Head Over Heels Korean drama review: If you like genre like teen romcom, then ‘Head over Heels’ in 2025 will definitely try to touch your heart. This Korean drama has high school romance, occult powers, spirits, and a time-ticking twist that makes it a little bit different.
what is the story
The main character Seong-ah (Jo Yi-hyun) is a teenage girl who studies during the day and becomes a magical shaman who talks to spirits at night. He has amazing powers as well as a big heart. He is raised by his spiritual mother, General Dongcheon (Kim Mi-kyung). The story takes a twist when a new student, Bae Gyeon-woo (Chu Young-woo), joins her class – who can only survive for 21 days. Seong-ah likes him a lot and hence she takes up the responsibility of saving him and during this mission, love blossoms between the two.
evil spirit on romance
Gyeon-woo’s body is invaded by an evil spirit named Bong-soo, who has been summoned by Yeom Hwa (Choo Ja-hyun), a powerful shaman and villain who has sacrificed 100 people. The story gets more exciting from here as Seong-ah not only has to save her love but also has to fight this mysterious spirit.
what is good
Emotional depth: Seong-aa and Gyeon-woo’s relationship is heart-touching. Both are away from their families but their inner wounds bring them closer to each other.
Magical Elements: The spirits, shaman rituals and mysterious environment make the show quite different. Although the character of Shaman has not been shown very well in Korean web series, but in this web series you will get to know about a good-hearted Shaman.
What could have been a little better?
slow speed: Some of the middle episodes of this web series seem a bit stretched and you may feel like skipping in between.
Villain’s Grip: The villain’s backstory is interesting, but his tactics fall flat. The villain was described as dangerous before his entry, but after his entry he appears to be an innocent villain. Yeom Hwa (Chu Jae-hyun) is a more negative character than the evil spirit, due to whom the evil spirit is freed.
Absence of fear: Despite the presence of ghosts, the horror effect remains mild. You will not feel scared anywhere, but yes you will definitely get angry at the ghost.
final review
‘Head Over Heels’ is no masterpiece, but it is a heartwarming, sweet and magical series that is perfect for fans of teen drama, fantasy and romance. It definitely has some flaws, but its positive message and emotional touch make it worth watching once. If you’re a fan of haunted romance and mystical teen drama, ‘Head Over Heels’ won’t disappoint you – just keep your expectations in check.
