Story and Plot
Inspired by Ahn Su‑min’s popular webtoon Gyeonwoo and the Fairy, the story is about Park Sung-A (Cho Yi-Hyun), a high school student, transforms into Fairy Cheonji, a shaman at night. She partially hides her identity by covering her face when working as a shaman. She is well-known as Fairy Cheonji and spends a lot of time assisting her clients who come to her with questions about their health, future, and other matters.
Fairy Cheonji is visited one evening by Bae Gyeon-Woo (Choo Young-Woo) and his mother. Although Park Sung-A initially has a crush on him, she realizes that he will soon pass away. The following day, she is confronted by Bae Gyeon-Woo, a recent transfer student in her class. She makes the decision to spare him from his fate.

The most beautiful thing about #headoverheels (2025) is that there is so much love behind the drama bc there are so many acts of kindness in each ep. this is a story about people who have been broken and hurt finding solace and comfort in each other and eventually becoming family.
From Twitter:
Seriously, people who haven’t watched this are really missing out. the story are getting better. gyeonu’s spiritual eye opens (he can see seonga wings) and his spirit gets trapped in the mirror world & evil spirits take over. the plot is crazy.
