Bae Gyeon Woo Finds Out Park Seong A Is a Shaman

The Korean drama Head Over Heels has once again delivered an unexpected twist. This time, a major secret is revealed—Park Seong A (played by Cho Yi Hyun) is actually a shaman. Bae Gyeon Woo (Choo Young Woo), who had grown close to Seong A, finds out the truth about her hidden identity.

This revelation marks a turning point in their relationship. Feeling betrayed, Gyeon Woo distances himself and even throws away items gifted by Seong A, signaling the breakdown of their friendship. Here’s the full timeline of how Bae Gyeon Woo discovered Park Seong A’s true identity.

1. It Starts with an Archery Team Initiation Task

The story begins when Bae Gyeon Woo is given a task by his archery coach as part of the initiation process to join the team. The task? To visit a haunted house as a form of endurance test.

2. Park Seong A’s Cleansing Ritual at the Same Time

Coincidentally, Park Seong A is scheduled to perform a spiritual cleansing at the same haunted house. As a young shaman who keeps her identity secret, she arrives at the location to carry out her usual ritual.

3. Unexpected Encounter with Yeom Hwa

Upon arriving, Seong A meets Yeom Hwa (Cha Ji Hyun). During their meeting, Yeom Hwa removes Seong A’s face covering, creating a tense and mysterious moment.

4. A Misunderstanding: Seong A Thinks Yeom Hwa Is Sent by Her Aunt

Due to a misunderstanding, Seong A believes Yeom Hwa is a fellow shaman sent by her aunt to help her with the ritual. Trusting this assumption, she agrees to work with her.

5. Joint Ritual Outside the Building

The misunderstanding leads to Seong A and Yeom Hwa performing a cleansing ritual together outside the building—at a location visible to others.

6. Gyeon Woo Witnesses the Ritual

Bae Gyeon Woo unexpectedly arrives at the scene while the ritual is ongoing. Shocked, he freezes in place as he sees Seong A performing a shamanic ceremony with Yeom Hwa.

7. Gyeon Woo Leaves in Shock

Still stunned, Gyeon Woo quickly runs away from the scene, unable to process what he has just seen.

8. Seong A Tries to Explain—But Fails

Realizing Gyeon Woo saw everything, Seong A rushes to catch up with him and tries to explain the situation. She apologizes and pleads for understanding. Unfortunately, Gyeon Woo is too hurt to listen and continues to distance himself.

Layers of Gyeon Woo’s Disappointment

Gyeon Woo’s anger is multi-layered. First, he feels betrayed by Seong A for not telling the truth about her being a shaman. Second, his pain deepens upon seeing her in close company with Yeom Hwa—the same shaman his family relied on but who always blamed him for bringing bad luck since childhood.

Will Their Relationship Recover?

With this powerful emotional fallout, Head Over Heels keeps viewers on edge. Can Gyeon Woo and Seong A mend their broken trust? Or will this secret forever drive a wedge between them?
