TV Review: Cheese in the Trap

                                                 Cheese in the Trap Review

Cheese in the Trap is about a poor and hardworking college student named Hong Seol who notices that Yoo Jung a popular upperclassmen is not the person that he pretends to be and is in fact some who is very manipulative and is capable of destroying someone's life without anyone being able to see that he is the bad guy. Since Seol was able to see through Yoo Jung's act he makes life for her very difficult at school for about a year until he decides to take an interest in her and begins treating her kindly. Seol finds it difficult to trust Yoo Jung at first but after awhile she starts to think that her first impression of him was the wrong one and the two begin to date, most of the conflict between them has to do with Seol wondering if her first or second impression is the right one and what she will do if her first impression is the right one now that she has feelings for Yoo Jung.

Seol ends up becoming friends with Baek In ho who is someone that knows Yoo Jung better than most people since Yoo Jung's father took in him and his sister. In the past Yoo Jung caused an incident that ended up destroying In ho's hand and since he was a talented pianist who was doing very well while he was competing this also ended up destroying his dream as well. In ho had only recently returned after leaving years ago due to the hand incident and he hates Yoo Jung because he sees how two faced he really is and he's one of the people who warn Seol of Yoo Jung's true nature after the two of them start dating. Seol ends up inspiring In ho to start playing piano again after years of not playing and the two of them end up spending a lot of time together through out the series which leads to him falling for her but never actually pursuing her since he understands that she's in a relationship.

This series is also one that has a lot of subplots such as one's with Seol having trouble in getting her classmates to do their share of the work in a group project, Seol has a stalker who wants to date her and she has a girl who wants to be her so badly that she starts dressing like her, there's subplots about how Baek In ha keeps trying to live off of Yoo Jung and his father forever and how Yoo Jung keeps trying to get her cut off and there's a subplot of Seol's closest friends Bo Ra and Eun Taek having feelings for each other and eventually deciding to date. There's a lot of other subplots as well in the series since this series is a slice of life one most things that happen her are just events in Seol and people who surround her lives.

Overall I really liked this series, I liked that although not all that much was really happening in this series I was also so invested in it because I find the characters to be so interesting and engaging. The characters and relationships were what really made this drama and I love stories like this so this was a show that really got me.
