Put Your Head on My Shoulder (2019)

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.

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.

This was so darn cute. I got a few good laugh out of this which was that more than I really expected. I will tell you that there were so many scenes that had me super frustrated and those scenes were the almost embraces or the almost kisses. It was so many of them that it was exasperating. It was still good though. I love the growth of each character and I especially love that the female lead was smart, strong and hilarious. Her character had the perfect balance. Lately there have been so many series were the female lead chances a love interest so desperately it’s sickening but not this one. She was sweet yet resolute. The male lead was equally amazing. I loved the fact that he was sweet, consistent and genuine. I really enjoyed it. My only complaint is that I wanted more meat in the ending. It was sweet but I would have loved to see more. There was a big time jump. The supporting cast were fun to watch. No psychotic cast members or damsels in distress.

I love the way their relationship developed. I kinda like where the ML and FL has a height difference.

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.

The storyline is quite amazing ????
I started watching it after watching a few clips online. It really caught my attention. After watching so many dramas( I'm a drama addict fyi), I was looking for a story like this.
Even though I was quite annoyed at the second-lead in the beginning, the story had quite interesting turns, which held me hooked to it.
Actually why I liked it so much is that, it's quite similar to Love o2o, which is my all time favourite. And it's quite light hearted compared to Love o2o, was a complete stress-buster. I've downloaded the whole drama, n would re-watch it again n again, maybe until I understand the dialogues without subtitles ????

Such a lovely series - and it was my first Chinese one actually.

Without saying too much, it was slow paced, entertaining and fun. Almost everything about this drama felt nice, right, healing? of sorts. It's almost as if you're inside your bed, comfortable and warm. Sometimes the multiple shots and the montages of scenes did irk me, and I did skip through most of the second plot (the friend's plot) because... I simply didn't care all that much about his character - but it was nice for the writers to include a sub plot, even if it was just not one I liked. I really recommend it for anyone that wants something quite free of overdramatic plots.

Accidentally found this drama after I started watching Chinese dramas. It was my first youth chinese drama.

STORY:
The story is very simple as it follow a couple at the end of their university year and the beginning of their professional life. I thought it was well told with a good balance between school life, training life and their challenges and a bit of office life. And all along we are seeing these two persons getting together and how they become a couple. Everything looked natural and the pace of the story was very good. There is not evil person, no terrible drama, and although things looked very secured for the main couple I felt concerned and close to them and I cheered for them. I believe it is because the narration gives less parts to the secondary characters (second couple, rivals, friends, family...) and invites us into the "almost" intimacy of the main couple as we these two live, eat, sleep, go to work, go to the supermarket together in assorted colors every day. Overall I thought the story was cute, very natural and the ending was nicely wrapped.

ACTING / CAST:
This was my first time watching Fair Xing in a drama. I thought she was spot on in this role. She was cute, smart, combative and tried not to doubt herself. The main guy was great too. Perfectly portraying some cute gentle nerd who overcomes his lack of sociability for the girl he liked out of hand. I am looking forward to see his new projects. More than everything, I thought the chemistry between these two people was the biggest quality of this drama. They were just incredible together on screen and yes the difference of height helped a lot. The second leads were nice too. The second lead actor was a bit stiff but I guess it was his role. I saw him in other works where he was quite fun. The couple he forms with the second female lead has less cuteness but how they become a couple is credible too and you are happy for them as they are good persons. All the actors were ok and I liked the mother, the parents which brought the nice family touch to this drama.

MUSIC:
I guess the music was good and helped . I don't remember much of it meaning I did not like it to listen to it beside watching the drama. I was a bit surprised there was some many cat and animals sound' effects but you get used to it and it brings something to the cute mood.

REWATCH:
I think the story is very simple and although I felt close to them and eager to know how they would end I don't think it is good enough for me to rewatch it entirely. I still remember some great scene I would gladly rewatch though: the hospital when she is sick, the trip to the seashore, the failed first time, , the trip to Germany....

OVERALL: One of my favorite of 2019. Super recommended.

Why you should watch this drama?

Firstly, I'm the type of watcher that will drop a drama with silly break up because of misunderstanding and what so ever. So the fact that I manage to watch it till the end meaning that this story is so special. It makes you laugh, smile, blush and cry (out of happiness<333). The acting was good too! Anyway, this is a story that will make you crave for more and warning, once you watch it, you can never stop! <3333

For the storyline itself, I think it's great actually. You see how a person slowly inlove, how they turn into a couple, how they bicker but lower the ego to apologize, how they handle jealousy and more.

It's also include friendship, students life, work life, one sided love and more.

For the music, it doesn't get stuck in my head, but it makes me follow the singer to sing along ;p hehe

Anyway, this is totally a stress reliever drama you should watch!

10/10 <3
