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

Head Over Heels Season 2: After twelve emotionally packed episodes,Head Over Heels wrapped up its first season with a finale that felt both bittersweet and complete. From love that transcends death to long-awaited closure, the K-drama gave fans everything they hoped for and then some. But as the final scene fast-forwards to 2028, viewers are now wondering: was this really the end, or is there more to come?

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.


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.



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.


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...


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.
