Cute Programmer (2021)

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Immature FL & ML relationship due to inability to communicate ANYTHING!

The description of this drama sounded interesting. In my head it was going to be a mix of bromance mixed with love o20. I will say it was somehow an easy watch despite it being so frustrating. The plot line was exhausting and repetitive, but for some reason I kept watching it. The whole show can be summed up with the FL and the ML both having awful communication and a general immaturity with no ability to think from the others perspective. It was so ingrained in the plot that really I walked away from this show asking myself what the point of it was. Most of the problems between the main couple came from one assuming that one knew something even if they didn’t say it, and somehow expecting there to be trust. A lot of people seemed to think the ML was the worst of the two in this show, and granted he was very childish and made incredibly naive albeit innocent decisions. But considering how the marriage was forced on him, and her never telling him….anything…even when he tried to communicate, I actually found myself understanding his actions better than hers, and by the end her stubbornness was driving me bonkers. ML had character growth while FL’s dwindled. This show was one of the first times I felt no satisfaction in the final couple.

On the upside, I did enjoy the side characters, particularly FL’s best friend and her coworkers. I even liked ML’s sisters character, which some might find annoying as she was rather aggressive and….loud, with the pursuit of her love interest. But she was at least earnest enough that I found her commitment and conviction to him endearing.

Honestly, I quite like it, perhaps more precisely, I almost really don't like the storyline. The main female character is very beautiful, patient, graceful, cheerful, innocent and forgiving.

I don't understand why she still wants to be with the main male character who is a jerk, childish, selfish, has no brain, doesn't want to give in and many more after knowing the fact that he only wants to get married because of his parents' pressure and threats and other mistakes.

As a man, I am already very disgusted with the character and behavior of this man, maybe the female audience will be forgiven and excused because of his handsomeness lol.

depois dos primeiros episódios melhora tanto que nem parece o mesmo drama

A pior parte do drama é o início, pra mim foi quase torturante os primeiros 7 episódios em que ela se veste de homem. Não faz nenhum sentido essa parte, acho que poderiam ter mostrado outra solução pra Lu Li entrar na empresa sem ser daquela forma. Por isso, pra mim o drama só começou a ficar mais interessante e mostrar a que veio depois disso que é quando eles se casam (um casamento por contrato) e a ex dele, Li Man, volta. Aí vem o clichê que eu gosto de assistir.
Em resumo, 1) eu gostei de como a Lu Li passou de uma garota boba pra uma pessoa com mais amor próprio, mais esperta e que não se contenta com migalhas. A separação deles foi fundamental pro desenvolvimento dela e do Yi Cheng. 2) A Li Man é aquela personagem detestável que até certo ponto ainda consegui ter um pouco de empatia. 3) O arco do drama mais chato que eu não faria a menor falta era o da amiga da Lu Li e o “irmão” Gu Mo. 4) O fato de não ter um casamento de verdade no fim não me incomodou, gostei do pedido de casamento no final, foi bem fora do comum e fiquei até surpresa. O que não gostei foi a Lu Li ter passado quase a metade do drama grávida e ficou por isso mesmo.
Por fim, achei bem fofinho e foi um drama gostoso de acompanhar.
