Will there be Head Over Heels Season 2? Fans aren't ready to say goodbye to Seong Ah & Gyeon Woo's romance after emotional finale
Here's a breakdown of what happened in the Head Over Heels ending and whether Season 2 of Choi Young Woo and Choi Yu Hyun is on the cards.
What is Head Over Heels about?
Head Over Heels is a Korean fantasy-romance drama about Park Seong Ah, a high school student who secretly works as a powerful shaman known as 'Fairy Cheon Ji.' Her world turns upside down when Bae Gyeon‑woo, a mysterious transfer student destined to die in 21 days, appears at her shrine and later in her class. As Seong Ah falls for him, she discovers he's being haunted by the spirit of a boy named Bong‑su, and she sets out to change Gyeon‑woo's fate. Blending school life, spiritual rituals, and a deep emotional connection, the drama explores love, destiny, and letting go, all against a backdrop of exorcisms, ghostly possessions, and a countdown to death.
Head Over Heels ending explained
Episode 12 picks up in the aftermath of spiritual chaos. Gyeon Woo, now partially possessed by Bong Ssu, is determined to protect Seong Ah, whose life hangs in the balance. As her soul begins to unravel, Yeom Hwa, Bong Su, and Gyeon Woo rush to perform a cleansing ritual to separate the past from the present.
One of the most emotionally charged moments comes when Gyeon Woo enters a dreamlike classroom with Seong Ah, where they reconnect as themselves without any supernatural interference. It's quiet, nostalgic, and serves as a turning point: he reclaims his own spirit while gently releasing Bong Su's lingering pain.
Meanwhile, Ji Ho, ever the quiet protector, steps aside, realising Seong‑ah's heart still belongs to Gyeon Woo. He prepares her lunch one last time, offering silent support as she returns to her first love.
The true heart of the finale lies in the farewell ritual. Seong Ah risks her life to banish Bong Su's ghost, but Yeom Hwa and the Flower Master intervene, breaking the curse just in time. Bong Su's soul is finally set free, and peace returns for everyone.
The flash-forward: closure or setup?
In the final scene, we're taken to 2028. Gyeon Woo is now an Olympic-level archer, a goal he nearly lost sight of. Seong Ah appears, late as usual, having continued helping spirits cross over. Their reunion is warm and grounded, with no magic, no ghosts, just two people in love. The kiss they share seals their promise to live fully in this world, together.
It's a satisfying ending. But that time jump has fans asking...
Will there be Head Over Heels Season 2?
As of now, tvN and the show's creators have not confirmed a second season of Head Over Heels. And narratively, Season 1 ties up most loose ends: Bong‑su finds peace, Seong‑ah returns, Gyeon‑woo reaches his dream, and even Yeom Hwa gets a quiet redemption arc.
Still, the 2028 flash-forward does leave just enough room for a sequel, perhaps focused on Seong‑ah's role in the spirit world, or a new supernatural threat that challenges the couple again. Fans have also floated the idea of a spin-off centred on Yeom Hwa or Ji‑ho, both of whom had emotionally rich stories that weren't fully explored.
So while a renewal seems unlikely right now, the show's emotional core and strong fanbase could give it a second life if demand continues.

The actress has accused the agency of financial exploitation and overwork, which she says caused significant mental distress. Back in December, Zhao, who is globally known for her role in the hit C-drama Hidden Love, revealed she had been hospitalised from exhaustion after nonstop filming and was later diagnosed with depression, further exposing the mistreatment she faced under her current management. Zhao Lusi's drama Almost Lover changes from 24 episodes to 14 episodes amid ongoing feud On Sunday, after months of waiting, Zhao Lusi's company, YinheKuyu Media (KU), finally submitted her modern romance C-drama Almost Lover for review to Chinese streaming platform Youku—but with major changes.

'You don't need to blacklist me; I quit,' she wrote, encouraging others in similar situations to take action. 'Call the police immediately!' Agency responds, and Zhao fires back with questions In response, YinheKuyu Media issued a statement on Sunday expressing "shock" at Zhao's post. They denied any illegal behaviour or contractual violations and insisted they had always respected her wishes, especially during her illness. The agency urged Zhao to stop posting 'ambiguous content' online that might lead to public misunderstandings. They also affirmed their intention to continue fulfilling their contractual responsibilities and working with Zhao to resolve the matter.

Richest K-pop idol failed 20+ auditions, lived in a cockroach-infested room, scammed by agencies; now beats BTS, G-Dragon in net worth
K-pop has its fair share of jaw-dropping success stories, but this idol built hers by staying rooted. While many chased global fame, she chose home, and the country loved her back for it. In an industry ruled by idol groups and global powerhouses like BTS, Lee Ji Eun, aka IU, has quietly held her spot as South Korea's richest singer, and she's still going strong in 2025. Debuting at just 15, her success journey is packed with poverty, rejection, scams, and friendships lost far too soon. But through it all, she never lost her voice. According to Celebrity Net Worth and Ranker, which track the earnings of public figures, IU's estimated net worth sits around $40-45 million, making her the richest K-pop idol in the world. She built her empire on music first, saying no to flashy overseas offers. Alongside her singing career, she's also made her name in acting, headlining hits like Hotel Del Luna and When Life Gives You Tangerines. IU holds multiple songwriting and producing credits, not just for her own tracks but for others too. She's the face of major luxury names like Estée Lauder and Gucci, while also backing homegrown brands like Woori Financial Group, Evezary, Black Yak, and more. On the tech front, she's inked deals with Samsung Korea, Sony, and SK Telecom. Also Read: Not Jungkook or V, this BTS star alone powered HYBE's 85% North American revenue boost in Q1 2025 Born in 1993 in Songjeong Dong, Seoul, IU grew up poor. When her parents struggled to pay off debt and couldn't afford to raise their kids, IU and her younger brother were sent to live with their grandmother in a small, cramped home. That's where she spent most of her childhood, and it's also where she discovered her voice and knew early on what she wanted to do. As a teen, she ran after every audition she could find, only to be turned down over and over. In a YouTube video, IU once said they barely had anything to eat. They lived in a freezing, cockroach-infested room, and her grandma would sell hair clips in the market just to bring some money home. IU recalled sleeping in studios just so she could get a proper meal. She's also spoken about struggling with an eating disorder while growing up. 'Because I was so stressed, even the smallest thing would actually make my skin crawl. I was really unhappy. Once I started disliking myself, there was no end to that. I kept digging deeper and deeper into a hole of self-pity. I was so lethargic and felt like I only had two choices, sleep or eat. So whenever I wasn't sleeping, I was binge eating,' she told SBS. Also Read: Park Bo Gum shocks IU with harsh beauty confession, admits to starving himself for clear skin: 'I skipped meals' While growing up, IU's own relatives used to mock her, saying she'd never make it as a singer. But instead of backing down, it only made her hungrier to prove them wrong. She auditioned for over 20 agencies and got rejected by every single one, including JYP Entertainment. JYP, one of the biggest K-pop labels, led by Park Jin Young, has since publicly admitted that they regret letting her go. What stung more than rejection, though, were the scams, fake entertainment companies promising her a role on TV and then vanishing, stealing money from a kid who was already scraping by. At 15, she finally signed with Loen Entertainment (now Kakao M) and debuted with the song 'Lost Child'. But her debut didn't exactly get a warm welcome. The track, a mature, melancholic ballad, was way ahead of time and different from the bubbly, soft concepts people expected from young female idols at the time. During her first public performance, people in the audience booed her, shouting for her to get off the stage. The album flopped. But IU kept climbing, slow and steady, until songs like 'Boo' and 'Marshmallow' finally started getting attention. In 2010, she got her first real breakthrough with the release of 'Good Day'. The song, still iconic for its three-step high note, became a massive hit across the country. That's when IU earned the nickname 'Nation's Little Sister'. The success and money that came with it helped her pay off all her family's debts, a huge personal and emotional milestone for her. But despite finally making it, she never got the chance to finish her studies. 'College entrance is for those who worked hard for it. I won't even have time to actually have a college life, so I will not be pursuing a college education,' she said in an interview. By 2011, she was unstoppable, dropping hits like 'The Red Shoes,' 'My Old Story,' 'Friday,' and 'Last Fantasy,' all topping charts in Korea and even landing on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100. In 2015, IU took full control of her music with the album Chat-Shire, and by 2020, she was running the game. But her second biggest setback hit when her close friend Sulli (former f(x) member) died in October, reportedly taking her own life. IU delayed her album release. Just days later, another friend, Goo Hara of KARA, also passed away. IU was mid-performance when she got the news. She had already lost SHINee's Jonghyun in 2017. Fans feared she'd spiral. But after taking time, she made a strong comeback. First with a song for Crash Landing on You, and that May, she dropped 'Eight,' produced by and featuring BTS' SUGA. In 2021, her track 'Celebrity' became a TikTok sensation, and skyrocketed IU to global fame. With her talent, clean image, and philanthropic work, IU is now one of the most respected singer-songwriters in the business.
