I actually dropped Blossom Through the Cloud at episode 10 and then decided to pick it up again. Thankfully, I did, because I ended up genuinely enjoying it.

For me, this is the perfect weekday drama. It’s the kind of show you put on after coming home from work when you want something light, comforting, funny, and easy to watch. It hit the right spot in that sense. When the romance was on, it was ON, the comedy was fun, and overall it had that fluffy, comforting vibe that made it really easy to come back to throughout the week.

It’s definitely not the kind of drama I would binge-watch. It’s more of a de-stress show—something you watch an episode or two of during the week and just enjoy.

One thing I especially liked was the whole airline/pilot setting. I haven’t seen that concept used much in dramas, so I really enjoyed seeing the female lead as a pilot and having aviation actually be part of the story. It made the drama feel a little different even though, romance-wise, this is still a pretty typical rom-com.

Now, Miles Wei.

This is definitely your typical Miles Wei role, but honestly? He carried this show for me. His character was SO well written. He was such a green flag, and I really enjoyed Miles Wei’s acting here. He was light, funny, charming, romantic, and incredibly patient with her and all her actions.

Yes, he is basically the stereotypical CEO actor at this point, but I feel like the more he plays these kinds of characters, the more relaxed and natural he becomes in them. He just fits these roles so well now, and I really enjoyed him here. He was such a sweet treat. He was a babe, honestly.

For me, he was easily one of the biggest reasons the drama worked. His character was great, his acting was great, and whenever the romance was allowed to actually romance, I loved watching him.

The female lead, on the other hand…

I LOVE the actress. I genuinely don’t blame her for any of my problems with this character. I blame the writing completely.

Her character was probably the thing that pissed me off the most about the entire drama, and she was actually the reason I dropped it the first time. Sometimes I loved her, especially when she was in love and we got to see that softer side of her. During those moments, I really enjoyed her character and loved the two of them together.

But outside of that? She was annoying. She was selfish, arrogant, mean, and sometimes just straight-up rude.

And there’s a difference between being a strong female lead and being rude.

I understand what the writers were trying to do. They wanted her to be badass, independent, and strong, but instead they sometimes made her come across as arrogant, selfish, and unnecessarily mean to the people around her. Even with him, whenever he was being sweet and lovey-dovey, she was constantly pushing him away. I genuinely don’t know how that man survived this relationship.

If they had written her character better, I honestly think I would have enjoyed this drama SO much more. The actress was not the problem at all. The character writing was.

Which brings me to my biggest issue with the entire show:

Was there actually a writer for this drama?

Because the writing was OFF. Completely off.

I STILL don’t understand when these two officially started dating. I genuinely thought I had skipped an episode. I actually checked because suddenly I was watching them and thinking, “Wait… are they together now?”

Apparently, I had not skipped anything.

They just… became a couple.

And that basically sums up the writing and editing of this drama. Things just HAPPEN.

Someone said that the show feels fake, and I completely understand what they meant. There’s such a lack of consistency that it constantly takes you out of the story. One second someone is wearing one outfit, the next second they’re wearing something completely different. Scenes don’t always connect properly. Relationships suddenly progress without us actually seeing that progression.

It sometimes gave me vertical-drama energy, where you’re just sitting there thinking, “Wait, when did we get here?”

And there were SO many unnecessary or unfinished storylines.

The third male lead passing away??? WHAT WAS THAT? This is a ROM-COM. Why did we need that?

Then there was the other pilot who was an actual jackass, and after everything he did, I don’t remember him getting properly reprimanded for any of it. They basically just forgot about him.

The mother was forgiven after everything she did, and I was like… okay, apparently we’re forgiving her now.

And the bar couple? What happened to them? No one knows. They were just… there, and then they weren’t.

Even the second couple, who were actually very cute, suffered from the exact same problem. They were best friends. Then suddenly they were dating. Then suddenly they were engaged.

WHEN DID ALL OF THIS HAPPEN?

You have 24 episodes! There was absolutely enough time to develop these relationships properly, so I genuinely don’t understand why everything felt so rushed and disconnected.

And that’s what frustrates me about this drama because I actually enjoyed it while also seeing SO much wasted potential.

The leads had amazing chemistry. Whenever the female lead was written properly, they were amazing together. Miles Wei’s character was fantastic. The second couple was adorable. I loved the aviation concept. The outfits and costumes were really nice. The fluffy romance was exactly the kind of romance I enjoy.

There were so many ingredients here for a genuinely great rom-com.

But the writing was messy. The editing was messy. Storylines disappeared. Relationships progressed without us seeing the progression. Characters were forgiven or forgotten without satisfying conclusions. There were so many moments that made absolutely no sense whatsoever, and some of them genuinely pissed me the hell off.

And yet… somehow, I still enjoyed it.

I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to recommend it as something you NEED to watch, but if someone recommended it to you and you wanted something light and comforting for the week, I’d say give it a try. It’s cute, fluffy, funny, and easy to watch. It added a nice little comforting touch to my weekdays, and I genuinely enjoyed the soft romance.

The romance—and Miles Wei—definitely carried this drama for me.

It’s not a bad show at all. That’s actually what makes it more frustrating. It had the potential to be something really nice. With tighter writing, better editing, and a much better-written female lead, I think I could have loved it.

Instead, I’m left thinking: I enjoyed it, it comforted me, the romance was cute, Miles Wei was a babe…

…but what the hell was that writing?
