i think jung isn't really that bad, I'm thinking they won't explain it till the end that he is good after all. like you know how seol's actions get misinterpreted by people too in ep 8 as being manipulative and calculating....i think its because jung and seol are both introverted, quiet, guarded, "pushovers" and don't wanna cause trouble by explaining themselves too much that they get misinterpreted...most of the characters in cheese apart from seol, jung and minsoo are extroverted and outspoken? thoughts anyone? or i may be wrong? if anyone can explain?...
Cheese in the Trap reaches 400 Million views in China!
SEOUL (Yonhap) — “Cheese in the Trap,” a webtoon-based TV series starring popular actor Park Hae-jin, is poised to become the next record breaker with viewer rates climbing to levels unseen for a weekday show.
In its fourth episode earlier this month, the tvN series broke the record for a weekday cable TV drama with a viewer rate of 6 percent, beating the previous record of 5.5 percent set by a JTBC drama in 2014.
By the fifth episode last Monday, “Cheese in the Trap” drew 6.6 percent of viewers as its SBS TV rival “Healing Camp” recorded 4.2 percent in the same time slot. The following day, the show went on to record 6.5 percent for its sixth episode, while its competitor on KBS TV drew a mere 3.9 percent.
Much of the popularity of the 16-part romance thriller has been attributed to Park, 32, who plays a college student hiding a dangerous character behind his sweet smile.
Airing at 11 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays, “Cheese in the Trap” has a tougher job than its weekend counterparts, but analysts say the show could even break the 10 percent mark if its popularity continues.
Last week, the show was sold to China’s largest video websites, Youku and Tudou, at US$2 million, the highest price in the history of Korean cable drama exports, according to its PR agency Ytree Company.
Each episode was sold for $125,000, breaking the previous record of $100,000 set by cable channel OCN’s “Bad Guys” in 2014.
The drama also reached No. 1 on China’s Weibo Drama Popularity Chart during its fifth episode, attracting 350 million views. The next day, it had 400 million views.
The webtoon of the same name has had more than 1.1 billion hits on South Korea’s No. 1 portal site, Naver, since 2010.
Kim Go Eun Puts Casting Issues to Rest With Excellent Acting in “Cheese in the Trap”
Actress Kim Go Eun, who plays female lead Hong Seol in the tvN drama “Cheese in the Trap,” has surprised her critics with her excellent acting.
The drama had received serious attention before its broadcast due to its adaptation of a popular webtoon of the same name. Various actresses, including miss A’s Suzy, were mentioned for the role of Hong Seol, but Kim Go Eun was eventually cast.
Many netizens opposed her casting and questioned her chemistry with popular actor Park Hae Jin. Kim Go Eun is receiving praise for capturing Hong Seol’s independent personality in the scenes when she talks to herself, as well as her excellent portrayal of complete confusion when Park Hae Jin’s character makes a surprise confession.
Kim Go Eun also revealed that she had deliberated over the role for a long time. “I talked about various things with the director and decided not to worry about the high expectations,” she said. “If I can capture Hong Seol’s style that I liked so much in the original, then I’ll be satisfied.”
Who wants to watch Episode 8 LIVE tomorrow with us (so far 2 people)? :D Step 1: Convert 11PM Seoul S.Korea to…
i'm definitely in! :) @TurkishRose, i just read that parkjaehin has a lot of endorsements because of this show! :) now our obsession isn't so bad a lot of people are into cheese too! :)
Can't believe we're halfway done with the series tom with episode 8! Shipping jung x seol <3 can't wait for…
yes, i think that is maybe why there is that teaser photo (i don't know if you've seen it where seol was made to look like the mouse and jung was the cheese). She's attracted to the "cheese", and may ignore the "trap" or "dangers" (if there is any) of dating him. it's like you know how it is when you are drawn to the mysterious guy in school and you can't help but get attracted to him and end up dating him? :) does that make sense? haha, I might be wrong :)
Can't believe we're halfway done with the series tom with episode 8! Shipping jung x seol <3 can't wait for…
yes we're halfway done :( :( having withdrawals already lol...i enjoyed the car scene and when he was in the classroom and he mentioned that he dated seol and seol was a bit shy about it. i agree with you, seol was really cute and adorable when she kissed yoojung! literally it was **first love** feels! yeah i couldn't understand much of it, yes wonder what he was saying to the thief and in ho in the end :)

can't wait for the subs! so obsessed with this series I've seen the raw version of episode 7 already lol.
Wow! Thanks for the review. Okay I've got to start this one. I like crime mystery thrillers that don't concentrate on the romance element. We can always go for romantic comedies or melodramas if we want to go onto that genre.
