If themes of manipulating time and fate for the matters of the heart excite you, these are the shows to watch…

One of the highly anticipated new K-drama releases of this month, Head Over Heels, is finally here, and we cannot get enough. The ongoing K-drama has everything from romance to fantasy to fateful interventions.
In the show, Cho Yi-hyun stars as high school student Seong-ha who moonlights as a successful shaman.
Seong-ha can see the future, and she makes a living telling people their fates under her secret identity. During one of her shaman sessions, she meets her crush, Bae Gyeon-woo and his grandmother, and she sees that he is fated to die tragically soon. When she discovers that Bae Gyeon-woo is a new student in her school, she decides to do everything she can to change his fate and save his life.
Over the years, there have been many K-dramas where the core theme was about changing fate to stop a tragedy from occurring. From the delightful revenge romance drama Marry My Husband to the intriguing Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny, these K-dramas can help tide you over until the next episode of Head Over Heels drops…
This critically acclaimed drama is based on the popular web novel Tomorrow’s Best and was one of the best K-dramas of 2024. It follows Im Sol, who has been a fan of idol Ryu Sun-jae since his songs gave her solace to cope with the accident that left her disabled. When the idol gets into a fatal accident, fate sends Im Sol back 15 years into the past, giving her a chance to rewrite both destinies.
