Cheese in the Trap

My spouse is the kdrama fan, not me. I tend to find them a bit saccharine, corny, or over the top. That said, this was INCREDIBLE.

The character development was so nuanced and complex, watching the series was almost like reading a really good book. They don't explain everything, they leave some things for the audience to connect the dots on, and I really appreciated that.

My one complaint was the ending felt like I needed just a little more closure than I got, even though I understand, I think, why they did it the way they did. I just would have loved to see the look on her face when the one thing happened in that last moment.

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.

I have seen so many korean shows, but this one is so different. It is funny at times, sometimes it's scary and at most times it is the sweetest drama ever. Till the last episode it kept me engaged. Kudos to the makers of the drama!

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.

One of the best kdramas to watch,if you are a fan of kdramas then do give a watch, you won't regret because it is not a typical kdrama with Lovey dovey but leads do have a good chemistry. Well written and once you start watching it you will totally love it,many people found ending was ruined, but as i have said its not typical so you might found it different but otherwise it was soo good,just ignore the bad comments and watch it!
