Cho Yi Hyun and Choo Young Woo have just delivered a treat for Head Over Heels fans, and it’s the kind of behind-the-scenes moment that blurs the line between drama and reality in the most delightful way. On July 22, Yi Hyun surprised followers by uploading a short, intimate video featuring her co-star on her personal Instagram. And let’s just say—it’s got fans head over heels in more ways than one.
The video, which she captioned with, “Among the photos and videos in my album, I think Young Woo stands out as a legend… I’m posting this with permission to show off the beauty of the actor,” offers a charming peek into their off-camera dynamic. In it, Choo Young Woo appears shirtless, wearing nothing but sweatpants, smiling and laughing candidly while Yi Hyun—dressed in a traditional hanbok—flashes a few cute poses in front of him. The contrast between her costume and his casual look makes the moment all the more captivating.
As the clip continues, Young Woo leans his head affectionately on Yi Hyun’s shoulder, adding a touch of playful intimacy that immediately had fans buzzing. His chest, still marked with the red protective spells from an earlier scene in the drama, hints that the clip was filmed shortly after an intense moment from Head Over Heels. That scene involves Yi Hyun’s character drawing spiritual symbols on his body to shield him from a looming dark force—adding an extra layer of context and magic to the casual, lighthearted vibe of the video.
It didn’t take long for the post to set social media ablaze. Fans are praising Choo Young Woo’s striking visuals and swooning over the duo’s natural chemistry. The term “legend” feels fitting, as both actors manage to radiate warmth and ease that has only fueled speculation about their closeness offscreen. While neither has commented on the nature of their relationship, that hasn’t stopped viewers from rooting for them in real life, too.
Adding to the frenzy is the ongoing success of Head Over Heels, a fantasy-romance series that follows high schooler Park Seong Ah (Cho Yi Hyun), who secretly moonlights as Fairy Cheon Ji, a powerful young shaman. When she encounters Bae Gyeon Woo (Choo Young Woo)—a new transfer student with a haunting fate—her mission to protect him leads to a blend of mysticism, suspense, and slow-burn romance.
Between their sizzling onscreen tension and these sweet, candid glimpses into their real-life rapport, Cho Yi Hyun and Choo Young Woo are quickly becoming one of the most beloved K-drama pairings of the year. Whether it’s destiny in drama or just beautiful friendship off-screen, one thing is clear: fans can’t get enough.
