Put Your Head On My Shoulder
Xing Fei - Situ Mo
Lin Yi - Gu Weiyi
This drama was okay. It reminded me a lot of First Love with Wang Xingyue and Tian Xiwei I think it was. It is very youth and like trying to navigate one’s first romantic feelings for someone else. It was made in like 2021 or earlier, so not that recent I think. That might have been another reason why it’s not hitting very much. This drama wasn’t bad, but there was nothing captivating about it. The ML was played by Lin Yi and I may have some bias based on the actors. I don’t really care for Lin Yi’s look or acting. I think that sometimes, he is a bit too static and the styling in this drama just was not it. Also, his character in general was very boyish and nerdish, and he didn’t really know how to like cook or anything. So, he didn’t appear very manly if that makes sense. Also, I didn’t like how he like explained so many things using science just to show that he is knowledgable. After a while, that whole spiel got annoying. Gu Weiyi was just very emotionless and it was hard to connect with his character. Although he was always a gentleman and a good guy, there was definitely not anything special. Situ Mo’s character also just didn’t stick with me either. She wasn’t the smartest and she was extremely dramatic and almost babyish at times. Just seemed like a very naive girl who was also affected by men a lot. I mean that in a sense that whether it be Fu Pei or Gu Weiyi, her mood and actions would largely surround them. I like independent woman more in shows and this drama did not show that. Nor did it really show the protective side of either one of them either. It just fell flat in many different ways. Overall, I think that for someone just starting out watching cdramas, this drama is simple and easy to understand and watch. But, it just doesn’t have the complexity or depth that I like watching.
(These are my overall thoughts. Below is some more detailed thoughts based on certain episodes and scenes, but the reason why there are so little tells you about how many thoughts I had about this drama.)
Fu Pei is really something. He obviously knows that Situ Mo likes him, but he’s always disappointing her. Not only that, but he also avoids any hint at Situ Mo’s feelings even though she’s made it clear before. What a jerk. He’s just trying to invalidate her feelings when he himself has known that she likes him. Now, not to say Gu Weiyi is perfect either. He’s very emotionless, but at least he’s a gentleman. Every time Fu Pei disappoints Situ Mo by not showing up or smth, Gu Weiyi is always there to make up for it. Gu Weiyi does have a high EQ though, as he can instantly tell when Situ Mo is feeling down because of Fu Pei’s actions. Gu Weiyi is a standard good guy, just lacking some emotions.
Episode 4 pissed me off. Fu Pei has no right to act like that. He was being so petty and just unneccessarily rude and sarcastic. If you like Situ Mo, just tell her. Why do you have to say hurtful words and act like you don’t care? Fu Pei was the one who said they were just friends, so I don’t see how it’s any of his business where Situ Mo lives. Also, I really dont want this to be one of those dramas where the FL keeps on going back to the toxic second ML while there is a better option right in front of her. That scene where Gu Weiyi got her the hair tie at the hospital, but threw it away because she went back with Fu Pei was really sad. Gu Weiyi is already falling for Situ Mo by episode 4 and the fact that Situ Mo is still affected by Fu Pei is pissing me off.
Episode 7 was sad but beautiful at the same time. When Shanshan and Fu Pei almost kissed because Fu Pei was drunk and thought that was Momo, Momo’s face was utterly disappointed. She was already uncomfortable with Fu Pei coming to their house to celebrate when they weren’t even friends anymore. Gu Weiyi may be awkward and not that in-tune with his emotions but he can definitely read Momo’s emotions. When he was beside Momo and saw her face when she saw that, he instantly knew the disappointment that she felt. He protected her in that instant by telling those two to leave. He’s always so observant of Momo. Fu Pei on the other hand just keeps on making mistakes and trying to make up for them, but making even more mistakes.
