3 ★ : Love Jinx by Geonhan
⇢ Genre: Contemporary Romance, Slice of Life, Drama, BL
⇢ Pacing: Medium
⇢ Trigger Warnings: Abuse, Trauma, Mental Abuse, Gaslighting, Non-con, Dub-con
In-depth Rating:
⇢ Plot: ★★★
⇢ World Building ★★
⇢ Art Style ★★★★
⇢ Character Development: ★★
⇢ Satisfactory Level: ★★★
General Comment: ABSOLUTELY AND IRREVOCABLY A SHITTY BL THAT MAKES ME WANT TO SHATTER GLASS. IS IT GOOD? NO. AM I STILL INTO IT? YES. I read this manhwa at night just to pass my time and to entertain myself to escape the harshness of reality and what did I receive when I read this? headache. Even so, I still ate this up. Everyone looks the same, I could not tell them apart because of similar character designs but I kinda like the art style in this manhwa. The concept of the jinx is interesting but it's just only that. All the male characters are into the mc which left me a bit infuriated and the seme is of what mortals call, a yandere character. I can tell from the distance that this manhwa leads to a heated and insanely obsessive toxic love between the main characters and I would still eat this up. If you want a wholesome manhwa scroll fast. Why are you here? DO NOT EXPECT SOMETHING GOOD FROM THIS MANHWA

Haekyung annoys me and Woojin is toxic despite being better than Haekyung's rest of the exes.

Liked it for the most part.😆 It was really crazy and very entertaining. I definitely did not stay for the psycho yandere seme who has a third leg, and does not take no for an answer, but sadly, I'm colorblind and can't see a red flag from a mile away so just don't mind me while I continue waiting for updates. 👁👄👁

Demasiado tóxico a como me gustan, pero demasiado bueno y adictivo para atraparte.
El dibujo es hermoso, los personajes son bastante dudosos, sin embargo, está mejor construido a como creí que sería del típico chico obsesionado con su hyung.
Las dos temporadas se leen rápido, la trama aunque lineal, es interesante y siempre muestra cosas nuevas.
¡Necesito la tercera temporada para poder vivir!

It’s unclear which episodes are included in the first volume but I got up to 27 and usually volumes are like 12/15 chapters max for a 160’page manga.
Honestly the comic has potential but the characters look way too similar and the plot is kind of all over the place. I’ll possibly continue but not right now.
It’s a BL that focuses on a guy who moves into a house with some random dude from a bar after his boyfriend cheats on him and gets engaged to a woman. He ends up at this house because he’s super drunk, kisses one of the guys and then spits on him and then decides he’s gonna live there. Chaos drunk energy.
Then he discovers one of the roommates is a guy he used to know. It’s not revealed until like episode 25 that they used to kind of date so I’m not even sure if it would be attributed to this volume. The art is nice and everything else is a mess. Love interest is seriously unhinged and the age gap is a bit icky.

Personaggi praticamente tutti uguali, difficile riconoscerli, e i nomi coreani non aiutano 😅
Insomma finite di leggerlo e non vi ricordate neanche i nomi dei protagonisti.
Praticamente è un dark romance pieno di abusi ma mascherato da relazione romantica 😅
In linea generale ti tiene abbastanza attaccato alle pagine e ho dato 3 stelle per questo, alla fine mi è piaciuto ma se andiamo a stringere, ci sono le classiche cose:
- relazioni con abusi
- violenza = cosa positiva
- relazione tossica
- personaggi gelosi e violenti
- personaggi totalmente ossessionati dal partner
- traumi
- scene vm18 un po' esagerate (anche meno) 😅
Insomma, questo elenco va più che bene, ma mi aspettavo qualcosa di più. Qualcosa in più anche dal protagonista abusato ... Ok ti piace, ma parlaci quando è troppo!😐
- Non che mi aspettassi grandi cose anche dalle sottotrame ma praticamente una risoluzione vera e propria di tutte quelle aperte non c' è stata.
In conclusione: ho visto la pubblicità e mi ha incuriosita così mi sono sparata tutti i capitoli insieme senza sapere cosa aspettarmi ed eccomi quì. È un buon intrattenimento per una giornata pigra ma con svariate esagerazioni che pesano un po' sulla fruizione in generale.

Season 1:
So many of the characters look alike and the love interest is so… creepy and toxic imo. That said, I’m somehow still curious about the story…
Season 2:
Just started and it’s already sus lol. I usually can separate fiction from reality but already the first chapter of this was not okay. I mean, how can you do that while someone is unconscious (??). Sorry but I kinda dislike Woojin —he’s literally a crazy psychopath but not in a good way (don’t ask😅).
Anyways, might drop might not 🤷♀️
UPDATE: I decided to drop 😭 (just skimming through ch 37 was painful). I just can’t do it. Good luck to everyone else!

fun and good drawing. but the characters are too dramatic and exaggerated. besides, the plot is confusing and many times the common thread is lost.

Season 1 was very slow and awkward. There wasn't enough backstory shown till later on, and while I love the illustrations, some of the characters looked too similar. So much so that the artist changed one's hair color after a while. Yes, it is a toxic relationship, but in the fashion of fiction, I was able to look past it because of the pretext. It doesn't make it right, but I chose to move on.
Season two is where I really started to enjoy the story. Kang Woojin was very blunt and hostile at first, but we learn a new side to him here. Which is that he is absolutely feral over the love of his life and will do anything for him. And the fact that they met as kids just made my heart turn into mush.
Lim Haegyung is also deep and complicated. He is older than Woojin and the bottom.... *melt*. I loved the contrast between the two. Haegyung is more practical and standoffish while Woojin has no boundaries and doesn't care if someone is looking. Just his blinders for Haegyung made the story for me. Even though Woojin is flat out crazy he let his career suffer for his boyfriend to be safe, and I think in the end, he was on his way to becoming a better person.
The ending. Oh boy, it cuts off practically mid sentence, and there is no more. I read somewhere the author had health problems and had to quit, so be aware of a major unsatisfying cliffhanger. Still, in the end, Love Jinx and it's Characters grew on me.

What. In. The. World. Was that ending🫠
I loved the whole thing! and then…. you get to the last episode on season three and just…. Why the cliffhanger!!!! I neeedddd moreeeee! Like he literally just woke up from a coma after protecting you in a car crash Woojin!! You tried to kill the creepy abusive ex (as you should since he just tried to kill you both and got your boy hella messed up!) P.s. Did I mention that he’s a creep and a psycho??!!? Also I need to know if Heakyung talks to his mommmm I want the detailss 😭😭😭 AND I wANT tO SeE tHeM GET maRRiED! I wish it ended in a way we could see them finally together without having Heakyungs messed up freakshows of exs causing problems…
Point is it’s a fantastic yet wacky story… but the final chapter is so stressful because it’s a horribly placed cliffhanger that makes me wanna cry but also re-read the whole thing and make my own ending 🥲

The obsession of Woojin! He isn't just a green or yellow flag; he’s a complete black one. However, by the end of the story, he ends up being a mix of yellow and green. Haekyung, my dear, has gone through a lot, and he deserves to be happy! I love the plot, the pacing, and the overall art of the story. However, I felt that the ending was a bit rushed. If the chapters could be extended to 80, the events could be better understood, and some issues seem to have been left unsaid. For instance, I wanted to see Haekyung's reunion with his parents, a sense of justice for Haekyung, and the aftermath of Woojin and Haekyung's accidents. Nevertheless, it is an excellent manhwa with the right amount of angst, rebellion, love, and revenge.

Plot is interesting and so are the characters only flaw there is, is that
I wish they, summarized the the flashbacks a bit because I feel like a lot of the flashback are just useless
also I wish they solved the misunderstandment between kihoon and his bf before the end of season 1other than that

My heart...to love someone so much that you'd do anything for them puts me on cloud 9. But to willingly hurt them, to want them to know your pain really slices my wings. But to want them so much your entire life is changed gives me hope. This story really had my heart swaying back and forth and then to end it right there...I'm going to try my best to stay calm while I wait for vol. 2.

1 y 2 temporada: 2.5/5 ⭐️
NECESITO LA TERCERA TEMPORADA, lo dejaron en una parte muy buena AAAAAAH
Aclaro que no es que me esté gustando la historia, la encuentro muy tóxica y el cuerpo del obsesionado está extremadamente grande, pero el drama está muy bueno, es adictivo de leer. Lean las advertencias si les llama la atención, pero la verdad no se pierden de mucho.

One star and I’m being overly generous.
Lets start with the best things about this manwha.
Nothing. I can’t even say the art style is good because it’s not.
Love jinx? More like; I have issues and should seek professional help.
And honestly I don’t care if you liked it or not but don’t even bother reading it. It’s a waste of your oh so precious time.

Honestly, this story just hits for me. It's pretty problematic and stuff but damn me to hell is this story so addicting. These kinds of stories are my toxic trait.
I will be patiently waiting for season 2 to release!

I love Yaoi. The names of the characters are similar and they look similar but after reading it for a while I started recalling who was whom and the author put the characters at the end to help simplify it
September 15, 2024
I absolutely adore this book! do I wish there was more of course but as long as they end up together at the end, I am so happy! And who could not love Woojin! The links that he goes to for the man that he loves - I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I COULD NOT STOP READING. At first I was confused by the rage and embarrassment the main character was feeling, but all is revealed 3/4 of the way through. This was HOT, like don’t read this in public hot. 😂🥰
100% would read this again, and if anything else comes out for the series ILL BE THERE 🔥
