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

'Squid Game,' Park Bo-gum and K-pop: Korea continues to attract tourists with K-content
SEOUL: Clad in the iconic green tracksuit from 'Squid Game,' Ria dashes through South Korean landmarks, pursued by guards in pink jumpsuits. But this isn't a teaser for a new season of the global Netflix sensation — it's a tourism promotion video that has racked up more than 11 million views since its release on July 3. In another campaign leveraging the popularity of 'All of Us Are Dead,' two high school students and Jason, a friend turning into a zombie, take viewers through major tourist attractions, blending the show's zombie survival theme with explorations of scenic spots. The videos are part of a broader strategy that taps into the global appeal of Korean pop culture to attract international visitors. Park Bo-gum (pic), who recently starred in "When Life Gives You Tangerines," appears in three separate tourism videos, including a music video for 'On My Way.' Performed by Park, 'On My Way' is the result of a collaboration between the Korea Tourism Organization, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the K-pop industry. The track was composed by Kenzie, Andrew Choi, No2zcat, JSONG (Oceancave) and Kim Yoohyun. Kenzie, who also wrote the lyrics, is a prolific K-pop producer behind dozens of hits, while Andrew Choi provided vocals as Jinwoo, a member of the fictional idol group Saja Boys in Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters." Park said that one of his favourite places is the area surrounding Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung. 'But I hope you'll also explore regions outside of Seoul. I'd especially recommend Busan, where I recently filmed 'Good Boy,' he added. He also recommended Seoul's public bike-sharing service, Seoul Bike, officially known as Ddareungi. 'I love riding a Ddareungi along the Han River,' the actor said. 'If you haven't tried it yet, I'd really like to introduce you to it.' This year's campaign also includes two videos promoting Korea's regional charm — one spotlighting the Gyeongsang region and another focused on the Jeolla provinces. The video on Gyeongsang captures the energy and cultural richness of the North and South Gyeongsang provinces through a modern reinterpretation of the traditional sword dance, "geommu." Meanwhile, the video on Jeolla provinces showcases the region's serene natural beauty through "seungmu," a meditative and graceful dance. Both videos are set to a fusion of traditional and modern music. Through these new videos, the campaign aims to showcase the regions' cultural and scenic appeal while highlighting areas still healing from hardship, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. These two regions were the sites of tragic incidents last year: wildfires that lasted for 10 days in South Gyeongsang Province in March and a plane crash in Muan-gun, South Jeolla Province, in December that killed all but two on board. First launched in 2015, South Korea's tourism promotional videos, featuring top celebrities such as BTS, Lee Jung-jae and NewJeans, have drawn increasing global attention, particularly following the breakout success of the "Feel the Rhythm of Korea" series in 2020. The series has since become a cultural phenomenon, with its videos collectively amassing over 240 million views across multiple platforms. BTS also appeared on several 'Feel the Rhythm of Korea' videos in 2022, which reached over 230 million views on YouTube less than three weeks after their release. Last year, South Korea welcomed approximately 16.37 million overseas visitors, a 48.4 per cent increase from the previous year and reaching 94 per cent of the pre‑Covid‑19 peak of around 17.5 million in 2019, according to the KTO. The country aims to attract 18.5 million overseas visitors this year, up 13 per cent from 2024. By 2027, Korea hopes to welcome 30 million international visitors annually by expanding cultural exports and enhancing tourism infrastructure across the country. - The Korea Herald/ANN
