Cheese in the Trap

Two words - Different and realistic. I could feel both the male and female leads. It's not the perfect relationship usually portrayed in Kdramas. But one which makes you think about what love actually is. Glad I gave it a watch! Absolutely loved the acting of male lead.

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.

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.

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.

It started out very promising, but after some episodes they totally lost me. I almost stopped watching. Although after about episode 11 luckily I regained interest.

There was no lovely chemistry between the ML and FL. Most of the time I felt awkward about how he acted. What a toxic relationship they had! And over and over again she excepted the way he mistreated people.

The most annoying character for sure was the sister. Omg, the way she acted?! And this from the beginning until the last minute!

It was bad enough that it wasn't a lovely story, the ending felt incomplete. But then again, I didn't mind the series was over. Normally I have withdrawal symptoms from being sucked into a series, but this one was easy to let go.

The only reason to watch the series: Seo Kang Joon. Loved his character: his smile, his will to be independent, his caring for her and his sister 😍 He really was the reason I kept watching after some disappointing episodes... and kept hoping. Unfortunately for nothing much.
