Fans of the popular K-drama Head Over Heels were left disappointed after a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video revealed an intimate kiss scene between stars Cho Yi Hyun and Choo Young Woo that was cut from the final episode. The drama, which aired its finale on July 29, 2025, gained massive popularity for its mix of romance, fantasy, and Korean shamanism. However, the deleted scene has sparked strong reactions from viewers who felt they missed a key moment between the lead characters.
Deleted Kiss Scene Sparks Fan Outrage
A BTS video released by tvN showed a passionate kiss between Cho Yi Hyun (Park Seong Ah) and Choo Young Woo (Bae Gyeon Woo) filmed in a school classroom. Both actors were in their uniforms, and the scene appeared more intense than the version that aired. Fans quickly noticed the difference and expressed frustration online, feeling the original version had better chemistry.
“THIS IS THE KISS?? THE WAY THEY WERE SO INTO IT, THE HAND PLACEMENT AND HIS RED EARS IS SO INSANE OF THEM WE WERE ROBBED.”
“WE WERE PLAYED BY THE ANGLE AND CUTS!!! GYEONSEONG WERE SO INTO THE KISSING SCENE ON THE MAKING FILM.”
“The behind the scene is way much more intense than the one is aired OMFG HOW ABOUT MY SANITY ?!”
The exact reason for the edit remains unclear, but some speculate it may have been due to pacing or network guidelines. Despite the cut, the dramaโs finale achieved its highest ratings, peaking at 5.1% in Seoul.
Why Head Over Heels Became A Fan Favorite
Head Over Heels follows Park Seong Ah, a high school student who secretly works as a shaman known as Fairy Cheon Ji. Her life changes when she meets Bae Gyeon Woo, a boy cursed with bad luck and a looming death fate. Determined to save him, she uses her powers to rewrite his destiny while navigating school life and supernatural threats.
The chemistry between Cho Yi Hyun and Choo Young Woo was a major highlight, with their playful off-screen moments further fueling fan excitement. A viral BTS clip showed Choo Young Woo shirtless with red spell markings, while Cho Yi Hyun joked about his “legendary” visuals. Their natural bond translated well on-screen, making their characters’ romance deeply engaging.
Finale Delivers Emotional Ending Despite Missing Scene
The drama concluded with Seong Ah and Gyeon Woo overcoming supernatural obstacles to secure a happy ending. A heartfelt kiss in the finale reassured fans, but many still wished the deleted classroom scene had been included. The showโs unique blend of fantasy, romance, and Korean folklore earned praise, with viewership steadily rising each week.
While thereโs no confirmation of a Season 2, fans continue to hope for more content featuring the beloved duo. For now, Head Over Heels remains available for streaming on Prime Video, where viewers can revisit all the dramaโs twists, romance, and supernatural battles.
