The chemistry between the main leads are just, ugh. It’s just magical.
I rarely finish a series this fast. I was enjoying it so much that it is on par with I’m Not a Robot in terms of the speed I was able to finish it.
Watch this you guys, it’s just so good and the cliches and tropes aren’t too much here. A lot of the romance are very realistic or genuine, which makes it very relatable.
I rated low on the music because eh, it’s not featured as much except the intro and credits so no.
But overall, watch it!!! It’s very rare to have this production value. On par with GoGo Squid and Love O20 !

Comfort drama worthy!
Put Your Head On My Shoulder is my all-time favorite comfort show! If you like lighthearted, college, fluffy, and attractive characters then this show is for you! I will say, this drama is a slow burn but when the characters finally get to together it's to die for!What I like about this drama is that both the male lead and female lead have a personality and goals that aren't just getting into a relationship. Situmo goes through tough things concerning her work and the plot with Fu Pei. Guwei isn't the normal, stiff, attractive male lead that just pins for the girl.
I do have to break the bad news to y'all. There is a fish kiss.. But the show is so cute and has scenes that make up for the cringe kiss! This show is so worth it. When you're feeling down or just need a show that will make you smile, I fully recommend this one!

There's a back and forth plot, which help us to understand some circumstances, especially between Si Tu Mo and Fu Pei. Well, to be honest, Fu Pei personality really get into my nerve and he's the life example for the phrase 'don't take someone for granted'. He is really a fickle guy! (￣︿￣) By the way, I want to know the continuity of the problem between him and his father.
A lot of sweet and adorable things in this drama, I personally love how Gu Wei Yi deal with his feeling to Si Tu Mo and then his behavior towards her. And when he discussed his problem to his professor and lab-mate and how those scientists try to solve the problem (love confession) is hilarious! (^o^)
As for the conflict. I can tell that there's no major conflict in this drama. Yes, indeed there's a conflict, but it's just a daily conflict which included in each episode. But if I must make a conclusion, the major conflict is how Gu Wei Yi with his scientist mind mingle in the ordinary life (^_-)-☆
For me personally, this kind of drama really heaven on earth! There's no emotion roller coaster or drained tears. Oh! There's an emotion roller coaster when you watch Gu Wei Yi's cuteness (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡
Fair Xing's act is great. She's always seems so fresh and all out with her acting. But I mostly like her mellow or tired acts. I don't know, but those feelings really touch my heart. Lin Yi's act is also great. His stiff behavior and expressionless face is so funny. But, his cute-awkward behavior from the time he live with Si Tu Mo is also funny and somehow sweet.
The music represented an exciting, light and cheerful adolescence, makes the audience want to hum along with a smile.

This was so cute and made me cry but the only thing I would have liked to have seen from this is a change in conflict and more depth into some of the topics. In my opinion all the conflicts were from jealousy and miscommunication and it got a little old. I also wish they dived more into the problem of thinking and describing love as a theory and scientific practice. When Gu Weiyi hugged Momo because thats what the professor had said was scientifically proven to help build a relationship, I wished they expanded on that aspect of how love is more about feelings and emotions rather than theories and science. Despite those things I thought the story was realistic but don't watch it if you're single. It hurts. Even though I most likely won't rewatch the whole thing, there are some scenes I'll want to rewatch when I'm down or just love seeing. I also thought it was ironic that it was called "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" because Momo was too short to actually put her head on his shoulder. :) Was this review helpful to you?
Si Tu Mo was a lovable main female lead as well. She definitely stood up for herself, was straight and to the point when it came to romance and friendships, and it was really great to not have to get frustrated at those stupid misunderstandings that too many other dramas have.
Sadly, the last few episodes of this drama really slowed down the pace, and I felt like it dragged without any real storyline—they seemed like filler episodes.
The OST is also okay, but I love love love Time For A Love Song by Luna!

For me, what I love most about this drama is that it's such a realistic feel-good romance. If you are looking for a no angst, believable and convincing romance - this is the show for you. I love it so much for its realism and treatment of relationships, and how characters in the show actually do grow and mature from their relationships. The romance here is a slow burn, and may not be for all viewers, but I really recommend if you are looking for something lighthearted and yet satisfying.Plot: solid as far as can be for a romance drama, no glaring plot holes. Pacing was good for me as I felt it gave the drama adequate time to really explore and show the various stages of a relationship from start to end. We saw different characters slowly fall in of love, we saw the tenacious "grey area" ambiguous stage, we saw sweet romance. We also saw a slow burn heartache, learning to grief and let go, and dogged refusal to give up.
Acting: incredible chemistry between the leads and you can really see/feel the love from them for each other. Fair Xing in particular deserves a shoutout because she was so natural and convincing as an independent, smart and bubbly Situ Mo. There were no cringey, overly act-cute (but trying to pass off as naturally cute) moments by the FL, which I really appreciated. Fair Xing was convincing as an outgoing bubbly girl, and also convincing in her sad/angry moments where she questioned herself/ her past decisions.

I would say I wasn’t that hooked on the first episode, but later on I was.
It’s really cute to watch how Gu Weiyi and Situ Mo’s relationship develops because of how Gu Weiyi tries his best to gain advice from his friends - and his professor.
This type of drama is my sort of type - a romantic comedy. It was really cute and heartwarming!!
Okay that’s all I’m going to say because idk what to write. bye

Cute RomCom with little com and no follow through.
This was a fluffy, slice of life Rom-Com. The second half of the series is at least consistent with its themes over the first half which can't really seem to land any of the jokes or complete out a subplot.The story revolves around the love story of Si Tu Mo (Momo) and Gu Wei Yi - two college kids who end up being pushed together when they both end up as apartment mates in an off campus apartment owned by Gu Wei Yi's mother. The story's main conflict is that Si Tu Mo has been in love with their mutual friend Fu Pei since high school but he's too scared of his father to confess their mutual attraction so he treats her like a pseudogirlfriend, possessive and needy but also emotionally unavailable. It's a cute little slice of life about being in school, trying to land internships but also the misadventures and misunderstandings of first love and dealing with first relationships. If you want a show that's just mostly fluff with a little bit of drama - this would probably fall right up your alley.
Cons:
- the show cannot for the life of itself land a joke or a subplot - it's constantly embarking on these tiny stories that don't really have a conclusion - Momo's boss steals her work, Momo quits her job, the internet finds out what Momo's boss did and the boss gets in trouble - does Momo land another job? Or get her job back? TBD. The audience is not told the resolution, at the end she's still unemployed and then there's an epilogue so we have no idea. This seems like a running theme in like the whole show. It just cannot land a punchline and complete the ending. There are so many times where I was confused at the point of the last 30 minutes of scenes for it not to progress the story forward and end up getting completely dropped in the next episode.
- the SML/SFL do not make any sense, it's such a one-sided relationship. The SFL (Wang Shan) is such a cool, hot, smart person and for some reason she's madly in love with SML (Fu Pei) who is sad, tall and hot but mentally a child? He grows into a better person by the end of the show from where he started but if you go from -50 to -10, you're still a -10. Fu Pei really sucks as a SML. He really only cares about himself, he has very little ambition and the ambition he does have - he doesn't care for follow-through. He asks the SFL out by saying if she doesn't go out with him, he'll hit himself with a rock. What?? Meanwhile Wang Shan is HOT, she's the third smartest person at their school, she's accomplished, she's sweet, respectful. What is her flaw? Oh, she's from a poor family ??? GIRL PLEASE. Meanwhile she's running after him registering him for his exams, tutoring him, reminding him to apply for bank loans for HIS business, keeping the lights running in HIS business. What is he doing to make her life better? NOTHING.
- the communication trope between the two main leads where the FL is passive aggressive and the ML runs after her all the time is SO frustrating. This is a first relationship show so I'm not even mad at the FL for being passive aggressive, I'm mad at the writers for never correcting it and asking her to grow as a person. This would have made for really good tv for the FL to understand that her bf is not a telepath and she needs to understand how basic communication works. There was a lot of growth and development given to the ML but the FL really doesn't get any emotional or character growth - she is the same through out and that really harms her character in the second half when she is the one being emotionally stunted and block headed.
Honestly I'm glad I watched this because I needed a reason to get over Legally Romance and this was a good palate cleanser but I would not watch this again.
