Seohyun and Na In Woo’s heart-fluttering romance is coming.
On the 15th, KBS’s new drama Jinxed at First held its press conference, which director Yoon Sang Ho, Seohyun and Na In Woo attended. The new fantasy romance series tells the story of a man who has come to terms with his unlucky fate and a goddess who has jumped into the real world to break her curse. Seohyun plays Seul Bi, who has the mysterious ability to see the future of the person she touches, and Na In Woo plays Gong Soo Kwang, a fishmonger with a “special jinx.”
The series is based on a popular webtoon that garnered 100 million views. Director Yoon shared, “The original webtoon was so fun, so there was no pressure. The writer had a rough time, but she successfully added a new engine to the original story. We mainly focused on faithfully sticking to the original story.”
Seohyun introduced her character Seul Bi, “Seul Bi is 18 years old. Since she’s never stepped out into the world, I thought that it was my job to show the changes in emotions that she goes through.”
“Seulbi is like the Korean version of Rapunzel,” She added. “Because of her abilities, she lived a life that’s cut off from the rest of the world for almost 20 years. She’s always staying in one area, so she reads books nonstop every day. She wears princess-like clothes because her world is built on what she reads. I put emphasis on the gloves is because I wanted to make it feel like she was sealing off her ability to see the future.”
Na In Woo added, “in the beginning, Gong Soo Kwang tends to be dark. But after meeting many characters and as relationships become important, I lightened up the tone and tried to be more fun.” Seohyun praised her co-star, saying, “He’s a very responsible actor. I’ve never seen him put down the scripts at the scene. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun.”
Meanwhile, Jinxed at First will premiere on June 15th at 9:50 PM KST.
