Light and fun drama to watch
Peach Trap hooked me right from the start. Three attractive men all fighting for one person? Yeah sign me up!!!! I won’t lie, I kind of wished I were Do Ha for a second. The concept felt fresh enough to be entertaining, even though it isn’t entirely new. It shares similarities with Secret Relationship, but what sets Peach Trap apart is the uncertainty. You genuinely don’t know who Do Ha will end up with, and that unpredictability keeps the drama engaging and fun to watch.
Where the series struggles, though, is its length. Fitting everything into just eight episodes felt rushed. With three male leads,, each with their own storyline and individual moments with Do Ha,, the pacing moved a little too fast. None of them really got enough screen time to fully develop. That said, I didn’t mind too much, because honestly… I was rooting for the best friend the whole time anyway (fight meee!!).
Each character had their own charm, so it made sense that viewers had different biases while the show was airing. Even though I already knew who Do Ha would end up with because of spoilers, I still found myself constantly changing my mind while watching. In the end, though, I stuck with my original bias, Taek Gyeon. After seeing their history as childhood best friends, how could I not? If Do Ha didn’t want him, I would’ve gladly taken him myself thankyou.
I was a bit confused about Ha Ram’s role, though. There was clearly some tension between him and Taek Gyeon (hmmmm…), but the drama never fully explained it. My suspicions were partly confirmed in the final scene when Taek Gyeon implied that Ha Ram never truly wanted Do Ha,, but that thread was never explored further so I guess we will never knoww. Then there was the scene involving Ha Ram and the other jiu-jitsu trainer, which only added to my confusion. Maybe I missed something, but that subplot felt underdeveloped, and I wish the writers had clarified it moreee.
The Ending
As someone who always roots for the childhood best friend, I was very satisfied with the ending. I didn’t expect much going in, so getting not just one kiss, but multiple kisses?!!! was a pleasant surprise. And one of them wasn’t even the usual cute, safe BL kiss; it was actually steamy, which made it even better zhaaha. When Do Ha chose Taek Gyeon in episode seven, I was excited that we’d get a full episode dedicated to their dating era, and thankfully, the show delivered.
Overall, Peach Trap is a must watch if you enjoy love triangles, emotional confusion, and the thrill of not knowing who the main character will choose until the very end. WATCH ITTT!
