From webtoon to the screen: A story of love, fate, and sacrifice

Her life takes an unexpected turn when she begins to have prophetic dreams about Bae Gyeon-woo, her first love, portrayed by Choo Young-woo. These dreams aren’t just nostalgic, they’re warnings. Gyeon-woo is destined for a tragic end, and Seong-ah becomes determined to rewrite that fate, no matter the cost.

Rather than taking the typical rom-com route, Head Over Heels dives into the emotional weight of knowing someone’s future while still being powerless to stop it.
That tension between love and helplessness fuels the show’s central conflict. She needs to manage using her powers, the doubt of those she talks with and her continued feelings for Gyeon-woo.
Visually, the show promises a moody and ethereal atmosphere, supported by tvN’s high production standards and Studio Dragon’s creative storytelling. Directed by Kim Yong-wan and written by Yang Ji-hoon, the series blends heartfelt drama with suspense and supernatural mystery. The chemistry between the leads, previously praised in other projects, adds another layer of emotional depth.
The supporting cast, including Cha Kang-yoon, Choo Ja-hyun, and Yoon Byung-hee, enrich the narrative with layers of folklore, spiritual tension, and subtle comic relief. Whether you're a fan of slow-burn romance, spiritual themes, or emotional storytelling, Head Over Heels is poised to strike a chord with global audiences.
Streaming on Amazon Prime for international viewers, the series aims to attract both fans of the original webtoon and newcomers looking for a fresh take on love, destiny, and inner strength. In a sea of dramas, Head Over Heels could end up being 2025's most heartfelt and memorable ones.
