I could say.. I'm a big fan of Cheese in the Trap since its manhwa was posted in Line WebToon couple of years ago. I've read them day by day till I found out that it will be presented as a Drama in 2016. That'd be the very first drama I see, too, back then. (ps. I didn't get into Korean things before). After its arrival in 2016, turns out I appreciated the series more than I expected, though the story lines went farther than its comic at some points. Then I got news that this story is once again would be packaged for a movie in 2017. That became the next highest anticipation I felt after its series done.
What I'm about to say is, as a movie enthusiast and a big fan of this project, I'm a little bit disappoint with this version somehow. The story line's very good for at least representing its comic, but for some reasons, I found it strange that I referred to the drama version more than the movie. Maybe the first impression that was made from drama's characters brought the movie risen up to a whole new level expectation for us. Park Hae Jin represented Yoo Jung seonbae once again in a very best way (just like Yoo Jung character was built from himself). Oh Yeon Seo could be a fit character for Hong Seol physically, but not characteristically. I expected Hong Seol who was live with more confusion, shyness, vagueness and cleverness just like once acted by Kim Go Eun. And of course for Baek's sibling, they need to do at least portraying those recklessness, cunning, and unbeatable sides of them, just like once played by Seo Kang Joon & Lee Sung Kyung.
When I was reviewing about the main roles as above, I felt the more expectation level rose up to other roles as well. I might gave 5/10 stars for this movie for bringing the rests of the stories that was never brought up in its series. But over all, I couldn't thank you all enough for the characters here. I hope this would never happen again in the future of kdrama or kmovies world, for exploiting a masterpiece story into a profitable business. Thank you
