Put Your Head on My Shoulder (2019)

One of the most fun to watch romance dramas

This is my first review and I'm going to keep it brief and to the point , the main leads were incredibly likable, at least the main guy was. Going into this drama I expected him to be the stereotypical genius who had little to no social skills and therefore was going to have a bunch of awkward antics and the romance was going to somehow blossom from that. Although he does end up exhibiting some of those quirks, for the most part the main lead was very much a social and likable character and he just oozed charm through his actions. His actions had motives that felt genuine, and maybe I was just starting to get fatigued by main leads who go out of their way to do stuff to seem charming, but I definitely could imagine why someone would begin to fall for a guy like him. My review is going to be mainly focused on him because well, the show doesn't really do a whole much else.

The main female lead is also pretty good in her role, her plot (like much of the drama which I will get to later) doesn't really do much for the overall drama however she has good chemistry with the main lead. I don't want to sound like im underplaying her performance because as a character they just played well of each other and you can really experience how the main lead falls for her (sorry for referring to them by their leads I'm terrible when it comes to names for characters in dramas)

My only gripe with this drama which is the reason why I wouldn't be able to put it any higher than maybe like an 8(?) (the only reason i didn't is because I've given more involved dramas an 8 and it wouldn't seem fair) was because of the lack of a real plot to carry the story. This is where I go into spoiler-y territory so I'll just put this here, If you want to see a nice couple fall in love and be cute and stuff and make you regret being single then yeah go for it have fun you won't regret it. However if you want some nice plot to be resolved and to see the characters face something outside of their love for one another then I'm hard pressed to recommend it.

its on netflix so its an easy binge :)

spoilers from here on out

There really isn't much to spoil as I said there really isn't a plot but this becomes incredibly apparent after the main couple get together, this isn't helped by the fact that I'm used to watching dramas that are like 14-16 episodes long and they usually won't even have their first kiss until like episode 9 or something and by then the main plot is in full swing. At around episode 10-13 or so the main two leads are already dating and with half the show left, the drama becomes very transparent about its lack of urgency in creating a reason for the show to keep going. I may be exaggerating when I say there isn't any plot but in terms of a major plot there really is not one and the show just kinda ends after they graduate and get married. For this reason the show leaves you with a sense of "huh okay i guess?" As nice as it was to see the main leads get together and be cute you don't really get anything else out of it and it just makes the show feel more of a time waster. However if you don't care about that and are just looking for some nice chemistry and romance (which I was after watching a few eps of a drama where the main lead were really good looking but my god did they have like zero chemistry) then this will fill the void.

okay cool thanks :)

Refreshing is what this was. I didn't read anything about this show going into and I'm not disappointed. It was really cute, I squealed a lot.

I absolutely love the MFL, it's the first time a drama has made a female lead that doesn't do the absolute most yet nothing at all. Her reactions made sense and she stood up for herself. Yes, she had her moments of jumping to conclusions but it wasn't over the top. They also dressed her like she loves herself and I had to stan. I get so tired of c-dramas dressing their female leads in the ugliest clothes. That height gap did it for me. I actually think Momo was one of the best written characters in the show. Followed closely by Shan Shan.

Gu Weiyi was a weird one but it was nice to see the male lead pursue the girl first. Him being so clumsy in love was endearing. I will admit, I doubted him but he surprised me a few times in the show. I was, I'll admit it, swooned. He loved to pick her up like a little doll :((((. All I gained from this was a lonely heart.

Now this show had an inconsistency that was the weather. I was really confused toward the season that this was all happening in. Momo always wears shorts, t-shirts, sneakers, etc., but there's a scene where it snows suddenly. I'm just confused about the weather in China. Is it that inconsistent? I just couldn't follow the time flow when the weather flip flopped. I never knew how much time had passed.

That being said, I really enjoyed this show. It left me with good feelings all around. I think it's a simple, sweet, and cute drama to pass the time. I do agree with the other comments that this drama didn't have much plot, but I think that was okay for this one. Sometimes, life isn't that dramatic.

Cookie cutter rom-com

Slice of life, coming of age kind of rom-com, kind of meandering with no real plot or direction. No villians, no invasive love triangles, no break up.
The romance is cute but certainly not the fluffiest ive seen. I liked the characters, the acting, and the chemisty for the most part. Did start to FF through a lot of the side characters and most of the parts with FL at work.

There are a couple of kiss scenes, all of them fell flat for me. Very stiff and unnatural, like watching 6th graders who dont know what theyre doing and might be slightly repulsed.

A lot of people really liked this show so i gave it a go but it was just kinda 'meh' for me.

I started Watching this show and it was eye catching the title itself. Its really interesting as how Si Tu Mo lives her life in the dorms, later moving on with her college life and the male lead, a genius falling in for a candy love relationship! Its very amazing how the comic elements have mixed into the story through the actors' behaviour. Especially parents of both sides. We see how friends help each other, sometimes how we need to get on with our things on our own and we find that later through all that time there's that particular person standing beside us, so silently. Compared to many stories i have watched this drama did not make me cry half of my life out, rather i was happy and very interested on the storyline each time i watched it. I think if you are a person who believe and has hope in love you won't find it very cheeky.

I initially decided to watch this drama after rewatching A Love So Beautiful because they are based on books by the same author (which I absolutely love and can rewatch a billion times).

The first thing I would say is Put Your Head on My Shoulder is completely different from A Love So Beautiful, so I don't think that this drama is a good drama to watch if you are experiencing withdrawals from ALSB like I was. This drama is the definition of light-hearted. The characters are cute and the story is simple. I think this is one of those dramas that you can watch while cleaning or doing chores because it's very calm and slow (which is what I did haha).

I do admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this drama because of the main characters - their love is so innocent and cute, and the moments they share are often hilariously awkward. However, I do have many gripes. First, I do not think the side characters charmed me in any way. I found myself being super bored during their love story (partially because I really did not like the character of Fu Pei, super obnoxious and annoying in my opinion). Second, I feel like the story really was missing a lot of the classic story arc. This drama does not have a lot of *drama* and many of the conflicts throughout the story are addressed extremely lightly and ignored, which made overall series seem a bit anticlimactic. That being said, I still really liked the drama and the main couple's dynamic 100% made the entire drama.

Hi Guys! A very Happy New Year 2020
I hope you guys scan through my review once so it could capture an idea in your minds.

This piece of drama "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" is a very humorous story with a lot of kawaii (cute) interactions between the ML and FL who were acted out by Lin Yi and Xing Fei. I haven't seen the acting of Lin Yi before so this is my first but Xing Fei is one of my fav actress because her roles are quite good in almost every drama and she is neat and simple too. Some of her other drama include Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me 1 & 2 and Your Highness Class Monitor.

Now Coming back to Put Your Head On My Shoulder
The story is a smooth sailor which shows the daily relationship between two couples. It is also very funny due to two mere opposites getting attracted to each other. A typical topper nerd guy (especially physics which is icky...for me) who is hot...no...super hot and a bit silly when it comes to wooing girls. But later he gets into his character a Boyfriend very well which shows him as a good man and boyfriend material. Not everyone will like a drama like this but it is good to watch because you can literally relate to either one of the leads if u are like them. Hahaha. The FL is just doing a great job.

Something I didn't like about this drama is everything is going toooo fast and there needs to be a stp button. Some of the scenes are a repeat but still it was heartwarming.

I hope this review helped some of you out there. I am sorry if I offended anyone but all this here is of my own opinion.
Thankyou for reading

A reel that feels so real

If I were to describe the drama in one sentence I would say it is a light, bubbly, cute type of romantic comedy young adult drama. But if I were to describe it in few sentences, I have a few things to say.

First of, I would write this without comparing it to any cdramas that is mostly tackled when this drama is being mentioned. I would tell my opinions on the drama itself.

Storywise, it was just your normal college romantic comedy drama. It was purely romance. No slice of life, no family dramas, no annoying (evil) second leads, no broken relationships. If you want to watch something that would give you butterflies just like your first love, I recommend this drama. It really catered the "romance" part and made me satisfied with the "comedy" part (the secondhand embarrassments is real). I was very pleased at Si Tu Mo's character because even though she is naive, she's neither irritating nor displeasing. She doesn't overreact and she doesn't push herself to the things she wanted. She know her worth. As for Gu Wei Yi, just another fictional character you'll surely fall in love with. But the special thing about him in the story is, he was never made with the perfect image. Despite how he seems to have it all, he was still written with flaws which made him more realistic. Thus, it wouldn't change the fact that his character was played and written perfectly imperfect and once again, a character set the bar too high.

The chemistry was perfect. I love how their clothes always match each other. I also like how the cinematography appeared, the colors where so vivid which makes the drama more fun to watch. Plus, did I forgot to mention the cute height difference they got there?

This is the type of drama you would definitely see if you wanted to feel in love. A drama you would want to binge-watch on a rainy day.

PS Gu Wei Yi look so handsome in white coat. I am a scientist (medical field) too and I would say not every guy look so good in white coat.
PPS It plucked few of my heartstrings because I'm only 2 weeks away graduation and the part where they were wearing their bachelor's gown felt special to me. Well my gown is hanged in my room and I can see it all the time. But yes, I'm graduating university life soon and I don't have a Gu Wei Yi by my side, I thank you.

Sweet little rom-com with a fair share of clichés

This is a very easy to watch show with low angst and simple plot. However, this puts a lot of weight on the actors and interaction/chemistry to lift this beyond average. Unfortunately, I don't think they quite pulled it off. It is not bad and there were definitely cute moments and skinship (a bit wooden until the end stretch) but a lot of it feels very scripted. Honestly, the dorky ML genius has been used a few times and The Love Equations did it better. The acting from the ML here seems to be stuck in aloof or quietly happy mode but not much in between. All the tropes are present and quite obvious. The trope of the genius being bad at something then put all his efforts into research and then practice it (in private) until he get good at it is over used. The worse part of this approach is that it telegraphs the sub-plots all the time, including a VERY important plot development towards the end of the show which I won't spoil but it was definitely a facepalm moment (just how naïve and inexperienced can they be?!). In fact there are a number of facepalm moments which serious took points off in my view. The whole confession business was dragged out for too long and it became frustrating. I really wanted to slap him a few times and tell him to just say "I LIKE YOU!". Secondary characters were introduced and integrated over several episodes. Just when you think that they were there to spice up the story line, they disappeared or did nothing consequential, whatever. So there you have it, a nice, sweet, simple college romance drama with angst lite and minimal plot twists.

I give such a high rating because of the cast but I didn't like this drama so much because there are so many issues in the plot. First thing, the story was actually so boring and everything moved so slow. Gu Wei Yi feelings were there but Si Tu Mo feelings WEREN'T there at all. I mean she was so in love with Fu Pei and then suddenly fall for Gu Wei. Like nothing ever happened. Anyways, I am sad about it because the cast was very good but the story and plot, nope. This drama is for those who like cringy dramas.
I can say that is good because there are not love triangle and melodrama scenes, but for me, their story is not real, I mean in real life never will happen what happened here. Like seriously, no one will make such big eyes when a boy kisses or so cringy with touches. I really think that this drama is for children.

This was so darn cute. I got a few good laugh out of this which was that more than I really expected. I will tell you that there were so many scenes that had me super frustrated and those scenes were the almost embraces or the almost kisses. It was so many of them that it was exasperating. It was still good though. I love the growth of each character and I especially love that the female lead was smart, strong and hilarious. Her character had the perfect balance. Lately there have been so many series were the female lead chances a love interest so desperately it’s sickening but not this one. She was sweet yet resolute. The male lead was equally amazing. I loved the fact that he was sweet, consistent and genuine. I really enjoyed it. My only complaint is that I wanted more meat in the ending. It was sweet but I would have loved to see more. There was a big time jump. The supporting cast were fun to watch. No psychotic cast members or damsels in distress.

I love the way their relationship developed. I kinda like where the ML and FL has a height difference.

Lin Yi the ML was a bit awkward at times but I understand because he was fairly new. I don't have any issues with the FL, she did not linger on her crush for the second male lead. I seldom have second male lead syndrome and if I could avoid a love triangle story I would but most drama this is already built in so I do not have a choice so I cannot say any good things about the secondary characters for this drama since I was primarily concentrating on the main couple.

If you like something light and fluffy this drama is for you. To be honest I have rewatched this several times so for me yes it is rewatchable if you just want to relax and have nothing to watch.
