About The Apothecary Diaries
A blend of imperial palace history, medical science, and mystery, The Apothecary Diaries follows Maomao, a medicine expert and poison-obsessed young woman. One day, she is kidnapped and sold into servitude to the inner palace. Intending to keep a low profile, she reluctantly helps the Imperial Consorts and their children upon hearing about a “curse.” She uses her medical knowledge and built-up poison tolerance to serve as a food-taster, but finds herself mixed in political troubles.
The first season focuses on Maomao’s life in the inner palace, while the second season focuses more on deeper politics and larger conspiracies. The third season will focus on an impending famine within the Pleasure District.
The Apothecary Diaries‘ first two seasons can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
