There’s also gorgeous historical C-drama “ The Empress of China.” I started watching it not because it focused on the most famous empress in China, Wu Mei Niang ( Fan Bingbing), but because of a more scandalous reason. Based on the life of the first female ruler of Silla, one of the three ancient kingdoms of Korea, it has some pretty heart wrenching stuff, especially the tragic love triangle (don’t worry, no spoilers here). While many palace dramas these days tend to focus on harem politics, there are also some dramas about famous female rulers (rare in ancient Asia since the patriarchy game was so strong). On the Korean side of things, “ The Great Queen Seon Deok” is amazing.
