Ah I rarely cry while watching dramas, but I teared up when I finished this drama. The main couple have so much chemistry that it didn’t even feel like they were acting.
The ML, Li Xun is such an interesting character…he is so deliciously flawed, but you can’t help rooting for him to be truly happy even when the knuckle head is actively taking decisions to ruin his own happiness. He was definitely madly in love with Zhu Yun, and he proved it to her in many ways. Unfortunately, he is prone to self sabotage, and that is probably because he had a hard childhood, and has experienced loss all his life, so when he is cornered, he goes all out without caring about the consequences. He is also very capable and confident, so he doesn’t fear ruining his life because he believes he can always build himself back up. Thankfully, with Zhu Yun as his anchor, he stopped being so hard on himself and finally allowed himself to let go of things and be happy with her. Past Li Xun would never let go of Gao jiahong otherwise.
I could write a whole thesis about Zhu Yun, she is one of the purest and bravest Fl I have ever seen, because it takes courage to love a man like Li Xun, but for Zhu Yun, absolutely no other man will do. I was really rooting for her all through this series, and I’m so happy she got full closure and a happy ending with the love of her life.
As for that weasel gao jiahong, I think the writers of this drama let him off too easily. He had always been plagued with debilitating inferiority complex to Li Xun, but he went too far with his actions, especially the last stunt he pulled with Zhu Yun. That was beyond despicable, he didn’t deserve the pity party last arc, and he didn’t redeem himself enough imo. If Fang Zhijing could go to jail, I don’t see why gao jiahong would go scot free considering they are both partners in crime.
I don’t want to make this post too long but lighter and princess is a must watch, with flawed but loveable characters. This is definitely going on my rewatch list if only so I could see the heart fluttering stares, kisses and warm hugs between Zhu Yun and Li Xun over and over again.
I don’t even blame him, those useless cultivators even cannibalise his dead relatives, not to mention the original FL is an actual assassin sent by the demon realm. It’s actually sad that he is just so lonely that he decided to keep only her with him cos according to the truth spell, she doesn’t have the instinct to kill him…yet. He is probably paranoid though, which is why he keeps asking her if she is ready to kill him now as her cultivation increases. Poor guy.
I dislike the way Ye Ruling is taking advantage of Tingyan’s naivety and fondness for her. Even if she wants to save her family, she can just come clean to Tingyan, instead of scheming behind her back.
Seriously, how did LTY make it in the real world. She is so ditsy. But her calming quality with SJ is cute as…
She probably would have been just a normal person in the modern world, but I think the way she acts currently in the cultivation world is quite realistic. Even normal people in modern world, when they get to a country they aren’t familiar with are quite clueless, talk more about being randomly transported to an ancient cultivation world to serve a grandmaster that kills people over mere annoyance. She is relatable asf imo, and her lack of interest in anything is what is keeping her alive at this point.
This is my first Arthur Chen drama, and I quite like his acting style. He plays the cold, arrogant male lead to perfection…like it has never occurred to him a day in his life that he is not actually perfect. And his voice is simply amazing too. I started watching “Lighter and Princess” where he plays a similar cold and arrogant role as a buffer while I wait for new episodes from this drama. And somehow, he looks more handsome in modern dramas, which is rare for Cdrama actors imo. I guess this drama will have a modern arc, so I can’t wait to see him there.
I feel like him constantly asking her if she wants to kill him under the truth spell and hearing her say “No” is probably a source of consolation for him, considering the fact that those vile immortal sect members didn’t even spare the dead bodies of his clansmen.
The Fl is so hilarious. I love her so much. ML: after finally defeating those evil sect masters asks her...”so what are your thoughts about this? ”.
FL: “your waist is so slim, … you must have been starved into this shape”. Lmao.
I would be thinking the same at that moment dear. What do the deaths of those evil ass cultivators have to do with her, as long as the ML is still the most powerful.
Seems like immortal sect being utterly despicable is the norm now in Cdramas. In this case, both immortal sect and demon realm are bottom of the barrel evil. I can’t wait for the male lead to take revenge on all of them.
I’m really enjoying this drama. Imagine waking up one morning and you find yourself in the cultivation world, bruhh. She is so funny and realistic. Poor girl is just trying to stay alive, serve the main boss, enjoy herself and slack off. Can’t wait for more episodes!
I come to watch this drama because Coroners Diary, too. Is it really worth to watch? And I want to know, has it…
Yes, it’s worth the watch imo. There are no outright comedic characters per se but there are lots of light hearted moments, and the second couple are very adorable too.
