One of my top fave CDrama this year!!

Glad I decided to watch this and finished it!

If you are looking for a light drama with a happy ending that will satisfy you and make your heart fluttered in the end then you'll surely love this. If you're looking for something new and not cliché then you might not want to consider it. But I still hope you can give it a chance. If you are planning to drop it because you thought it's like You Are My Destiny all over again, then you're wrong. It's much better FOR ME, and I liked it more.

Yes, there's nothing really special about Cute Programmer, but it managed to give me the kind of progress I wanted that You Are My Destiny failed to execute.

The ML - Yes, at first he is immature and annoying at times, but you'll see that he is just having a hard time expressing himself and unconsciously .... slowly .... showing how he really cares for the FL, which I find really adorable especially starting in the mid part of the series. In the end, he managed to redeem himself and that makes me fall in love with him harder! I absolutely commend his character development here. I'm so happy with the progress of their relationship.

The FL - Her character is really relatable. I'm impressed on how she knows what she loved, but she still knows her limit and boundaries. She's mature, smart and knows to be dependent. Towards the mid part and after climax, I disagree with her decisions but still it's understandable. It's necessary for her to see how the ML was really sincere about his love for her. In the end, she managed to get what she wants (LOVE), and fight for what she desire (CAREER).

The ML and FL, really had a great chemistry! I hope they will work again in the future.

Their family - What I also loved about this series is their family dynamics. They are very protective and supportive at the same time. No stressful on both sides! I really adore the mother in laws! They're both admirable in their own ways. The ML and her sister's relationship were also likable! Everything about their family was all that I hoped for.

2nd female lead - YES, I FIND HER REALLY ANNOYING, but her presence adds spice to the relationship of FL and ML.

2nd couple - I find it adorable how the 2nd lead couple's (ML's sister and best friend) relationship progressed. The ML's sister wasn't intimidating and annoying, I find her really cute and always wait for her screen time. While the ML's best friends "hard-to-get" style was so funny! They really suit each other.

3rd couple - I'm not really interested with their story so I tend to skip some of their parts, but I'm happy how they finally surrender with one another and openly expressed their feelings to each other.

Ending - I'm so happy with the ending, I have no complaints! It's the ending that I really wanted, not too much stress unlike the other CDramas which only have the FL and SL reconcile in the last episodes lol. After finishing watching this, it made me fall in love with both of the main leads! They've become more mature, chasing together each others personal dreams and protecting their love for each other. I'm so satisfied with this Cdrama overall! I would love to rewatch it in the future.

If you love this drama, please add me and i'll do the same. Let's be friends! Haha!

Thanks for reading!

Enjoy watching!

PS: It's a good watch experience when you are not spoiled by the scenes. It adds to the excitement of the series, especially in the last 10 episodes. It's really good!

BEST SIBLINGS EVER!

(SPOILER ALERT) Finished this drama after 3 days! What a great drama! 10/10. I SMILED, LAUGHED AND CRIED A LOT! This is one of my favorite Chinese drama! I love all the siblings! Each of them have a special place in my heart. I want to have a big brother like Yicheng and Weimin, they always come to the rescue to their family and always think of them before themselves. I want to have a big sister like Sanli, she's doesn't show her weakness to her siblings, she's always there for her siblings. I love how she always come to comfort and worry for them. Erqiang's love for Suqin amazed me! I want to eat what he cooks. I want to have a brother like him too. Even if he doesn't show it a lot, he really cares for his siblings. Si Mei is actually so funny. Every scene of her makes me laugh. Yes, her wrong decisions always annoyed me but at least she doesn't chose the right one in the end and find her own happiness not depending on man alone. I'm so happy for her and I'd love to have a cute sister like her too even if sometimes she's annoying, she always choose to fight for her siblings. Qiqi got less screentime. It's sad, but I'm happy that he gets to bond with his siblings at the end. I love his relationship with his cousin which he treats him like real brother. His child really looks like him. I just wished he got more screentime. The father annoyed me A LOT! But I can't help but to laugh at him at times since he's so funny especially when he demands something to the siblings. In the end, I really pitied him. I hate that nanny turned to (unmarried) wife. Glad she got kicked out in the end. I'm glad the father still gave to the siblings what they deserved (the house), and still thinks of them until the end.

The side characters were also lovable. The cousin's wife, Yicheng's 2nd wife, Suqin, NanFang and YiDing are the best partners! Glad they're with my fave sibs and cousin. I really hate Chenggang. Annoying cheater! But I'm glad he still supports her daughter even after the divorced and have a good relationship with the Qiao fam. YiCheng's friend, QingYuan was also great! I love their friendship and i want to have a good friend like him! YiCheng's ex wife was so annoying! I don't like her in the first place. I hate how he divorced YiCheng but I'm glad they didn't end up together. Erqiang's ex wife annoyed me too, another cheater, but I'm glad she confessed in the end that his child is not Erqiang's. QiQi's wife too!!! I hate her the most!!!!!! Qiqi and their daughter and ever her parents doesn't deserve her. I hate her so much! I'm touched that her parents didn't let go of Qiqi.
The Aunt (their cousin's mom) was also nice! I love her and her first and second husband. They continue to support and helped the Qiao fam until the end. Overall, I enjoyed watching so much! I'm so glad I watched this!

This is the 2nd chinese drama about siblings that I've seen. The first one is Take My Brother Away (2018),, I want this kind of genre about siblings relationship. Can someone suggest me a good drama focusing on siblings relationship please?

Plot Twist after Plot Twist after Plot Twist but Predictable

I love how light this drama was but I got tired with its endless “predictable plot twists” towards the end.

The story was okay but got dragged towards the end. The plot could’ve been done better. I hope they just do it with 24 episodes.

The special effects were bad in some parts especially that one scene in the last episode. If you finished the drama, you know what I’m talking about. It’s so obvious! Epic fail.

I love the casting. I’m a big fan of Zhao Lusi so I enjoyed her performance here. I have no complaint. Sang Qi is so dumb but I loved it!

I liked Xu Kaicheng in Well Intended Love but honestly, at some parts I can’t sense the chemistry between them. I perceive him as a big brother for Zhao Lusi lol. I mean, I’ve seen other dramas where the ML was a teacher but still the chemistry was okay, here was kinda off. And at times, I hate it when Xu Kaicheng was making strange expressions. I can’t describe it. I just cringe everytime he does that. Going back to the chemistry, to be fair, some of their scenes had spark but still, not okay to me overall.

I’m so happy to see Ao Rui Peng here! I love him in Poisoned Love! I hope he will have a drama with Zhao Lusi in the future! They really have good chemistry!

Other cast was okay but didn’t focus on them that much.

The best thing about this the drama are the OSTs! Omg! I can’t describe how addicted I am with the OSTs especially the one in the opening credits. I usually skipped opening credits in other dramas, but this is the first time I didn’t skip the opening credits in a drama.

Overall, it was good. Nothing really special about it and it’s okay for one-time watch.

If you’re into light dramas with cute cast and happy ending and didn’t care much with its predictable storyline then it’s for you.

WHAT A THRILLING ROLLER COASTER RIDE.

It's so intense from beginning to end. I was riveted all throughout and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The amount of jump scare almost gave me a heart attack. How I wish I watched this in the cinema.

Nothing new or special in this movie, but this is just my cup of tea! I love every bit of it. Korean movies never fail to impress me! Keep it coming!

The star-studded cast really delivers an incredible performance, especially Jin Ki-Joo and Wi Ha-Jun! I loved Wi Ha-Jun in 18 Again and I'm so happy to see him in a villainous role! He's so good. I hope he will have more projects in the future. He deserves more recognition. On the other hand, this is the first time I encounter Jin Ki-Joo and all I cay say is that she's an amazing actress. I believe that she will be a successful actress in the future.

The filming location and score added great tension which made me enjoy this movie more. Kudos to the director and the whole team!

This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Watch this with your family or friends!
