Put Your Head on My Shoulder (2019)

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

Love story between two individuals who couldn't be more different

I want to emphasize that my review is based solely on this drama, as I didn't watch other versions or read the novel. However, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The cute and funny moments, the adorable love story between a shy genius and a bubbly girl - it was all perfectly presented. The fact that opposite attracts was beautifully depicted and made the story even more compelling

I thoroughly enjoyed watching that drama and was shocked to see that the female lead has very few dramas. Despite not being everyone's type, her acting was impeccable and, while not conventionally stunning, she exuded a charming and cute demeanor. In my opinion, she deserves more prominent roles

I recommend it.

Light and fluffy romantic story that finally has its leads not at polar opposites. Hate those stories about most popular, handsome, smartest guy falling for the dumbest, weakest girl in school (I blame you ISWAK!) They got one end of the spectrum, with a genius but socially awkward scientist paired with a girl who has some brains on her head. No desperate clinginess from the female character which is a bonus. I docked half a point because the second couple annoys me, because they "settled" into the relationship after being rejected by their love interests. Otherwise, cute drama.

Cute moments, but I don't think the main couple complement each other

Put your head on my shoulder is mainly a light hearted romcom, but if I'm watching a show where the romance is the main sell, I am going to be quite critical of how well the leads suit each other.

From that perspective, I don't think Gu Weiyi and Situ Mo make a good couple. GWY is a tinkerer and nerdy type at heart, he loves taking things apart and putting them back together to see how they work. Situ Mo is a pretty average nice gal. There's nothing wrong with that, but her personality doesn't not complement his.

For example, she's dismissive at best of his tinkerer nature, such as the time he turns off the lights and shows her his hand crank powered lighting device. Rather than being supportive, she points out that even her phone screen is brighter than it, putting him down. This is generally the case whenever he displays his nerdy side as well, she responds with mild annoyance (think roll your eyes type of response).

The bottom line is that rather than bring out the best in him, her personality pretty much eliminates what makes him special and by the end of the show she's turned him into a bland generic nice guy lead. He even states in voice over in the last episode: "when I'm with her I feel like my IQ goes down to 87." (this is not meant to be negative in the context his voice over, but it still illustrates the type of effect she has on him)

The second male lead, while annoying at the beginning of the show, actually goes through more development than the male lead in the show and by the end of the show, I appreciated the second couple more than the main couple.
