Two Wasted Days of My Life!!
Anyone thinking of watching this drama don't waste your time!! I have finally watched it after putting it off for a year. I thought it can't be as bad as the reviews say but trust me it was worst.I feel likt this drama should have been made in the early 2000s. This drama is not a good reflection of a modern love story. The script was all over the place and you can tell the drama doesn't know what its suppose to be so it comes across as super cringey. It was a hidden gender/ office romance/ contract marriage drama that became too exhausting to be truly enjoyed.
The female was something else! Lu Li was not a character one can realisticly sympathize with. No one like should exist. I have seen innocent FLs I have seen the doormats type and the stupid naive oness but this girl is in a league of her own. I can honestly say I have no idea why she loved the ML. This man was not desirable in any way. He was obtuse, dense, asshole and a ridicolous Jerk for no reason. Usually in dramas all ML as the typic assholes but the one redeemable quality that they all shared is when they accepted their love for the FL they never hesitated to protect and show their love. This ML was the worst!! The FL I just wanted to scream at to get a life and stop obsessing over this man for no reason. She has loved him for years and doesn't even really know him. Lu Li's manner of talking was super annoying. She sounded like a 12 year old when she tried to seem innocent and cute.
The storyline dragged for so long and for no good reason. At the end of it I still wasn't convinced their relationship was worth saving. When she decided to divorce was the only time I genuinely like the FL for making a smart choice. The ML needed to grow up and start therapy.
Anyways the visuals for this drama is ok.. The acting is so so.. The characters even less likable. I prefered the ML in other dramas such as Eternal love and You are my Destiny. He had more chemistry with his FL in those dramas.

Cute Programmer is a very good business romantic drama adaptation from the manhwa "No Programmer Can Be So Cute!" by Tianyi Icartoon and Vitality Studio. Although the drama has some comedic moments and characters, there are some heart tugging moments that are very well delivered by the actors. The leading couple takes some time to develop mutual feelings and longer to trust each other, but their journey is believable and their love for one another remained steadfast. There are some cliché incidents but this drama is not to be compared with “You are My Destiny” in any way. Although he learns that his ex girlfriend (the main antagonist) was not totally responsible for his company’s troubles a few years ago and he shows her some sympathy as she tries to manipulate him, it is clear that he is not harboring amorous feelings toward her but just a kind of care for her struggles. Although the leading male is of high intellect, his has a low emotional intelligence that caused him to make errors in judgment and the leading lady doubted his love for her for too long, their journey to love and trust each other is nicely done and endearing. There are two more couples that provide some nice moments aside from the leading couple but the drama never loses its focus on the “cute programmer”. Overall, although the drama is not perfect, the actors delivered their characters well and it is entertaining. Enjoy it! Was this review helpful to you?

This drama will cause you some frustration but you will also have a good laugh.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!I give this a 5/10.
Even though the ml was trash in the beginning, he was treated poorly during the rest of this drama. Was guilt tripped and obligated to marry the fl, then gets indirectly sexual harassed by the fl while he is drunk and ends up having intercourse with her, without his consent. Not only that, but she just runs away and whenever he tried to communicate with her, she said "it's no use" and refused to explain herself. She then gets pregnant, involves herself with another guy and when the ml tries to win her back, she lies about everything, that the second ml is the father, that they are dating and so on. At least both of them had some sort of a character development in the end, but still doesn't pay off, all the things the fl did and no one even decided to give her the blame. If it was the other way around, everyone would be hating on the male lead instead. Plus the relationship between the sister's ml and the best friend was so rushed in the last two episodes, to the point it looked so superficial. They shouldn't have let one of the most important side couples to the end. But well, at least they all had a good ending, and there where many scenes where I had a good laugh and that's what matters.

female lead need to get some sense talken into her
first of all, this drama is rage bate.this male lead is the shittiest version of a man. he is dominating, stupid, toxic, and stuck up on his questionable ex.
the female lead is also pretty dumb. she disguised as a man, struggled, and made herself look stupid just to be closer to a piece of shit. the has absolutely no self respect. i mean even when the leads got into a contractual marriage, she was still thinking "oh, atleast i am the one he is married to". like bruhhh!! how narrow minded do you have to be to think this way.
spoiler alert!!:
she gets pregnant! i mean what were we even expecting.
overall the male lead is a spoilt little child with little brain and jerk personality while the female lead does not have any self respect and is a certified doormat. DO NOT RECOMEND. (also ending was extremely mehhh)

Good or bad depends on you
Its a lighthearted drama with a bit of angst.First 20 eps you would watch Fl been treated not too kindly by ML. A lot of misunderstandings - one step forward,two steps back.
Then she~d had enough, find out she~s pregnant and left .
I endured with little complains but skiped through some of the story.Kind of lost respect for the writters of the script.
There were a little things that were silly, but Im watching for fun or so I though.
At the end what broke the camels back was the lie about who is the father of the baby.
My personal opinion is that hidding pregnancy from a parent is unethical. But considering this is dramaland I went with the flow.
Second time around was too much for me. They out right lied to his face. And why? To check his cincerity. Wow. If ML loves her, he would return no matter what. Really? Even if he thinks , she find happines with another?Too much . At the end I watched at 1,5 speed just to finnish.Wanted to know when exactly when FL told ML tha he~s the father but do not have the patience for it.

Cliche love story about a female programmer trying to chase the male lead
To be honest this drama wasn't too bad! I mean definitely it was very cliche and troupey, but at least I was able to finish it.Female lead plays an online game and falls in love with the male lead. Male lead is super smart in programming. Their lives don't really meet until the female lead cross dresses like a guy to be in the male lead's company. He created a rule in his company where there are no female programmers. Their execution of the female lead trying to hide as a male wasn't very good. She was obviously still very cute and pretty with eyeliner and lashes. I guess that wasnt something too strong they focused on, because soon after her identity gets found out. I feel like her identity gets revealed kinda strangely....
This drama is full of cliches, like the ex of male lead coming back and wanting to be together, female lead gets pregnant and decides to leave, eventually getting back together etc...
This drama doesnt focus on programming but more with the relationships between the different characters, like the leads, the second male and female lead and female lead's best friend relationship, as well as male lead's company staff relationship. Its more romance focused.
I love Xing Zhao lin! He is so passionated with his kisses and has good chemistry with all his co stars! A personal bias of mine! I prefer him with Liang Jie !!!! Haha
This drama is a decent , while you got nothing to watch and have some time to kill. But if you can't stand cliches , you probably should skip it!

Mindless entertainment
This is the type of drama where you have to turn off your brain, values and pretty much all sense of... well everything and just let it go and let the stupidity lead you to that next episode. In this highly bingable low quality high entertainment drama.While many dramas will ave you dreading the inevitable brek-up before reconciliation this one had me cheering for the misunderstandings to pile up so that the female lead would finally dump the male lead and settle for a cat, a goat or some cute playboy (or girls) far, far away...
It is also a drama that even with brain power off still had me wondering, if the male lead knows he cant control himself after drinking two drops of alcohol, why does he still drink alcohol?
Why does the male lead look like a dog trying to dominate another dog when he kisses the female lead?
And why do all the kisses look either fake no lips attached or like they are trying to take a bite out of the other persons lips?
It also offers some of the worst cross dressing out there... But I do believe I did spot a lesbian confession somewhere around the end along side a lesson in girls can also be programmers. So between the toxic, the lack of communication, the bad, the landscape of red flags and more or less sexual dominance/assault... and the double standards there seems to be som kind of a women can agenda as well...
Making me wonder what the ***** the writer, producer and censorship officer where thinking when they made/passed this drama, but I also want to thank them all for this mindless entertainment I so desperately needed thus rating it an 8 .

Same Story Line As "You Are My Destiny"
It is a cute story but it is the same story line as "You Are My Destiny". The lead actors are good and their chemistry was not bad. The other characters do keep me intrigue also. So many other drama are base in this same story line. There are so many version from different country's. I felt entertained until the last few episodes. The story linger for so long that it becomes boring. I was not happy with the ending because to me it was not finalized. This could have been a shorter drama. the message that it was sending was also very interesting. She is so in love and is patient waiting for his love, But there is a point that us girl said enough is enough and we don't wait anymore even if we are still in love. I really related to that. I still find it cute and I really liked the lead characters and the rest of the characters in the drama. The actors did a great job in there performance and I liked the chemistry.Was this review helpful to you?
The Best Drama Ever
I enjoyed the drama from day 1, every episode ends up making me curious to know what happens in the next episode. The storyline is pretty much simple but the story itself is awesome.The Male lead is super handsome, who is also my favorite Chinese actor and the female lead is awesome and her acting is really good.
I still have 4 episodes left to watch, I am left with curiosity and anticipation to see what happens in the next four episodes.
This is my opinion but this is the best drama ever.
The OSTs of the drama are awesome and worth listening to them again and again.
Overall, everything about this drama is good.

Is it sweet puppy love? Don't think so...
After seeing several dramas with technological/gaming/IT background such as Falling into Your Smile, You are my glory, I have high expectation on this one. The title quite intriguing – a female programmer striving for the best in the male dominant world. However, I am disappointed with this drama. Just immature.The plot was simple, a female programmer (Lu Li) idolize a male programmer (Yi Cheng) who are a successful entrepreneur in the field of computer programming. She falls in love with his idol since university, once graduated she pursues him by joining his company. But unfortunately, Yi Cheng’s company doesn’t accept female programmer therefore Lu Li needs to disguise becoming a male to get accepted in Yi Cheng’s company.
So the story evolves around that thing… the struggles of Lu Li to enter Yi Cheng’s company. Some twist and turn whereby, Yi Cheng’s mother required him to get married and somehow Yi Cheng and Lu Li end up in forced marriage – Yi Cheng treats this as contract marriage that will be over after a year. Another twist when Yi Cheng ex-girlfriend came back to his life, and so love rivalry started.
For some reason, I do not believe to the plot and story – it just too exaggerating, if only Lu Li and Yi Cheng can be honest with each other, accepting each other then you don’t have to have these long winded 30 episodes. If they are just being honest about their feeling – maybe in 12 episodes this drama is finished. No conflict here and there, no love rivalry, just plain simple and sweet romantic.
Side stories also not that interesting and important, the relationship of Yi Ming and Yi Cheng sister, Xiao Qi love story, Lu Li’s co-workers stories – they are actually irrelevant.
There are too many dishonesties between main cast, twist and turn that make it long winded.
The good thing is that Bambi Zhu (Lu Li) – good looking, nice and pretty so it is enjoyable to watch. And that is it, about the story – not so interested, so fast forward button is really helpful.

At first the story is weird but over time it gets good
This is the first ongoing modern drama I've watched. I can't wait for the weekend to watch itAt first the story was strange, when Bambi Zhu disguised himself as a boy. But over time the story was good, especially when they divorced & Xing Zhao Lin looked for her, my heart ached too. Their acting is also good.
But I think Jitong & Yiming couple is too forced, Jitong should just give up on Yiming & focus on her new job
I like all the posts
