Jinx

Kim Dan, a struggling physical therapist, has faced endless hardships. With a sick grandmother, relentless loan sharks, and a vengeful former employer blocking job opportunities, his situation seems hopeless. So when he lands a job treating elite MMA fighter Joo Jaekyung, it feels like a miracle—until Jaekyung makes an unusual request. The night before a major fight, he offers Dan $5,000 for a special “treatment” to break a supposed jinx. But Dan quickly realizes this isn’t a standard therapy session.

Jaekyung dominates in the ring, but his intensity doesn’t stop there—his demands extend far beyond professional boundaries. Dan hesitates, knowing the fighter’s untamed nature could be overwhelming. Yet, desperate for money, he reluctantly agrees, stepping into a risky arrangement. The question lingers: will this dangerous encounter shatter the curse, or will it leave Dan broken instead? Between financial desperation and Jaekyung’s unpredictable behavior, Dan’s fate hangs in the balance.

The tension builds as Dan wrestles with fear and necessity. Jaekyung’s wild energy contrasts sharply with Dan’s cautious demeanor, creating an explosive dynamic. As the night unfolds, Dan must navigate uncharted territory, unsure if he’ll emerge unscathed or consumed by the fighter’s raw power. The stakes are high, and the outcome uncertain—will this gamble free Jaekyung from his jinx, or will it trap Dan in a situation he can’t escape?
