Literally "Head over Heels" for ChooCho
"Her sleeping habit is... too dangerous" - Bae Gyeon U
I'm writing this review just because I haven't written one for any of Yi Hyun's other dramas. I know that this review will be very positive towards this drama and it can be super biased, but I'll write it nonetheless.
This drama has a unique concept where a shaman really goes out of her way, even putting herself in danger, to protect one of her "client" just because she fell for him at first sight. Both Yi Hyun and Young Woo play a character where both are "cursed" at birth. One being extremely unlucky, and one being able to see ghosts. Seong-A (Yi Hyun) was bullied and mistreated for being a shaman at middle school and was used and abandoned by her own parents, whilst Gyeon-U (Young Woo) was so unlucky that his own parents abandoned him and left him with his grandma. There is of course a usual love triangle, Jiho (Kang Yoon), who is basically Seong-A only friend, and secretly likes her, is one of the best characters I've seen as well. Instead of the usual jealous crush cliche, Jiho actually went out of his way to help her protect Gyeon-U, knowing she really likes him. And as for the so called "Evil Deity" who possessed Gyeon-U, or now called Bong Su, I really love that even with his appearance, the drama still keeps their original flow, meaning that it doesn't suddenly become a horror or super serious drama, yet he's just like a lost little boy. Can't wait to see his backstory, and why he became an Evil Deity. This drama is full of funny and serious moments that always go hand-in-hand, one moment you're laughing and suddenly they go serious. This drama is definitely a light watch, nothing too complicated, yet each episode will definitely make you hooked.
Casting-wise, there's Yi Hyun. What more can I ask for.
Nah I'm just joking, even though there's Yi Hyun, they picked the perfect role for every character. Let's start with Kim Mi-Kyung (Yi Hyun's spirit mother, or General Dongcheon), she is definitely the perfect fit to be Yi Hyun's spirit mother. I loved her in every scene she's in, especially when she's with Yoon Byung Hee (Flower Master), they're always so funny even in serious situations. I hope that she doesn't actually sacrifice herself to help Seong-A or Yeomhwa, her vibe is always to protect them no matter the cost, even though this is just my prediction, hopefully it doesn't happen. Next is of course Young Woo, he's the perfect first crush vibe that is so cold that looks super unapproachable yet is actually not like that when you get to know him. I've even heard that Head over Heels' rating went up after the release of episode 6 since people can't wait to see Gyeon-U but bolder at least towards Seong-A. As for Kang Yoon, the soon to be joining the second lead club. I can't say I relate but he's just like me, can't and won't say our true feelings to our crush, until it's too late. Our difference is that he is attractive and is actually interacting with his crush, even becoming her only friend. Choo Ja Hyun also plays Yeomhwa super good, and as I said before, actors/actresses that successfully made us hate them when playing a villain, is absolutely a good actor/actress. Since I can't really comment for the other casts individually, just know that casting wise, they have done a super great job.
I can't tell you how many times I've rewatched the previous episodes and how itchy it is to wait for 20:30 PM on Monday and Tuesday for the newer episodes to come on Prime. This is definitely one of Yi Hyun's best drama, and is one of the best K-dramas to come out this year. I won't say you will regret it if you don't watch it, but you will definitely be missing out on one of the best K-Dramas this year, at least for now, since we still have 5 months left to go. That's all for my review, I'll continue to wait for 21 July 20:30 PM and rewatch episode 1-8 for now ;>.
