***** SPOILER ALERT (PERSONAL FEEDBACK) *****
Personal Rating: ⭐️ 8.5/10
💕 How would you rate this drama?
Title: Love In The Clouds (2025)
Status: Completed – 36 Episodes
ML: Ji Bo Zai (a warrior of Jixing Abyss with a criminal past) – played by Hou Minghao
FL: Ming Yi / Ming Xian (the God of War from Yaoguang Mountain) – played by Lu Yuxiao
This is actually my first completed drama of Hou Minghao. I previously tried watching Back From the Brink but ended up dropping it. It's also my second drama of Lu Yuxiao after My Journey to You.
I can safely say this drama is worth finishing if you're looking for a light fantasy romance. I honestly planned to drop it in the beginning because of the cringe moments and the continuous lies. 😂 But the story really picked up around Episode 13, and that's when it became much more interesting and had some good twists.
The story revolves around the Qingyun Tournament, where the winner receives the Blessed Rain that brings prosperity to their realm. Ming Yi, who had won the tournament for seven consecutive years, is finally defeated by Ji Bo Zai. During the tournament, she is poisoned by Heavenly Grief, causing her spiritual vein to break. Believing Ji Bo Zai poisoned her, she disguises herself as a fairy attendant from Moonlit Blossoms to get close to him and find the antidote.
🖤 What fell short for me:
1. The first half of the drama was just okay—not bad, but not particularly engaging.
2 . The FL was cute and sweet, but at times she became a little annoying because of her fake persona. I know she was pretending for a reason, but I wish they had toned it down so we could have seen more genuine interactions and conversations between the leads.
3. Some episodes felt slow, especially the Nether Beast episodes which dragged on longer than necessary.
4. There were too many side characters that didn't really add much to the story.
5. Mu Qi Bai (the first main villain) had way too much screen time—it honestly became irritating.
6. It even felt like the supporting characters had more total screen time than the main couple.
7. The FL kept lying even after the ML had already been sincere with her, and that became frustrating to watch.
❤️ What I loved:
1. The chemistry between the leads was good.
2. Master She, Granny Xun, and the companion beast completely stole every scene they were in. They were funny, adorable, and made the drama much more enjoyable.
3. The drama has a satisfying happy ending.
4. Hou Minghao is so handsome. 😍
Overall: Love In The Clouds earns an 8.5/10 from me. It's a decent fantasy romance with a slow start, but it gets much better in the second half of the drama. I just wish the FL's performance had been more convincing and emotionally expressive, as stronger emotional delivery would have made the scenes more impactful. The ML also did well, but I wish he had shown a bit more intensity and anger in certain scenes. His naturally sweet and cute face sometimes made it difficult to fully convey the fiercer side of his character. 😅
