Webtoon inspired K-drama Head Over Heels weaves romance and prophecy, with Cho Yi-hyun and Choo Young-woo at the heart
Set to premiere on June 23, 2025, Head Over Heels is an upcoming South Korean fantasy-romance drama that offers more than just a love story, it's a tale of fate, sacrifice, and second chances.
Based on the popular webtoon by Ahn Su-min, the series reimagines first love through the lens of supernatural forces and emotional stakes.
From webtoon to the screen: A story of love, fate, and sacrifice
The drama follows Park Seong-ah, a young woman born into a lineage of shamans, played by Cho Yi-hyun. 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.
[첫 만남 티저] 위험(?)할 정도로 잘생긴 추영우에게 한눈에 반해버린 조이현👀💗 운명도 뒤바꿀 첫사랑이 시작됐다! #견우와선녀 EP.0
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.

This revelation comes just days after Venkat's daughter Sravanthi told One India that someone claiming to be from Prabhas' team had called with an offer of support. 'Daddy isn't well at all. He is very serious and in the ICU. He needs a kidney transplant. It will cost us at least Rs 50 lakh. Prabhas' assistant called us and offered financial assistance. They asked us to inform them when his transplant happens to cover the cost,' she had said. Fake alert!

This actress known for her glamorous role, was murdered at 24, her body was discovered after..., her name was...
Before the age of 25, she had everything — beauty, fame, talent, and over 30 films to her name. Rani Padmini, a celebrated Tamil and Malayalam actress, was more than just a starlet. A trained Bharatanatyam dancer with a powerful screen presence, she was once touted as the next big name in Southern cinema. Born in 1962 in Kerala, Rani fulfilled the dream her mother, Indira Kumari, once had — to be a film actress. In the early '80s, she stormed the silver screen, sharing frames with top actors and delivering back-to-back hits. Living the dream… Until it became a nightmare By her early 20s, Rani Padmini was living a life many could only imagine. She drove a Nissan, lived in a posh rented bungalow in Chennai's Anna Nagar, and was on the verge of purchasing it. She was also among the highest-paid young actresses of the time. She and her mother were brutally murdered — not by strangers, but by their own three house staff members, all of whom had criminal records. The killers stabbed Rani 12 times and her mother 14 times. Their bodies lay undiscovered in the bathroom for four days. When stardom meets vulnerability The news sent shockwaves across the country. How could someone so young, so powerful in the public eye, fall prey to such horror in her own home? Her death became a tragic reminder that fame can't always protect you. In a pre-CCTV era, her murder case exposed the dangers of blind trust and the price women in power often pay. Though her career was brief, Rani Padmini remains etched in the minds of cinephiles — not just for her performances, but for the devastating way her story ended. A haunting legacy of what could've been — and what was cut short far too soon.
