New Stills for Movie Cheese in the Trap Showcase Second Leads Visually Nailing Their Roles

• They are oooold to play college students, now if you tell me they are working on their PhD's I might considerate plausible, but otherwise: they way too old to try to sell college students.

  Good actors overall, but not to play this characters....

  • I would say they look too old to play the ages of the characters in the book not that they look too old to play college students because there is a large number of baby boomers going back to school to receive a degree. There really isnt anything as a definite age for a college student anymore.

• Yoo In Young is so pretty with long blond hair...
  I wish the movie will give Jung's justice.. I really like Jung in the webtoon, and I hate that people still bashing Jung in every chapter of the webtoon coz they ship Inho and Seol. Hilariously they (international viewers) think that the webtoon is following the drama where the writer/PD(?) ruined the story by giving more screentime to Inho (SKJ). The webtoon is never about love triangle, but a story about two different people (Jung and Seol) and how they grow so much (as a couple) from each misunderstanding.

• I read a part of the webtoon and I didn't like the male lead and the second female lead. One looks like a sociopath and the second like a psychopath...

  I think for the drama is very bashed by the fans of Park Hae Jin and the fans of the webtoon. But if you take it as its own story, I think the drama was good. I liked the end. KGW and SKJ were great in their role, PHJ was already too old for this role for me and LSK overacted too much.

  For the movie, the poster seems nice but when I watch the pictures of the movie, they all look too old for me.

  • IT was more than PHJ’s fan, The webtoon creator released a press release talking about how they stopped contacting her after episode 6 and started taking control of the story even though they promised her to have an active role in knowing the direction they were taking with her work. Her fans were pissed.

• Yoo In Young looks perfect, doesn’t she always? I think she’s going to kill it. And as much as I quite love LSK after weightlifting fairy, she was god awful as Baek In Ha. YIY however looks like imagination coming to life.

  As for PHJ- I’m slightly amused until now that he took this up after all his complaints on how his character was handled in the drama. I wish to have seen someone else take this on. He rubs me the wrong way honestly, like he complained so much about the drama for publicity, then took this up for even more public sympathy. He’s a bit questionable in more ways than one. And I think this comment will cause some fan girls to breathe fire so I’m out lol.

  • This comment is unbelievable seriously they screwed over the webtoon writer and broadcasting stations are forever mistreating actors in the Kdrama industry to almost inhumane conditions. They made him film scenes they had no intentions of showing and he shouldnt be upset? He wanted public sympathy? wow this just really blows my mind.

    • Yes, he should have said how much he loved to not appear in his drama, praise the PD for editing him out and talk about how you're not actually supposed to understand his character in all those post-drama interviews. That would have been great.

      Let's not forget, they didn't even tell him they were re-shooting his scenes with SKJ in his stead and found out by watching the drama on TV just like the rest of us folks. I have no idea why he would complain. The viewers and original creator should have all shut up too, how dare they complain as well. Bunch of attention seekers, all of them!

• Cringe, this is really pathetic on park hae-jin part. Its just lame to redo the same drama because you were not featured enough in it and someone else stole your limelight. He should have quietly backed away and done a new project.
  Park Ki Woong is a really good actor. Is PHJ going to hold a grudge against him when he too inevitably steals the limelight? Isn't the whole thing a case of sour grapes? Oh well best of luck to him. Hope its a success, not many actors get the chance to redo a project.

  • Do you even have evidence that PHJ is holding a grudge against someone or is that a story you are making up in your head?

• Park Ki Woong and Yoo In Young will steal the thunder from the leads.They are both way stronger actors than Park Hae Jin and Oh Yeon Seo.

  Good on PHJ if this movie succeeds but its gonna be so embarassing if it flops.I am also of the opinion that he should have just let this project go, and focus on promoting his upcoming drama.

• Who will pay to watch these overaged college students? Cringe cringe ?

  • I think that PHJ has a lot chinese fans... And everyone who didn't like the drama, I guess :p

    • yes I agree PHJ has a lot of Chinese fans. Is this movie showing in China? just wondering if China shows SK movies in theatres (?THAAD)... pardon my ignorance as I don't live there...

    • I'm Swiss so I'm ignorant too :p

      But I read that things were getting better between Korea and China since november. But I don't know if the movie will be show in chinese theatres but maybe chinese tourists will see in korean theatre :p

    • there are a lot less Chinese tourists in SK now.... I travelled to Seoul last year and certainly no big Chinese tour groups in stores anymore. I heard that the Chinese bans organizing tours to SK... Actually good for other tourists coz we have more space to walk around... hee hee...

    • My recall about the movie is that the Chinese fans went ballistic at how the drama went. For those fans and because the writer wanted to, PHJ agreed to do the movie. This all started before THAAD. For them to release it now, they either just want to get it out there or things have eased a bit with China. I have never believed that this movie was primarily for the Korean fans of the drama which doesn't really make sense.

      Anyway, that's my recall. I've seen several C-dramas that have also been made into movies and I don't quite get it. They do this with 40 episode dramas and mash it together in a 2 hour movie.

    • "doesn't make sense" What I meant was because the Korean fans have no doubt moved on.

    • Thanks Kat for explaining the history of why a movie was produced... too bad the political situation has changed & actors have aged. Hope PHJ can reclaim himself, he is a good actor.

• I can’t really comment about the movie yet but PHJ did an awful job in the drama. Probably not totally his fault. It was probably because the character was badly written.

• I am really excited about this movie coming out. The way the drama production screwed SoonYi over was heart breaking. My best friend is a writer and I could never be able to watch rich people give her false promises and completely ruin her vision. Honestly they had no artistic integrity. I guess that how things work in the business world.

  The beauty of this movie is all about second chances. SoonYi finally gets a true representation of her work and her vision that she was robbed of by the drama.
  PHJ is able to portray the role he was promised. I dont see how that can be seen as pathetic.

  I understand critical analysis but to bash an actor simply because you dont like him is unnecessarily cruel.
  PHJ never spoke a mean word about his fellow actor. He only spoke up for what he felt was his injustice. Even then after the drama finished airing everyone went their own ways and their careers have been doing well.
  He is not hurting anyone by replaying this role. He certainly has the freedom to do whatever makes him happy. It is sad that people can actually find fault with that.

• I was a fan of the drama before the PD started crushing on SKJ and reducing the male lead's screentime. I actually went and read the webtoon after it and I have to say, Oh Yeon Seo is 100% synched with Hong Seol. I want to watch the movie for her. *-*
