Cheese in the Trap

Roses are red Violets are blue SEO Kang Joon is the second lead But he's first for you.

Cheese in the Trap is one drama I would rewatch just to appreciate Park Hae Jin's character because quite honestly he did a great job. It's one drama that is unconventional and I liked it that way. The main lead has a weird way of showing his love towards his girlfriend which he thinks works but seems cruel to others. I have no issue with the ending as it worked perfectly for me, considering the direction the drama had taken. I would recommend for someone to watch and form their own opinion, I however loved it.

I have to be honest, I stopped watching after episode five, because my heart couldn't take the tension any more. This is definitely one of the best psychological thrillers I have seen, but it is not romantic, or funny, in any way. A full on sociopath gets obsessed with a girl, and manipulates everyone around her so he can get close to her. She is too scared and confused to stand up to him. I read the spoilers, and to my surprise he DIDN'T murder anyone. The male lead is THAT scary.

If you are like me, and like to watch silly, light, romantic stuff, don't watch this. If you like to not be able to sleep at night, I highly recommend this.

My spouse is the kdrama fan, not me. I tend to find them a bit saccharine, corny, or over the top. That said, this was INCREDIBLE.

The character development was so nuanced and complex, watching the series was almost like reading a really good book. They don't explain everything, they leave some things for the audience to connect the dots on, and I really appreciated that.

My one complaint was the ending felt like I needed just a little more closure than I got, even though I understand, I think, why they did it the way they did. I just would have loved to see the look on her face when the one thing happened in that last moment.

The plot and resolution for this would have been acceptable for a movie, but for an entire TV series it's just too much. If you like watching the lead character make excuses for a psychopath boyfriend who ruins other people's lives for her you may like this; otherwise go watch something else. The writers must like bad things happening to good people, as that's the majority of what happens here. You can watch a few episodes to get an idea of what it's like, but after episode 4 or 5 it's pretty much all the same, with the ending providing no resolution or closure.
