(contenido sexual explicito y sensible)
El fisioterapeuta Kim Dan ha estado pasando por malos momentos tanto como puede recordar. Entre una abuela enferma, prestamistas amenazantes y un antiguo jefe que hace casi imposible que encuentre trabajo, Dan realmente se está quedando sin opciones. Naturalmente, se siente como un sueño hecho realidad cuando finalmente es contratado para tratar al peleador de MMA mejor pagado, Joo Jaekyung, especialmente cuando el hombre lo llama para un tratamiento la noche antes de una pelea con una oferta tentadora de cinco mil dólares. Afirma tener un “tabú” que necesita un tipo particular de “tratamiento”, pero es uno que Dan no está preparado para ofrecer… Ves, Jaekyung puede ser una bestia en el ring, pero es aún más salvaje en la habitación, y Dan no está seguro de poder sobrevivir a Jaekyung en su estado más primitivo. Sin embargo, la promesa de dinero tan necesario hace que Dan acepte este trato condenado… ¿Podría una noche juntos ser lo que ayude a Jaekyung a romper este tabú de una vez por todas?

Tóxico es decir poco. Sexo por dinero cuando no queda otra opción y una obsesión enfermiza por ganar son las dos cuestiones que hace que estos personajes se crucen. Dan es frágil, lo dañaron en el pasado y ahora está en una situación económica y familiar vulnerable, por eso acepta lo que le proponen, pero el maltrato que recibe es más que injusto. Sobre el otro personaje aún no se sabe que hay en su pasado para que sea tan frío y cruel con todo el mundo, pero parece que aún hay una posibilidad de que su corazón sienta algo, pero sus palabras hirientes lo ocultan.
La complejidad psicológica de esta relación es muy interesante, la dependencia y vulnerabilidad están presentes en su máxima expresión. Esperemos que en la segunda temporada puedan sanar ambos, ya sufrieron más que suficiente, aunque el boxeador aún necesita que lo golpeen, que le sacudan las idea, para entender que el camino que tomo no le sirve ni a él mismo.

There is something wrong with the author... and probably with me because I've come this far.
This is mostly toxic (even if it's getting better), but so gorgeous.

Temporada 1: Caps 1-55 (incluyendo los capítulos especiales)
Empecé a leer Jinx por cariño y nostalgia a BJ Alex y la neta no recomiendo esta obra para nada. Lo más rescatable es la historia de Dan, de la pareja secundaria y ya. Jaekyung es un violador y Dan se enamora de su violador, hay una dinámica de poder y coerción tremenda. Ya a estas alturas sigo leyendo la historia porque la empecé a leer en el lanzamiento y porque tengo la esperanza de que Dan va a ser feliz en algún momento

Lo leí en 2024 y pase puros corajes. Tengo tantos sentimientos negativos hacia esta historia que no me dan ganas ni de destruirla como a “Before” de Anna Todd.

September 6, 2025This is one of those manhwas that I honestly can’t assign a rating to because it’s such a dumpster fire, but at the same time I can’t stop reading it until it’s burned out

December 19, 2025honestly, I read until chap 30 and then skipped to 70 bc I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT READ THAT SHIT THIS DISGUSTING ASSHOLE PUTS MY GLORIOUS KING KIM DAN THROUGH!!!!!

Jaekyung diciendo que es una basura, es probablemente lo único coherente de la historia.

Me adelanto a escribir la review porque después de la actu de hoy (90) sé que el final no me decepcionará:
Está lejos de ser perfecto, pero tras experimentarlo en emisión... creo que es lo que se merece. Es el tipo de historia que se disfruta sumergiéndose por completo en el fandom (los memes, los debates, las teorías, las funas, los fanarts y fanfics). Además de que pudo verse el crecimiento de Mingwa como autora, no solo en el apartado visual, sino en narrativa y ritmo, ya que logró que un collage de clichés fuera interesante. Se nota de donde viene su inspiración, sabe lo que vende y conoce a su gente lo suficiente como para aprovecharlo.

Debo decir que odio esa portada jaja
Bueno prácticamente gran parte de la primera temporada es muuuy cuestionable algo como salido de una historia de terror JAJAJ
Yo era una lectora pasiva de este manhwa solo sabía cosas por tiktok y así hasta que una amiga me dijo anímate a leerlo y el resto es historia
He estado mes a mes al día en cada capítulo porque no quiero dejar a Kim Dan solo y dejando de lado lo cuestionable es una historia dramática que siento que mejoró en la segunda temporada
el crecimiento de Jaekyung va avanzado y retrocediendo pero siento que Dan no a avanzado mucho más allá de la mejora de su trastorno y lo que él estaba pasando, yo espero que encuentre tranquilidad
En este tipo de historias siempre se quedan juntos a pesar de la pasaron mal en muchos momentos, así que ya me hago la idea
Aunque siempre espero que me sorprenda el final

Originally started mid 2025 and dnf-ed because I was bored. Recently, I picked it back up again and quickly realized why I dumped it.
As of 01/19/2026, the Mr. Joo guy only now realized his covert and covert verbal, physical, and sexual abuse of Kim Dan and is trying to make up for it. It took like 70 chapters for this guy to be like, "Wait, what if I'm the problem and the reason why Kim Dan doesn't like him.
Also during these most recent chapters in the countryside arc, I felt so proud of Kim Dan for standing up for himself and treating Mr. Joo as a job. We love a self-respecting king!!
However, even still, those moments of excusing the abuse that he had endured still appear faintly. I am not sure why he even agreed to go back to his abuser (regardless of the money), and it felt that throughout this whole series that the trauma that Kim Dan went through is just pushed to the side and excused as angst. This is especially exemplary when Kim Dan accidently sprays the drugged spray on Mr. Joo's foot, causing him to lose his "precious" win streak. The mental, physical, and verbal abuse that Kim Dan endured haunted him even after he left for the countryside, and yet Kim Dan still felt solely guilty. I know that this is a common feeling that many people in toxic relationships feel, so seeing this portrayed in this manner is not unrealistic; however, when this series is marketed as a "romance," it definitely becomes problematic.
I definitely would not call this a romance since there is nothing romantic to the abuse and hurt that is consistently present throughout this whole relationship. Because it took damn near 70 chapters to even get an ounce of self-realization, the author seemingly writes this whole story as "the woes of an unconventional romantic falling-in-love story" when this series is more genuinely similar to Killing Stalking if anything. Like with that series, the story itself was interesting because it was so out-there, but it did not feel romantic whatsoever.
The fact that this is the same author as BJ Alex is baffling. I found out mid-series with a BJ Alex cameo and a... uhhh... certain bedroom play..., and it was shocking how dissimilar they were. I mean, there are similar plot points and tropes with the second top coming into the picture to the steal the bottom away and the first top gets possessive or whatever, but the manner in which Mr. Joo hurts Kim Dan is not comparable to the simple arguments that the couple in BJ Alex had. It almost feels like Mingwa was trying to recreate the success of BJ Alex but for a way more intense audience, and I personally wasn't really having it. This was especially the case with the lack of consent (well, there was some, but the waters are really really muddy). Fuck no.
There is definitely way more I could say about different parts of this series, but since it is not done yet, I'm only going to discuss my main points. I kept reading this series purely out of the curiosity of watching a car crash, but damn does that scene gets old when it's simply replayed over and over again until 70 chapters in. I am still curious to see how Mr. Joo and Kim Dan's relationship progresses over time now since actual character development of those two are finally happening, but they will probably be a while since I am now caught up and there is supposedly a hiatus occurring.
The only reason why this series is not 2 stars is because of the writing style sucking you into the story and this recent character development. I do not believe that this series is 1 star material since my definition of that is like Colleen Hoover levels of delusional abuse-is-romance and bad writing. Even though my review sounds like I am categorizing them as the same, this series does have some more redeeming qualities like the inclusion of the other well-written characters, character banter, and a decent overarching plot. The smut was a bit much, but hey, this is the BJ Alex author, so is it really surprising?
Anyways, Potato is the best character hands-down.

Apesar de que recién lo leí, la verdad es que estoy en el fandom desde que se estreno. 🤪
Cosas que decir de Jinx
1. Dan esta bien salado
2. Amo a su abuelita
3. Tremendo coraje que hago con el spirit
4. ¿Que onda con la patata? ¿Ama a Dan o a el otro?
5. Okey quiero que se quede con el actor. Es la mamada
6. Hijo de puta
7. Ay Dan, espero que este baboso se arrastre hasta que no quede suelo por tu perdón
8. En serio Dan, a este punto te prefiero solito

0 si es necesario, no ha terminado y lo empecé desde q salió hace unos años. La historia es malísima, odio el típico cliché del pobre endeudado con un millo q lo trata mal. Mi amiga es la que me ha estado comentando q sucede con cada avance que ocurre y me da satisfacción como Jaekyung va cambiando y le pidió perdón a Dan. Dan plis no dejes enamorarte de él, mándalo a comer mierda. De nuevo las q apoyan a jaekyung vayan a revisarse mentalmente plissss

I finished all 76 chapters of this manhwa I just couldn't put it down
First 85% is porn, trash, very disturbing content that I'm kind of concerned for people who like this, but that last 15% kind of got under my skin I guess I need to call my therapist because I'm now concerned for my own mental health

What the actual fuck? I have no words for Jaekyung. He deserves every bad thing that will happen to him. And yes, I still rated this mess with five stars. Why? I don't know. I hated it, but it also entertained me. Not only that, but I shouldn't like this at all. Massive guilty pleasure.
I'm hoping that Jaekyung gets in season two a character development.

The characters in general are very flat. The side characters had more character than the male leads. I was really disappointed in this book because Mingwa is one of my favorite Manhwa authors. I think the fans agree. Otherwise, Kim Dan, his grandma, Potato and Heeseung were the only redeeming qualities.

February 6, 2026Read in English up until chapter 90. For some reason the second season or english versions aren't on goodreads.
Super problematic and toxic. Gorgeous artwork. Wouldn't recommend based on the toxic main character and the handling of rape, violence, etc.
Continued reading because I was interested in the plot/ how they would "redeem" the toxic MMA fighter love interest.

Nothing can deliver a quick toxique fix like a Manhwa can.
Plot is nothing new, toxicity is nothing new. Though I am still waiting for a good grovel session from the main lead.
This manhwa is still on going. Read up to chapter 69.

No lo pienso clasificar porque si bien odié a Jeakyung no pude parar de leer.
No puedo esperar a que la autora se recupere. La segunda temporada se terminó en la mejor parte 🤧

August 14, 2025DNF - This was not what I expected at all, and all I can say is that Joo Jaekyung is one of the absolute worst MMC's I've ever experienced - no redemption arc can save this character, sorry, not sorry.

Si pudiera darle una paliza a mi yo del pasado por la bromita de leerse está mierda a sabiendas del tipo de cosas que escribe esta señora yo estaría muerta y no tendría porqué estar escribiendo está reseña 💀💀

me estrese caleta, prefiero meterme un dedo en el culo que leerlo de nuevo, hasta una diarrea es mas satisfactoria, a mi decir voy a seguir leyendo la segunda temporada, por puro masoquismo.
Odio como dibuja las orejas.
