Programadora Bonitinha (2021)

The story is pretty weak, if your in it for watching the stars, or looking for a cuteness out of the couples its fine.

They reused the office building that was in the previous drama "Use for my Talents (2021)" which was a better drama than this.
Yi Da Qian gets more of a better role here than Love Designer, but the relationship they set him up didn't care much for.
Imo, they tried to make Jiang Yi Cheng's character style look too much like Yang Yang's, which didn't seem unique or appealing.
Bambi Zhu got to star in her own drama, in a role where she didn't act like a beotch like in Eternal love or Sweet Dreams.

The story starts off strong, but rapidly changes as Li Lu no longer is able to continue her ploy as she gets exposed. It then follows the typical drama plot where you try to get the cold hearted guy to break and fall for you, and then eventually when it happens, they have trouble maintaining that love.

Love causes you to do alot of dumb things, but Li Man's character was just too full of it, making things too obvious, especially without someone who has abit of power/money, she could get other people to do the dirty work. Her story could've been better worked out, chasing after a man who's married recently doesn't make much sense, especially if you've disappeared without a word for 3 years, after causing a workplace mess, if you think you can just "slide right in" then there are obvious problems. Also, anyone knows if you delete something from a computer server there are log in records, data backups, besides the camera they had focused on the work area so they had plot issues.

The story eventually diverges from programming as it focuses more on the main characters relationship, then jumps back near the end with Li Lu starting the tutoring program.

The ending with the issue with other company was rushed, and seemed more like they just wanted to tie loose ends with the story, which is a pacing and design issue.

The drama suffers from a lack of organization, as it has diverging stories that they all try to pay off in the end.
At many points it just felt frustrating to watch because the story wasn't vetted out, mistakes were obvious.

Stupid and annoying ML

It’s my first low rating after such a long time. I dropped this drama at episode 8 btw so this might not be helpful and just take my review as a pinch of salt. I just wanted to rant. I tried to persist on and watch further but I couldn’t stand the ML. He is annoying, stupid, rude, narcissistic and just plain terrible. I don’t find anything likable about him except for his is good in his field of work. So I do not understand and does not ship the main leads at all. Plus there is no logic in this show, I usually does not care a lot about logic because it is a drama after all, BUT hell no I’m not with this drama logic. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I had hope that there is character development but I found out that in the later episode the ML ex is back and he did stupid things again which made me decide to drop before the angst get over me. Overall it is already filled with angst for me in the early episode because of how unlikeable and annoying the ML is that is why I drop the show. A romance show with terrible lead’s character, poor character development and full of misunderstanding is just a waste of time to me. The story is not even interesting and the romance couldn’t even make up for it.

Conclusion: I usually does not drop a drama easily and tried to find good in a drama therefore I seldom give low rating like this. Anything enjoyable would have at least at a rating of 7.5 from me. But this is terrible. Watch at your own risk who knows you might actually like this kind of drama with annoying ML ?

This is my first time writing a review on a drama so if this is all over the place that is probably why.
Let me get this straight. All the reviews that says that this is trash are right. You do not watch this to have a good time.
I am here to warn you .It has all the annoying tropes:

1/ the jerk, petty, childish ML with no redeeming qualities (I wonder if they actually tried to make him a tsundere but forgot to give him a soft side),

2/ the doormat FL that likes the ML from the beginning for no freaking reason

All my teenage years I spent reading shoujo manga with doormat FL and cold ML that doesn’t gives a shit about them and treat them badly but they still like him anyway didn’t prepare me for this nonsense.

3/ There is a lot of misunderstanding throughout the drama and No communication skills whatsoever between them.

4/ The psycho ex GF that still likes the ML. pretends to be nice in front of him and he doesn’t realize that she is a snake until the end that makes u want to strangle her.

Oh also do not expect the FL to be smart and confident and to have logic just because she has good grades and is a talented programmer .of course not this is a Chinese drama she has to be dumb to fall in love with the ML.

It has two of my favorites tropes: cross dressing and fake marriage but it was executed horribly. The plot dragged a lot.

Why did I watch this? You may ask .well, when this was announced, I had high hopes. I like both the leads and the story sounded interesting enough. I wanted to like this. I will never get excited for a Chinese drama again. I got my lesson.

If for some reason after reading this, you still want to watch it; my advice for you is to go with zero expectations .no except the worst.

Skip the scenes that u don’t like. Especially, when his ex-GF appears .trust me you will not miss much of the plot and maybe you will be somewhat entertained by this.

The only good thing about this drama is his sister and the cat momo .

Almost same story like YAMD....…????

Story of this drama much like You Are My Destiny. Many things are common. From contract marriage to FL's approaching and caring (because of one sided love) towards ML, misunderstanding between couples to still forgiving(FL) ML, caring FL by ML but in annoying way (ML don't want to show it yo FL), ML's ex-girlfriend's comming back to starting misunderstand between couple about their relationship, leaving FL for good of ML(as the FL thinks so) to find FL and cherish her to win her and a new hero's entry( who love the FL but help ML for the sake of FL's happiness). All are quite same. But with some twitch. Like their contact marriage here is not for baby(baby is in YAMD) but for their work and parents, not a accident meeting. Their meeting is almost a plan of FL ,like etc etc.... But how can the add same zipping FL's cloth like YAMD.... But ML's sister is truly ????funny and along new male's character, turely energetic .....

Tolerable - one time watch

I am watching this just for the ML - Xing Zhao Lin , big fan of him ,he is good but not sure why is selecting such stories , he can do better .Have watched him in "Eternal Love" he can do better, please next time pick a better storyline.
The story is okayish and I have no idea how can someone allow an Ex-Girlfriend just take her Man away, this is just too much, watching I still feel we are in the ancient China where women were despised and thought as lowly people.
The Female Lead has beautiful eyes.Overall just a one time watch, neither found any songs catchy, at least in "you are my destiny" there was one song which I really loved was by Della "Dont fall in love yet" not sure the Title of it.
