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 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.

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.Was this review helpful to you?

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.

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.
