Love in the Clouds

THE MOST AMAZING CDRAMA OF ALL TIME....

I'm writing this review after my 5th Rewatch....I literally can't move on from this drama even though it's been almost one year......No matter how many dramas I watch, I always go back to Ji Bozai and Ming Yi....Their chemistry, their love, their sacrifices are on a different level......I just finished my rewatch now; my heart is truly aching.....I can literally feel the pain in my heart that the drama ended.....it's only a drama which is finished here.....I won't see them again....Like I can't explain the feeling....
This is the only drama which has left me in this yearning state....whenever their edits come in front of me......i automatically smile and blush.....and when it's finished I feel hurt that It's only a drama.....Their acting was soo soo soo good and chemistry was so so so so so gooodd that it felt absolutely real......

Now I pray for only one thing......Please pair them again in another drama..... I don't care about the genre plz cast them again......I believe only then will I be able to move on from Ji Bozai and Mingyi.....and start my next yearning on that drama.....
Please Please Please.....now let's just wait....

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.

predictable change of sidecharacter/ignorant maincharacter

I dont know where to start with that one honestly.

the change of the character from Situ Ling/Chao Yuan is really predictable in my eyes.
Because of the female lead Ming Yi and her ignorant behaviour - she was cold, distant and didnt even try to understand her so called friend. Of course at some point everyone would turn around.
why they didnt came up with another solution. Even at the very end she just stared at him cold and distant. Just kick him down finally and you are done with him so my thoughts.
And with that I was not really happy about the ending Im honest. I dont want every character to have a good ending but what was that? A bad character developement on one side and a stating walk on the other side. But we are to believe in a really good love and enemy to lover thing. Where was the friendship? You cant say you are friend with someone and treat him like a nobody. Also from the empress and the others? At early point he was Situ Ling and nobody asked about what happened with him or why he turned or did bad things? Also, the little fox, where did she go? New llife? No revenge? Would have been a fine ending she would have appeared at the very end or at least made a "kill to save him" movement.

I dont kow, I have mixed feelings. Characteres were great, without any doubt and as mentioned character developement good on one side but on others it wasnt.
Costumes are awesome and the special effects too.

Searching for a plot

Despite trying really hard, I was able to watch three episodes. It's not a series that appeals to me. Secondly, I couldn't find a plot. Despite the excellent cast, good direction, and good visuals, the series didn't appeal to me. I think I couldn't adapt to it because I'm a middle-aged man. It seems like a series that might appeal to young people, especially young girls. I compared it to "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy," starring Esther Yu. I abandoned that series halfway through. I couldn't watch it. It felt like a children's series. I couldn't make sense of it. This one is the same. They're not exactly the same, don't get me wrong, I just compared them. I have no complaints about the actors. The direction and scenes are fine. It's a very colorful, harmonious series with dancing, flashy performances, and dazzling outfits. But the plot isn't there for me. I couldn't understand it, or at least it wasn't. It didn't appeal to me. I couldn't get into the plot. Anything could happen. I couldn't watch it. I forced myself. I watched three episodes, but it didn't work. It just didn't appeal to me. I didn't know what I was watching. I couldn't find it. I don't want to stop people from watching. Enjoy watching.

Anticipated drama falls a bit short

This was one of the most highly anticipated dramas of 2025, and while this wasn't a bad drama by any means, the fact that it was so highly anticipated means that it does end up falling bit short of my expectations.

Production-wise, everything was visually beautiful, from the costumes to the makeup to the set. However, it was definitely lacking plot-wise for me as the storyline felt overly shallow with a huge focus and screentime on villains that end up being killed way too easily. Oftentimes, side or background characters had to explain and reiterate plot points to the audience, which made everything less impactful when they don't trust the audience to understand something without explicitly saying it out loud. The identity reveal for the FL was also pretty anticlimactic considering how much they've built it up.

I think it's more of a failure of the writers when some scenes don't quite connect with the audience as much as it could, but I would say the two leads did a very good job with what they were provided, especially for intimate scenes. The leads truly had great chemistry and played off of each other very well, and was honestly what made the drama an enjoyable watch despite any plotty shortcomings.

This is a drama that would be perfect for beginners to xianxia, but maybe not so much for regular watchers as it reuses a lot of tropes.

Side note: Absolutely loved the OST, but especially that one main running theme song sung by HMH
