Fortunes of romance and fate for Cheese in the Trap

Here are a couple more teasers to whet our appetites for tvN’s upcoming campus-set romance-thriller drama Cheese in the Trap, though I’m still trying to figure out where the mystery and thrills come from. So far it looks like a straightforward rom-com with a coolly perfect hero and a plucky everygirl, but every description makes it a point to include that there’s a “dangerous” element to our hero’s appeal. Whatever his secret is, I hope it’s a good one.

The teasers feature leads Park Hae-jin and Kim Go-eun on separate trips to the fortuneteller (played by ubiquitous funnywoman Hwang Seok-jung), wherein they’re informed of their impending fates. The fortuneteller starts out by admiring Park Hae-jin’s beautiful face, then adds, “Nobody knows that you’re black inside and totally rude, do they?” Then she exults that he’s going to meet his match soon: “The girl who’ll expose that you’re all black inside and rude is coming. It’s fate!”

In the next teaser, Kim Go-eun drops by the fortuneteller’s tent wanting to ask about her plans to return to school, only to have the fortuneteller fixate on her love life instead. Kim Go-eun practically rolls her eyes in boredom, until the fortuneteller says, “He’s sexy.” Suddenly she’s all ears and pink-cheeked as she leans in, hearing all about how she won’t be able to escape him even if she tried. But… who’d want to try? Oh right, I suppose there is that whole danger thing, where he’s the cheese in the metaphorical trap, luring our unsuspecting mouse toward doom. This is a love story, right?

Cheese in the Trap premieres on January 4 as tvN’s next Monday-Tuesday drama.

They changed Sul too much. Kind of have a bad feeling about the drama. Although will check it out due to my love of original manhwa and Park Hae Jin.

I too feel the difference between the Seol in this teaser and the webtoon :/
Seol seems to careless in the teaser? and we know how serious and vigilant seol is in the webtoon

Yep. Sul is too girly. She didn't even care much about guys and romance.

I remember Sul being happier on the outside before she met Jung though, that's why when they first met he saw her as pathetic and noisy. It's only after a year of being beat down by many circumstances that she became more tired and serious.

Hmm...Sul didn't turn out what I imagine it to be from the teaser. But will catch the firs two episodes to see how it goes. PHJ is quite lose to what I imagine lol.

I started reading the webtoon the other day and am really enjoying it! It's hard to describe but there is an uneasiness in everything... Seol is a very perceptive person and something seems off to her about Jung. At the point I'm at nothing is really revealed, but the beginning suggests that he's quite manipulative. Or, is it just that Seol is paranoid...? Who knows? Haha.

where are did you get at the webtoon? i don't want to spoil but there are some things that happened that indicate that he's not an innocent boy, at the contrary, he likes to control people and things and doesn't like it when something don't happen according to his plans. well that doesn't mean he's devil but maybe a sociopath? huh

No, this isn't it.

Sul seems him as manipulating, controling guy.

But the truth is yes his outside Image isn't the same as his inside image. He pretends to be nice to everyone even when he doesn't want to/doesn't care about the people just to keep his image, and skip problem/arguing

Or maybe I'm wrong??

I really wonder how this one's going to turn out, but I hope for Kim Go-eun's sake that it's good.

(too much to hope for it to be faithful to the webtoon I guess, but I hope it's at least good when taken on its own merits)

In the webtoon the fortuneteller only appears in a prologue-- but only Seol goes, not Jung.

Yes only Sul goes to fortune teller in prologue, but a flashback scene shows Jung has been told his fortune by Baek Inha [she reads it from newspaper] when he met Sul first time on the similar lines of this fortune.

I can't recollect which season or chapter it was but it for sure wasn't the first season and, I remember it mostly coz Inha says something along the lines of Hong will be important for him or something of that sort - which I found interesting as she was talking about the color but in the whole context it seemed like Sul's family name. :D

Yeah, i agree that seol's character here seems a bit flighty....in the manhwa version she's serious n maybe paranoid or just perceptive. Well it's a teaser so I can't come to any conclusion yet.

Why are they promoting a drama that is more than a month away? Don't they have other dramas to promote? The wait will just frustrate fans.

Seol is an awesome character sincere and quick on feet to find if somethings wrong.... Seol's charm is which holds the show together....
If they pull that off it will be a success (which I didn't see in the trailer) otherwise webtoon followers will not think twice before chewing their bones out..... That's the problem with adoption dramas because they have to justify the original ..

NO!!!!

JB/GF if you guys are listening, please never switch db to disqus, it's a pain to load on a phone and seems to attract a ton of immature kpop trolls to any k-ent site that uses it.....it'll likely be the death of the db community as we know it. And the current commenting system is much less hassle, no need to mess around with passwords and the like.

I personally can't see what's easier to use than a plain old name/email form which can be autofilled without any need for passwords etc.

Sorry if this comes across as harsh but db really doesn't need to become like other disqus-using blogs/websites. The crowd that seems to hang out on disqus is pretty much immature kpop children and trolls, which is the antithesis of everything db is about.

yeah I think you're kinda harsh. I only use diqus in anime and manga sites before, and I think it's fine for me. I dont know that there are something like those that you mentioned before.

sorry, everything in my life is already complicated, even finding why spin could effect freezing and boiling point of a material is really complicated for me. so, I think it's enough now. I understand.

"I think it’s fine for me" ≠ it's fine for this community, just saying. The name/email form really isn't that hard.

To be fair, I don't mind disqus either. It can calculate likes, arrange comments, get notifications, and I've never had to deal with trolls (if there are any, their comments just get buried anyway). That being said, I don't find anything wrong with the current commenting system on Dramabeans either; I just think the criticism was unusually harsh. I mean, it's not like we don't get trolls on Dramabeans either.

The disqus trolls (usually kpop idol fans) make the known db ones look like child's play tbqh. It's not worth attracting that crowd to dramabeans en masse just for the sake of a like button. And I find the disqus comment arrangement system weird since it doesn't seem to go in chronological order.

Basically, the current db system works just fine, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I doubt Javabeans and Girlfriday are ever going to change things that drastically anyway, so the whole point is moot (even if I do disagree with you). Besides, even if they did switch and it didn't work out, all they'd have to do is change it back the way it was, so it's not a big deal either way.

And I have to say, I strongly disagree with the idea "if it's not broke, don't fix it". If Dramabeans never evolved, it'd still be run by Javabeans alone (hence, there'd be no Girlfriday, or any of the other recappers), and we wouldn't be getting nearly as many dramas covered on the site, or any of the fun non-recap threads. Not to mention, we wouldn't have the awesome episode rater either, which was a new addition, and any other cool ideas they have in store for the future (which, like the previous "like" button, can always be removed if broken). So really, what's the harm? There's no need to be rude or harsh to someone who's merely offering a suggestion or sharing their personal preference.

There's evolution (like allowing nested comment threads, which is something that happened after db had been up and running for a while) and then there's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I can see how the star ratings or the new recappers are a positive change to the site, but a new commenting system to replace one that works perfectly fine? I don't think so.

And frankly, all I did was be honest to someone who doesn't know better, about why exactly disqus would be a disaster for the db community - moot or not, I'm not the only commenter who has problems with disqus and I don't think I'm wrong for speaking up against the possibility of adopting it.

I don't know who Kim Go-Eun is but it's so refreshing to see a Korean actress who hasn't had the double eyelid surgery. It's a very rare thing for female actresses but she is still very pretty without it.

Same. Not really interested in CITT, but I find her so captivating. It's really rare to see a true monolid amongst actresses and it's really eye-cathcing. Part of the reason I love Park So Dam, hehe(main reason being her amazing acting, ofc).

Isn't this about university students? Is Park Hye Jin playing a teacher because he's too old looking to be a student. I've never thought he was handsome. I don't get his appeal.

No he's a student and come on he doesn't look that old! actually he looks really young, i woudn't have given him 30.

I guess it is a matter of tase. i for one like his beauty i think it's unique and not a flower boy type..

Aww, I think this man is beautiful on the inside and out. You really have to check out his other dramas (and news) in order to appreciate him. Park Hae Jin is truly an amazing and talented actor and I for one can't wait to see his portrayal of Yoo Jung. I'm sure he'll pull it off quite nicely :)

I'm actually really looking for forward to this drama! There's been so much hype for this drama, and though I don't read websoons, so I have no idea what this drama could possibly be about. It's definately peaked my interest.
They've mentioned that the male lead will have a 'dark side'? I'm curious as to what exactly this will include. Will he be manipulative or have a violent temper?

Btw anyone know how many episodes this drama will have?

People please don't judge the drama by its teasers! let's all wait for the drama to air and then we will be smarter!

I did like the teasers and i thought it was original aside from the usual teasers of drama that shows bits from scenes..

Let's hope for good! let's hope the drama will pleasantly surprise us !

I like that the teasers are like this because it follows so heavily with the way the webtoon seems before you actually read it, lol.

And I think Kim Go Eun's Seol is on point so far. She's such a nervous wreck sometimes and such an awkward person who bottles stuff up inside; I think Kim did a good job in the short teaser. The paper crumpling was a nice touch.

I'm looking forward to watching it.

I really hope not... if that's the case, they've ruined the webtoon. Seriously, this needs to be really quite different from the normal rom-coms we see all the time.

(Holding off on watching the teasers myself... I'll try the first episode when it comes out.)

Perhaps they release the teaser early in order to know viewers' reaction. Love the concept and the color, then again, still waiting for how it will gonna be. Hopefully it's not gonna be a regular romcom
