Great drama
I loved this drama. It started slow but lead up to a great story. The main characters had some of the best chemistry I’ve seen. And the kissing scenes were very well done. They felt like a real couple to me. This drama is so worth the watch. I enjoyed all the characters, they all acted well. I would definitely watch this again.If I had to say one thing negative about the storyline would be about the mother. I wished she would have come to grips with the relationship in the end. But still liked that YunYun was true to herself.

In love with this Drama and The OSTs are just something else
It's like what we feel for sometime after finishing something so good , that touches our heart and what lingers after is just the faint memories of the time when we first watched /read that thingso no matter how long it lasts we should always make the best of that moment and hope it stays , that feeling remains forever.. so I am writing this here for this special drama and it's characters to remind me of the beautiful series sad yet a bundle of a happiness , emotional yet a comfort
the effect it had on me was quite a zig zag curve , I'll miss it this series and I'm glad that I was able to watch it ..
I'm giving this 9/10 or this will become the standard for me to like a show haha
It's precious and will always be my first fav drama ever .
I watched it back while it was airing and wrote my views randomly
so today I'm just sharing it here to preserve it you could say

"What if you and I were meant to part ways, only so that we could find each other again."
This is my first time ever writing a review and I'm so glad that it's for Lighter & Princess.L&P is no ordinary chinese drama. It is a mixture of everything, from revenge, enemies to lovers, family and friendships. I honestly started watching with no expectations but the moment I watched the first episode, I was addicted just like that. A huge appreciation for Chen Fei Yu and Zhang Jing Yi for portraying the characters very well and THEIR CHEMISTRY IS JUST BEYOND INSANE. All the actors and actresses did very well in this series.
This became my #1 favourite drama because of a few reasons. Firstly, I love the bad boy good girl trope AND THEY DELIVERED IT WELL. Secondly, the character development is insane. Not only for the main leads, but everyone. All the characters had their own story and spotlight. I just really can't put into words on how touching this drama is. CAN WE ALSO TALK ABOUT THE SOUNDTRACKS??? every single one of them were amazing.
Now let's get into the characters of the series. ML and FL were both charming in their own ways, like what we say "opposites attract". Their love story developed very well and I also really love how they don't only focus on love. It also showed how hardworking the main leads were to achieve their own goals.
It was really sad that it ended, and I hope Chen Fei Yu and Zhang Jing Yi will get another project together in the future. 'Twas a good show! a big 10/10 for L&P <3

I like the drama but those not connected with computer field might felt bored
I liked watching it . Each and every characters were good. I liked the chemistry between the main leads. I have little knowledge about programming though when they used too deep programming words and it was shown about 15 minutes that made little bored . So who didn't know anything about the computer programming ,I think they may skip and watch the episode . I think the drama through their story wanted to show us that trust is very important thing in any relationship , it also wanted to show us the person who released from the jail may not be that wrong which we think so we should give them second chance but before giving them a chance try to find out thereason that why he was detained . The drama had also shown us that sometimes parents need to understand their child ,may be their child is not doing any wrong ,so there is need to change the perspective of judging others .
I liked the ending but I expect more . I wanted to see their proper wedding with all rituals . As they both wanted baby so I also wanted to see that they complete their family.

Toxic! Toxic! Toxic!
I began to watch this drama because I really like Arthur Chen, but it quickly turned into a cringe fest.Every single relationship in this drama is toxic. Perfect examples of everything relationships should not be, not just between the ML/FL, but also between the FL and her mother and also between the second couple too.
I really can't understand why so many reviewers think this series if great unless you take it as an example of how NOT to behave in a mature, adult manner.
Awful!

The best cdrama ever
To be honest I wasn't sure myself to watch Lighter and princess but now I'm so happy that I gave it a try. Definitely I'm going to watch it again.Trust me I'm a kdrama addict and I watched many dramas but when I watched this Cdrama I was like this.. OMG .
The plot , the style, the cast, songs even the way this drama started, everything evvverything were new not a cliche like most of the Kdrama.
If you are bored of seeing repeatative storyline like a gorgeous rich boy fall for a poor ordinary girl who wears beautiful expensive clothes every single day ( how is that even possible!??) so watch this one.
I can't believe it's not even in top10!

Fairy-tale like with Realism
My first review ever I wanted to write on MDL because of this drama.Genre of Youth’s struggle to adulthood, facing challenges in life, facing consequences, doing the right thing, learning to express emotions, IT programming field, parenting, growth, relationships difficulty, facing adversity, kindness of others, genius and flaws, acceptance, etc
The first act focus on developing the background of a few main characters, quite well balanced and not over the top. Youthful struggles and developing friendships and relationships. Trust, faith and dreams. Captivating and realistic character building for phase. You can understand the ML’s aloofness and the FL being giving the label of ‘Princess’. Story well edited.
The characters are consistent and can see their growth to adulthood.
Second act - adult phase shown more of characters picking up what they have loss and reconciling their past to acceptance. Building trust in each other, believing in each other and growth. Some very nice supporting characters were absolutely too perfect like FL’s childhood friends. The ML’s misfortune and stubbornness was acceptable and instead as a flaw, it was narrated more of resilience, perseverance and strengths. ML is not heartless just poor in navigating his emotions and losses in life. Hence the FL is his savior.
And the villains were not all bad in their core except for one. Driven by circumstances and bad choices, all have some bad things happened to them, to allow them to learn their lessons. Of course happy ending.
So hence the fairy tale sweetness.
The actors and actresses also all portray their roles well. Deserved many thumbs up! Sweetness but not too over the top, overall a down to earth presentation.
Worth a re-watch and review the small details designed by the team and actors and actresses.

Good film
The story line is good and quite logical so far as I have been watching till episode 31 .The chemistry between two leads is sweet, cute and natural, reminded me of my younger self. Even though they still need to improve their acting skills (sometimes still off during the drama) but overall it is good to watch, considering they are still very young actors.
Zhang Jingyi’s acting is very promising and Chen Geiyu’ eyes is catchy and lovable. I think they would be great actors in the future and can’t wait for their developments and improvements.
P/s: this drama is one of few C-drama that I dont need fast forward 👍

Go Go Squid
If you haven't seen a lot of modern Chinese series, it might be interesting for you, but I have seen a few series like this, which are much better than this one.And this was a cliché for me, it didn't attract me, it was boring and it didn't attract me.
Although I like this genre, for example, I really liked Go Go Squid, so I rewatched it several times
In my opinion, like me, don't download this series until the end. If you didn't like the first few episodes, don't continue because the series is the same until the end

It isn't love if it's easy. A MUST WATCH.
Lighter and Princess depicts a love story filled with all sorts of twists, I had never experienced such an attachment to a show but I can say for certain, Lighter and Princess is unique and beautiful, I don't believe I can ever find a show similar to this one.There are many factors I admire about the show, but one thing that stuck out to me is, the story goes a lot deeper than I assumed it would, the hardships were never sugarcoated and I cannot count the amount of times I sat at the edge of my bed stressed because I was so attached to all the characters.
No one is perfect in this world, we all have our faults, we all have our struggles. That does not mean we cannot change or grow, The main characters have developed so much throughout the show, and you cannot help but feel infinitely proud of all of them. My review may be short, but for anyone whoever considers/thinks to watch this show should definitely go for it, enjoy the ride it is rewarding.

the chemistry between the main actors are top-notch!
i've watched countless of chinese modern drama and when i tell you, most of them do not have a very natural chemistry between the main leads and their romance scenes seemed forced and unnatural. but with L&P, you can obviously feel the chemistry and i loveee how natural both the actors, fengyu & jingyi, are in this drama. their romance scenes flow smoothly and natural; the hugs, the kisses etc. most importantly, i like how fengyu gives us the butterflies with his stare and how cute jingyi is in this drama.The plot is also excellent; it depicts the progression of young college love (youthful, innocent, big dream achiever) to more mature adult love (complexity, hardships, trust, loyalty). It's refreshing honestly.

Forever in My Heart
Just like Zhu Yun will forever have Li Xun in her heart and Li Xun will forever have Zhu Yun in his heart, Lighter & Princess will always have a special place in my heart. This is my 4th watch and I don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review. Every time I watch L&P, I am stunned by the sizzling chemistry and the depth of love the leads have for each other. If you have not watched this drama, do not believe the criticisms against the ML and the FL's character. They could not be any further from the truth. Watch for yourself.The ML's character is one that if you come to understand him the way Zhu Yun did, you will love him. He is not the usual sensitive ML but rather rough on the edges due to his rough life experiences. The way Zhu Yun softened Li Xun made their romance even more compelling and believable. Li Xun’s dream was the basis of the company he founded called L&P. His dream was to build a system to provide medical service to the public in order to reduce the cancer death rate. But due to circumstances, Li Xun ends up losing it all. After a break up and time skip, the couple works together to regain all that was lost and it is through this collaboration that we see how the couple's romance develops in their love for each. I watched every minute of Lighter and Princess with no desire to fast forward except through Gao and his wife's marital problems. And as Li Xun's back story is revealed, I loved him even more and it was entirely convincing that Zhu Yun would love him because she understood him. She was the light in his life, the "princess" who is someone innocent yet also someone willing to take risks.
The chemistry between the leads sizzles...and sizzles...and sizzles. The match between Chen Fei Yu and Zhang Jing Yi is amazing. The person who selected this cast deserves an award. They are comfortable with each other. I am a big fan of Zhang Jing Yi since Lighter and Princess. She makes it all believable because she is a natural actress who looks comfortable in intimate roles. The way she hugs and cuddles with her ML made me believe she loved him. You can feel the connection. Chen Fei Yu's gazes as he looked straight into his Jing Yi's eyes conveyed deep emotions of love. There is this yearning that is a mix of love and regret but one that said he loved this woman with all his heart and soul. His eyes deserve a special award for L&P! It is this chemistry that left me with the feeling that I never wanted it to end and now over a year since I watched L&P, I cannot move on. I feel it calling to me all the time because I miss this couple when I am not watching L&P.
Lighter & Princess is a masterpiece. You can watch it on the surface or look deep into significant details. Lighter & Princess. Two words you might wonder how they go together. The lighter Li Xun carried with him was his father's. It was broken at one time but Zhu Yun had it mended. But perhaps he no longer needed it as she became his light drawing out of his painful past and bringing him into her innocent fairy tale existence of a "princess." I loved the way he called her "Princess." And yet he didn't treat her as if she was nothing but a princess. He allowed her to grow and learn on her own by guiding her and giving her hints on how to achieve her goals. And she understood him.
