GREEN FOREST MALE LEAD,
BEST FASHION SENSE,
SIMILAR POSTERS,
AMAZING CINEMATOGRAPHY,
BEAUTIFUL LEADS,
WONDERFUL ACTING SKILLS,
BEST STORYLINES.

1. Story traces back to past encounters of the leads.
2.Wholesome, passionate, swoon-worthy development of love story.

Both have the same vibes where MC's are both fighting ghost and involves shamans. Then there's also romance.

Ghost romantic comedy. The FL is a person who actually sees ghosts and she has the ability to act as the host body of the ghosts too. One day, a very interesting ghost enters her body and she changes her life completely.

Way better Shaman centered story. More clever, more emotionally moving, with funny moments! Actors range is far more compelling than the perpetually serious faced FL in Haunted Palace. The ache from misfortune made me cry in Head Over Heels vs. this drama where it felt more like getting through a standard horror movie of'oh yeah, here comes the monster but i will go in anywa"

Both:
- hit some of the same emotional notes.
- have characters who feel relatable and go through real growth, especially in the face of tough decisions and hidden feelings.
- with spirits and shaman powers,
- have the same mix of tension, heart, and youthful energy.
- the chemistry between the leads totally works
Sad that the episodes of The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim are way shorter.

Head Over Heels’ reunites Cho Yi Hyun and Choo Young Woo after their memorable pairing in ‘School 2021’. Just like ‘School 2021’, this drama also explores youth, dreams, and emotional growth, but with a more mature and refreshing twist. Fans who loved their chemistry back then will definitely enjoy seeing them together again in a new setting and deeper storyline.

Both have the gloomy dark clouded ml who always says “go away”
And the clingy bright girl who sees ghosts who won’t leave him and she must save him

In both head over heels and khemjira a beautiful shaman has to save the person she/ he loves from a death curse.

The male lead gets possessed by a spirit and so does the female lead in brave new world and both leads experience internal struggles and transformation after being overtaken (or influenced) by another spirit.

Both in head over heels and brave new world feature a powerful supernatural female presence (shaman & seductress) who disrupts the male lead’s life.

The romance in both dramas starts with conflict

Both male leads are emotionally distant and cold at first Gyeon-woo because of his dark fate, Se-gye because of his ruthless chaebol personality.

Similar kind of story but darker and scarier. But still enjoyable. Not in the rom com genre. But if you like the mystery and supernatural ghost and horror then you will like this. Revenant had good characters and definitely I was scared. But in a good way. I love a scary plot.

- High school setting
- Bubbly FL x Tsundere ML
- Supernatural happenings related to ghosts
- ML is uniquely affected by said supernatural happenings
- Both are lighthearted youth dramas

Both dramas involve ghosts that one of the leads can see and has a job relating to. Both MLs are loners with a terrible fate that means they are fated to die soon who find hope when the FL enters their lives.

Both dramas are set in high school and depict pure love stories. Both female leads are cheerful and full of life. In Extraordinary You, the female lead chases after the male lead and tries to help him.

The male characters in both series are very similar — quiet and introverted types.

The character Do Hwa, who is the female lead’s close friend in Extraordinary You, is very similar to Ji Ho in this drama. Both of them are very close friends with the female lead, always support her no matter what, and are also very close to the male lead.

They become a close trio, just like Seong Ah, Ji Ho, and Gyeong U in this series.

If you like it Head over Heels you definitely love Extraordinary You??
