I think for Jinxed at First they could have shortened it to about 12 episodes. The story and the characters are good but the pace could have definitely been much faster.

Watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Cafe Minamdang while I wait for the weekend and Alchemy of Souls.


I've also seen a few episodes of Jinxed at First, Doctor Lawyer, and Link (eat, love, die) but they sometimes feel a bit slow and draggy. So I haven't been keeping up with them consistency

What is everyone's favourite scene(s) from the show thus far?

Doom at Your Service was great!

Where everyone watching the show from? I'm here from Canada!

I feel like a drunk Jang Uk would just pull Mu Deok on the dance floor 😂

He's hilarious, especially when he's running behind Jang Uk cus he created chaos again 😂

I'm rewatching the episodes and some of the initial scenes between Jang Uk and Mu Deok are hilarious 😂 The scene where Mu Deok runs and takes off Jang Uk's outer layer clothes to see if the torrent energy is inside him is so funny! Jang Uk's like "This isn't why I brought you here!" 😂😂

He's slow witted, if anything Maidservant Kim will have to purpose to him 😜😂

It also only shows the most significant places in the show

Thanks! It's one of my favorite Jang Uk moments!

I honestly liked that episodes 9 and 10 were a bit slow paced. They threw a lot of information at us the first 8 episodes so it was good to get some relief. I don't even think of these as fillers, since they did a good job introducing new characters without confusing people.

I'm thinking that episode 11 will be all about Jang Uk making Mu Deok confess her feelings since she'll probably try to deny them initially. And episode 12 will have My Doek giving in and confessing. Also from the preview it looks like Seo Yul will back off from episode 12 when he realizes Mu Deok's and Jang Uk's feelings for each other - pretty sure Jang Uk won't hide his feelings from the others either.

Well we see that Jang Uk's swordmenship has significantly improved from the initial episodes and that has nothing to do with luck. It was all Mu Deok's teachings. The show purposefully doesn't show us so much of the training since it would get boring for the viewers. Also, hiding what and just how much Mu Deok's has trained adds to the suspense when we see Jang Uk go face to face with someone - since we're left guessing as to how Jang Uk is going to defect the opponent.

OMG same!

Thank you for this!

The poem - or love letter rather from episode 10.

"You cannot grasp water, but it is inside the soil.
You cannot touch fire, but it is inside the tree.
You cannot hold the wind, but it is resting on the rock.
If you let them be, they will exist everywhere.

The faint, blue light makes me sigh.
My white breath turned into snow and tears.
I could not let them drop and hid them.
Despite knowing that they will fill up once again,
I am a fool who dares not shed a single tear."

Jang Uk doesn't necessarily have to be the king of Daeho. He can become the king of the mages.

The audience has yet to fully meet Jang Uk's mother. We've only seen a glimpse of her thus far. I'm looking forward to seeing her more during a flashback and what actually transpired when Jang Kang and the King switched souls.

Park Jin already told Jang Uk that Jang Kang isn't his father (since they - and ultimately the audience - don't know the whole truth). I think Jang Uk will more or less hold some resentment towards Jang Kang for abandoning him and blocking his energy. Justified since Jang Uk shouldn't have suffered for his father's actions.
