Adorable, wholesome, melodrama-free show
This show is so refreshingly sweet and escapist and revolves around a group of soon-to-be college graduates as they navigate friendship and love. The main storyline follows Gu Wei Yi, an introverted physics student and Si Tu Mo, a bubbly accounting-turned-advertising student as they accidentally move into together and fall in love. There's very little drama so no breaking up of the main couple for stupid reasons or stuff like that. You just get to watch the main couple be cute together, which is nice. The second lead couple, Wang Shan and Fu Pei, don't have as developed of a storyline, but that's all right, because I was mostly watching for the main couple anyway.
The show has similar vibes to A Love so Beautiful (unsurprisingly, because they're both based off books by the same author). Both shows revolve around a young student couple where the girl is super bubbly and the guy is very introverted, and there are a bunch of love triangles. But unlike in ALSB, in Put Your Head on My Shoulder, the main couple meets each other for the first time in the pilot episode, there's not as much one-sided love, and the love triangles fade fairly quickly. Also, because the characters are in college, not high school, they're a bit more mature, and obviously, the individual plotlines are very different.
Music: I love the opening and closing credit theme songs!! They're so adorable and perfect for the show's tone. The rest of the soundtrack is good, too.
High rewatch value because it's just such a happy, feel-good show :)
