Hou Ming Hao and Lu Yu Xiao’s latest wuxia drama Love in the Clouds has grabbed 9,800 on the heat index just a week after the Chinese drama premiered on YOUKU on October 8th.
A milestone that now makes the new wuxia drama an official enormous success on the streaming platform right after it premiered with an already high 9,000 heat index.
Nope, Chinese drama fans, both in China and internationally, don’t seem to be abandoning this historical romance drama at all.
