Maomao’s words reassuring Jinshi in his insecurity stirred reactions online such as, "It’s just so good," "That really gets me," "How could you not swoon at that," and "I love this line so much."

Furthermore, after the end of the Season 2 finale, the production of a sequel was announced, which was met with anticipation online: "I'm excited to see what happens next!" and "I can't wait!"

The anime "The Apothecary Diaries" is based on the light novel by Natsu Hyuuga. The story has also been adapted into manga, with the series surpassing 40 million copies in circulation. It is a mystery-solving entertainment set in the imperial court, where Maomao, the apothecary’s daughter with an unusual obsession with poisons and medicines, and the enigmatic and beautiful eunuch Jinshi, tackle difficult cases together.
