Cheese in the Trap is one of those dramas I didn't expect to like as much as I do now. This drama approaches an unique way of portraying college life and what I love most about the drama is how every character in the show has a flaw in one way or another. This is refreshing to see because it can be tiring to see the main characters being absolutely perfect while the rest of the characters act unreasonably with almost no redeemable qualities to them. I also love the pacing of the show and how it didn't drag the scenes in an unnecessary way.

While I love the realistic nature of the show, I think the biggest issue with the show is the character development throughout the show rather than the ending. I do think the ending left me unsatisfied, but I don't think it was the worst part of the show. Throughout the show, Hong Seol and Yoo Jung as a couple was quite odd to me. The weirdness of their relationship was entertaining and I was intrigued to see how their relationship would progress, but I was left disappointed towards the end of the show. Hong Seol was always angry with Yoo Jung because of his inability to be more open to her. Every fight they have is just her being mad at him for not being honest. Because of this, I expected him to be more honest with her. However, towards the latter part of the show Hong Seol just gives up and Yoo Jung continues his way of being passive aggressive with everyone. I also disliked In Ha. I wished she had better character development because towards the end the show dismisses her selfish behavior instead of evolving her to be more mature.

Overall, the show was good and I would recommend to watch the drama. I would say the beginning of the drama is way better than the latter part. Most of my disappointment is due to the potential I see in this drama. If they fleshed out the characters more in the latter part of the drama, I believe it wouldn't have left me on an unsatisfied note.
