Wow, wow, wow. Perhaps I'm giving ''Trap'' a higher rating than it deserves, but I'm doing it for one specific reason - it is different. You know how a lot of thrillers are very similar, even though written and executed well, it's always pretty much the same - trying to find out who's the killer, plot twist, possibly catching the killer (who's most likely a serial killer). Plots like this ar often very interesting to watch, but despite this fact, they don't leave a big impression. ''Trap'', however, felt very refreshing. It is definitely something unique and unforgettable.

I am a big fan of psychological thrillers and out of everything I've watched so far, I think ''Trap'' did the best job when it comes to mixing these two favourite genres of mine. We have a very complex character(s) and extremely shocking and quite unpredictable storyline. I must say that I had a feeling about the plot twist since the first episode, but honestly, the whole truth was so freaking drepressing. The drama explores the darkest side of humankind to the point that it actually became a torture to watch. It just felt so uncomfortable to watch a person having no single feeling with such twisted mind... It was just horrible. I can't describe the feeling, it was just dark.

Now, I won't talk about the main lead at all, but I'll mention how AMAZING job Lee Seo Jin did at portraying him! I've seen him in variaty shows and he has such a cool personality and watching him acting was completely new to me, but he is such a great actor! I'm totally impressed with him. Of course, Sung Dong Il was good, too (he has been playing this type of character since forever lol).

As I see and completely understand, the ending disappointed a lot of people, incuding myself. I think they could have given a better closure to the story, the final episode felt too rushed and some things were left unexplained. I guess there's a possibility of a second season? I'm not sure about that though.

Overall, I recommend ''Trap'' to everyone who likes thrillers, especially psychological thrillers. I believe ''Trap'' is an amazing show that just deserved a better ending. But yeah, it will be very hard for me to forget what happened in the drama, it left such a bittersweet taste in my mouth and I feel like the name Kang Woo Hyun will haunt me forever lol.

P.S: I really love the title of the drama! That was one hell of a trap!
