One of the Best C-Drama of 2025 !
Acting was on pint. Chemistry was beautiful. Laughed, cried, and loved with these characters. LuYuXiao is my favorite female actress as of now. Hou Minghao is such a great actor, really a perfectionist at heart. This is a drama ill definitely be rewatching over and over again. Behind the scenes videos are just as great as the drama itself. The bind this cast shows is so wholesome and fun. Would love a variety show with this cast.Was this review helpful to you?
入青云 Love in The Clouds! Definetly Recommended
I loved every second of the series. Each character was amazing in their own way. It was my first time watching the female lead, and I really liked both her and her acting. But my favorite was the 27 二七 可爱的猫. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this show I definitely recommend it! 〈3Was this review helpful to you?

Do the ends justify the means?
I like this show. It’s a good Netflix show that has 36 episodes and approximately 45 minutes each. Ming Yi (ming xian) is the FL who loses the Qingyun tournament to the ML Ji Bozai after a seven year win streak. She was always been disguised as the crown Prince and because of our loss,This causes her to be abandoned by her people and she then wants to seek revenge against the ML because she believes he poisoned her.. she turns up in his realm as her original female self and it turns out he didn’t poison her, but it was her scheming brother who wanted the crown Prince title for himself. They eventually work together and become a really good team and I really enjoyed the chemistry between them even though the female lead was a bit infuriating at times and it doesn’t annoy me how the heroes are so passive when it comes to dealing with the villains and with their emotions and feelings. It took me quite a long time to get through this because I wasn’t compelled to binge watch one episode after another so I ended up watching a few going to another drama and then coming back.. the one thing that really did bother me was the MLS master Bo Yulan who incidentally was the FL’s Auntie. The main problem I have is no matter how righteous , kind and decent she was she ultimately nearly killed a baby. She then abandoned this baby into the pits of hell (our ML) and then took him as her apprentice to help him. They reconciled all this quite neatly but ultimately the story framed her as one of the good guys when actually she was the scummiest of scumbags going because of that act of horrendous abuse and neglect. The reason I mentioned this is because the writers clearly wanted us to sympathise with her and always played soft sad music to show the struggle that she’s been through but I’m sorry I find her behaviour absolutely disgusting so the ends do not justify the means at all. The way the story framed it was poor in my opinion and shows a lack of basic human decency to paint her as being so virtuous yet flawed.Was this review helpful to you?
REVIEW??? MORE LIKE MY FEELINGS!!!
I’ve been waiting for this drama ever since I first saw Lu Yu xiao’s stills from the filming site. Honestly, I’ve never crazily anticipated a drama like this before, not even "Lovely Runner" (which is still my #1 favorite). But this one definitely made it to my top list, even surpassing, "Burning Flames", and now holds the first spot among my favorite CDramas!After waiting so long, when it finally started airing, the first few episodes felt good but nothing too extraordinary. But as the story progressed, especially from episodes 9 and 10, I completely fell in love with it. From then on, the first thing I did after returning to the hostel from classes was watch the new episode 😂 and then dive into MDL and Twitter comments and theories 😭. I truly enjoyed the whole, Love in the Clouds era!
I could only make a few edits because of my busy schedule ( I have a drama fanpage in Instagram : id : kworld_haengbog) . I really wish this drama had aired when I was free, I would’ve made sooo many edits and enjoyed it even more. Anyway, I swear I’ll rewatch it and make plenty of edits once I get some free time (hopefully soon)!
And as for my beloved MingZai ❤️🩹 (Hou Minghao and Lu Yu xiao), what a magical pair! If I exaggerate a little, I’d say they had the best chemistry of the century 😁. It might sound over the top to some, but that’s how it feels to me.
I’d absolutely love it if you all watched this drama too.
For me, it’s a MASTERPIECE! ❤️❤️❤️

Crazy in Love
I started watching this on Netflix when it only had a few episodes. Big mistake. I should have waited! The waiting game for new episodes was really hard. I’m a fan of the FL since watching her in My Journey to You drama when she was paired with my fave Cheng Lei. I had never paid attention to Hou Ming Hao before. I did watch him in the Lost Tomb but his acting there didn’t really caught my attention. Now, after watching this drama, I can say I’m officially a fan. He was so good here. Everyone was right when they said that he was way better here than his Back from the Brink drama where his acting was a little wooden. The FL Ming Yi was really cute and I love how she slowly fell for Ji Bozai. At first, I didn’t like how she was using Ji Bozai to get to the Golden Millet Dream, but then again Ji Bozai was the same who was also using her. But I’m glad they didn’t hurt each other. I hate toxic couples in other dramas who hurt each other. It makes my heart ache when they do that. Anyway, they formed a bond along the way. I love the fake relationship they had and it slowly blossomed. I love it when they save each other and are completely in sync and just know what to do in certain moments. And the kisses while they were at the pool? *chef’s kiss* So hot. I was like OMG, my heart, be still. There was also another scene at the beginning of episode 23 where he said, “Say my name” while making out by the bedroom door. I melted into a puddle of goo. I just love them together. That scene where they walked the magpie bridge to carve their names on the marriage stone to prove their identities and their love. From there, they now share a heart imprint. The way Ji Bozai took all the lightning hits and he was so persistent when he kept carving Ming Yi’s name. The dedication he had at that moment even though he knew deep down her name wasn’t really Ming Yi. So many hot moments. Episode 25 was my most favorite scene because I was smiling and giggling like crazy. He suspects that she is the real Ming Xian. She pointed the sword artifact she forged and pointed it at his throat. He pulled her towards him and kissed her. After that he asked her if Ming Xian was still in the way. He’s jealous of the person who’s actually in front of him. But of course he doesn’t know that. Never a dull moment in this drama. I would go on and on about how I love this drama so much but it’s not enough space, to be honest. I enjoyed and loved the whole drama. The setting, the CGI, the costumes, the acting skills, and the music were all so well done. Great job to the whole crew! Thank you for giving us a perfect happy ending. I highly recommend this drama and has a special place in my heart. This is my number one on my top list of Chinese fantasy dramas.Was this review helpful to you?
Not very profound stories, but still so engaging and heartwarming.
Just saw the works of the two screenwriters and I’ve liked them all… no surprise this one is at the same level, or even better. It’s really a story written by two women… you can tell Ji Bozai is just…perfect? KkkGreat show! It’s not gonna change the chemistry of your brain, and you can tell they made cuts in some plots (especially the side characters) but it was well made, you get closure for all of the storylines… is absolutely well delivered!

The chemistry!!
I’ve watched many cdramas and for some reason Hou Minghao and Lu Yuxiao’s chemistry is the best. It feels the most natural compared to other leads. It almost as if they are so immersed or they also have a thing irl. Overall the plot was definitely really nice and wish it had some missing pieces but the plot honestly made it watchable due to the leads.Was this review helpful to you?

Romantic comedy, action and twisted plot
All characters well played, foremost ML and FL have a great chemistry, mesmerizing look.ML (Ji Bozai) has a great facial expression; he can express all feelings and connections without speech, just through his eyes.
I think the director succeeded in selecting all players for both main roles and supporting roles. The makeup artists have a great job; all of them are beautiful.
Plot: Until episode 30, this series has a smooth plot, but after that, it's too rushed as if it should end at episode 36. I hate it was ends.
Hopefully, there will be another drama for this couple. So Love it !!!

a great show that can hold its ambition!!
I was not expecting this show to become one of my favourite cdramas!!the opening fighting scene and the overly flirtatious pilot made me almost drop this show because i was 't sure where it was going... but So glad I continued... quickly, we realize the plot is so engaging and the characters feel genuine.
While it has the usual tropes about identities, the evolution of the leads was a satisfying watch!
Not only is the storyline and twists well done, a lot of surprises along the way, but the pace is also flawless!
the title of my review says it was an ambitious show: I feel the production was ambitious in creating the story of two very strong leads, ming yi and ji bozai, and they didn't fail.
From the ost, to the chemistry, to the support cast, the cgi... all well done!
I think it's important to mention that for strong main leads, dramas often fail them in creating arcs or a few seasons where they act out of character and suddenly they are dum, or frustrating just for the plot... This show had the plot AND character development. ( for ming yi there are even more nuances)

Cliff hangers every episode!
I’m only 12 episodes in and this is probably one of my favorite dramas of 2025! Watching this while its airing is a damn struggle. The plot is so thrilling that you wouldn’t want to stop watching. The visuals are insane too. The ML and FL look great together, even the 2nd leads are so cute together as well. There are so many eye candies. I’m not too fond of historical fantasies as they sometimes look way too dramatized—but this drama makes the visual effects very interesting. I wonder what can beat this?Was this review helpful to you?
A Story So Powerful, I’m Getting It Tattooed
I started this drama back when it only had around 12 episodes, and I didn’t expect to get this attached. The main couple’s chemistry is just so good, and even the side stories hit hard. It’s officially my top drama now and the first one I’ve ever rated this high. I just had to leave a review. I hope you’ll love it as much as I did!❤️I loved it so much that I’m actually planning to get a forearm sleeve tattoo inspired by Heavenly Grief (Tiān Bēi) from the drama — not the words, but the artwork. I know Tiān Bēi means deep sorrow, but for me, it represents pain as a source of strength. Ji Bo Zai and Ming Yi showed that what was meant to destroy them only made them stronger and more capable of fighting for love. It’s a reminder that even our darkest moments have meaning—they can turn into strength and resilience.
If you ever plan to get one too, I’d love to see it—feel free to message me if my comment or the drama inspired you.
It’s honestly sad that the drama’s over. I’m really gonna miss everything about it—the story, the emotions, and especially Ji Bo Zai and Ming Yi. This one’s gonna stay with me for a long time and will always have a special place in my heart.🙇🏻♂️🥰

My Honest Feedback
My Honest FeedbackFirst and foremost, I've been anticipating this drama since the day they started filming. I only read a quarter part of the novel, and I know the storyline will be different compared to other Xianxia dramas. To be honest, it went beyond my expectations. They did a 360 change on the plot, but it works for me because when I read the novel, the more I read, the more I felt bored. But this drama makes me excited and wonder what will happen in the next episode. But of course, if someone is not used to Xianxia dramas, this might not be for them because this trope has a lot of deception, lies, and misunderstandings.
Episode 1 to 4 - Introduction phase, Plot will start at episode 5 and onwards.
However, I think I need to point out that the moral story of this drama is actually about two broken people who met each other. Both leads live in deception and lies because adults failed them. Obviously, their characters won’t be perfect and they made mistakes, but that’s the beauty of it. You learn about real love, learn about friendship, learn about the one who truly cares about you, and finally, to rely on each other. So, for those who interested with this drama, do be patient because time to time, you will be asking "why she does not want to do that? why he did that to her?" There will be character developments.
I really love Jibozai’s character because, for God’s sake, his character was written by a woman writer. He is the dream guy that we’ve ever wanted. Haha, I can’t do anything but be in love with Jibozai 😂
When it comes to casting, I know HMH won’t disappoint me, by far for me, this is his best performance. There’s something about his eyes. HMH is one of those actors who act with his eyes, and the director is aware of it!! That’s why, if you realize, they always do close shots that focus on his eyes. LYX, I know she is a good actress because I watched her acting in MJTY. I knew she wouldn’t disappoint me too, and every time she cried, I cried along with her. The rest of the characters, perfect casts!
CGI and graphics — Not to be overreacting, but by far, they’re the most beautiful for me. It reminds me of the Fang of Fortune vibe, but they have a lighter vibe than them. The way they shot most of the scenes, super aesthetic. It’s like I’m watching LITC in the cinema instead. i think you guys really need to watch this in HD. cause It’s that beautiful to me.
OST and soundtrack — at first, they tend to use the soundtrack a lot at the start, but it got lesser toward the end. I hope Youku will fix the sound problem at episode 36. I love all the OSTs of this drama, especially HMH’s song and the opening song.
Overall, this will be one of my go to dramas. From time to time, when I don’t have anything to watch, I will watch this again. so 100% highly recommend from me!
