I WANT TO ERASE MY MEMORY AND WATCH IT AGAIN ??

I wish if this drama never ended ,I wish I could watch Li xun and Zhu yun for a long long longtime .
Zhu yung 'll remain one of the strongest leads ever
onlything I felt partially unsatisfied was letting Gao go after all the things he did .he don't deserve mercy .
If I have to describe briefly he was not guilty of telling the address of Li's sister though he said he did it to teach a lesson to Li but the same guy was shouting proudly that he was the one who leaked the info about Li's sister

ONE OF THE BEST C-DRAMA I HAVE EVER WATCHED.

Everything about this drama is amazing from the casting , the acting , the visuals, the storyline, the background to the ost. And the best part is it just get better and better by each episode. The chemistry between the female lead and male lead and their characters development is on another level.

gritty, inspiring, absolutely perfect casting

First off, **major spoilers** everywhere so be warned, and this is gonna be long.

Absolutely addicted and love this drama, so why did I not give it a 10? One, because the parents annoy me, which is why I’m writing this review before finishing the last ep. Two, because Li Xun went on a path of self destruction.

Now, let’s talk about Li Xun. This man is an absolute genius through and through. He’s pretty cold and indifferent, but I ADORED this man…until he blinded a guy. I completely support the revenge path and whatnot, but that was just so out of character. I get he was grieving and people make bad decisions, but man PLANNED that shit. He’s so intelligent, so why would he throw his whole life away just for that? Even more, he not only gave up zhu yun but was a complete jerk about it. She did not deserve that AT ALL, and his idea was just so bad. Like you had so much time and that’s what you come up with? Aside from that, I feel like he didn’t deserve zhu yun’s forgiveness. He never really tried to make it up to her, and the apology wasn’t satisfactory enough for me. He deserved way more than that one slap. But oh well, that happened. Although I complained a lot, I still like his character. He went through a lot, and nobody’s perfect. In their uni days when they were together, he was such a golden retriever bf and it was so adorable. Combusted everytime he called her princess. SO CUTE!!! Also, this might be just me, but his walk is so funny. Like, someone sign him up for the runway. He’s perfected the angry boy walk. On a bright side, the actor is incredibly handsome. His eyes speak wonders, and not everyone can rock a buzzcut, but he definitely did.

Next, I wanna go over Gao. Keep in mind, I was one of those avid supporters of him up until the prison fiasco. He was relatable. It’s understandable to feel like someone else’s shadow and want to find their own light. Plus, Li Xun was also being an ass towards him at the beginning. He only cared about results and made Gao do his bidding. I get that he has a vision and all, but people were hurt in the process. Gao was doing everything right, going abroad and all. His mistake was blaming Li Xun for losing that opportunity and going on a revenge path. Fast forward, after prison, Gao is still suffering from his inferiority complex and only after money. I was like okay, understandable, cuz some people really only go after money in life, but he was playing dirty for it. His villain arc was very thorough and relatable. I actually cried for him when he was in the hospital. He was a good guy in the beginning. I hope he survives his procedure.

Well, if we talk about Gao, we have to talk about Fang Ziying or whatever his face was. Not much to say really. He was already a bad person at the beginning 💀. Breaking up with someone isn’t a crime, but pretending to be a victim is. He shouldn’t have pinned the blame on the girl. He also should have felt bad about her death. Fast forward, still a bad guy 3 yrs later. I don’t know where he gets the face to show up after being exposed before. I don’t think Li xun’s sister death is his fault because he only moved her hotels, not hire a truck driver to kill her (unless I missed something and that was intentional). Anyways, it was definitely wrong to trick the sister, but it’s not necessarily his fault she died.

Xu Lina. I don’t exactly like her, but I don’t hate her either. At the uni, I definitely did not like her. She lead on Gao, using him to get closer to Li Xun. Also went for him even after knowing he was with Zhu Yun. You don’t go after taken men. She still even went for him after he got out of prison. Like girl, he barely even spoke to you, what do you even like about him?? She was tolerable when she stayed with Gao and gave him oranges. That was really sweet, and it shows that she cares even a little.

Know, onto the characters I liked. Ren di and fang shumiao. AMAZING. Great friends and couldn’t ask for better ones. XIUZHU GE THIS MAN. Actually perfect. He can cook. He can clean. He’s kind, funny, patient, AND successful. Literally glowing green flag. Like, I’ll take him, hello?! Also, shoutout to the office workers because they were such goofballs and great people.

Saved the best for last. ZHU YUN MY LOVELY. She was definitely my favorite character in this entire drama. Intelligent, funny, caring, pure, loyal, AND AN ABSOLUTE BADASS. I don’t think I’m gonna find another FL like her. She is the most loyal character IN EXISTENCE. Like bro, I woulda left Li Xun to rot in his emo attitude. Ms girl really sticks to her words. She’s so strong TT. Also, GORGEOUS. I cannot stop looking at her. She steals the scene everytime, and the actress is so beautiful. I definitely feel like she has a staring contest with Li Xun every episode, but I can practically feel them using telepathy. She’s so pretty ><. This is true unconditional love. Literally won’t find that in the real world 💀, or maybe I’m just a pessimist.

Conclusion
Every single one of the cast members did such a wonderful job. I CANT think of a better casting. Their chemistry is definitely enough to cause a reaction. Overall, this show is very addicting and well-written. It takes its time and their love endures <333

Who doesn't love a bad boy/good girl romance? With all the thrills and problems it implies . . .

*Discussion of Red Flags at the end*

This modern romance has the life/death feel of a historical drama set in the present day. Li Xun is your black sheep general or heir, highly strategic, intelligent, competent and cold as ice. Zhu Yun is your earnest and bubbly sheltered daughter of a palace adviser who has a hidden righteous fury. Li Xun could conquer the world in one step, if not for his weaknesses which are the family and friends around him especially Zhu Yun. Their journey to happiness takes years of twists and turns, revenge plots and separations.

The beginning creates a lot of suspense by jumping back and forward in time. The end is touching and perfect acknowledging the years that have passed. In the perfect last flip of perspective, Li Xun never says it, but we get to see that Zhu Yun was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Chen Fei Yu as Li Xun excels at a smirky teenage cool. Zhang Jing Yi as Zhu Yun excels at a straight-forward eagerness and stubbornness. They have excellent chemistry together, but limited range. Even as the years pass, you do not get a sense of any time passing for their characters. There's no large moments of self-doubt, no hidden flaws or temperaments that only come out later on. What you see is what you get. Zhao Zhi Wei as Gao does a much better of job of changing into a more bitter, muddle headed adult.

Music is fine, and I wouldn't really rewatch.

I grade on other criteria:

Complex Themes: 9.0
Men who have chips on their shoulder, jealous, unscrupulous and thirsty to succeed can indeed be bad partners. But, these men can come from any economic class. It's wrong to assume that ambitious men who grow up in poorer circumstances will have bad values compared to those from other wealthier backgrounds. Upfront, straight-forward, reliable people of whatever background are worth a dozen schemers.

Complex Characters/Character Growth: 5.5
Gao changes a lot and it’s a very believable change, that he was unable to accept his own limitations, and had unhealthy level of grudges and aggression that grew with time. Li Xun and Zhu Yun stay very consistent throughout.

Complex Women/Complex Relationships Between Women: 7.5
Zhu Yun and her mother have a very complicated and contentious relationship. With her mother unable to see her potential, and so sure that her daughter is the same as her. So, some points there. Otherwise, there are women friendships and characters but they are drawn a bit thin.

Production Value/Cinematography: 5.0
This is filmed very straight on with not too much creativity to clothes or sets let alone camera angles. There’s a camera choice for the very end where it switches to Li Xun that is powerful, but otherwise this category did not stand out to me at all.


*RED FLAGS*
Both Li Xun and Gao display numerous red flags including: smirking in the face of distress, not showing vulnerability, taking away people’s choices, defensiveness, feeling like you are ‘above the rules’ or ‘above the law,’ a lack of friend/familial relationships, uncomfortable feelings, dreams outsized to current reality, quick to sacrifice other people’s feelings to meet your goals etc.

The highly problematic myth of the bad boy/good girl romance is that the love of a good woman can ‘tame’ or soften a bad boy and these traits, and that myth is highly on display here.

What’s worse is that Zhu Yun shows all the signs of someone in the thrall of limerence/obsession running after Li Xun and getting crumbs for 95% of the show. She declares at the end that she knows he will soften/ripen like a peach, but we the viewers see little indication that that’s the case.

Great Script, Great Casting and tension-filled

This show was so emotionally draining, but in a somewhat, good way? I’m not a fan of high-angst or hate-to-love troupe or the girl chasing the guy storylines and despite Lighter and Princess having all of those, I was pretty much hooked and addicted from the very first episode.

The best part of the drama was casting and script. I hadn’t seen Chen Fei Yu since Ever Night and even then he was a baby doing his best to become the best Martial Artist. I have to say, he did very well in Lighter and Princess as the tortured, cold and stoic chip-on-his-shoulder ML.

Zhang Jing Yi was excellent in Fall in Love and so it didn’t surprise me how well she did in this drama and the chemistry between her and Chen Fei was the BEST part of the drama. The tension between the two was so addicting to watch. I also love that they are close in age. Even though, both are babies in their early twenties, they played the older-parts very well.

I didn’t like that the drama started out in the future. You get the sense something bad happened and then it rewinds and you start the drama from the beginning. After watching that, it like, I was waiting for the ball to drop during the entire series. I guess you could say that amplified the angst for me.

I did enjoy the parts of the kids in college the best. The rag-tag team of kids they casted was pretty adorable and the side storylines were enjoyable. There was the singer, the nerd and the flirt. I liked that the drama was about computer programing, so it was fun for husband to watch with me and explain some of the technical parts of the drama.

There’s a lot of push and pull between the main leads. This is a ROMANCE drama, but not an easy one to watch. The FL truly chases the ML through-out the drama which at some parts could be trying at times, since he’s not the best person. The ML isn’t the hero of the show, as much as we should love him. I do love how strong they wrote his character, but he is written with lots of flaws. But you take the bad with the good and eventually he redeems himself.

Overall, it was a beautiful drama to watch, very fresh and new. I loved the casting and the chemistry between the leads. It’s a tension filled angst fest with lots choices to be made and lots of love to be tested.

You will never regret watching this

probably the best drama I have seen and in 2022
saw this trailer from my YouTube recommendations and spark my attention. waited for 2 months for it to come out as expected it didn't disappoint me. This story plot is so interesting and gives off the fresh youth vibe. The acting was so on point that I fell for both the male and female leads not to mention the villians also did very great. The set up to gao jian hong arc is very understandable and realistic. The music choice for this song is SO SO NICE and the fact that the side cast sang it makes it even better. I love the casting for this drama , Chen feiyu did a amazing job potraying li xun and so is Zhang jingyi I can literally see zhuyun in her. I have finish watching this drama almost about 2 weeks ago 😭 still not over it. I am planning to rewatch it again soon. BUT THIS IS SUPER RECOMMENDED

A Love All Women Want

Lighter and Princess is hands down the best c-drama I have ever seen. The story was exceptionally good. It portrays how we all make mistakes in life but you have to have the grit & determination to jump back up and go after what you want. The love between the main couple is so heartwarming. The FL was steadfast and loyal to her man from the beginning to end. The acting and the chemistry between the leads phenomenal. You can feel the love between them just by the way they look at each other. The music was also very good. I usually don't enjoy Chinese music but the songs in this show are very catchy and it's hard to get them out of your head. I can rewatch this over and over, it is just that good. I would recommend this show to all out there.

SHE WAS PRINCESS AND HE WAS HER KING

Writing a review for the first time.

At first place, I gave it try was just because of its first poster which I came across in Instagram and the actress Zhang Jing Yi. In the course of the journey I started to fall for the Chen Fei Yu's acting skills and expressions.
Unlike any other C-drama this drama's plotline was not too draggy and you could feel the lead's chemistry. Although it was slow burn but there chemistry was on point. And Zhao Zhi Wei did a very good job in playing a negative character.


MUST GIVE IT A TRY, YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

Honest Review

The only reason I was able to watch this till 19 episodes was the male lead. He is damn handsome!!

The story is slow paced and after few episodes is annoying. Everyone is literally on their computers 24×7. At night, at day, at home, at workplace, at school, at restaurant, literally everywhere. This is such an unrealistic drama.

The main lead is a genius who can crack any code within minutes and never fails at anything. He is a super genius who treats his fellow mates poorly and looks down upon them. The female lead has nothing to do except working for the main lead. A drama totally obsessed with computers.

If you are watching this for romance, it's slow paced. Their chemistry is good but the writers failed to present it. Only watch this drama if either you're obsessed with computers and coding or you're obsessed with any of the leads else it's a time waste

One of those dramas that is so good it makes me want to rewatch over and over again...

10+ overall for:
- the characters: relating to and development/arc! - all the characters were done well, and I especially appreciated how both the FL and ML are given the room to grow and space to show their respective qualities in a balanced way
- acting (gahh the chemistry and authenticity of the leads and all the supporting cast are INSANE (they're SO ride or die for each other): the FL actress was not one of those that I immediately fell in love with but I grew to enjoyed watching her performance and I really think she did wonderfully as the FL. I enjoy growing to relate to her and seeing her as a quiet introvert in love and pursuing her passions in life and work, etc. Which I think makes it just that much more stronger as a drama.
- pacing (not a dull moment - well edited and presented - I love the visuals of various seasons as well as the comfy sweaters as well as the coats)
- plot (these parallels! always laser focused and never relents! - this drama covers a good span of time, as well), feat. some of my favorite twists of tropes thanks to how perfectly the lead characters compliment each other and also instigate each other's growth, great for those who also love seeing redemption arcs and healing and second chances ;)
- the ost - the MUSIC - yup. def. solidified my love for Chen Xue Ran's music compositions. Also the songs that he didn't compose but from the artists are simply fantastic and varied for a modern cdrama - impressed! The title song The King and The Knight will certainly end up being one of my most replayed ost songs xD but I've been listening to the entire ost on repeat~
- overall a beautiful story with beautiful humans for characters. I don't think I've ever so thoroughly enjoyed a modern "romcom" drama to the very end (but I feel that tag doesn't do this drama justice at all since it's more like a coming of age in some aspects than romcom, oh well, just suffice to say that this feat. a lot of solid storytelling and characters, and it has its share of pain and angst along with all the fluffy yet utterly realistic moments).

The ending is perfect as well. I feel COMPLETED. #themostbeautifulmomentsinlife :)

One of those dramas that is so good it makes me want to rewatch over and over again... all around a beautiful journey.

The One Who Never Betrayed Him....

Overview of Plot:

Lighter and Princess is the story that follows Li Xun and Zhu Yun, students of Computer Science... Li Xun, a true genius in computer programming in the internet world... The top scorer in the college entrance examination but not interested in cooperating with his batchmates and loves to work alone. Zhu Yun, a pampered girl from a wealthy family, enrolled in the Computer Science Department because her parents made this decision for her.

Li Xun and Zhu Yun are like fire and water and don't have a favorable opinion of each other from their very first interaction, yet fate made them encounter each other again and again. What will happen when they start to fall for each other, will the water evaporate or the fire go out, dive in to know more...

Key Characters:

Li Xun (Chen Fei Yu): An arrogant and aloof genius who loves to work alone. Making friends is a waste of time for him. His computer is his wife and coding is his life. A hardworking person who believes in his own abilities. He desires and works hard to develop a software to help society. He is a person who has flaws but also many qualities. As a leader, he thinks well of the members of his team but his method of doing things for their development may not be right for everyone. As I said previously, he has flaws, it's one of his flaws, but it's what makes him more realistic.

Zhu Yun (Zhang Jing Yi): An innocent and cheerful girl and princess of her parents. Not a clingy type but actually intelligent, loyal, and responsible person. Because of her protective parents, she is a bit naive and not fully aware of the cruelty of the world. She used to be an obedient girl and her parents made every decision for her in life until she met Li Xun. She is a person who knows how to acknowledge other's intelligence and never afraid of admitting her defeat.

My Impressions:

This drama is literally good. The thing that touched my heart is that Zhu Yun never betrayed Li Xun even after that much happened between them. She never broke up with him even when Li Xun tried every means to make that happen. She supported him when everyone was against him. Though Li Xun is a genius, but in my opinion, after his fall, without Zhu Yun supporting him unconditionally, he would have never achieved whatever he wanted to do lawfully. She is one of the best female characters I have come across. She is loyal and determined towards her love.

As for Li Xun, I think his own behavior isn't that great to become a favorite of mine. He has flaws, so has everyone, but that doesn't justify rude behavior with others. One might be a genius but when living in society, one still needs to be considerate of the feelings of his close ones or friends. Being rude to anyone in public might lead to hostility and if the other person holds grudges, it will lead to downfall even of a genius. Teaching someone by scolding in public or by being rude can never be a good way, even if it's for their own good. People may justify his behavior saying that he is a genius so he can be rude because he has ability and is realistic but that's not how society works. If rude behavior and arrogance can be justified because he is a genius then no one should complain about what happened to him after that and should not put the blame on Gao Jian Hong, his jealousy is also justifiable by then.

Additionally, compared to Li Xun, Gao Jian Hong was way worse. He wanted to compete with Li Xun. He could have done it fair and square but the means he adopted can never be acceptable. He doesn't know how to admit his defeat and lacks the bravery of admitting other person's intelligence being higher than his. This lead him to end up losing everything, including his own abilities, intelligence, and of course his friends which could have become his most important support in his life. He destroyed everything he once had by his own hands because of jealousy and hatred.

There is one more character I loved other than Zhu Yun. It's Tian Xiu Zhu. He is so fine, not having a single flaw. He has a sense of humor and is very supportive. He is definitely boyfriend material.

Acting and Chemistry:

Acting was pretty good by leads and also from other actors. Despite the young age of leads they delivered great emotions making viewers smile with them and feeling heartbreak with them. From being naive and cheerful to mature and serious, Zhang Jing Yi played everything beautifully, so did Chen Fei Yu. The chemistry both the leads have, can be considered as top-notch. Li Xun's teasing is on another level, honestly.

Overall it was an emotional ride from comedy to heart-wrenching moments... For me, the most worth watching thing in this drama is Zhu Yun. She is the reason I stayed with this drama. Stream or skip it's up to you now..

Lighter and Princess - Perfeito!

O que dizer sobre esse c-drama? O casal exala química do começo ao fim. Toda vez que o Li Xun olhava para a Zhu Yun eu suspirava hahahahah
As músicas são simplesmente perfeitas, até pesquisei quase todas, porque todas se encaixavam tão lindamente em cada contexto da história.
O desenvolvimento do drama é muito bom, mas lá pelo episódio 20 fiquei meio cansada e ansiosa para que chegasse logo para o tempo atual da história para ver todo o caos e a vingança que poderia surgir, mas valeu a pena esperar.
A única coisa que me deixou bem incomodada foi a maneira que o Gao Jian Hong se tornou um vilão digno de puro ódio e o seu final foi ser livre e longe de todas as consequências finais dos seus atos e apenas o Fang Zhi Jing pagou por algumas de suas ações.
