Mu first fantasy drama
completed The Love in the Clouds. Before watching this drama, I read a lot of reviews, comments, and remarks, so my expectations weren't really that great. But I was watching it for Ho Minghao, and honestly, it was great. This is my first fantasy-genre C-drama, and maybe there are better dramas in this genre, but it's not like I hated this drama. The visuals were epic. The styling, the looks, both the male and female leads—everything was amazing. The visuals were definitely one of the best parts for me. But I personally feel the last two episodes were VERY rushed. Because what do you mean we missed the great fight between Situ Ling, Ji Bozai, and Mingyi? 😭 I really wish we got to see Ji Bozai and Mingyi actually fighting the final round 🗡️. Like, what do you mean it was just a power-up and then suddenly everything was over? I wished we got to see them properly fight n celebrate their life a little more. The last two episodes basically felt like I was just turning pages. It felt like I was going through a summary rather than watching a proper epilogue. We never really got to see what happened after everything was restored and fairness and righteousness were brought back. The plot was good, but at times it did feel a little stagnant. However, the chemistry between Ho Minghao n Liyuxiao was amazing 🫠. I loved how they portrayed the characters and their relationship, the naughtiness n drama n man they're hot n after everything they went through, I really liked how things turned out for them. The plot itself wasn't anything GREAT. It was very simple—basically just one main thing—and could have been done much better, especially in terms of storyline and plot development. Tho I loved the concept of spirit animals as pets and lil things here n there. The pacing was nice, so it was okay for me. Also, I usually watch political or historical dramas, especially ones related to war. I don't really watch fantasy dramas much, so this was actually a nice change for me. I really liked the overall story and fantasy world. So overall, I liked it. Nothing extraordinary plot-wise, but the visuals, styling, chemistry, and overall experience made it enjoyable for me. 7/10 ✨
