new fav drama !!
you know that feeling when you start a drama and then you feel mentally and emotionally empty when you finish it????😭 yeah i felt that when i unfortunately finished this one. but you won’t believe how many twists are in this drama😭 and dont even get me started on the cp🫰🏻love this couple so much and i hope they will star in a modern drama like HMH said in one of their interviews?? no but seriously the chemistry was actually so good i cried after the last ep. if you watch this and like the non toxic love triangle, amazing cp, turns of tables, and beautiful costumes, you are going to love my other all-time favouite: the princess royal💁♀️Was this review helpful to you?

Ji Bozai <3
Positives:- Not much I liked about this except for Ji bozai and Ming yi. I also liked their animal companions. I cried like a baby Mingyi was mourning twenty-seven.
- I thought Hou minghao was perfectly cast for this. I also really liked his styling in this drama.
- My favorite scenes were whenever Ji bozai shamelessly flirted (i.e. Nirvana scene)
Negatives:
- I was so close to dropping this. Start was slow and the last couple episodes were both chaotic and draggy for me.
- They’re infuriatingly bad at communicating and staying together 🫠.
- I hate how they butchered Situ Ling’s character to create last-minute conflict. His admiration and devotion for Mingyi used to be so wholesome. It was my favorite thing about him.

This show surprised me. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did, but the story / premise pulled me in and I had a hard time pacing myself (and not binging the whole show).
Lu Yu Xiao was excellent as usual and her character was absolutely fantastic. I loved her and loved Lu Yu Xiao's depiction of her struggles and triumphs.
However, I think this is the first drama where I was able to really enjoy Hou Ming Hao in a role, and by that I mean the FMC was just as well written as the MMC and therefore I enjoyed watching their scenes together. I've found that with other Hou Ming Hao dramas, the FMC gets on my nerves even though his character does not. I'd started to assume that Hou Ming Hao only selected dramas with irritating FMC and that I should avoid his shows. Thankfully, this drama proved me wrong; I will now check out more from him.

I really like the storyline
I have started watching Love in the Clouds when it came out. I rewatched it to get a better understanding of this Chinese drama show. This was the first show I had seen from the Enemies to Lovers Chinese drama show. I rewatched it from November 2, 2025, to December 25, 2025. Episode 1 to Episode 26 was watch from YouTube, while episode 27 to episode 36 were watched on kisskh. I noticed that Ji Bozai suddenly fell in love with Ming Yi when they first met in episode 1. The way he picks her up and puts her on the counter makes me think that Ji Bozai has a crush on Ming Yi in episode 2. I really like the part when Ji Bozai says Ming Yi is his, protect Ming Yi, and tell people from Yaoguang Mountain to get lost. It makes me think it's not suspicious from Yan Xiao, and seeing them have a show in front of them makes him single. It's funny when Ji Bozai says, " Who's the dog while Yan Xiao says, " Who's the mouse in episode 5. The scene where Ming Yi fainted in Ji Bozai's arms when her stomach made a sound that she was hungry. It's funny how Ji Bozai put Ming Yi's hairpin in his hair in episode 6. I like how Ming Yi would pinch Ji Bozai's back for his plans in episode 6. I really like how Ming Yi is cursing about Ji Bozai, and that's why he is sneezing when someone else is talking about him very badly. I guess Ji Bozai does feel sorry for Ming Yi for what he did to her in episode 7. I really like this scene where Yan Xiao says that's why Ji Bozai wants Ming Yi by his side, because she's smart and can get him out of trouble in episode 7. It's cute how they both poke each other's foreheads. It's funny how Ming Yi tells Ji Bozai to hide, and the way Immortal Situ Ling calls her sister. I really like the second fight scene, Xu Ming VS Ji Bozai in episode 11. I like the scene where Ming Yi tells Ji Bozi if he forgotten how to act. I think Ji Bozai can sense that Ming Yi is in danger in episode 13. It's funny how Ji Bozai and Ming Yi have a pretend fight with each other in episode 14. I feel Ming Yi cares about Ji Bozai, and she also suddendly have a crush on him. It is when she saved him from the netherbeast-luring caltrop from his body. It's in episode 17. I like the way Ji Bozai sneezes when Situ Ling tells Ming Yi to repay him with her hand in marriage. I feel the way Ji Bozai smiles on his face makes me think he enjoys it when Zhang Tai and Ming Yi are talking about him in episode 20. Did anyone notice that Ji Bozai was holding hands with Ming Yi when he was giving her a flower in episode 22? I really like the scene where Ji Bozai kisses Ming Yi in episode 25. It looks like Ji Bozai is competing for Ming Yi's attention against Situ Ling in episode 28. It reminds me back in episode where Ji Bozai would show both of their hands to Situ Ling. I like how Ming Yi asks Ji Bozai when did he gave her the Golden Millet Dream to her in episode 30. I like how Ji Bozai hugs Ming Yi in episode 33. I like how Ming Yi cares about Ji Bozai when he wakes up in episode 34. The way Ji Bozai put Ming Yi's hands on his face is cute and funny at the same time in episode 36. I was waiting for the time he finally confessed to Ming Yi that he liked her.I really like that poke, and the look from Ji Bozai reminds me of the earlier episodes with them. I am really happy about the happy ending with Ji Bozai and Ming Yi!! I didn't like how Ji Bozai hurt Ming Yi. I didn't like how Chao Yuan treated Fuyue and told her to shut up. I feel bad for her.Was this review helpful to you?
a c-drama that surprised me
My relationship with this drama, out of all the dramas I've ever watched, was the most "different." I thought I wouldn't like it because when it premiered, I watched the first episode, thought it was "weak," and abandoned it. But I ALWAYS wanted to finish it out of obligation; I never liked watching anything halfway through. So, after a long time, I decided to continue, and that was the best thing I did. The drama that I thought I wouldn't be able to like managed to be so good that it became memorable. The acting, the cinematography, the soundtrack, the story—EVERYTHING. It's a drama that might not grab you at the beginning, but it will take you to the end, and you won't regret getting this far. A story that promised nothing but delivered everything. I already miss my Ji Bozai and my Ming Yi ❤️Was this review helpful to you?

One and Only Romance of 2025 !!!
This drama didn't look like it would be this great.The acting is the creme dela creme. Ji Bozai is our superhero, behaving like the perfect man. Our beloved Ming Yi is so cunning and yet so lovable. Even the bad guys are amazing, and you can almost believe they're actually evil. I love the plot; no episode is boring; something happens in every episode, leaving you wanting more.
Plus, the music is like a dream - my favorite soundrtrack so far. All the cinematography is so beautifully done, the costumes, the effects. Absolutely amaizng. The story is captivating, giving us threads to cry over, get angry at, feel sympathy for, and find romance. You root for the main characters the entire time, but the support characters are also fantastic.
I recommend it to any romance and action fan. The fight scenes are beautifully done. The love scenes too, it's a shame there's no sequel. Nothing is as great as this drama these days.

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 ✨Was this review helpful to you?

Absolutely ?
This drama was truly captivating with a bit of humour added as well some serious .The characters were well matched and looked good together, i loved the outfit and story flowed through exceptionallywell, we didn't have any procrastination it was decided and they went with it, it kept us glued and wanting to see what happens next.
I particularly loved the visual effects, they seemed effortless and striking.
The story was light and dark with a revenge twist but love and sacrifice along with deep trust conquered all.
Overall this was awesome 👌 👏

it truly was love in the clouds.
this is by far one of the best if not the best dramas i have every watched in my 6 years of watching. it's a perfect mix of everything. as a feminist or as a person who loves women standing up for themselves, being brave, stepping forward, fighting injustice, and going against societies judgements, this drama is everything i could as for. not only did mingyi truly let go of her past and set herself free but she also found new found family, uncovered her true self, and even found her one true love. as a person who believes on the red string theory, this drama is truly giving that kind of vibe, no one can convince me they weren't meant to be from the very beginning of their lives. oh how i love mingzai 😭🩵Was this review helpful to you?
