama right now! You will probably like this very much.

It is a Chinese historical drama which was broadcasted in 2018. It was also broadcasted in Japan from August to December 2022, and I watched it every day. Even after the broadcast, I still love it, so I review the recordings and videos on YouTube many times.


There are many reasons why I like this drama, but I would like to focus on three of them. First of all, all of this drama is beautiful. It actually uses the Forbidden City, a World Heritage site in China, and its costumes and accessories faithfully reproduce the splendor of that era.


Moreover, there are many scenes that are very simple and exciting, so anyone can easily understand and enjoy them. In addition, since it is a Chinese drama, all of the lines are in Chinese. It is very difficult to watch dramas in a language that you have never studied before, but it will be a great way to study Chinese for beginners because the same vocabulary and short lines appear over and over again.


There is a full version on YouTube, so if you are interested in it, you can watch it from the link :)

  3. I've been to 'the Forbidden City' before and it is indeed a place embued with extraordinary splendour. It would be fascinating to watch this drama, I am sure. David :-)
