If you liked LLGT then you will definitely like the lighter & princess. Even though they have different genre and plot but chemistry and tension between lead is same. Li Xun and Ling Buyi are very much similar, they both love their FL to the point they can do anything for them but at the same time hide many things from them for their safety. Zhu Yun and Cheng ShaoShang also have many similarities, they are headstrong and can fight with anyone for their love, they both support their partner selflessly. They both have mothers who try to take control of their life and supporting father. SML in both drama are reliable friend for them after separation in drama.

Both dramas are focused on First Love ( one in school and one in college).
The leads are quite different but fall in love anyways and are separated by fate's plan.
Both dramas show the leads with heavy baggage in their lives.
The lovers reconcile years later and still love each other.
Road home is focused more on the couple after reconciliation and is really romantic, Yet L&P has a darker tone and the leads take a while before they can reconcile fully.

Most of the recommendations suggest shows with almost the exact same plot, characters or ideas but i wanna recommend this drama.
Reason?? Because of the way the two main leads are drawn to each other. How they just end up clicking and everything flows so naturally for them with ups and downs.
I dont know they both have a similar vibe for me definitely recommend checking out MARS.

So you like bad boys do you?

Lighter and Princess is set in modern times, but it has the life and death drama of a historical/wuxia and features a toxic bad boy. But, unlike Kunning palace, while he rages and is disrespectful to pretty much everyone, he is gentlest with the main female lead, and genuinely sacrifices his goals for her at various points.

L&P starts in college while FYTWFMB starts in high school, but in both the main leads get off on the wrong foot and start to fall for each other before the male lead is sent to prison because of a betrayal. The leads reconnect afterwards.

Both MLs go to prison after injuring in revenge someone who hurt/killed someone they love, reuniting with the FL years later.

The lead relationships have similar dynamics full of playful banter and heart-fluttering moments. Both dramas have seemingly cold but caring male leads and spirited female leads. While Lighter and Princess centers on talented youth in computer science, Falling into your smile follows a top e-sports team as they strive for a national title. There are heavier topics in L&P, but FIYS has comparable main characters.

A love so beautiful was also one of my favorite C-Dramas way back 2017, and it is also quite comparable to Lighter and Princess (Arguably the best C-drama of 2022 because it trends like a hot fire). ALSB was lighter than L&P, because L&P have a lot of scene that can make you cry. It also had the same ML who's a genius and a jerk but still have some differences. Meanwhile, for the FL, they were completely different tho. Next similar thing was the Timeskip (where leads broke up for many years and find their way again) because from L&P they have college days and a timeskip to office/working days, which is both good!! Don't worry that is not a major spoiler because that is basically the ep. 1 of L&P. Actually, when i first saw L&P i quickly thought of ALSB haha both are good but if i were to choose, i'll go for L&P because it was a very well produced modern C-Drama and the romance build-up was amazing!! The OST's, Visual and Chemistry of the leads are also top notch so if you love ALSB then don't miss L&P!!!!

I thought of Start-Up while watching L&P. Both have good storylines and acting. MLs are both in IT. FL are both nice and sassy although the FL in LP chased the ML a lot more than Start Up. The OST is good in both and added to the show. There is a lot more humour in Start UP in the beginning. The chemistry is similar in that it is slow burn and really good. There is a also a start up in both shows and a time jump.
the SML in Start up is much much more interesting character than Start Up.
Lastly the ML in Start Up is way way nicer than the ML in LP.

Both stories are about university life, enemies to lovers, super cute!! They're both strongly based on the idea of being your best self and working towards a goal. I love the team dynamic of both couples and they do have some similarities like starting a start up and smart ML and FML.
