Pursuit of Jade became one of the biggest historical C-dramas of 2026 with around 3.55 billion views.
Sounds enormous, right?
But when compared with the biggest costume dramas of the past five years… it only ranks No.8.
Some dramas crossed 4 billion views, while Love Like the Galaxy and Joy of Life Season 2 reached the incredible 5-billion-view level.
So which historical C-dramas truly dominated the streaming era?
