For Me, A one time watch drama
gu wei yi and si tu mo are so cute together. They go through lovely as well as funny moments. I really liked the drama till the end. I don't think I am very happy with the ending where they have a kid. I think that the drama should've ended with them just getting married. The other characters are interesting too . I really want to mention Gu wei Yi's jealous lab mate. He is so funny. Even his teacher was funny. I wouldn't watch the drama again, but I think its pretty nice for a one time watch.Was this review helpful to you?

I've seen this multiple times now and I still love it. Sometimes I have to pause when I know the cringe is coming, but it's still amazing. It's not common that a drama actually makes me laugh out loud, but I absolutely love this one. It's one of my go-to comfort shows, where when I just wanna curl up and watch something sweet this is one of my usual fall backs.I love the leads and their entire dynamic, with Si Tu Mo not just being the ditzy to Gu Wei Yi's smart, but instead having an equal relationship with just as much give and take. Gu Wei Yi is portrayed as intelligent, but not overbearingly in all aspects of life like you'd get from most smart male leads. He's also not arrogant about it, once again, like most smart male leads would be, and never puts Si Tu Mo down or makes her feel any lesser for not having his level of intelligence, as he seems to also understand in just how many ways her intelligence can be superior to his own in other fields of life.
They had a lot of cute scenes together that truly showed their dynamic, and I really am a sucker for whenever stereotypically "mature" characters get the chance to act like complete children, which they both do a lot. They each show different layers of themselves and their own maturity through their actions for each other and in general. Them calling a rumba their child and referring to themselves as its parents, them having fun in a ball pit, them having a watermelon eating competition to determine who likes it more, him hiding her food in a high place when she's ignoring him so she has to talk to him, but then also their level of communication where they complain about each other before ultimately apologizing 30 seconds later and forgoing fights which in other shows could have spanned multiple episodes.
I think it's just kind of refreshing to see what's actually a pretty healthy relationship. Not too much excess drama, no one TRULY tearing them apart (a little bit from side characters, but there's no backstabbing or plotting, just a touch of good old fashioned jealousy which encourages the characters to acknowledge their feelings for each other). Strong communication where they both have their boundaries and if Si Tu Mo tells him not to touch her, to let go of her from a hug, or just in general she doesn't want to go any further, he back off. No forcing her to do anything, no uncomfortable "Was that sexual assault...?" no saying he just couldn't help himself, he lets go, he takes a step back. He proceeds to actively talk out what's happening even though you can tell they're both uncomfortable talking about everything, especially him at times, he's not the most talkative person ever. But they still proceed to talk it out and maybe hug after if they're both okay with it.
All in all, I just love their innocent dynamic and respect of consent, and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cute, completely uncontroversial show to brighten their day.

So, what made me watch this?
I scanned from the comment section for some affirmation, because I'm also not the type to just easily ignore a cute drama poster. Lol. Good thing I did, because the top comments ALL only have nice words about this. So, I tried to watch it. And yup! Don't get thrown off by the synopsis. It is totally different from the other dramas that has cohabitation concept.
And while the story is indeed still very basic, the chemistry and acting of the actors as well as their characters' personalities makes the whole environment more refreshing. The main guy is your classic high-IQ pretty face boy next door. But unlike the other ones who always act superior (and let's be honest — a bit asshole) over the lead girl, Gu Wei Yi here was never an asshole towards Si Tu Mo — the main girl. He always try to understand Mo Mo and was always very gentle with her.
Si Tu Mo on the other hand is a pretty level headed character considering the nature of the story. She was never the "chasing-the-guy" type of character as it always have been for others. Don't get me wrong! There's nothing wrong with going after the guy, but I just find Mo Mo's overall personality rather refreshing. She's like Bei Wei Wei of Love O2o but much more interesting and with more emotions.
Wei Yi and Mo Mo are VERY ADORABLE. You can't help but smile while watching them. The comedic nature is also a plus point. If you love A Love So Beautiful and Love O2o, you'd definitely fall for this one as well. I'd say that this is like a fusion of those two c-dramas. Put Your Head on My Shoulder is very light and feel good, nothing too heavy. A good drama to watch if you want to give yourself a nice positive break.

StoryIt's a story about love, there is not much plot but the sweet thing you don't just see the typical couple romance "how they met and in the final they kissed" it's more like you see the developing of their love and you go trough the journey until they even live together in a relationship until they get married.
I've skip most parts not include them together- their have a perfect chemistry between them, it look real and genuine so i like to watch only them, maybe the other couple would have been interesting but i didn't like the actors...so i pass.
The music is not my cup of tea it's just one song repeat itself, and the song is very boring and not creative.they could have adding more music more songs to make it better.
The cast - like i said the couple- love their acting they are really good at this kind of rolls.
also the family are good.
overall, it was high quality not only the filming and the cast but the developing of the scenes and the way you can relate and connect to them and even miss them when it's already end.
24 episode in just couple of days i like it a lot and at first i can say for sure they copy al ot from Koreans,the vibe the filming the looks the feeeling.. i know the specific scenes. but yet it was worth it i guess

One of the most fun to watch romance dramas
This is my first review and I'm going to keep it brief and to the point , the main leads were incredibly likable, at least the main guy was. Going into this drama I expected him to be the stereotypical genius who had little to no social skills and therefore was going to have a bunch of awkward antics and the romance was going to somehow blossom from that. Although he does end up exhibiting some of those quirks, for the most part the main lead was very much a social and likable character and he just oozed charm through his actions. His actions had motives that felt genuine, and maybe I was just starting to get fatigued by main leads who go out of their way to do stuff to seem charming, but I definitely could imagine why someone would begin to fall for a guy like him. My review is going to be mainly focused on him because well, the show doesn't really do a whole much else.The main female lead is also pretty good in her role, her plot (like much of the drama which I will get to later) doesn't really do much for the overall drama however she has good chemistry with the main lead. I don't want to sound like im underplaying her performance because as a character they just played well of each other and you can really experience how the main lead falls for her (sorry for referring to them by their leads I'm terrible when it comes to names for characters in dramas)
My only gripe with this drama which is the reason why I wouldn't be able to put it any higher than maybe like an 8(?) (the only reason i didn't is because I've given more involved dramas an 8 and it wouldn't seem fair) was because of the lack of a real plot to carry the story. This is where I go into spoiler-y territory so I'll just put this here, If you want to see a nice couple fall in love and be cute and stuff and make you regret being single then yeah go for it have fun you won't regret it. However if you want some nice plot to be resolved and to see the characters face something outside of their love for one another then I'm hard pressed to recommend it.
its on netflix so its an easy binge :)
spoilers from here on out
There really isn't much to spoil as I said there really isn't a plot but this becomes incredibly apparent after the main couple get together, this isn't helped by the fact that I'm used to watching dramas that are like 14-16 episodes long and they usually won't even have their first kiss until like episode 9 or something and by then the main plot is in full swing. At around episode 10-13 or so the main two leads are already dating and with half the show left, the drama becomes very transparent about its lack of urgency in creating a reason for the show to keep going. I may be exaggerating when I say there isn't any plot but in terms of a major plot there really is not one and the show just kinda ends after they graduate and get married. For this reason the show leaves you with a sense of "huh okay i guess?" As nice as it was to see the main leads get together and be cute you don't really get anything else out of it and it just makes the show feel more of a time waster. However if you don't care about that and are just looking for some nice chemistry and romance (which I was after watching a few eps of a drama where the main lead were really good looking but my god did they have like zero chemistry) then this will fill the void.
okay cool thanks :)

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.
