Why does the reaction happen itself when K > 1(K is equiribium constant)

It's kinetics. The reaction is favored. 


Keq=[H][A]/[HA]   
if Keq>1 [H][A] is favored and [HA] is decreasing.

Sometimes this means it favors the products and sometimes it favors the reactants. Depends on what K is measuring.
