Adorable story that went on a few episodes too many.

I mostly watched this show because the book it is based on was written by the same author who wrote the book that A Love so Beautiful was based on. A Love so Beautiful is one of my favorite Chinese dramas so I had high expectations for Put Your Head on My Shoulder. Both shows give you an adorable, fluffy feeling that leaves you smiling by the end of each episode. But this show turned the "cute dial" up a few notches. Unlike A Love so Beautiful, the male lead in Put your Head on my Shoulder isn't confused by and doesn't try to hide his feelings for the female lead. He does most of the chasing, and my favorite scenes involved him attacking his romantic problems as if they were a math equation or a puzzle that needed assembling. I'm not implying that he had a sterilized approach to romance, because he tried very hard to be romantic, he just didn't know how to do it naturally so he studied and did a lot of practicing. This attitude of his set the scene for a sweet romance.However, because the male lead worked so hard at the relationship and was so open about his feelings, the female lead, while being well written, was not quite as likable. She was very smart, hard working, and strong, but she was also a little annoying. She spent too much time snapping at people and pretending to misunderstand them when she obviously knew exactly what she wanted. But because this is an Asian drama, I expected one character to be more likable than the other, I was just surprised the male character turned out to be the more likable of the two.While I didn't like this anywhere near as much as A Love so Beautiful, I definitely reccomend this drama. It's very light and funny, the male lead is adorably romantic, the female lead is uniquely strong and imperfect, and the supporting cast is entertaining.
