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..
