In Head Over Heels Episode 11, delivered another round of heartbreak, mystery, and quiet chaos. It didn’t scream for attention—it just hit you slowly, scene by scene, in that eerie way this drama always has. Everything is getting heavier now. And messier. But also, weirdly soft in certain moments.
It starts with Bong-su, still inside Gyeon-u’s body, realizing he might’ve made a terrible mistake. He hears Seong-ah crying. Her godmother passed away. What he didn’t know was that the Grim Reaper took her life, not Yeom-hwa. The godmother had been shielding Yeom-hwa, and by trying to attack her, Bong-su indirectly caused her death.
He runs from the shrine. And then Gyeon-u wakes up, but not in real time—in a memory. A young soldier is pointing a gun at him. The boy asks, “Are you a good person?” And then, a gunshot. That moment hangs there. No clear answer.
Meanwhile, Yeom-hwa tells everyone that Bong-su is no longer a mere spirit. She says he’s now an evil deity, and killing the godmother was his 100th soul. Seong-ah snaps. She blames Yeom-hwa. She screams at her. But at the same time, she promises to protect her, too. It’s messy. Raw. That’s one thing this show does right—it lets people be angry and kind at the same time. Now comes a strange shift.
Gyeon-u wakes up again. He’s with Seong-ah. She takes him on a picnic. It’s calm. Too calm. He’s smiling. She’s smiling. He asks where Bong-su is. She says he’s gone. She doesn’t tell him how. During the picnic, she confesses that he was her first love. Also, her first kiss. She kisses him gently. She’s crying while doing it. Then she throws salt. He faints. She promises to return during the graduation ceremony.
A Promise & A Loss
Gyeon-u wakes up alone. Bong-su walks out of his body and disappears. Time jumps. Ji-ho narrates. They’re now in 12th grade. Gyeon-u keeps winning archery competitions. But Seong-ah is gone. He visits Hui-na in the hospital. They talk. It feels like closure for them both. There’s a silent peace in that scene.
Graduation day comes. Ji-ho looks upset. He says Seong-ah wanted to attend this day. Gyeon-u takes a photo with him. There’s a clear empty space between them. The camera doesn’t try to hide it. Everyone remembers.
Not really. Yeom-hwa says she had done a unification spell between her and Gyeon-u. If Seong-ah dies, she will appear in his dreams wearing white. She hasn’t appeared yet.
Gyeon-u refuses to believe she’s gone. He prepares to find her. He picks up his spiritual bow and arrow. Gyeon-u meets the flower master. He receives an amulet that can help him fight ghosts. Yeom-hwa helps him too—but secretly lies. She knows that if Seong-ah returns, she’ll have to die. Bong-su is still inside her, and he won’t leave willingly.
A Secret Plan
Gyeon-u finds a vengeful ghost. It says he should search for a faceless ghost. They serve evil deities. He spends days hunting them. Arrow in hand. Asking questions. But no real answers come. Finally, one faceless ghost tells him something urgent. But before he finishes, Yeom-hwa appears. She claims the ghost now serves her. She wants to hear the message instead.
In the forest, Seong-ah is praying for a soul to be reborn. Gyeon-u is trying to find her in the mountain forest. A fight breaks out between him and the faceless ghosts. But just before he reaches her, Yeom-hwa steps in.
She tells Seong-ah she shouldn’t waste time saving a spirit that’s eaten 100 souls. She wants her to die and face the King of Hell. Bong-su steps out of Seong-ah’s body and threatens her. Yeom-hwa lifts her hammer. But Gyeon-u rushes in and shoots arrows. He tells Seong-ah to run.
Yeom-hwa yells. She says Seong-ah’s return would only mean Gyeon-u’s death. Again, the show puts morality on a curve. It’s not good vs bad. It’s just a mess of choices.
The story flashes forward again. Gyeon-u joins the Olympics. He’s on TV. Ji-ho watches him quietly. But then, he hears the old blind shaman has died. That news breaks something inside him. He starts having dreams. Not his dreams. They feel like Seong-ah’s. He sees the school lobby. A motto on the wall. A chalk drawing.
Inside the Dream
He’s sure it’s her dream. We see Seong-ah and Bong-su talking in that dream. Bong-su wants her to visit Gyeon-u through dreams. She refuses. She doesn’t want to hurt him. But she can feel him nearby. She sits in her chair. He sits in his. She draws again on the board.
That drawing leads Gyeon-u to a house. It’s the flower master’s house. He senses Seong-ah’s presence. Bong-su, still inside Seong-ah’s body, hides in a cabinet. But he can’t resist. He attacks Gyeon-u. Kicks him. Runs. Gyeon-u chases him. They stop. Bong-su kisses him.
But something strange happens. Bong-su thought kissing Gyeon-u would bring Seong-ah out. But she doesn’t come. He curses Gyeon-u. Says, “I am not Seong-ah.” That was the final blow.
What Now? Fear, Fan Theories, and Finale Dread
Now, fans are nervous. This show never took the easy route. It was always different—part horror, part love story, part school drama. No one knows what’s coming next. But the way this episode ended, it’s clear someone might not survive.
And many viewers agree—if someone has to go, why not Yeom-hwa? After all her lies and manipulation, it doesn’t feel right that she still walks free. The next day is the finale. Everyone’s waiting. But not with excitement. With worry. And maybe a little bit of hope. Let’s just hope the final episode doesn’t betray all the emotional work this story has built so far. Because right now, nothing feels safe anymore.
