Adorable Lu Li Had A Crush With Headstrong Yicheng.

“Cute Programmer”
A drama based on adaptation from manhua "No Programmer Can Be So Cute!" (程序媛哪有这么可爱) by Tianyi Icartoon (天翼爱动漫).

I thought it was a light drama at first but when watched it, the drama was quite heavy since there were misunderstanding and miscommunication between couple. As you can see, most of the reviewers gave bad scores and bad reviews about this drama but to me the drama was not too bad and too sucks. It’s still okay since the ending was satisfying.

▫️Main Points
~ A junior who fell in love with her senior and decides to chased him by staying close to him and make him fell for her.
~ A man who was hurt by a female programmer before deciding to not appoint any female programmers in his company because of his fears.

▫️Short Synopsis
Lu Li was a female programmer who make a big effort by disguising as a man in order to get a job in Enchant Company. Enchant company was not appointed any female programmers as it stated by the CEO. The CEO of Enchant Company was Jiang Yicheng and he was Lu Li’s senior during her university and also her crush. After working at the company, Lu Li tried to be careful and not to makes any mistakes that can blow her cover as she disguised as a man. At the same time, she felt so happy since she can stay close to him and got to know him better. Lu Li’s mother was a desk mate with Yicheng’s mother during school. But their mothers were in bad relationships as they keep arguing towards each other. Yicheng’s mother liked Lu Li and want her son to marry her quickly as she plans to make her as a daughter-in-law. In order to make his father wasn’t angry and stay with his investment, Yicheng agreed to marry with Lu Li. Thus, they got the marriage registration and make a contract to stay together for one year.

▫️Opinions
~ Both Female Lead and Second Female Lead were chasing their love as they fallen in love with the guys first. I think it’s not a bad ideas for a woman to chase her love since she know her feeling was real and want to fight for it. So Lu Li was a brave girl since she dare to chase her love to the end.
~ When Lu Li watched or heard about Yicheng and his ex, my hearts also got hurts so much like I can feel what Lu Li’s feels. If I am her, I also will leave Yicheng so that he can open his eyes to see who’s more important in his life.
~ Yicheng felt guilty about blaming his ex too much since he found that she’s not completely guilty so he plans to help her about her father. I think he can helps her but he needs to tell her wife everything about it so there’s no misunderstanding. He completely deserves when her wife decides to divorce him.
~ The SML and SFL only have a short screen time and I’m not able to see much about them. I love them more when it comes to the relationship progresses since SML was clever enough to notice SFL not as his sister but as a woman before she’s gave up her feelings.
~ Even the writer put more obstacles and problems in the storyline before a happy ending but I’m not blaming her as I knew she just want to make the story long and draggy.
~ I am a bit dissatisfied with this drama because they dubbed all the characters voice. It’s seem like I have watched this drama since I’m already familiar with the dubbing voice.

▫️Characters Intro
~ Xing Zhao Lin as Jiang Yicheng was a Ceo at Enchant Company. He was a handsome, arrogant and stubborn man who once hurt because of a female programmer. Thus he did not want to appoint any female programmers in his company in order to avoid the same things happened and also his fears for falling in love again. But after knowing Lu Li, he was literally changed his mind and appointed her as his programmer. Later, he agreed to marry with her and stay together in his house as a contract marriage.
~ Bambi Zhu as a Lu Li. She was adorable, pretty and sweet girl. She fallen in love with her senior and decided to chase him even she needs to disguise as a man in order to work at his company. She was a brave girl as she making a bet with a small chances to win his heart but she not regretted with her decision to chase her love. She aware that in the end it might not work out and her feeling might be hurt as he doesn’t loved her back but she already set her target and wants to go for it.
~ Yi Da Qian was the of actor that I considered as a good actor. I noticed him when he acts in the Love Designer as a support actor. He was a good and handsome actor. He has a very sweet smile and it was so attractive. He acts as Chen Yiming who was a best friend and colleagues of ML. More about him I think he was like a shining star in this drama. He gave the audiences a happiness vibes with his sweet smile. I loved to see him even he only has a short screen time.

▫️Overall
The drama has a happy ending for the fourth couples including the supporting. But before that, there were a lot of misunderstanding and miscommunication between them. It because the writer focused on making the male lead headstrong, arrogant and weak. Thus, there were many conflicts happened. As for overall, the drama was a bit slow and not fun. For those who want to see a light drama, this drama was not the one. But the ending was quite satisfying since they’re got back together in third last episode. There were a lot of sweet scenes when they’re both together and all the characters in the drama were happy and blessed!

P/S: For those who gave the reviews for 5 and below are not appreciating the production and all the actor’s work. The drama was not that bad like example Yicheng divorce Lu Li then got married with Li Man. It’s still doesn’t happen like that. So let’s appreciate the drama and not gave the bad scores or reviews. Thank you (;
