The Xianxia That Got Me Hooked
Love in the Clouds was my first xianxia, and apparently I chose a very good place to start because I binged the whole thing in just a few days.
Hou Minghao and Lu Yuxiao were absolutely amazing together. I genuinely think this is Hou Minghao’s best role so far. He completely owned this character. The charm, confidence, playfulness, and the more emotional moments all worked so well for him.
And their chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS. Every interaction between them was so much fun to watch. The flirting, tension, banter, and emotional scenes made me completely invested in their relationship. They just looked and felt right together.
Since this was my first xianxia, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the cultivation world, immortals, different realms, and all the fantasy elements, but I ended up loving it. The world was beautiful, the costumes and visuals were gorgeous, and the story pulled me in very quickly.
It was also ridiculously bingeable. I kept telling myself “one more episode” and somehow finished the whole drama within a few days.
Love in the Clouds was such a great introduction to xianxia for me. Beautiful, romantic, entertaining, and with a main couple whose chemistry I couldn’t get enough of.
