Head Over Heels
And why did they decide to participate in this K-drama?
Cho Yi-hyun:
I was won over by the lightness and how entertaining the script was. I found Park Seong-A’s double life fascinating, and I felt that if I could rise to this challenge, I would grow a lot as an actress. So I decided to fully commit to this project.
Choo Young-woo:
I already really liked the original webtoon and was excited about the chance to play a romantic and cute role, something quite different from the characters I usually portray.
How was it working with Choo Young-woo? What did you learn from him during filming?
Cho Yi-hyun:
I was happy to meet him again on this project. Seeing how much he has grown as an actor was very inspiring, and I learned a lot from him throughout the filming.
Oh Cho Yi-hyun? What did you learn from her during the filming?
Choo Young-woo:
It was great to work with her again. I felt very comfortable on set. We talked a lot, and the collaborative process was really enjoyable. Seeing the care and attention Yi-hyun gives to every detail taught me a lot—I even realized how such dedication can make all the difference in the final result.
What were the biggest challenges during filming? And what was the most fun part on set?
Cho Yi-hyun:
Interpreting a shaman required quite a bit of preparation, so that part was really challenging. But the scenes in the classroom with the friends were super light-hearted and fun to film.
Choo Young-woo:
The weather was certainly one of our biggest challenges. We faced extreme heat and cold. But these memories will remain etched, because we overcame everything together. Now, in the final stretch before the premiere and meeting the audience, I’m experiencing the most exciting and happiest moment.
This drama also addresses shamanism, an important aspect of Korean culture. What was that experience like? Did you learn more about it throughout the project?
Cho Yi-hyun:
I realized that healing people is not something exclusive to medicine. Shamans also help, each in their own way. It was a mysterious and revealing experience.
Choo Young-woo:
The more I learned about the subject, the more fascinating it became. Experiencing these stories made me think: “Could there be something beyond what we can see?”
Many Korean actors have been coming to Brazil. Would you also like to visit the country and meet Brazilian fans someday?
Cho Yi-hyun:
I would definitely love to meet the Brazilian fans. I’m working very hard to grow as an actress, and I really hope this meeting happens soon.
Choo Young-woo:
I’ve always wanted to get to know Brazil and would love to stay for at least a month to fully experience it. To our Brazilian fans: send lots of love to
Head Over Heels
, for Seong-A and for Gyeon-U!
