If you like stories full of fantasy with very good good guys, even naive ones with a fairy tale ending and some bad guys who receive their punishment at the hands of the police, then this is a good option. I think it can even be seen with children, but not very young, because in the final episode there are some violent scenes. I don’t know if anyone around here saw the drama.”Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter» of 2018, well «Jinxed at First» has a very similar fantasy air, but with fantastic beings that are misunderstood in this material world and are exploited to satisfy the ambition of a few.

Unfortunately, he has a reputation for being incredibly unlucky, and as a result, people try to avoid him at all costs. With no one willing to approach him, his business often suffers.

The reunion with Seul Bi causes love to be reborn with more force, but there is still more pain waiting for them. The end is together and happy with baby and everything! The bad guys have gotten what they deserved for allowing themselves to be controlled by ambition. The friends hug the protagonists and it seems that life has restarted with many blessings for those who have acted correctly. There are some special effects scenes, but nothing really amazing, although entertaining. The story lacks originality or great gripping twists. It is pure and total entertainment with a lot of fantasy, especially in the second part of the drama. You can switch off your brain and let yourself go 😀 😀 😀 My rating is because this type of almost childish stories are not my thing, not because I consider it bad or unbearable, I leave those qualifications for other genres that I don’t even get close to!!
My Rating 7.5
The cast complies, but it’s not even that there is a beautiful wardrobe, dazzling sets, it’s almost as if they had done this to pass the time. By telling them that I like the character of Na In Woo in “cleaning-up» and that there his role is shorter!! As to Ki Do Hoon, it seems to me that his work was wasted, but the boy still needs more acting skills to not look so cold, when his character is going through emotional situations. “Jinxed at First” is in the direction of the PD yoon sang ho («King Maker: The Change of Destiny«, 2020 and «River where the Moon Rises«, 2021). The script belongs to the writer Jang Yoon Mi who has written the scripts for the films «Luck Key», 2016; «Cheer Up Mr. Lee«, 2019 and took over the scripts for the next OCN drama «Island» in both seasons.
