The beloved pairing of Cho Yi Hyun and Choo Young Woo is making a much-anticipated return to the small screen in tvN’s upcoming fantasy romance drama “Head Over Heels”, premiering June 23, 2025.
Adapted from a popular webtoon, this heart-tugging series combines supernatural elements with emotional romance, promising to deliver both suspense and swoon-worthy moments.
In “Head Over Heels,” Cho Yi Hyun takes on the role of Park Seong A, a high school student who hides her identity as a nighttime shaman.
Known as a “human talisman,” Seong A has been trained to ward off misfortune, and her powers are soon put to the test when her first love reenters her life under ominous circumstances.
Choo Young Woo plays Bae Gyeon U, a classmate born with the tragic fate of a predestined death.
Haunted by constant bad luck and determined to isolate himself to protect others, Gyeon U unexpectedly finds hope—and resistance to his destiny—in Seong A’s unwavering presence.
Recently released stills offer a peek into the couple’s magnetic chemistry and emotionally charged encounters.
One scene shows Seong A smiling brightly at Gyeon U after their reunion at school, contrasting with his cold, hesitant gaze—a subtle nod to the emotional scars he carries.
Another moment hints at romantic tension as the two lock eyes in an almost-kiss scene, sending anticipation skyrocketing among fans of the genre.
In a particularly bold and playful shot, Seong A performs a wall slam, leaving Gyeon U wide-eyed and stunned as he covers his mouth in surprise.
Her confident stance against his startled expression captures the essence of their growing relationship—Seong A pushing forward with love and light, while Gyeon U struggles with the shadow of his fate.
The drama also marks a reunion between Cho Yi Hyun and Choo Young Woo, who previously co-starred in the 2021 drama “School 2021.”
Both actors have expressed excitement about working together again.
Cho Yi Hyun shared,
“Reuniting with actor Choo Young Woo after we’ve both grown gave me a lot of motivation,” while Choo Young Woo added, “It was a joy and a little surreal. She was a great source of support on set.”
Beyond the romance, “Head Over Heels” promises deeper thematic layers, exploring fate versus free will, the power of love to heal, and the resilience of youth.
As Park Seong A fights the spiritual forces threatening her first love and Gyeon U grapples with his desire to protect those he cares about—even from himself—their journey becomes a battle against destiny.
Directed by a team with experience in emotionally rich and visually captivating dramas, “Head Over Heels” is expected to appeal to fans of both classic romance and modern fantasy.
With tvN’s reputation for producing top-tier youth dramas, including hits like “True Beauty” and “Twenty-Five Twenty-One,” this series may well be the next fan-favorite.
Set to premiere June 23 at 8:50 p.m. KST, “Head Over Heels” is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of heartwarming, fated love stories with a supernatural twist.
While you wait, revisit the duo’s earlier work in “School 2021” to see how far their on-screen chemistry has come.
One thing is certain: fate may try to tear them apart, but love—and a determined shaman—might just stand a chance.
