Not sure of the genre, but it's an ok show

While I kinda loved most of the series, it seemed like it wasn’t sure what it wanted to be. At times it was a bit fantastical, at times it made me laugh out loud. Sometimes it was action packed, but other times, it was dark…almost to the extent of a psychological thriller. Sometimes it was just silly, or didn't even make sense, but I went with it anyway.

Jinxed at First is a drama about a female "shamen" (prophesier/oracle) who escapes into the world after being locked in an opulent 'prison' for the first 20 years of her life. With the help of Gong Soo Gwang, Seon Min Joon, and the store owners of an entire marketplace, Seul Bi learns what it's like to have friendship, family, and love. Getting to that point, however, involved corporate conspiracy, family drama, murder, intrigue, and everything in between.

KingLTC (Reviewer from Aug 4, 2022) had it right when they said that Seul Bi’s character was played exactly as it should have been, given that the girl had been sheltered from the world and didn’t have the chance to mature or learn to be an adult in the real world. But there was character growth, or at least evolution, within all the characters, including Seul Bi. All of the characters were played by talented actors. I think I enjoyed Choi Jung Woo (Dong Shik), Ki Do Hoon (Seon Min Joon), and Kim Dong Young (Wang Yoon Ho) the most. I am very interested in seeing what else those actors have to offer in other shows.
