Head Over Heels

Park Seong-a is a teenage shaman who refuses to accept the future written for someone else. When she learns a quiet, enigmatic boy, Bae Gyeon-u, is fated to die young, she throws herself into rituals, investigations, and risky bargains to alter that outcome. Their first meeting shifts everything, turning what could have been a mission into a fragile romance that brightens dark corners and complicates every plan. As threats linked to the prophecy tighten, Seong-a and Gyeon-u find humor, tenderness, and stubborn hope in each other, while friends and rivals test how much one person can change what seems inevitable.

Created by Kim Yong-wan and released in 2025, Head Over Heels stars Cho Yi-hyun, Choo Young-woo, Cha Kang-yoon, and Choo Ja-hyun, blending genre elements from sci-fi, fantasy, drama, and comedy in a compact series format.
