Head Over Heels review: Choo Young Woo, Cho Yi-hyun shine in wholesome K-drama

If you've been ardent K-drama watcher and longed for the emotional rush of early 2000s K-dramas, 'Head Over Heels' might just be your next on the popular webtoon by Ahn Su-min, 'Head Over Heels' follows Park Seong-ah (Cho Yi-hyun of 'All of Us Are Dead' fame), a young shaman gifted, or burdened, with the ability to foresee the future. She attempts to change the tragic fate of her first love, Bae Gyeon-woo (Choo Young-woo of 'Mercy For None' fame), a teenager seemingly destined for misfortune since birth. With only 21 days in his hands, what unfolds is a heartwarming journey that blends love, and mythology into one neatly packed series. advertisement'Head Over Heels' stands out as one of the best K-dramas of 2025 without a doubt. The show expertly balances diverse genres- young love, spiritual fantasy, coming-of-age, and friendships without leaning too heavily into any single trope. Its tone is whimsical yet grounded, evoking the narrative innocence of early K-drama classics, while still feeling fresh and in line to today's sensibilities. The pacing is tight, emotionally charged, and never dragging. Choo Young-woo shines in his portrayal of Bae Gyeon-woo, navigating a role that demands both vulnerability and charisma. He threads his performance with a sensitivity that's rare in young actors, easily making him one to watch (and stan). Meanwhile, Cho Yi-hyun delivers arguably one of her most nuanced performances to date. As Seong-ah, she embodies innocence, resilience, and quiet fury with equal power, creating a compelling, complex female lead who anchors the Kang-yoon [Resident Playbook] as Pyo Ji-ho is a delightful addition to the narrative. His camaraderie with both Young-woo and Yi-hyun adds another layer of levity and heart into the storyline. Whether through dry wit or 'touching' sincerity (pun intended), Kang-yoon often steals the scene with comic timing and warmth. His presence expands the core duo into a heartfelt trio, grounding the show's themes of friendship and loyalty. Another value addition is Kim Mi-kyung [Healer] as Seong-a's spirit mother. There is no denying that she is perhaps one of the most versatile actors in the industry and she proves exactly why she is reliable yet again in 'Head Over Heels'.Their chemistry, sometimes endearing, sometimes hilarious, anchors the narrative in both romance and said, for those unfamiliar with Korean mythology or fantastical storytelling tropes, the later episodes might come off as a bit dense. But a little patience will make it worth the trouble.'Head Over Heels' is a reminder that love stories, when layered with myth and magic, can still feel refreshing when grounded in strong performances and thoughtful writing. It's heartfelt, beautifully shot, and funny.'Head Over Heels' succeeds in delivering a story that lingers, equal parts sweet, sad, and spellbinding. It has a total of 12 episodes, available for streaming on Prime Video in India.- EndsMust Watch
