Put Your Head on My Shoulder (2019)

Why you should watch this drama?

Firstly, I'm the type of watcher that will drop a drama with silly break up because of misunderstanding and what so ever. So the fact that I manage to watch it till the end meaning that this story is so special. It makes you laugh, smile, blush and cry (out of happiness<333). The acting was good too! Anyway, this is a story that will make you crave for more and warning, once you watch it, you can never stop! <3333

For the storyline itself, I think it's great actually. You see how a person slowly inlove, how they turn into a couple, how they bicker but lower the ego to apologize, how they handle jealousy and more.

It's also include friendship, students life, work life, one sided love and more.

For the music, it doesn't get stuck in my head, but it makes me follow the singer to sing along ;p hehe

Anyway, this is totally a stress reliever drama you should watch!

10/10 <3

Aside from these two catchy tunes, I didn’t find the OST to be particularly amazing, but it suited the drama well enough.

Review:

Put your head on my shoulder was written well enough for what it was. Coming of age romances aren’t really my thing. It might be because I’ve aged out of them, mostly it’s because I don’t think love will work out if you haven’t established yourself and the couples are two young.

There was a lot of instances where the ladies treated the men in really crappy ways, but instead of consequences, or apologies, it’s left to the men to come crawling back. This didn’t really sit well with me, maybe I’m the problem, maybe it was supposed to be humorous. Instead it came off as misandry from the writers.

Mostly the drama is about coming of age, navigating relationships, and finding and doing what you love, rather than living for your parents. And, while it takes a little too long to get there, the dramas conveys its messages well.

The drama is well paced, falling short only in a couple of areas. It takes a little too long for the relationship to get started. The only other issue is the time skip, which is a trope that needs to be put away. The writers need a new trick.

Final Thoughts:

This is a fluffy, low stress romcom that deals with issues of first love, first relationships, and navigating the hurdles that comes with those situations. It’s an opposites attract romance that you can turn your brain off to an enjoy.
If you enjoy college romance, female empowerment, and light fluffy romances, this drama is probably worth a watch.

Rating:

6.4/10

Love story between two individuals who couldn't be more different

I want to emphasize that my review is based solely on this drama, as I didn't watch other versions or read the novel. However, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The cute and funny moments, the adorable love story between a shy genius and a bubbly girl - it was all perfectly presented. The fact that opposite attracts was beautifully depicted and made the story even more compelling

I thoroughly enjoyed watching that drama and was shocked to see that the female lead has very few dramas. Despite not being everyone's type, her acting was impeccable and, while not conventionally stunning, she exuded a charming and cute demeanor. In my opinion, she deserves more prominent roles

I recommend it.

Light and fluffy romantic story that finally has its leads not at polar opposites. Hate those stories about most popular, handsome, smartest guy falling for the dumbest, weakest girl in school (I blame you ISWAK!) They got one end of the spectrum, with a genius but socially awkward scientist paired with a girl who has some brains on her head. No desperate clinginess from the female character which is a bonus. I docked half a point because the second couple annoys me, because they "settled" into the relationship after being rejected by their love interests. Otherwise, cute drama.

Cute moments, but I don't think the main couple complement each other

Put your head on my shoulder is mainly a light hearted romcom, but if I'm watching a show where the romance is the main sell, I am going to be quite critical of how well the leads suit each other.

From that perspective, I don't think Gu Weiyi and Situ Mo make a good couple. GWY is a tinkerer and nerdy type at heart, he loves taking things apart and putting them back together to see how they work. Situ Mo is a pretty average nice gal. There's nothing wrong with that, but her personality doesn't not complement his.

For example, she's dismissive at best of his tinkerer nature, such as the time he turns off the lights and shows her his hand crank powered lighting device. Rather than being supportive, she points out that even her phone screen is brighter than it, putting him down. This is generally the case whenever he displays his nerdy side as well, she responds with mild annoyance (think roll your eyes type of response).

The bottom line is that rather than bring out the best in him, her personality pretty much eliminates what makes him special and by the end of the show she's turned him into a bland generic nice guy lead. He even states in voice over in the last episode: "when I'm with her I feel like my IQ goes down to 87." (this is not meant to be negative in the context his voice over, but it still illustrates the type of effect she has on him)

The second male lead, while annoying at the beginning of the show, actually goes through more development than the male lead in the show and by the end of the show, I appreciated the second couple more than the main couple.

Superb Slice of life , very close to being perfect!

This serie is proof that a simple slice of life could be as good of not better than those super complicated plot twist big budget series.

If you're tired of those C-drama where the FL fall for a ML CEO or something like that... this is the serie for you.
If you're tired of C-drama where there is an evil... just because it need something evil, well this is the serie for you.

Story:
So simple yet so satisfying! The way the story evolve, you can't help but feel butterflies yourself.
The FL and ML are so cute together and portray that early stage of a relationship so well.
The pacing is very good and each episode is very enjoyable and unlike other series I didn't feel like they were dragging.
The only reason i didn't give it a perfect score here is i would have actually want it to be a little bit longer... some part of the story could have been explore in more details.

Acting:
I thought the acting was overall very good and I like pretty much all the characters in the serie. Xing Fei is by far the highlight of the serie... but overall I don't think this is the kind of serie that required a lot from the actors/actress... but rather chemistry.

Music:
LOVED the music and the sound effect... the piano solo at those sad scene really hit it for me!
Opening theme and ending theme are both very good and lighthearted.

Rewatch Value:
Since I've watched it for the first time on Netflix a year ago.... whenever i need a boost to my mood this is one my go to serie.
Never fails to deliver. Big hard day at work, bad news, feeling angry, sad....just a few episode of Situ Mo and Guwei Yi will cheer you up every single time!

Overall:
Over the years I've watch a lot of asian drama... Hong Kong ones, Korean ones, Chinese one... and for a while I was exhausted at how unoriginal C-Drama were... always the same plot...this is the serie that reinvigorated my interest in C-drama since The King's Woman. A little gem that is worth your time!
