Cute Programmer (2021)

DO NOT RECCOMEND

Everyone here keeps complaining about the insufferable ML and while I agree the FL isn’t a good person either, she essentially stalked him for five years and then it was glamorised to be this secret love type thing, lied about her gender just to be close to him and as if that wasn't creepy enough she slept with him when he was drunk and out of his senses and he was in the wrong? She didn't even try stop him she gladly went along with it then lied in the morning when he asked if anything happened. We're supposed to feel pity that he doesnt love her after their marriage but she came in KNOWING it was just to satisfy his parents he didn't like her and there was a chance he never would but she couldn't accept that. After she finally decides to leave him she also hides the fact that she is pregnant with HIS child. Somehow I'm supposed to support her becuase she doesnt want him tl stay out of obligation but for love? He has a right to that child just as much as she does and after he finds out she's pregnant she carries on lying that it wasn't her child. Yes, she is a more likeable charecter but she did some heinous things, I kept watching hoping that someone would recogonise the problem with her actions but no. Anyways would not reccomend.

Slave of love

The right title for this drama is supposed to be slave of love. Because of all of the couples here, one of them is gonna be the victim of a slave of love.

I enjoy the ride, I laugh and cry with them. But that can't cover what is lacking in this drama.

If you jump in this drama really hoping to see women in action in the programming world of course you're gonna be disappointed. This is just another romance fluffy drama with a lot of insistence. The most famous quote in this drama is that persistence brings miracles. Well... That's not always the case, sometimes it only happens in the drama world.

We have 3 stupid couple with crazy though of love. Our nominated couple:
1. Jiang Yi Cheng (YC) & Lu Li (LL). LL is just stupid girl that I really want to slap her at first to get her back to her sense. Thanx God she finally can snap back to reality & given YC his own lesson. But for me in the end she still too easy to forgive & forget.
2. Chen Yi Ming (YM) & Jiang Zi Tong (ZT). ZT is one very stubborn woman. I don't know to classify her as stupid or just plain woman. It's kind a miracle I think when someone can change their feeling toward other from sister to woman, very unlikely it's gonna be happen. And she just wait persistencely, what if he never change his feeling & just find another woman....
3. Gu Xiao Qi (XQ) & Gu Mo (GM). GM is really one stupid man. I can't find another word for describe him. He just secretly love with XQ & just do anything possible to make XQ be single... If that's in reality maybe it's actually kinda creepy or maybe once more it's like Lily and Marshal said in 'How I met your mother,' if you like them it became endearing if you don't like them it become creepy.

And we also have cute couple of...
4. The parent (YC & LL). The dads is the one we said afraid of his wife, but in this case is not because of fear instead because of love. They are also one victim of slave of love 🤭. But i really love the interaction of YC parent...

Overall this just one stupid fluffy romance. Watch it if that's what u like. Nothing missing if u not watch it though

Not perfect but just my cup of tea

LIKE

When Lu Li was having hotpot with her colleagues at home and what happened next which was pretty hilarious

The regret Yi Cheng had after realised his true feelings - I loved that period.. I guess I'm kind of crazy lol

When Yi Cheng asked Lu Li if "XX" is... and Jing Wen responded - that was awesome really

DISLIKE

Li Man's selfish character

Yi Cheng who could not make up his mind who he loves

MUSIC - personal fav

爱的不是我 Ai De Bu Shi Wo - 尹姝贻 Yin Shu Yi
幸福支配 Xing Fu Zhi Pei - 张宇俊如 Zhang Yu Jun Ru, 臧一人 Zang Yi Ren

REWATH VALUE

Surprisingly, this drama is in my must re-watch list as I enjoyed the whole journey

Simple and cute

I am writing this review because I love the character of the FL that is Lu Li I am still in episode 22 but I could relate with the character since the very beggining.

Specially in episode 21 when she decides to leave. I am someone who has experienced something similar and i decided to leave. So it is a really relatable situation for me.

According to me they lack communication if the ML would tell her where he is going and try and understand the FL they would probably have a better relationship.

Overall the acting of all the characters are great. I need more if the second and the third couple. Speacially Yiming and Zhitong.

Shut off your brain...No Logic Allowed

I am into fluff these days and this series fit the bill.

The story is about a girl who like a guy unrequitedly because he helped her when she felt lost. A guy whose been burned by love whose prejudice against girls in his field caused major misunderstanding between the leads at first.

Here are points of what I like and dislike:
- the gender bender ended quickly, I can't bear seeing her wear that hideous wig.
- the FL is headstrong, although admittedly she loses herself when it comes to the ML but personally, i think in real life there are girls like her.
- the FLs bestie is the best. She does not push her opinions on her friend but she supports her with whatever decision she makes.
- the ML is dumb, that's the most positive way to describe him when it comes to love. He's not hung up on his old flame but because he feels guilty about his misconception of her, he gives her some of his time which gives her hope that there's a chance to rekindle their affair.
- the MLs best friend like the FLs bestie is awesome. He was not written as a 2nd lead that we get sick of because he didn't end up with the FL. He supports her and tries to put some sense on the ML but the ML being dumb as he is does not understand his friend's good will.
- The FLs teammates, 4 musketeers of the team A of programming, made the workplace lively and their teamwork and camaraderie is cute, they made the scenes in the office funny and endearing.
- The Ex GF, Li Man is the ex we hate the most. She's under the illusion that the ML has not moved on and can't forget her. I mean, she made his old company go broke, she blamed it on his mom's dislike and she disappeared to improve herself. It's all sugarcoated BS. She should not have had the face to show up in front of him but she's brazen and so confident that she can't get him back.

The OST is cute.
As for the rewatch value, I would when I need to shut off my brain and watch nonsense.

All in all it was not a bad story, it's a usual romcom, the story is what we're used to but the chemistry between the leads didn't work well for me. I've seen them act way better than what we've seen here. The only reason I scored this at around 6 is because the comedy worked for me.

Why Cute?

The title is not corresponding to the meaning of the series.
When they want to say that women can do it, they must not mention how cute or not is a woman. They lose the target.
It was a bit boring in the beginning but after about ten episodes the style changes and becomes faster.
The two male leads give a serious advantage to the series, but the plot is having some gaps.
Anyway it was a pleasant series to get your time by but nothing more this. I have seen more interesting ones that include a lot of technological data and innovations as well.

WHO WROTE THIS DRAMA (smh ... sigh)

From the beginning... this drama line... OMG... went from immature silly to ridiculous to *Who In The Hell Wrote this Drama*.
You have Amazing Casts... especially with a top hitter actor Xing Zhao Lin.
Yet in my personal opinion the drama couldn't be saved ... even if they pulled in 10 star casts.
This drama gave little to be desired and by the Last five eps .. my question is *WTH.. Who wrote this?* (sarcastically that is)
Well... 1350 of my viewing hours into the garbage. I took a gamble to watch this...

Personal rating ... 2/10 (that's stretching it)
Unfortunately I personally will not recommend it..
HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that it's not your type of drama. You may like it, love it or regret watching it. The decision is yours.

Full of nonsense

I looked forward to watching this drama, however, it ended up being nonsense.
If you are looking for a drama that made you 'feel good' by watching it, this might not be suitable for you.
You'll end up getting angry with the character that was built through the storyline.

The ML character that was supposed to be charismatic, handsome, and talented programmer seemed to be very childish and rude. The FL character that was supposed to be a smart female programmer ended up being foolish due to love.

In conclusion, it's okay to watch if you want to, but it's not a good show in my opinion.

I love this kind of story interesting even it's a toxic one but there's no perfect relationship!

Yes a little bit annoying especially the ML that he don't know how to express his feelings toward the FL but if you watch the whole story and focus on it it is a good story at all.From the very day it's start airing I really love it and I can't wait to watch the whole episode There is a scene that irritates you especially Li Man a very scheming ex girlfriend that but I really love their great acting skills especially Bambi Zhu(Xu Zhudan) she's really beautiful and I feel the pain what she suffers I highly recommemd it to everyone that you should watch it. It's worth it from the story itself you can tell that it's almost same story as You are My Destiny but it's different.If your not a fan of Chinese dramas or whatsoever don't watch it we don't need a nonsense opinion towards this drama.By the way I still love it and I always stick to this drama.

Very Very Very Melodramatic.

Like in the whole drama i think if we collect all the scenes in which the male and female lead were happy it will just account to 4 or 5 episodes thats it.
half the time the ML and FL were either in a misunderstanding or fighting (lol that's the same thing i guess😅)

The ending was pretty cute though.

i feel like it would have been really better if the drama was not that melodramatic. And i feel like the FL is very very selfless. If not for the ending i feel like i would have hated this drama.
The casting was pretty cool though. they acted really well. Especially wang yi ming. he is so freaking cute. it would have been so nice if had a love life and more scenes. looking forward to more of his dramas.

i really like how supporting the parents are and i feel like this is one of those dramas which actually depicts realistic parents.

though everything was pretty nice i dont like the story line. just too much disappointment from both sides. i wished for more happy scenes and at a point i got fed up f the drama. i just completed because i had to. the only thing that touched my heart is the ending.

if you ask me whether i'll suggest this drama to someone then no i will not

Clichéd brainfart

Nothing new about this story. It seems very very unrealistic just as any other ceo-employee love stories. What ceo is this hot lmao! Hated the FL's outfits, she ain't a kid ,even 12 year olds don't dress like her. Typical plotline and it DID NOT require 30 eps. This story is easily 16 eps worth. Acting isn't great. Also there was a scene where the male employees were peaking at female employee while they were in their swim suits. Surprisingly,they were never punished(as in severe action taken against them) for such a behaviour.

The only thing that was slightly interesting is the love story between the second male and female leads, they deserved to have more screen time since it was painful to watch the lead couple barely move their facial muscle.
She is recruited to be a programmer for a team that is barely shown properly programming or brainstorming and just added some "technical" sounding words to justify the title. I cringed whenever these half-assed so-called technical jargon were thrown around. Also ceo has got a LOT of time to mess with her, what ceo even meets employees like everyday?

How come she was never charged for impersonation? Or something along the lines of fooling a huge company by pretending to be someone else? That's weird. The FL got no spine to talk back when it's needed. If she actually did, they are weak comebacks that makes you want to punch someones face. Gurrlll think smart for once!!!!!!!!!!!!!
