Hi!
Yes, the vertical lines can be fixed with a soldering iron (heating the lower side of the screen).
But, unfortunately this cannot be done for horizontal lines…
I’m afraid you need to replace the screen. This won’t be easy as soldering is required.
Guide: Game Boy Screen Replacement
Also another option is to replace the complete board and screen with an IPS kit. This requires no soldering, but could be more expensive.
Replacing it for an IPS one is the one I recommend!

I wanted to keep it as original as possible so I might not buy ips screen but thank you for you answer I appreciate your help
Ah, I totally understand!
In this case you do need to replace the screen…
Sorry for the bad news..
