HIGHLY SATISFYING, MUST-WATCH DRAMA!!
I first stumbled upon the trailers for 'Lighter and Princess' around a month or so before the drama's release, and I found the plot interesting, so I figured I would give it a watch when the drama started airing. What I found instead was one of the best dramas I've watched to date. The ending of the drama is SO SATISFYING, it is a 100% feel-good ending. Every person got what they deserved, it made sense, and it did not make me want to bang my head on my desk. So, if you want to watch a drama that is amazing from beginning to end, PLEASE WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!!
What makes this drama unique is that it spans several years, following Zhu Yun and Li Xun from their university days all the way to their work days years later. I love dramas like this because we get to see character development. Also, shoutout to the costume crew in 1) having the characters dress in good outfits throughout the drama and 2) having the characters look different throughout the drama. Obviously Li Xun changed the most with all his hair changes (blonde to long brown to a buzz cut -- but they all literally looked so good?? like how??), but even Zhu Yun looked way older (in a good way) in her university days. This allowed me to immerse myself in the drama and actually feel like I was accompanying the characters during the ride.
Zhu Yun is literally the best character of this whole drama. She is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and her heart for others, especially Li Xun, is so amazing to see. She obviously has her flaws and realistic problems (i.e., with her parents), but she is a main character that everyone can stand with. She is not annoying in any way, THANK GOODNESS. All of her actions were logical.
I also loved the characters who worked at Feiyang. They were literally all so funny but it was so heartwarming to see them stand behind ZY and LX despite all the difficulties their animosity with L&P brought them.
The OSTs in this drama are also SUPER good, I am actually listening to them rn while writing this review!
I literally cannot recommend this drama more to anyone. At the very end all I thought about was how satisfying and CONSISTENT this drama was -- everyone made logical choices (except GJH but even his choices were consistent with his character) consistent with who they were. There were points where I cried, points where I laughed, and many points where I was like omgggg during the scenes with ZY and LX. So go do yourself a favor and watch this drama :)) I promise you will not regret it!!! <33
