I have watched a lot of dramas over my life time, and Cheese In the Trap was the most... peculiar one yet.
To this day, I do not completely understand the ending or completely satisfied with the ending either because there was MAJOR second-lead syndrome through the drama. If you ask all of the viewers of this drama, at least 70% will agree that the second lead, Seo Kang-joon was DEFINITELY better for the main female lead, Kim Go-eun.
Putting that aside, the story overall was cute, sometimes a little confusing on what the main male lead is thinking about and to this day, I am still having second-thoughts on whether or not the main male lead, Park Hae-jin, really liked Kim Go-eun :\\\ But the cute awkward moments between them were adorable and the moments when Park Hae-jin and Kang-joon would protect Kim Go-eun were the classic "damsel in distress", but still made my heart flutter <3 :))
After Park Hae-jin and Kim Go-eun broke up and went their separate ways, it kind of left me at a loss. When the drama ended, I never completely understood what REALLY happened and what the read messages at the end really meant. But... oh well.
I did like how Seo Kang-joon and his sister, Lee Sung-kyung, came together and Kang-joon was able to make his dreams come true of playing the piano.
The first part was very mysterious and it pulled me in on who each of these characters are, especially Park Hae-jin. Then during the last part of the drama, it kind of... dragged? I could say? I don't know for sure.
What I DO know for sure is that: SEO KANG-JOON DESERVED KIM GO-EUN!!! I realllyyyy wanted them to be together because they are PERFECT for each other, but I guess Park Hae-jin's okay :\\\
I did rewatch this drama multiple times since the plot wasn't very memorable and I wasn't able to remember every single plot line.
OVERALL: I would recommend the dramas to only specific people, but to the ones who want a sturdy plot, I think it's best to stay away from this drama, or just watch quick clips of it :)
