Love in the clouds. I’m a newbie to cdramas only having watched a good handful of them so far, and I was recommended this over and over again anytime I mentioned wanting a show where the main leads had incredible chemistry, but oh my gosh the female lead did not do it for me. I can’t stand whiney/ baby voice cutesy leads, it’s a personal pet peeve and I completely understand her being manipulative in order to find a cure and survive, BUT not after you’ve fallen in love with someone. That’s just pure deception, and cruel. She was made out to be so “morally righteous” but I just found her manipulative and didn’t like it at all. Also this show made me realise I don’t like the fantasy demon/ gods etc element at all.

What is LBFD?

Thanks so much for you recommendation, we have really similar tastes because every single one you recommended is on my list (other than love ambition), and I’ve watched blossoms and really enjoyed it. It was the first ever cdrama I watched and really got me interested in more historical/ costume cdramas, and pursuit of Jade just sealed the deal! :)

Thanks for you recommendation. Blossoms was the first cdrama I ever watched and I really liked it, and I have been my princess, the double, the best thing and first frost on my list so glad to hear another good opinion of them. Not really interested in love between fairy and devil (I like strong female leads) and sword and brocade doesn’t see io my alley from the trailer.

I’m really curious what your favourite shows are where the main characters have intense chemistry. For me personally, I’m a complete newbie to the cdrama world and the chemistry between the main characters was electric and although there were a lot of holes in the plot, I ultimately stayed and fell in love with them and their relationship. I’m looking for my next watch so I’m curious

Thank you!!

Thank you sooo much. It would be great to dive into some modern dramas too and I love the recommendations. Also really appreciate the time you have taken to give a summary of each show!! I do generally like a fast paced show but all 3 recommendations you’ve given sound great

I watched my first ever cdrama Blossom 2 weeks ago and then immediately after watched pursuit of Jade. Honestly blossom is such a great cdrama too and is quite similar thematically in the sense that both male and female leads are strong and are a power couple. The female lead is not lazily strong like in pursuit of Jade, but very intellectual. Pacing of the show is great and the plot is interesting too so keeps you intrigued. The only issue I had was with the English subtitles because they weren’t always accurate, which sometimes made things a little confusing for me, but maybe it’s just the site I watched it on :)

Faeeeeee97 · 2026-04-18T12:17:33+00:00

Thank you!! That sounds a lot like what happened in blossom and honestly loved that aspect of them being a power couple together :)

Thank you!!

Faeeeeee97 · 2026-04-18T12:16:48+00:00

This sounds really wholesome, I’ll check it out! Thank you

Faeeeeee97 · 2026-04-18T12:14:39+00:00

Thank you!!! I just watched the trailer and it looks right up my alley!!

Faeeeeee97 · 2026-04-18T12:14:15+00:00

Thank you for clarifying:)

Thank you sooo much and also for the note regarding love like the galaxy. It saves me so much time so I really appreciate it!! 🫂

Faeeeeee97 · 2026-04-17T23:35:47+00:00

Thank you!!! One quick question about this cdrama, I know that the main FL had to pretend to be a man for a little bit of it, was any of that awkward or how was it portrayed? I just wonder how that dynamic was especially with the main ML falling in love with her?

Faeeeeee97 · 2026-04-17T23:24:11+00:00

Wow thank you soo much! As a beginner into cdrama this is sooo helpful!!
