This get’s stuck in your head too…

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.

6.4/10
