Yeah, that’s not your typical meet-cute, and that’s exactly what makes the new poster for Head Over Heels so spine-tinglingly good.
If you’re a K-drama fan (like me), you already know posters aren’t just posters. They’re a whole mood. And this one? It’s screaming romance, supernatural drama, and major emotional damage ahead. Let’s talk about it.
“Why Is He Upside Down?!”
So here’s the tea: the newly released poster shows Choo Young Woo, yes, the heartthrob from School 2021, walking into a shaman’s temple… upside down.
Not tripping. Not floating. Just full-on gravity-defying upside down.
Creepy? Kinda. Symbolic? Absolutely.
In Korean shamanic traditions, appearing upside down = DEATH IS COMING.
I know. Dramaaaaa.
Enter: Cho Yi Hyun, High School Shaman Extraordinaire
Cho Yi Hyun plays Park Sung Ah, a teenage girl balancing school life, shaman duties, and now, saving her first love from dying. Casual stuff, right?
In the poster, she’s reaching out to Bae Gyeon Woo (Choo Young Woo) with this heart-wrenching look in her eyes. Meanwhile, he’s just… floating there like a tragic angel who doesn’t know he’s doomed.
If you’ve ever loved someone you couldn’t have, this hits different.
The Line That Stabs You in the Feels
Ready for the dagger? The poster reads:
“My first love appeared before me, destined to die.”
HELLO?? Can someone pass the tissues? Or a talisman?? Anything??
This tagline alone could win Best Supporting Actor. It’s giving cursed love, fated heartbreak, and 100% binge-worthy vibes.
Little Details, Big Feels
The visuals pack so much into one frame:
School uniform = She’s still just a kid.
Bell in hand = Shaman mode: activated.
Temple backdrop = We’re not in high school rom-com territory anymore.
It’s like Extraordinary You meets Hotel Del Luna, with a sprinkle of Goblin sadness. You feel me?
Old Chemistry, New Drama
Fans of School 2021, you’re in for a treat. Cho Yi Hyun and Choo Young Woo are back together, and their on-screen connection is electric. Except this time, the stakes are higher than a K-drama confession on a rooftop in the rain.
And let’s be real, we’re all suckers for second chances, especially when they come with tragic plot twists and ghostly surprises.
Mark the Date, And Prepare Your Heart
Head Over Heels is dropping on June 23, 2025, on tvN, and honestly, it’s already one of the most talked-about new Kdramas of 2025. Between the fantasy-romance setup, Cho Yi Hyun’s new drama buzz, and this absolutely iconic poster, it’s about to become that show everyone’s talking about.
One Last Thing…
If this poster alone had you spiraling, wait till the actual episodes hit.
Text your drama-watching crew. Set a reminder. Clear your schedule.
And whatever you do, don’t fall in love with a guy walking upside down.
Tag your friends. Let’s cry together in advance.
Because we all know Head Over Heels is about to wreck us, in the best way.
