Head Over Heels – K-drama Episode 11 Recap & Review
Episode 11 Episode 11 of Head Over Heels begins with Sung-ah's spirit mother's death and Bong-su realizing what he'd done, but unable to stop himself because he wanted to survive. This leads to Yeom-hwa attempting to take her own life while going after Bong-su, who had escaped. However, Sung-ah holds her back, vowing to protect her since their spirit mother had died to save Yeom-hwa. They restrain Yeom-hwa to keep her from chasing after them. The scene cuts to what seems like Bong-su impersonating Gyeon-woo and going on a date with Sung-ah, during which he tells her he can no longer feel Bong-su. As they enjoy their time together, Sung-ah kisses him and lightly throws salt on him, silently crying. Gyeon-woo later wakes up to find Sung-ah gone and searches for her. Elsewhere, Yeom-hwa reveals that Bong-su is now an evil deity, having taken his 100th victim with the death of their spirit mother. Months pass with no sign of Sung-ah. Gyeon-woo keeps himself occupied with archery, winning medal after medal, but eventually grows weary. Still, Sung-ah doesn't return. When Gyeon-woo's old friend, the one who caused him so much suffering, is discharged from the hospital, Gyeon-woo visits her. It's revealed that she was the one who caused the fire and had also been Gyeon-woo's first friend, which is why he couldn't bring himself to abandon her. She's now ready to resume archery, and the two part ways on good terms. On graduation day, despite Sung-ah's promise that she'd return for the party, Ji-ho and Gyeon-woo celebrate without her. Still wondering what happened, Gyeon-woo visits Sung-ah's house, where he meets Yeom-hwa. She tells him that Sung-ah isn't dead—if she were, she would've appeared in both their dreams in white to say goodbye, since they were bound by the unifying spell. She gives Gyeon-woo a way to find her. Determined, Gyeon-woo takes amulets from Sung-ah's family friend, the amulet maker, and starts capturing faceless ghosts, intending to make one his servant to search for Sung-ah. What he doesn't know is that Yeom-hwa has been manipulating him—she plans to kill Sung-ah once she finds her, believing it's the only way to exorcise the evil deity inside her. Eventually, one of the faceless ghosts leads Gyeon-woo to Sung-ah. Yeom-hwa, having spied on him, also finds her location. They both arrive at a mountain clearing where Sung-ah is seen consoling 100 spirits. Gyeon-woo helps her escape from Yeom-hwa. Years pass. Gyeon-woo becomes a star archer, but both he and Ji-ho deeply miss Sung-ah. Ji-ho moves in with Gyeon-woo at his grandmother's house. There, Gyeon-woo learns about the death of Sung-ah's spirit aunt and receives back the human amulet she made for him. Later, he tells Yeom-hwa there's something he's been hiding: he often dreams of a high school classmate, but everything in the dream feels off—like it's Sung-ah's dream, not his. But, he can't find her in it. After he wakes up, we discover that it was Sung-ah's dream, and Gyeon-woo has access to it. However, Sung-ah hides in a cabinet with Bong-su, not wanting to be found for fear of hurting him. Gyeon-woo then remembers the drawing in the old classroom from Sung-ah's dream and realizes it resembles the home of the amulet maker, Sung-ah's family friend. The episode ends with Bong-su, in Sung-ah's body, meeting the amulet maker. Gyeon-woo arrives to speak with him about his dreams, only to meet 'Sung-ah.' She kisses him—but only to find it's Bong-su as the episode ends. The Episode Review This has been quite a dense episode where a lot happens. There are definitely moments of fun and charm that one would expect from a romcom, sprinkled with the spiritual twist of shamanism that this drama embraces (albeit in a stylized way to suit global audiences). The only persistent challenge with Head Over Heels is its tonal inconsistency. From a distance, it feels like the show has been divided into three phases, all with abrupt tonal shifts and underwhelming plot twists. Staying true to the romcom genre, Bong-su never truly feels 'evil,' even after becoming a so-called evil deity. That undercuts the weight of many serious plot developments. Similarly, Yeom-hwa's character shift lacks a natural emotional progression. Her change feels sudden and unearned, which makes her arc jarring to watch. That said, the show still manages to keep us hooked. It thrives on its complex web of twists and turns—messy, yes, but sometimes enjoyably so. The drama's strength lies in its chaotic charm and emotionally-driven stakes, even if the plot direction and character development often leave much to be desired.

Head Over Heels – K-drama Episode 10 Recap & Review
Epsiode 10 Episode 10 of Head Over Heels begins with Sung-ah's realisation that it's Bong-su in Gyeon-woo's body. Bong-su eventually tells Sung-ah's spirit mother how Yeom-hwa had helped him and how he'd manipulated Gyeon-woo into helping with the suicide ghost case. Sung-ah is devastated, but her spirit mother tells her to be kind to Bong-su and console his spirit and his need to be loved. This is also when they find that Yeom-hwa has left and is plotting something. Sung-ah decides to be kind towards Bong-su, so he takes advantage of it, happy that she's accepted him. From the next day onwards, Bong-su becomes a sensation at school, making a lot of friends and constantly being surrounded by people. However, seeing him, Sung-ah becomes sadder and misses Gyeon-woo even more. This continues until she remembers the hour of the ox, which she'd forgotten in the commotion, a time of the ghosts. And since Gyeon-woo is now a ghost, she wakes him up that night. Gyeon-woo tells her about seeing two teenage soldiers in his dream. She encourages him to befriend them, wanting to know more about Bong-su's past and a way they could help his soul cross over. Gyeon-woo tries to approach the soldiers but soon realises it's going to take a while, especially when they begin shooting at him. From the next day onwards, Bong-su is having a blast in his new life. He tries to do things Gyeon-woo had been good at, like archery, makes a lot of friends, and just wants to be able to live. This information soon reaches Yeom-hwa, who's been preparing for a ritual at the previously haunted house. She meets Bong-su and tells him how Sung-ah wants Gyeon-woo back, and to test her if he doesn't believe it. So that night, Bong-su uses an amulet that Yeom-hwa had stolen to suppress Gyeon-woo from coming back at the hour of the ox. So, when Sung-ah wakes him, it's not Gyeon-woo but Bong-su, and he ends up listening to Sung-ah wanting to help him crossover. He reveals himself, hurt over her true feelings surfacing. The next day, he shows Sung-ah and Ji-ho the place where his friend's memorial stone is. We find that his friend had asked Bong-su to give his ring to his mother when he was dying, but Bong-su had been killed before he could. This is why he became a ghost, with unresolved feelings. He buries the ring there, and they leave. From that point on, he stops cooperating with everyone, including Sung-ah. Watching Bong-su take control, Ji-ho approaches Yeom-hwa, asking her to help him get Gyeon-woo back since he'd seen her with Gyeon-woo before. Yeom-hwa asks him to get Bong-su's ring, which he does, only to realise she hadn't wanted to help him. Earlier, Yeom-hwa had tried to evoke the grim reaper, but Sung-ah's spirit mother had found out and stripped her of her shamanic powers. However, using the ring, Yeom-hwa begins a ritual to summon the grim reaper to take Bong-su, and with him, Gyeon-woo to the underworld. Sung-ah and her family begin their emergency operations and contain Bong-su in her room while Sung-ah is to perform a fake ritual at the burial site where the ring had been, to confuse the grim reaper. Just when everything had been going as planned, Bong-su, overcome with anger and alone in the room, counter-curses Yeom-hwa using Sung-ah's book of spells that he'd once read. Yeom-hwa feels the curse and the grim reaper approaching but surprisingly, nothing happens. This is when she realises that the handkerchief Sung-ah's spirit mother had sent her was a human amulet, for her. The episode ends with the grim reaper taking Sung-ah's spirit mother's soul, as she dies with everybody, including Yeom-hwa, weeping over the scene. The Episode Review With Episode 10, it's quite clear that Head Over Heels' script is nothing but a moth-eaten piece of paper. The plot is a chaotic mess, more than you'd make making a salsa dip for the first time, and at least that's worth something. The story is all over the place, with such glaring loopholes that we can't help but feel the sheer insincerity with which the script has been written. Take for instance the fact that human amulets are supposed to work only when the one being protected has faith, affection, or a good relationship with the protector. Just like how Sung-ah's amulet was useless when her relationship with Gyeon-woo turned sour. But in Yeom-hwa's case, the human amulet works even when her relationship with her spirit mother is bitter? In an attempt to portray an emotional episode before the conclusion of the series next week, the show has forgotten its own rules. As of now, with so many glaring issues with this K-drama, it's quite a disappointing watch. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
