A Feel-Good Campus Romance That’s Easy on the Heart
TL;DR
Put Your Head on My Shoulder is an easy-to-love college romance that offers just the right mix of humor, charm, and warm fuzzy feelings. If you’re looking for a drama with high emotional stakes, this isn’t it—but if you want something wholesome and comforting with an adorably awkward romance, it hits the sweet spot.
This drama doesn’t break new ground, but it executes its youthful romance story very well. It follows Si Tu Mo, a cheerful and hardworking university girl, who—thanks to a twist of fate—ends up living in a house that happens to be shared with Gu Wei Yi, a quiet and brilliant physics student. What begins as an awkward living situation slowly blossoms into a warm and sweet romance, told with just the right blend of humor and everyday charm. There are no dramatic twists or emotional meltdowns—just a comforting progression of young love, misunderstandings, growth, and eventual marriage. The 24-episode run keeps the tone consistent and light-hearted throughout, making it an enjoyable slice-of-life experience.
Both the female lead (Xing Fei as Si Tu Mo) and male lead (Lin Yi as Gu Wei Yi) give solid performances. Their chemistry is natural, charming, and fits the drama’s cozy vibe. Si Tu Mo’s bubbly personality plays off well against Gu Wei Yi’s quiet genius persona, creating plenty of cute and comedic moments. The acting supports the tone of the show—nothing too deep or heavy, but always pleasant to watch.
The soundtrack and background scores are serviceable but unmemorable. They complement the scenes well enough but don’t stand out or leave a lasting impression. The production is clean and soft, consistent with its genre, with cozy indoor settings and warm campus visuals that match the tone.
If you're a fan of feel-good, low-conflict romances, this is definitely rewatchable. It doesn’t demand a lot emotionally, which makes it a comforting watch if you're in the mood for something sweet, calm, and light. Months after finishing it, the thought of revisiting it still feels appealing—and that's a good sign.
