Love in the Clouds

The drama captivates you from the very first episode

The drama is an absolute delight! It popularity is 100% justified. For me, historical cdramas are something new, I turned a blind eye to them for a long time because of my prejudices, but I decided it was time to give it a chance. Everyone declared in unison that this was the best drama in Chinese cinema this year. As a result, from the very first episode, I was drawn into the viewing cycle. I don't know what exactly fascinated me about this drama, but my inner feeling won't let me lie about how much I liked the drama and the characters.
Ming Yi and Ji Bojai are really a couple created in heaven, the actors did an amazing job of conveying all the love and care of their characters. The chemistry between them is just crazy, I’d like to see their couple being happy more and more! The plot is so twisted, but it arouses more interest. Events are changing at an incredible rate. I didn't expect the turn of events that happened in episode 30 at all.
Definitely recommend for everyone to watch! The episodes flew by unnoticed!

I really wish I could give this a 9 or 10 but...

The story was perfect, probably one of the best fantasy dramas I've ever seen UNTIL, they simply regress most of their progression as characters and couple for some episodes for definitely not good enough reasons, SPECIALLY after all they went through already.

I'll try to explain without spoiling anything, but it's like they spend a lot of time building their trust for each other, having it broken once, and then solving misunderstandings by proving how much they truly care for each other, rebuilding this trust, just for having it broken AGAIN for... reasons. And from there is basically 6 to 8 chapters of pure needless and frustratingly slow angst. I know this is somewhat standard for romfan chinese dramas, but this one feels specially jarring because it was PEAK AND ALMOST PERFECT until that moment. The characters were smart, there were no plot holes, no dumb misunderstanding, everything literally made perfect sense until that point. And honestly, the characters already went through what should have been the ultimate test to prove themselves for each other. They even share a very specific dialogue that should mean that there'll be no way for them to simply 'go back' to how they were before. And then shit happens, everything dumbs down a little, we go over the same problem for the third and fourth time, the pacing which was great tripped big time and never really got as good as that point, even when it does get better again.

I not saying all of this to say i didn't like this drama, on the contrary, I'm giving this a 8.5 due to my pure love to the main couple's chemistry, the characters, and the somewhat perfect story they had going until certain point. But honestly, it was so good that when the problem happened, it felt so much more disappointing.

But still i recommend it a lot! Now that I've vented, I'll talk about THE GOOD THINGS (besides its greatness until a specific point)
- Main couple chemistry TO THE ROOF!! It's in my top 3 at least.
- Definitely a how to write a female character done right. I love how the FL can be feminine, sweet and very powerful and inteligent at the same time, in a very natural way. Something a bit rare in this genre.
- The make up and clothing of the main cast was very pretty, detailed and purposeful. I specially love everything about 27's characterization and he is not even a main character.
- Creative story and background. The worldbuilding is a lot more creative than the common 'heaven realm x demon realm (or "animal realm") we see in most romfan c-dramas. Very interesting.
- Great music. You can feel already the quality from these dramas when they have specific music for specific moments and characters. It feels special.

One of the best enemies to lovers stories ever!

Honestly, I don't even know where to start with this drama! It was perfection, from start to finish! Lu Yuxiao and Hou Minghao's chemistry was literally off the charts in this, and I also adored the side characters in this drama as well.

I also loved that some of them got their happy ending <3 This drama had me giggling and kicking my feet at how utterly shameless Ming Yi and Ji Bozai are, but also had me bawling my eyes out at the angst! The angst was so heart wrenching, and I hope that Lu Yuxiao and Hou Minghao got their flowers for how incredible their acting was! Lu Yuxiao is a phenomenal actress, and the way that she acts in sad scenes??? SO GOOD!! like you can feel every emotion :(( and Hou Minghao??

The way that he's able to express so many emotions with just his eyes is honestly insane. He didn't always have to show his emotions outwardly on his face, because his eyes honestly did a lot of the work. You could just feel and see all the emotions in just his eyes alone. He's so expressive!

The love story between Yan Xiao and Mu Tian Ji (the Princess of Jixing Abyss) was also so beautiful?? Their story honestly had me in tears, and the angst between them was equally as devastating as Ming Yi and Ji Bozai's! Their love was so beautiful, and I honestly really enjoyed seeing their chemistry as well <3

Oh and Situ Ling..... man I have never felt so conflicted over a villian before. He was honestly so freaking sweet and cute but I kinda hate that they made him turn evil. I really wish he didn't turn evil, because I think that there was so much wasted potential with his character.

Overall, this drama had me bawling my eyes out and it devastated me in every way, but the ending was so worth it!! The ending is literally so freaking amazing and I loved how it ended <3

It’s not just a drama. It’s a masterpiece.

I wish I could erase this drama from my mind just so I could watch it all over again—again and again. Every scene, every glance, every subtle moment between the leads feels like it’s crafted to pierce your heart. The love they feel for each other isn’t rushed or shallow; it’s layered, delicate, and painfully beautiful. It’s the kind of love that makes you sigh, smile, and sometimes even tear up, because it feels so real, so intense, and yet so tender. You find yourself holding your breath during quiet moments, anticipating each touch, each word, each shared look that seems to speak more than dialogue ever could.

It’s not just a C-drama, it’s an experience, a journey through love so pure, so patient, so overwhelming, that it feels unforgettable. Every moment is carefully designed to make you feel, to make you ache. If you haven’t watched it yet, consider yourself lucky, because discovering this masterpiece for the first time is a feeling unlike any other.

It’s not just a drama. It’s a masterpiece.

Love In The Clouds(2025) is a great fantasy. mystery, romance wuxia with Hou Ming Hao (as Ji Bo Zai) and Lu Yu Xiao (as Ming Xian / Ming Yi) in the leading couple’s role.

Best Historical Romance Cdrama of the Year 2025

At first, before the drama was released, I looked at some of the clips and I already think that I should really watch this drama, I know it would be good. When it came out, I was so hyped but due to my busy schedule for school, I had no choice but to resist on pressing that subscription button. All my social media were full of LITC edits, I was too obsessed with it and I kept on wishing day by day that holiday would be so near already. Finally, when I'm already done with my exams and other stuffs, I immediately watch LITC, and I did not expect that it would be so much better than what I had initially excpected. I was a bit sure that this may be the drama of the year, but one thing made me kind of hesitate. That is the ending. I know that historical cdrama nowadays are full of sad ending or not open ending, so I was expected that this would lead to that kind of ending. But what made me shocked was that turns out not only it was a happy ending, it was also not a rushed one! After watching all the episodes, I was so sure that I made the right choice, and my money did not go waste. So that made me decided that LITC is the best historical romance cdrama of the year 2025.

This was my first ever c-drama and I'm afraid I've set the bar too high...XD. I loved everything about this show, especially the cast and the insane chemistry between the two main leads. I've grown so attached to everyone's personalities and backstories, and I'll be sad to let them go now that the show is over. Hou ming hao stole my heart and Jibozai seriously is the dream man. I loved the yearning, pining and slow burn, and I even shed a few tears when Jibozai remembered how Mingyi liked scallion pancakes and bought her some on their first "date." The plot never had me bored, and I really admired how there were constantly plot twists that kept pushing the story's momentum forward. Side note, I never knew I would see so much blood being coughed up in a show LOL.
