I'm a complete sucker when it comes to anything that stars Yamazaki Kento which brought me to Jinx!!! Although my anticipation was high simply because of his presence, Jinx!!! did not let me down whatsoever. What completely reeled me into this movie was the chemistry between the characters — which is also the movie's strongest point. Kaede and Yusuke both are amateurs when it comes to romance as they boy are more geared towards action movies while Ji-Ho is more like the expert. While these characters are polar opposites, they grow with each other. The character development in all three of them is stunning and really captivates the audience into the movie. I also saw a lot of myself in Kaede and Yusuke (mostly Kaeda) which is also why I enjoyed the movie so much. While Jinx!!! did have hilarious moments, it did provide tearjerkers as the story progresses and as more of everyone's story gets told. You get a mixture of emotions out of this movie, but it isn't hitting you like a truck. The changes in atmosphere is subtle and you easily immerse yourself into the moment. Background music isn't something I usually remember, but it definitely added emphasis to those serious moments, the lovey-dovey moments, and the sad moments (you'll understand when you watch it). Overall, Jinx!!! was a warm-hearted movie which I feel anyone would like — especially if you're a sucker for romance and friendship as I am.
