Chinese drama The Story of Yanxi Palace was the most Googled TV show in 2018.
Set in 1700s China, it follows protagonist Wei Yingluo as she seeks revenge for the death of her sister.
The show has been a runaway success for iQiyi, a Chinese streaming service, where it has been viewed more than 15 billion times.

You do have to be careful to think about why they were Googled. Not always because they are good, but other reasons ,like — controversy or celebrity following. A good example is == the most googled actor, was Sylvester Stallone, of all people.=== Not for acting, but for his Body Workout business. Still, its nice to know the trends to explore.
