I think the strength of this drama lies not with the plot, but with the character's characterizations and how…
Yep. Definitely big props to the writer of the manhwa though. The writer made it attractive enough so that it could be produced into a drama. And of course, a big round of applause for the whole staff for delivering this wonderful drama for viewers to watch!
Gaaaaah. I loved the scene wherein In Ho and Seol were playing piano together. They looked so cute and adorable!…
@paintedblues From what I remember, no romance between them. However, one of Min Soo's major embarrassments is related to Seol's brother. Look forward to it :)
Oh man, who else is ready for Jung to expose Min Soo? Doesn't look like it'll be in the next episode, so maybe in episode 10. In the drama, it was so humiliating for Min Soo but so darn satisfying for the reader. I look forward to this scene in the drama!
Actor Park Hae-jin, enjoying growing popularity in both Korea and China with his new tvN drama “Cheese in the Trap,” has signed endorsements with 15 advertisers, according to industry insiders.
Park was recently signed on by a wide range of brands, including 7-eleven, Beanpole accessory, and an outdoor brand Centerpole. He also renewed contracts with Mind Bridge, Kohler Novita, and Lotte Duty Free. Park’s total income from modeling for brands is estimated at around about 11 billion won (about $9 million).
Following the contract, an international chain of convenience stores, 7-eleven, launched a vast array of products featuring the character “Yoo Jung,” the male protagonist that Park plays in the drama, such as a triangular gimbap and a lunch box. 7-eleven will expand the range of products and export them to other Asian countries including China, Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan, said the actor’s agency WM Company.
“Cheese in the Trap,” a romantic thriller based on the eponymous Naver webtoon, recorded 6.6 percent of viewer ratings with its fifth episode, according to AGB Nielsen Media Research, confirming its popularity.
It also topped the Weibo drama chart even before its official release in China, which shows its popularity among Chinese viewers as well.
The drama airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 11 p.m. and will be released via Chinese website Youku and Tudou this summer.
What do you guys enjoy better the manwha or the drama? I haven't had time to read the manwha yet so thoughts?
Both the manhwa and drama has its charms but for me, the manhwa currently edges out the drama because it's more in depth and detailed as @hyerim mentioned. For those who haven't read the manhwa, I imagine the drama is delightful with the fast pacing and storyline regardless of certain missing details from the manhwa. Besides, the cast is pretty on point!
lol I feel so weird because I don't have a second lead syndrome. I feel that Seol and In Ho have more of a siblings…
@TurkishRose Don't be too relieved though because the drama In Ho is definitely a lot nicer than manhwa In Ho so we don't know where the drama is headed to with this...

I had SLS momentarily because of the rain scene but after that, back to supporting Yoo Jung. This is probably also because I've read the manhwa (not the latest episodes though) and In Ho doesn't look like a love interest anymore after a certain point in the mnahwa. But I have to admit, drama In Ho is a much better person than manhwa In Ho.
“Cheese in the Trap” Broadcasting Rights Sold to China at Record Price
The broadcasting rights of tvN’s currently airing drama “Cheese in the Trap” have been sold to Chinese online distributers at a record price.

Meanwhile, “Cheese in the Trap” has consistently ranked among the hottest drama search terms on Chinese social media, proving its appeal in the Chinese market.
LMAO who died when In Ho told Yoo Jung that if he fights him he'll fly outta this atmosphere.
Haha those two moments plus when they were looking at Seol's photobook. Jung was like, 'wow your eyes were very big when you were young' and Seol's like, 'excuse me??? *turns page*'Don't know if Jung is too honest or just clueless xD
LMAO who died when In Ho told Yoo Jung that if he fights him he'll fly outta this atmosphere.
Lol I thought it was translated wrong so I had to rewatch that scene to finally see that they were for real. And that scene where Jung bumps his head on the table and Seol just laughs ...almost looked like it wasn't part of the script xD
Wow the preview for episode 7 almost made me forget about episode 6 (as squeal worthy as it is)... so excited for next week! If this drama follows the manhwa closely, get ready for lots of anger and yelling. In Ha, Sang Cheol and Joo Yeon don't even compare to what's coming.
we all like a bad boys but yoo jong is a special case that is toxic to say the least.. i dont know if i ship him…
Haha I actually considered In Ho to be the bad boy. But yeah, Jung could be a special case of "bad boy" even though he's so proper (in appearance and manners for the most part at least).
Omg Jung at the end of episode 5 </3. I can kinda sympathize with his thoughts because there have been times where I felt like an outcast and wonder if I'm strange ...but I think it's just more like being different. Also really glad to see Jung expressively mad for the first time and finally hear his inner thoughts. He sees/catches people doing the wrong things that they should be punished for. Instead of reporting them, he either uses the wrongdoing to his advantage or convenience. In his mind, those people who did something wrong are the bad people so he doesn't understand why others are viewing him like he's a monster. And to be honest, the wrongdoings by some of the characters are pretty serious if considered in the real world. Yet those same characters make us view Jung as the twisted person who is manipulative when he technically didn't do anything "wrong". This is where it gets hard to digest his actions but I love his character.
I was most shocked when he said Seol was just like everyone else, who judged him before knowing him -- because I think that's actually true. From the way the drama started, I saw Seol as the good person but now, even she is someone with many faults along with Jung.
Is it Monday yet? lol... seriously though... I haven't anticipated a drama each week, like this, since Oh My Ghost;…
I know what you mean >.< This is the first time I'm anticipating a drama each week after just 4 episodes! With Healer, I was literally on the edge every week but that was after the first 6 episodes.
This is the first time I'm finding Nam Joo Hyuk absolutely adorable and it's been strange after disliking him…
Wow I actually found NJH pretty attractive in School 2015...YSJ, not so much. But to be honest, I didn't really ship the female lead with either of the male leads xD
@TurkishRose Hehe yep, the whole plan is just splendidly done. But Min Soo's downfall is also her own fault which made it even more embarrassing.
Oh man, who else is ready for Jung to expose Min Soo? Doesn't look like it'll be in the next episode, so maybe in episode 10. In the drama, it was so humiliating for Min Soo but so darn satisfying for the reader. I look forward to this scene in the drama!
