Lighter and Princess

This story really moved me.

I have seen tons of cdramas and categorize them by: 1. Do not pass first episode 2. Good enough to watch at least half but eventually drop them 3. Watch until the end but skipping parts 4. Watch until the end really hooked and rewatch favorite scenes.

This one fall definitively in the last category.

I could relate with the characters . Love that they have flaws and their own emotional handicaps and limitations. Their chemistry is great.

The love story is engaging and even if you have some drama (that I usually hate) it's very well managed as not to be oppressive.

Also has its flaws and sometimes you get irritated by some behaviors but I found them believable ( yes sometimes you just can't move on and do stupid things).

Nice beginning and ending (ends well so it's worth the wait).

It's has been a wile since I enjoyed a cdrama this much :)

I can safely say that this series is the best Chinese series I have seen. It has a very good and engaging story telling, relationships are depicted naturally and realistically, there are no awkward, exaggerated kissing or other scenes (which is usual for Asian series, where a kiss is already a big deal), it is simply depicted romantically and sensually. It is also important to mention that all the characters are unique and have different life stories, and it also realistically shows how people's lives can change after graduating from university. An important issue has been raised about the control of Chinese parents.

In summary, I could say that this series shows a consistent and realistic story of how the characters and their lives change over the years.

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.

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.

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.
