But Seul Bi has never forgotten him, and when she runs away again, 2 years after their first meeting, she goes looking for him. And despite his hesitations, Myung Sung, who now goes by Gong Soo Kwang, doesn’t have the heart to turn her away. Seul Bi’s greatest wish is to just live a normal life and Myung Sung agrees to help her. But those who have relied on her powers to succeed in business won’t let go easily.
Should I Watch
“Jinxed at First” is a romantic comedy that gets progressively darker as the series goes on. The concept of a lucky shaman who foretells the future was interesting and showed a lot of potential in the beginning. But unfortunately the writing and plot development were kind of a mess. It was at once too heavy to be considered a sweet, light-hearted rom-com and too random and all over the place to be a good romantic drama. Of course, this drama does have some bright spots with a unique storyline and a large cast of familiar faces. I give “Jinxed at First” a 6 out of 10 ramen.
