9inwoo Aug 16 2022 6:25 am I love this drama, love all the cast and story, this drama is so good, love SooBi so much, hope to see na in woo and seohyun again in another drama <3

nottelasha Aug 12 2022 3:19 am I love the first half of the drama like how cute and fluffy it is, but as the episodes gone by, the drama gets too soapy and stuff.. that's why I quit watching it :)

Seoseo Aug 09 2022 10:16 pm I love all the main actors. the actor have been working really hard to portraying their character.. jinxed at first is good. gonna miss Soobi so much :)

Seoin Aug 09 2022 8:37 pm Jinxed at first was really good in the first half i really love it, even though the second half is a little disappointing, i'm still upset about the plot and the script :(, but i still watch and love Jinxed at First, because SooBi is cute if they're together, and all the actor have been working really hard to potraying the character.. i hope Seohyun and Na In Woo can meet again in another drama, their chemistry is really amazing tho, they are really good together, i love them so much.. i really really hope to see them together in another drama.. Seohyun and Na In Woo... ^^

RAnthony Aug 07 2022 2:33 am It was just okay. I really can't tell how the first and second leads are at acting with such a weak and silly script, even though Na In-Woo did well as a replacement in River Where the Moon Rises. I hope that they will get roles where they can shine and we can see the quality of their performances.

inwoo_fans Aug 05 2022 1:06 am Come back again to say it is still very interesting to see them together, especially with the people in the market, so funny. also last part in ep 16 . So good, interesting plot twist at the end.

inwoo_fans Aug 05 2022 12:53 am Seohyun and Inwoo chemistry is amaziing, they make a cute lover and are comfortable with each other. But why writernim makes them always apart? After happily together they make seulbi live in geumhwa for half of the drama, then make Sookwang work as the secretary with that rigid character (of course Na In Woo still can pull it with his charming side). Even in the last episode, they make Seulbi forget everything. What a waste of cast! I`d rather watch the behind the scenes. They are really good together. Na in woo, Seohyun fightiing!

Yesha Aug 04 2022 8:31 pm Na In Woo and Ki Do Hoon to the next level, I love their bromance <3 <3 <3

beenie Aug 04 2022 1:15 pm coming back just to tell that the last episode (eps. 16) was Good

Anonymous Aug 04 2022 11:50 am This drama was really great in the beginning. Halfway through is become a bit mediocre. And the end was so-so.

(WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD): I feel like the story would’ve gotten more interesting if min joon would’ve taken on the curse. It would’ve been better to see the flipside of things is the bloodline switched to males having the curse. And instead of the males or whoever taking on the curse going into a catatonic state, to show to what extent could they take the curse. Because in my opinion, the parts with min joon’s father was boring and i just skipped over those parts. Felt like those parts were dragging a bit. The show should’ve been more focused on min joon, seulbi, soo gwang and don shik in my opinion.

Yola Aug 04 2022 11:23 am Why... Oh why...

Tobby Aug 04 2022 10:26 am Thanks guys interesting plot I enjoyed every bit of it.... ? ?

Yellow Jul 31 2022 12:03 pm at first this drama is interesting and entertaining to watch but over time it becomes boring and it is not clear where the plot of the story will take. the story doesn't make sense, I know this is just a fictional drama. I'm really disappointing. I stopped watching on episode 10.

maeya Jul 31 2022 10:32 am the others are indeed right, first few episodes are adorable and is going for a really interesting plot.

but im getting so bored by other's acting especially that min joon guy ? another thing, some scenes are getting a little cliché and it's very cringy.

i feel bad about dropping it but if it's continuing to be like this, i might as well stop by now.

karen Jul 31 2022 7:49 am the try to salvage in latest episode but too late...the story makes no sense. i still can not understand what is going on.

beenie Jul 29 2022 6:17 am what is happening with the plot??? the first half was fun and entertaining, but the rest of it was a let downn with poor plot or writing, i dont even know whats going on with this drama. its a shame they ruining this two lead together

Rach Mann Jul 27 2022 9:40 am It was a let down for me when Soo Kwang attributed her having powers to his mother's death.

Meow Jul 27 2022 3:09 am Go Gun and Hae Mo-Yong from Rivers where the moon rises appears as comeo ㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱㄱ seulbi is so cute ❤️❤️? can't wait for tonight episode!!

jeon jake Jul 24 2022 9:15 am this kdrama is my new jam this is good to watch and the main cast have good chemistry and the story is so good i cannot wait for another ep

Emmm just so so Jul 23 2022 6:19 am First 6 eps was fun but the rest are just dragging and i don't even know what the point of this drama...

Okurt Jul 20 2022 11:51 pm I really liked when they both were working at the market. It was cute and funny. I really thought seul bi was going to make money by reading people’s fortune. Wouldve been better if they kept it like that…then min joon father found out he’s the real father and decides to be on soo gwang’s side to get revenge while letting seul bi stay at the market with him…that’s what i was hoping for but it turned dark lol

wede Jul 20 2022 9:00 pm agree with all the comments here... the first 4-6 episodes were cute and magical, with the story of Seulbi and the market folks, but now it has become a truly incomprehensible mess since the story shifted to Geumhwa group - I don't understand what story is being told anymore. Plus the actors playing Min Joon, his dad, his cousin are all not doing a good job imo - something i imagined to be out of a weekday drama

keytihsi Jul 20 2022 12:25 pm first few episodes are nice and interesting but suddenly the latest episodes gets boring.. the plot is going nowhere with poor character development.

Papanyagio Jul 20 2022 8:54 am Suddenly i lost my interest to this drama. Its geting boring and awkward.

karen Jul 19 2022 7:50 am the drama is going downhill, inconsistent plots and no logic

Mistyter Jul 17 2022 3:44 pm Memory of the Wind - Xia Junsu

Lu Jul 15 2022 12:59 pm What happened after episode 7?? The drama was so cute, light and funny!! I was loving it! Now is so frustrating, all the sparkle is gone!!

Soobi Jul 15 2022 10:44 am Too bad the writer ruin the whole drama right after ep7!!! Focus only on villain & not follow the original webtoon is such a waste!!! And now the drma is like melo than romcom romance,,poor soobi chemistry they waste it!!!

MissA Jul 15 2022 4:57 am The actors are trying but the writing and directing of this series is very bad... inconsistencies, plot holes, bad acting ( cause of the poor writing I see the actors struggling)... Everything is poorly executed. Disappointing ?

discoball Jul 11 2022 7:47 am whats the song that plays at the end of every episode?

Faz Jul 09 2022 2:22 pm My fav drama so far for this year? grab the best couple end of this year uri soobi couple?

Mae Jul 02 2022 12:43 pm This is my Favorite ongoing drama! It’s so good

Seulbi Jul 02 2022 9:59 am Can anyone know what is the title of the song that always play in the end of episode? because i can't find it :((

Nana Jun 30 2022 5:51 pm Kyaaaa, finally my SooBi couple being official >,<

Their rain kisses so heart fluttering <3

zara Jun 30 2022 2:17 pm i think i have to congratulate choi jungwoo because i hate seon dongshik so much, thanks to his acting skill. he really did a great job, i guess

also, the chemistry between seohyun and na inwoo is super crazyyyyyyyy i cant wait for the next episode i cant wait next week to come i want to watch all episodes nowwww

Lorraine Bell Jun 30 2022 6:00 am Am I missing something? The plot synopsis says its been 7 years since they’ve last seen each other, but the drama continuously says its been 2 years since they were separated.

Rot Jun 29 2022 9:56 pm Am glued, powerful cast, of course I love Seohyun, but Ji Hye as MI Soo is captivating. Also I want to see more of Yuhwa, but it seems, the story can't accommodate it. If she can appear in the future, truly the casts of this drama are the best

Lee Jun 27 2022 9:55 pm This storyline is quite interesting and fun. I'm really quite impressed with Na In-woo's acting skills. Due to his height at 1.89m, tall actors may sometimes come across as looking too self-conscious & gawky, but he's a natural & his nice face is also natural. Looking forward to next episodes.

Un modeste admirateur Jun 26 2022 12:59 am “Jinxed at First” is absolute brilliance. I’m totally in love with it. It’s already an evergreen comedy and a timeless classic in my head. Let me give just one example of this drama’s extraordinary creativity : Seul-Bi, who has lived for 20 years in a cage, is finally out, eating twisted donuts at a food stand. She doesn’t have any social experience, and when other people gather at the same place, it’s an opportunity to show how her behaviour is obviously different from theirs. But here something completely unobvious happens. The clock rings 4 PM and precisely at the dot arrives a boy nicknamed Tick-tock. He is an autistic savant, who is always on time, thus his nickname. Seul-Bi engages a coherent conversation with him at the food stand, to the dismay of the bystanders. Wow ! I’m mind blown by this scene. Any ordinary comedy would be content with showing Seul-Bi as socially inept. But instead, “Jinxed at First” makes the effort to show that her quirkiness is the mark of savants, turning the cheap laughs into amazement.

Naya Jun 24 2022 8:48 am Love this drama aaaaaa cant wait to watch the next eps!!!

Erna Jun 24 2022 3:25 am I love this dramaaaaaaaa so much addicted <3

IDK Jun 23 2022 9:01 pm I love this drama soooooooo muchhhh

Lorn Jun 23 2022 8:23 pm This drama is so good I didn't know that Na In-Woo can perfectly fit this RomCom drama ? Y'all should watch this. never thought that Yunseo could do more beside that 'Vongole pasta one dish'. Congrats on your acting debut

Nna Jun 23 2022 3:40 pm Seohyun's acting is much improving! I enjoy this drama bcs of her unpredictable acting!1

Willy Jun 23 2022 1:10 pm Jang YunSeo Congrats on your debut! I wonder how familiar seeing your face.. Yup it's you Jang YunSeo from ygtb

Kakayahan Jun 23 2022 4:20 am I love this drama! Fighting!!!! ???

Meerah Jun 22 2022 12:28 am Am I the only one who thinks seo hyun look likes moon ga young.

Vie Jun 21 2022 8:44 am This plot story so amazing.. i totally ❤❤ it

Kdrama fanatic Jun 20 2022 8:09 pm It's a cute fantasy and a good vibe drama.. Na Inwoo is great

Z Jun 20 2022 12:08 pm I’ve been watching quite a few dramas, ofc I did come across Seohyun’s drama as well but I dont really get her vibe in acting. She feels so unimpactful, there are many actress than can fit this role better imo. She’s a great singer tho

Pangyo couple Jun 20 2022 6:16 am Interesting drama, witty and fresh. Seohyun's acting is so good and na in woo is amazing.

zephiney Jun 17 2022 9:15 pm my new comfort kdrama ackkkk??

Elss Jun 17 2022 3:43 am So Seul bi met him when she was 20. After 7 years they meet again. Then Seul bi is now 27. According to manhwa, the witches bear a girl child when they reach 25. So that does not apply to her or the drama has a different story from manhwa?

Ockanna Jun 17 2022 12:51 am The first 5 minutes I was feeling all nostalgic bc of the cameos. They are from River Where the Moon Rises.. OMG. Their bond with the director are awesome

Jamy Jun 16 2022 10:29 pm The comments about Seulbi not having a father is correct. According to the manhwa Jinx Lovers like Seulbi and her mother bear children when they are 25 years old without the help of any man. Their body just produce a child (only a girl) by themselves. Their child will then produce another offspring when they reach 25 and then generations of Jinx Lovers will be born.

mimi Jun 16 2022 9:07 pm apparently seulbi and her ancestors are deities/goddesses and they dont need a partner to create a child. so seulbi has no father (i've found this out from a screenshot from the webtoon author's FAQs)

Lea Jun 16 2022 3:10 pm I’m already loving this drama! Both leads play their characters well! Looking forward to the next episode!

vitz Jun 16 2022 8:00 am the historical intro is cinematic. But then the female lead isn't that charming enough to make me feel interested, and if she was trying to shoot a comedic scene, I wasn't even laughing.

As soon as 3 male characters entered the house, I lost all interest. Maybe too early to tell but.. this is definitely not my spice

Me Jun 16 2022 7:28 am They didnt tell who is father of seulbi

Elaine Jun 16 2022 6:52 am I am not expecting the back story behind Seulbi and the chairman's family history. It is creepy, dark and inhuman. For such a dark background, i am amazed they pulled off the romcom vibe quite magnificently. Perfect casting for Seohyun in Seulbi and Nainwoo's Gongchan. I think this is one of my most anticipated series this year i am looking forward to the following episodes.

Jamie Jun 16 2022 6:43 am Yeyyy!! Jinx is here! Wow this is soo good. If i may say this is the perfect romcom of 2022. Na in woo and seohyun are sooo good. Omg im soo happy for Na inwoo, he's landing great projects this year. Great job pd and casts! Will surely watch this til the end.

Sue Jun 15 2022 10:19 pm OMO! I usually don’t like storylines like that this but wow. This drama so far is very good! I’m shook!

Kdramawatcher Jun 15 2022 10:45 am Wow! So many alumn of River where the moon rises made cameo!!!! Since it has same PDnim. Hope this drama will be a lot of fun!!!!

Kdrama fanatic Jun 14 2022 10:56 pm Kiss sixth sense vibe?? It will be a lot of fun for sure

omowenirini May 28 2022 11:47 am So excited!! I think the two main characters have all extroverts, this will be funnn~♡

SERA May 25 2022 10:29 pm This drama is streaming on iqiyi on June 15, 2022

mahika May 16 2022 8:35 pm the story is cliche. but let's see if this will be different lol.

Nisnis May 02 2022 7:35 am Im looking forward to this drama, need some light and warm drama to watch

Sharon Mar 17 2022 10:18 am cant wait for this drama. it is confirm drama will air on 15th June by victory content! hoping drama will be available at netflix too.. please victory content! anyway cant wait to see lil seulbi beside giant sogwang! ? Seohyun jjang!!

Mei chee Mar 15 2022 8:06 pm Can't wait for this drama! Seohyun Seulbi fighting! Wait for June！

Givemethemoney Mar 04 2022 9:38 am I think a lot of people don't know seohyun and have not watched her other dramas, therefore do not know her versatility and skills when it comes to acting. And regarding to the character's age does it really matter, Seohyun for me looks a 20 year old moreover if you put her in a school uniform. Ya'll just talking about na in woo, I'm not mad at all I am a big fan of him but Seohyun also deserves the praise. Watch other of her works, you'll know what I'm talking about...

Phoebe Nov 09 2021 11:00 am seohyun fits the role of lee seulbi tbh. I am so excited for February

Kann Nov 08 2021 10:24 am Yess Seohyun for another project. I know 2022 is Seohyun year ❤️ Can't wait this drama to be broadcast ? 2 movie + 1 drama ?

Tay_SA Oct 14 2021 10:36 am So excited, can't wait for Na In Woo new upcomming drama series Jinx Lover!❤❤❤ I think a young playful actress for the role of Seulbi, but maybe we'll get to see a different side to Seohyun. I just hope their chemistry is compatible. I hope we'll get to watch Jinx Lover within in this year...

Maru Sep 06 2021 7:13 am I am currently reading the manhwa and the female actress that I have in mind to act as Seul Bi is Kim Yoojung or Jin Ji-Hee. I think a younger actress should act as Seul Bi because Seul Bi is playful and childish. Just my two cents. But if Seohyun can act as Seul Bi then why not?

Tea Aug 10 2021 10:30 am I don't thing the webtoon is that interesting for it to become a drama but whatever...I hope both Seohyun and Na In Woo can make it interesting.

fn Aug 09 2021 8:13 pm younger? seohyun has baby face, so why not with the chemistry. Inwoo? seohyun

Vic Aug 06 2021 4:56 am i hope someone younger than inwoo will be his co-star bcs in original story, soogwang and seulbi has considerable age gap.

but whoever she is, keep support the drama, actors/actresses and staffs

TheA Aug 01 2021 9:53 am Aniiiii seohyun, I want kim so hyun to be the lead female in upcoming drama the jinx lover ❤

Rin mio shipper Jul 06 2021 9:49 am Seohyuuunnn?

Secret May 21 2021 5:41 am Kim hye yoon would suit him well

Mazus May 18 2021 9:52 pm Moon ga young pls?

Pari May 17 2021 12:18 pm Jo Soo Min as the lead female role is it confirmed?

wew May 16 2021 6:00 pm @grrrr yeah you are correct.... this is an ordinary story. she just gonna hit the role if the story is joyfull and popular. but i dont know what other thinking thts just my opinion based on her roles before.

grrrr May 16 2021 5:59 pm IU is not suit bring this role..she is a star.. this story itself does not suit with her status. that my opinion.

MissA May 16 2021 10:56 am IU would be amazing as the female lead.

Lee Seohwa May 15 2021 4:38 am Nam Bora play as Lee Seulbi please!

wew May 07 2021 6:22 pm Jung Eugene gonna hit the role if she were cast as Lee Seul Bi...

Sandra May 07 2021 6:17 am Park min young as the lead cast pleaseeeeee

tykae May 06 2021 12:07 pm I'll read the webtoon or watch the k-drama since I like the story about Lee Seul-Bi

. May 06 2021 1:15 am Exciting! I've read the webtoon and it's really good. Can't wait for the complete cast <3
