Not everyone's cup of tea if they're looking for proper plot and character development
I'll probably get hated for this review, but the ML is full of himself throughout. One should be able to differentiate between a genius and a complete narcissist self-absorbed person. I get that his past hasn't been the best, but that does not justify the way he treats people.Had it not been for Arthur Chen's good looks/striking eyes and some other not-so-handsome actor, I'm pretty sure more people would have hated the character. The ML-FL relationship was very toxic, I'm rather amused that people are glorying such toxicity and finding it cute, lol.
Also, a lot of time seems to be wasted on unreal IT-based competitions as well.

It's very momerable, but at the same time there are many significant negative points.
In my review I'll mostly focus on the negatives, since I'm late to the party & the drama's abundant positive reviewers covered everything else. Though let me just say the main couple's chemistry & their acting performances are unprecedented in a cdrama, I don't think I have ever seen another cdrama that had such lively leads, with so much raw emotion etc..(It's not a criticism really, but I chuckled a little when I saw Lao Gao driving a Maybach, this is the real authentic Cwebnovel experience right here!)
Okay so the negatives in no particular order:
⌲ The drama is very long & there are some repetitive plots, it feels like I rewatched an extraordinarily good drama 4 times in a row, this shouldn't have been 36 episodes. (though I'm sure many people that watched it as the eps were released barely noticed this)
⌲ Zhu Yun should have explained many things to her mom, but that never happened. (+horrible mom with little plot relevance & screen time)
⌲ Lao Gao's character development makes no sense to me. (and the transition to crazed cartoon villain is especially jarring)
⌲ Why would Li Xun trust Gao with L&P? (Their friendship? is very poorly explained in the drama)
⌲ Why, just why would Li Xun a so called genius use brawn over brain to deal with Fang Zhi Jing?
⌲ I found Fang Zhi Jing's plot against LX's sister over the top silly.
⌲ Zhu Yun kept a so called childhood friend on the hook for years. (you are a bad girl ZY, though at least this is bearable for a triangle)
⌲ The misunderstanding about a certain marriage happening has never gotten resolved, despite there being a lot of tension about this for a while.
⌲ The English in the drama is just embarrassing . ("Lucky & Power", "Thank!")
⌲ Ren Di is such an underutilized character. (Her band was really cool for those 3 minutes)
⌲ Ren Di's briefly shown romance is rather horrible.
⌲ Zhu Yun pretending not to care for so long, even in her internal monologues makes no sense.
⌲ The storytelling and even the main romantic plot is quite jittery at times, there are also frequent twists of logic, though the latter could be attributed to the questionable subbing quality, I just don't know.
⌲ This drama features the ugliest breakup I've ever witnessed. Noble reasons or not, no self respecting woman would ever forgive this much. (and yes LX is rather toxic in the early episodes too)
⌲ There is an enormous shift in the drama's tonality where we go from a very serious twenteen startup attempt to a ridiculously silly situation at the Flying Network? whatever company.
⌲ Xu Li Na (Her plot is all over the place & then she suddenly cares about Gao in the final episodes following their super silly divorce)
⌲ The programming related segments are ridiculous at times.
⌲ I can accept LX being a wunderkind knowitall, but based on what I've seen of ZY's progress as a newbie, she is the (un)real genius here..

Lighter and princess
“ If time could stop when we first meet ” . Greatest Green flag drama with best story line and setting high standards of love for both men and women.Definitely watch. Li xun and zhu yun setting highstandrands of love . It doesnt feel like fictional drama the it almost felt real every seen in the drama felt real its just not a drama its a real life story. 36 episodes are just not enough my wishful thinking it that i hope that this drama can continue until i die but the fact is thats not possible but still cant stop loving this drama and this drama will definitely have special place in my entire life and no one replace it like #1 drama of my lifetime

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

C-drama version of a Wattpad novel | Turn off your brain
★★★★★★★ 7/10 stars, C-drama version of a Wattpad novel written in 2015.You need to turn off your brain to watch this, and just enjoy the pretty people on screen.
I don't recommend watching unless you've been through other dog blood, toxic, Wattpad-esque mafia/bad boy x good girl stories and know what a healthy relationship should look like, lmao. If you have, then proceed, because this show was genuinely entertaining and unexpected.
The chemistry...was surprisingly good?
I expected this to be cliched, boring, and just have good-looking leads but no substance, but I was mistaken. Though the ending left me wanting for a lot more (at least an epilogue ???) it's still an OK drama, with amazing chemistry is great—def in the top 5 the best I've seen ever in a Chinese drama.
The ML is....complicated, manipulative, and i dont like how the story is written to frame everything the FL does around him, and that she must always be accommodating to him....this is a whole separate story, but its so poorly written and romanticizes selfish MLs, who rlly why r u working this hard for a man who never even returns half the effort or love, and is he a gemini? You wouldn't ever actually date someone like this irl lmao.
I'd like to think of this as a C-Drama 365 Days, LMAOO, But without the mafia, not nearly as graphic, or extreme, or sexual. It just gives that Wattpad vibe, but with visuals and chemistry (and a dog blood, contrived, silly story to match). The ML sucks tho, in just that he's a selfish, genius, everyone must bow to him kind of thing.
BUT,,, good chemistry. if you turn off ur brain and just watch for that then...a good enough show to binge watch in like 3 days!

MY TOP CHINESE DRAMA
NOT CLICHÉ DRAMA, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG. AFTER I WATCHED THE ANIMATION I JUST CAN’T GET OVER IT, WILL DEFINITELY RE WATCH A HUNDRED TIMES. SO IN LOVE WITH BOTH OF THE LEADS. ❤️ATHUR IS NOW ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHINESE ACTOR OF ALL TIME. LOVED IT FROM THE START, SOME SCENES WERE DIFFERENT FROM THE ANIMATION BUT IM NOT COMPLAINING, I JUST WISH THE LAST EPISODE SHOWED US A BIT MORE OF THEIR LIVES AFTER MARRIAGE. 😬 PLUS THEM HAVING A BABY, I WAS TOO EXCITED AND GOT DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I WAS EXPECTING THEM TO FAST FORWARD NEAR THE END. 😂 OVERALL A VERY GOOD DRAMA FOR ME.

Something Special
I don't typically write reviews, but I want to write this so that I can remember how much I truly enjoyed this show. I completely fell in love with the characters and the story. Each character has so many dimensions and these small details are given to each character.Li Xun- In the beginning of the show, he always turns his head towards the sun. He closes his eyes and just feels the sunlight. Later on, we find out that when his mother was in the hospital for cancer, she loved to stand by the window. She loved to feel the sun on her face and because of that Li Xun's goal was to let his mother just at least one more day so that she could feel the sun on her face even one more time. After she passed, Lin Xun feels the sun in place of his mother. Instead of his character simply going through a huge incident and moving on, he continues to feel the weight of her death and simply feels the sun in place of his mother. I also loved the fact that his lighter was not a purposeful gift. His father died when he was still a child and one day he randomly found the lighter. He uses the lighter throughout the entire show, because it's like an extension of him, it never truly leaves him. I love when there will be low audio of the lighter cap coming on and off even when it doesn't show him messing with the lighter.
Zhu Yun- The huge incident of seeing Li Xun almost murder someone and being unable to move or doing anything about it, didn't just go away. The shock of seeing him doing that and them him leaving her, made her begin to have depression. I do wish that would've been explored a bit more, but I love that they didn't have her character go through such a huge event and be totally fine.
Other little character details I enjoyed
Gao-his love of oranges. You can see him eating them all throughout the show, even in the background. At the end, those oranges are a sign of hope for him to live after his surgery. I also loved how it showed step by step how he turned into someone so twisted.
Li Lan-Buying a doll for her barely mentioned child.
How each period of our lives are spent surrounded by others. There will be people that change and people that stay the same. There will people that leave you out of choice and those that stay by you. With each period, you can start friendships and relationships, but not all of them will continue and that's not necessarily bad. You can have close classmates, lose them, then have good coworkers, then eventually lose them. Throughout it all, life changes and people change. You can become warmer or colder and that's up to you.

Worth watching or not?
I started watching this drama after seeing some insta reels... Thinking its going to be very intresting...but i watched 20 episodes like ok something intresting will happen in nxt ep & i will like the next ep i should not skip the drama like this...Episodes are passing nothing intresting happened...it was totally totally BORING for me ,nothing funny & dead romancePeople are talking about their chemistry, Am i blind? Why i cant see any chemistry between them? FL has no expressions at all i really dont think she fits the role at all. Anyone can smile ,only smile is not expression!also the story is too much dragged it should be finished in 24 eps only but omg 36 too much waste of time dont watch the drama if you dont like first few episodes its going to be same till end! its overrated not at all worth watching.. its my opinion i write what i feel about it.
There are so many best dramas i would recommend also its very intresting
1: My Unicorn Girl (my SUPER fav) its very funny ,intresting ,enimies to lover
2: Love btw fairy & devil (fav) their chemistry and eternal love touched my heart
3:poisioned love (fav) enimies to lover
Dont watch Lighter and princess drama if you watched so many modern dramas there are chances you may not like it
Watch only if you are intrested in seeing and enjoying ML handsomeness or FL beauty...or in computers

I'm gutted, I wanted to like it more
Look, I love Feiyu and have waited for him to do a project like LAP, however, the plot of the ex-convict bad boy and the angelic good girl is one that Hollywood did many years ago and with much better results. It's a basic plot that needed something more explosive to keep it humming along.Also and IMO, Jingyi was the wrong actress to pair with Feiyu because even when she's happy or playful, she always has a restrained manner about her as if her public image is more important to her than the character she's playing. Essentially, she acts the same in every drama of hers. How does she keep getting projects?
I see there's a lot of fangirling and comments like "oh my god, their chemistry" but honestly, only Feiyu brought the heat, Jingyi was all-around terrible as a romantic lead. The story is nothing special and the execution was even more lackluster. I hate when a series starts in the present and then takes almost 15 episodes to tell the back story through flashbacks. It's one of the laziest forms of storytelling because basically, the scriptwriter isn't confident that the story was good enough to build organically.

THE BEST CDRAMA EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Lighter & princess is one of the dramas that I recommend watching the most because the story is very good and exciting. Chen feiyu & zhang jingyi (li xun & zhu yun) at lighter & princess can convey a message to the audience so well that the audience is carried away by the feelings they have built.Sometimes when watching lighter & princess it's hard to tell the difference between CFY & ZJY playing or really LX & ZY playing because their chemistry is in real life and in the drama it just seems to flow and I as a viewer highly recommend this drama for you to watch too. MUST WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!
