Overall, a nice drama with very dorky and fun moments throughout. Our OTP are a very nice couple as are the secondary couple. It’s refreshing not to have the over the top male and also a FL who is so understanding and mature. The parents were awesome too.
I enjoyed Jung_E very much. I liked the nods to some classic sci-fi movies. The opening sequence was superb. Hard to imagine how Kim Hyun Joo is so different here to her character in Trolley 🤣
Overall, an enjoyable and aspirational watch. Gu Nanting was a bit over the top initially, then settled into a journey of change. Sometimes, the opponents seemed to get the upper hand too often and Gu’s best friend took advantage of their friendship unnecessarily. Cheng Xiao was great and the close friends and colleagues balanced out the stories quite well. Gu’s mum was a delight.
I have watched three episodes so far. Show is well made with a good cast and I like the premise, but it still hasn’t grabbed me yet. I will keep going, though…
I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Yang Mi was awesome. The final ten episodes are good and not like some have said. We might not agree with some of the choices by the leads, but the stories are worked through well. Good cast, awesome tortoises and catchy tunes 😊
My thoughts are Lighter and Princess promised so much in the early episodes. The initial episodes were powerful, gripping and the perfect set-up for success to failure to success.
To be honest, although the university years sequence was quite good, I really wanted to stay in the here and now and watch things bloom and grow. So, what I found is the second half played out much differently to what I expected.
I found the last six episodes I watched undermined the whole viewing experience for me, so much so I had decided to walk away from this show with two episodes to go. However, I did ffwd through Ep 35 instead and haven’t bothered with the finale.
I liked the OTP, even though I thought Li Xun was over the top at times. Zhu Yun was suitably dorky. I had mixed feelings about the second leads though. Story wise, I wasn’t convinced re the police investigation into the cybercrime aspects. That’s not how these things would have unfolded.
I liked the OST.
I can appreciate why many rated L&P very highly. For me though, it went from 10 down to 7.5. My conclusion: it is one of this shows you have to watch and judge for yourself.
Overall, a decent sci-fi actioner. It had a good start and finish. The middle sequence needed more depth. The CGI/special effects were superb. Looks like there might be a sequel?
Wonderful - best show of the year for me, and there have been some fine productions. A wonderful performance by Kim Hye soo. The Queen well and truly lived up to the symbol of the umbrella. Graceful from beginning to end. A mother protecting her cubs in the lion’s den and then some. Also, a special shout out to the Queen Dowager. Perhaps, the most menacing adversary I have seen. Sure, we have seen some crazy ones over the years, and they have been awesome. But, Kim Hae Sook portrayed her role as the Dowager from her bones. There are so many other aspects to this show eg we have the Crown Prince and Princess - such a lovely couple. Dive in, immerse yourself in the experience and you will come out the other side with a smile on your face.
