Title Lighter & Princess
I didnt know what to expect when I started this drama a few weeks ago. It kept showing up in YouTube and I ignored…
I actually think that China is really bad at naming titles, especially drama titles. Just look, there are so many dramas with similar titles, and there are several dramas with the exact same title. In fact, often their titles are unattractive and sound carelessly chosen, have nothing to do with the drama or are meaningless. I'm really bothered to see that there are 1-3 dramas called "first love". And there are dramas with the titles "falling into you", "falling into your smile", "falling into you". And there are some dramas that have the phrase "meeting you". There are two dramas called "fall in love". In essence, most of these dramas are about two people who fall in love, but couldn't they make the title sound more interesting and make people curious? To be honest, some of these dramas have a good story, it's just that if I just look at the title and don't see the synopsis or review of the drama, I probably won't watch it. I try to ignore this, but sometimes the way they come up with drama titles is really annoying. However, when I first read "Lighter & Princess", to be honest, the title intrigued me. Yes, it makes me feel at first glance is this another drama about a handsome prince & spoiled princess from a rich family 😒 ? However, what makes me think this might be different is the "Lighter" section. It made me wonder what a "lighter" has to do with a drama, or what it's trying to convey. And after watching this drama, I feel that L&P as the title fits perfectly, really 'captures' the essence of this drama. Oh, another thing that bothers me about Chinese dramas is the synopsis in international forums they make (I've never read the original synopsis in Chinese). There are synopsis that often differ from the original story (even if only a few details differ), there are also those that make you misunderstand the contents of the drama. Some even immediately tell briefly how the storyline of the drama goes from beginning to end (you've been told how the drama reaches the climax, overcomes the climax, until it reaches the end)😂, really funny. On the other hand, this last type of synopsis actually really helps me to find out how a drama goes with spoilers, that's not a problem, because I'm a person who likes spoilers.
