Cute Programmer

A girl cuts her hair because the company she wants to work at sadly doesn’t allow female programmers in the programming department. But thankfully, she has a great best friend who enjoys cosplaying, so she gives her a makeover to make her look like someone she never thought she would have to be. When she goes in for the interview as a boy, she is mistaken for being a “peeping tom”, but after these shenanigans, things go her way.


This show tells a story about Lu Li (Bambi Zhu) being in love with a genius programmer Jiang Yi Cheng (Xing Zhao Lin) who went to the same school as her. Jiang Yi Cheng is unsurprisingly her role model in her heart. Since her role model has a company with something she enjoys, she disguises herself as a boy to get the job. Soon, the two become a “contract couple” and stay together for a while. Slowly but surely, Jiang Yi Cheng falls for his employee.


This show includes business, comedy, drama, and, of course, romance. There are barely any flaws, so it doesn’t feel like a burden to watch. There are 30 episodes that are approximately 45 minutes long. All the episodes are extremely interesting and it might even make you cry. The characters all have personalities that most people find enjoyable, so this show shouldn’t leave you with an empty feeling.


You can watch this show on WeTv and it has Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Arabic, Malay, Indonesian, Thai, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), and English subtitles. You can also watch it on YouTube but it only includes English subtitles.
