I envy you!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">[<strong>Ed. note:<\/strong> This essay contains some setup spoilers for <em>The Apothecary Diaries<\/em>.]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-apothecary-diaries-is-back-and-nows-the-perfect-time-to-catch-up-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>The Apothecary Diaries<\/em> takes place in a fictional country that\u2019s basically patterned after Tang dynasty China and follows Maomao, the adopted daughter of an apothecary, who studies medicine herself. She works in the red-light district, often helping courtesans and other brothel workers. After being kidnapped, she\u2019s sold into indentured servitude, working in the Imperial Palace\u2019s rear palace, where the emperor\u2019s concubines live. Initially, she keeps her head down, but when a medical mystery arises, Maomao can\u2019t help but poke her nose into solving it. She catches the attention of Jinshi, the eunuch who runs the rear palace\u2019s administration, who ends up promoting her to a lady-in-waiting and taste tester to one of the emperor\u2019s favored concubines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For the most part, the show takes on a new mystery every episode, usually focused on some sort of medical malady or mysterious death. Since it\u2019s a period piece, those medical puzzles often have compelling twists that modern viewers might not expect (for instance, Maomao uses cocoa beans to brew a powerful aphrodisiac, which definitely would work on people who haven\u2019t tried chocolate before). The mysteries themselves are intriguing, and Maomao\u2019s particular approach \u2014 morbid fascination combined with tenacious curiosity \u2014 makes them even more fun. She\u2019s all too eager to experiment with poisons and examine sick patients and dead bodies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-apothecary-diaries-is-back-and-nows-the-perfect-time-to-catch-up-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Slowly, the medical mysteries build up to political intrigue. Through Maomao, we learn more about the drama going on in the emperor\u2019s palace, from the rivalries between concubines to military geniuses with secret motives. That intrigue extends past the palace and into Maomao\u2019s previous life, especially after she learns about her father\u2019s secret connection to court life. It\u2019s the sort of plot that comes to a shocking head in the first season\u2019s finale, but looking back it\u2019s evident that it was all seeded in from the beginning. All of those seemingly disjointed medical puzzles weave into greater mysteries and political plots at hand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But what really makes <em>The Apothecary Diaries<\/em> so dang wonderful is Maomao herself. She\u2019d rather <em>not<\/em> get caught up in court politics, thank you very much. But nothing gets her going like a good medical mystery and a chance to test out new medicine and poisons. She swoons over the prospect of getting her hands on rare healing ingredients, but bristles when the concubines try to dress her up. She\u2019s also incredibly intelligent, and when she isn\u2019t gushing over poisons and remedies, she\u2019s coolly analyzing her surroundings and calculating her next move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Maomao is a gem of a character, and because she\u2019s so distinct, her relationships with the other characters shine even more. She talks candidly with the concubines about their lives (and even gives a sex talk to two of the newer ones). She understands the order of the Imperial Palace means that she needs to keep her head down and be respectful of her superiors, but at the same time, she\u2019s not afraid of them when it comes to voicing or defending her findings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-apothecary-diaries-is-back-and-nows-the-perfect-time-to-catch-up-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Toho Animation Studio, OLM\/Crunchyroll\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But the juiciest relationship is the one she has with Jinshi, who\u2019s just as cunning as she is. He maintains a flirtatious and carefree demeanor, but in reality, he carefully schemes behind the scenes to advance his own position and balance some secret duties. He\u2019s also completely smitten with Maomao, even though she thinks he\u2019s silly. But every time she glares at him, he melts a little. They have wonderful banter, both of them hiding bigger secrets from each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The first season ended with some of those big secrets coming to light, setting up some rich ground to dig into for the next season. <em>The Apothecary Diaries <\/em>is the type of show where each episode answers a bunch of questions, then immediately asks a dozen more \u2014 which is what makes it the type of show that had me eagerly clicking \u201cnext episode\u201d the moment the end credits rolled. And there\u2019s no better time to watch it than now, with a whole season to dive into and more coming out week by week. I can\u2019t wait for more medical mysteries, more political intrigue, and more Maomao.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Apothecary Diaries<em> is available to stream on Crunchyroll. The first episode of season 2 is out now, with new episodes premiering on Fridays.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/anime\/506598\/the-apothecary-diaries-watch-season-1\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Apothecary Diaries wasn\u2019t just my favorite anime of 2024, but my favorite show altogether.
