Lighter & Princess

I must admit, this Chinese drama didn't grab my attention right away. The first few episodes felt a bit slow and not particularly engaging. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes absolutely impossible to stop watching. It grows steadily, becoming emotionally rich and deeply compelling, with a perfect balance between complexity and simplicity.

The plot follows the characters over several years, which adds realism and depth to their relationships and personal struggles. While there are some weak points in the script - such as rushed scenes or slightly forced dialogues - the overall story is well-developed and captivating.

Li Xun is a striking character with a painful and difficult past. His trauma is deeply felt, and his strength in overcoming it is admirable. At the same time, he can be frustrating, especially when he acts recklessly or speaks harshly, often hurting those close to him. This duality, however, makes him more human and relatable.

Zhu Yun, on the other hand, has a simpler personal arc, but she shines through her inspiring personality. She's strong, determined, and incredibly charming - the kind of character who captivates not because of tragedy, but because of resilience and integrity.

Their love story is intense and filled with ups and downs, portrayed with sensitivity and emotion. The setting, soundtrack, and performances also greatly enhance the experience.

My only disappointment lies in the ending: bittersweet and a bit too open. Many important aspects of the characters' futures remain unanswered - the fate of the company they dreamed of building, the children they talked about having - all left unresolved. A few more episodes or even a second season would have helped to complete the story more satisfyingly. Still, this drama is outstanding and absolutely worth watching.

This is my forth C-drama series but so far my favorite together with HIDDEN LOVE.

These two Cdrama although with different plot were the best so far... Highly recommended to watch Hidden Love, Lighter & Princes, and When I fly towards you.

The two protagonist have great chemistry, the male lead superbly portray his character even the antagonist guy was really good.

The transition of characters from being a freshman college students, up to then post jail experience and post graduate (three years after) and up to getting back their dream L&P company.

Great plot and character build up. I love to watch the same genre.

2021 Chinese romantic comedy drama that tells the story of two people from different backgrounds who fall in love despite their differences

The acting in "Lighter & Princess" is good, and the chemistry between the two leads, played by actors Wang An Yu and Zhang Ya Qin, is believable and cute. The drama is well-paced, and the storyline is engaging, although it does have some predictable plot points.

The drama also touches upon themes of social class, discrimination, and the importance of family.

Overall, lighthearted and enjoyable romantic comedy that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. While it may not be the most groundbreaking or original drama out there, it is still worth a watch for fans of the genre.

The way this show started and then flashed back to how they fell in love was so extremely toxic and annoying. Knowing he was going to be selfish from the beginning took away any interest in the beginning story. Nothing he ever did made her validated. She constantly ignored her self respect for a narcissist. I don't care how they tried to play it as his genius. This was the most annoying drama I've forced myself to watch. I only watched it because of the good review hoping it would redeem itself. Nope. Save yourself time and skip this garbage. There are so much better ones to watch. I'm mad i wasted my time on this.

This is a good series to watch and you could relate the emotions on so many levels especially the grieving and not moving on from your puppy love.

You would relate as the characters have their own flaws, hesitations, trust yet not coming forward. Their chemistry is great as they didn't forget that they are friends first. The feeling of. Not moving on, but yet trusting each other is great at this age. I believe we all have been there on that stage first in our lives.

The beginning of this series is very engaging, the part where the male lead is aloof, engaging and portrait as genius in great, yet I know this is bit exaggerating but on the hind sight this series saves the melodramatic over hyped romantic or kiss scenes. I know other dramas always hyped those moments but in this series every goes like a normal course.

After a long time, I truely engaged into a drama with realistic romance, expectation, communication and demands.
