The WTF-ery of the Cheese in the Trap production team apparently refuses to stop even after the drama’s finished airing. One would think the production would do everything possible to avoid further uproar with anything involving male lead Park Hae Jin, but alas that line of thinking appears to be wishful and completely out of reach of an increasingly bizarre … Continue reading →
There are way worse things, even solely within the entertainment industry, than to have decreased screen time in a drama. I’m not as invested in the Cheese in the Trap meltdown since I stopped watching midway, but I think fans and audience members should consider taking a step back after fully venting and not keep the fanning the flames. The … Continue reading →
The epic meltdown that is Cheese in the Trap, both the recent drama story line and the behind-the-scenes mess, appears to have reached a conclusion. It’s probably the best and only thing that can happen to try and salvage the understandable audience frustration and fan anger over what has been one of the most glaring narrative shifts mid-drama that I … Continue reading →
Hoo boy, things are looking progressively more dire on the set of tvN drama Cheese in the Trap, which is actually ending soon but the drama offscreen is threatening to end things on a down note. The drama was super buzzy early on when casting since it’s based on a popular webtoon, and the early episodes premiered to great audience … Continue reading →
The first weekend of January in the new year 2016 is almost at an end, which means new tvN Mon-Tues drama Cheese in the Trap will have its long awaited premiere on January 4th. I’ve only recently ratcheted my excitement up from curiosity to anticipation thanks to a very interesting long five minute preview. All the leads are showcased in … Continue reading →
It feels a bit like a ball, all that attention on the casting of upcoming tvN drama Cheese in the Trap, and then seemingly less attention now that it’s filming and releasing promos and previews. It’s not a bad thing necessarily, dial down the hype a bit so the end product doesn’t have unrealistic and towering expectations to meet. The … Continue reading →
The switch has just flipped for me with respect to upcoming tvN Mon-Tues drama Cheese in the Trap. This drama got tons of early publicity thanks to the casting carousel, and it will soon validate whether the final cast was all suitably selected, but for now all eyes trained on tvN are on the Fri-Sat hit drama that is Answer … Continue reading →
I’m loving the expressive and colorful promos for upcoming tvN drama Cheese in the Trap. The latest OTP poster mixes canary yellow with a light aubergine to create a really eye catching visual pop. Even better are the expressions on leads Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun‘s face, nicely conveying the dynamic of the two characters in the drama. … Continue reading →
The countdown has begun for upcoming tvN drama adaptation of popular webtoon Cheese in the Trap. I’m a huge manga fan since childhood but the dawn of webtoons in the last decade or so has mostly eluded me. That’s why I haven’t read Cheese in the Trap and don’t plan to because I really like the cast and would love … Continue reading →
Things are looking up for tvN on its current Fri-Sat time slot with Answer Me 1988, but the same stickiness quotient and buzz doesn’t seem to be there for the Mon-Tues offering Bubblegum. I’m banking both for the holidays when I have more time, but it feels like the Mon-Tues slot in general doesn’t get as much interest for the … Continue reading →
The first drama poster for Cheese in the Trap is an effortless breath of fresh air. Looking at it makes me feel cleansed, like so much manufactured connections and narrative tropes are washed away in the candid snap of leads Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun in a moment of drama production joy. The drama was followed closely during … Continue reading →
All eyes will be on upcoming tvN drama Answer Me 1988 as it premieres next week on November 6th. The cable network continues to churn out critical and popular dramas, most recently with Oh My Ghost and Second Time Twenty Years Ago, and AM1988 itself has two big shoes to fill with its predecessors Answer Me 1997 and Answer Me … Continue reading →
This has been an uneventful year in dramas for me, and it’s hard to wrap my head around the year ending soon and already K-ent pundits are looking towards 2016 for discussion fodder. The network that has been getting killed in prime time ratings for the last two years is actually garnering the most interest thanks to the one-two-three leading … Continue reading →
