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??
