In Episode 11 of Head Over Heels (2025), Seong-ah and Gyeon-woo linger between dreams, memories, and something far more dangerous. As their bond tightens across realms, a darker fate looms.
⚠️ Failed Exorcism and a Growing Curse
The episode begins with an attempted exorcism that fails miserably. The dark spirit overpowers the rite, and chaos erupts. This failure sets the tone: protection is weakening, and the curse is growing stronger.
😔 “I Just Wanted to Survive” – The Spirit’s Confession
One of the most emotionally complex spirits in the series so far breaks down in front of Seong-ah. “I’m a bad person,” they say, “but I just wanted to live.” It blurs the line between ghost and victim—between haunting and desperation.
🩸 Dongcheon Ascends – Birth of an Evil God
Dongcheon, the once-respected general, reaches 100 spiritual kills—becoming an evil deity. No longer is he just a threat to individuals; he’s now a force capable of altering fate itself.
💢 Yeomhwa’s Pain: “I Hate You… But I’ll Protect You”
Yeomhwa’s character continues to impress. She tells Seong-ah, “I hate you… but I’ll protect you.” The line is brutal and beautiful. Love and resentment coexist—a mother’s ghostly contradiction.
💏 Their First Kiss — And Then She Vanishes
After so many near-misses, Seong-ah and Gyeon-woo finally share their first kiss. It’s tender and surreal… and then, she disappears. The show lets the moment linger, bittersweet and sudden.
🎓 The Graduation She’ll Never Attend
In a heart-wrenching scene, the school holds a mock graduation photo with Seong-ah’s empty chair. Her friends smile through the grief, imagining she’s still beside them.
🏹 Hunting Faceless Ghosts with Arrows
Gyeon-woo trains himself in using spirit arrows — talisman-wrapped projectiles to fight ghosts. He learns that even faceless spirits will listen if you “give them a name.” This becomes a metaphor for grief and identity.
🌀 Is This Gyeon-woo’s Dream or Hers?
We’re thrust into a dreamworld. Gyeon-woo walks through Seong-ah’s memories, noticing warm desks, old sketches, and places only she knew. Is he in her dream—or is she alive inside his?
🎨 “I’ll Finish the Drawing” – Holding On Through Art
Seong-ah picks up a half-drawn seaside sketch and finishes it. The act is small but symbolic: she’s fighting to keep her identity, her voice, her existence—even if she’s fading from reality.
🔮 Teaser for Episode 12
Seong-ah’s soul is fading. Her guardian deity has left—and something far darker takes its place. Can love bring her back, or will the curse claim its final soul?
