baby cheese

Just so stifle my curiosity, anyone hating on Cheese in the trap yet? And why? x) Personally, I love it but would be fun to read some other opinions other than praising.

Haha, I could be one those haters that you mention ;) no, but seriously, if I dislike one drama then I don't usually see why I should waste my time commenting on it - so no hateful lurking here at all, promise.

But to share my opinion with the crowds: I really liked the beginnings and premises of 'you who came from the stars' as well as 'the master's sun' but halfway through both of these dramas started to feel kinda "meh" to me as the leads weren't as relatable anymore - I just couldn't see any realistic grounds in their actions. I think that I fast forwarded the last two episodes of 'you who came from the stars' just to actually see the end of his mysterious existence and never actually finished 'the master's sun' (come on, is that how two grown up people behave?). And I found myself thinking the same for the korean version of 'boys over flowers' and 'she was pretty' amongst others, I just couldn't make myself finish them. I mean there are a lot of dramas I've watched for the silliness of it (e.g. hana kimi or you're beautiful) so it's not that, but when an actually original premise turns out to be something else entirely halfway through and with a couple loose ends to boot, well, then imma probably drop it. For me it's more like setting a tone for a drama (whatever that might be) and then actually fulfilling it. It's kinda odd that the worry over drama writers' quality/competence/insightfulness (this can be rather subjective too I guess) can keep me on my toes as much as a good storyline. But the important part is that the beauty is in the eye of the beholder, everyone sees different values in many different things.

But I really did love 'reply 1997', it was the thing you disliked that actually charmed me - their daily lives made me feel rather nostalgic.

OMG this is so dramatic, like every action taken needs loud music and slowmo frowny faces :D :D

Good point there @darkn3ss

I saw a couple of episodes of orange marmalade but never got really into it, read also a couple of reviews & recaps of some episodes and felt kinda "wtf, did they go back in time or what??" so now it's even harder to get back to it - didn't know it was a manga adaption :o

BUT we shall hope for the best for Cheese in the trap, really excited for the next episode this week :D

I feel you! I just can't finish this drama at all…

I actually did notice him in you who came from the stars… and been on a look out for him ever since ;)

Just started watching this drama and omg it's hilarious, thought it would be depressing and angsty judged by the posters and all that, but so far so good. Dreading the more serious parts/plots to come.

Edit: The humor lasted only for one episode but I'm not giving up.

Honestly, I wouldn't say that I thought about their age right off the bat, but PHJ does look a bit older than the others, which actually made me look into all of their age especially since I've seen PHJ in other dramas where I guess he's suppose to portray characters a bit more his age (lol, would've been fun if the character he plays in Bad Guys is like the older version of Yoo Jung with all the speculation I've read on his psychotic traits) and then KSJ acts a bit bratty with charming cuteness which makes him seem a bit younger in my eyes. Nevertheless, I enjoy their acting - thought it was fun that someone else noticed and commented on how old PHJ actually is (32 huah!).

This is definitely one of the better dramas I've seen and really enjoyed in a long time so I really hope the intriguing storyline won't recede into nothing - heard that the webtoon isn't even finished yet so can we actually hope for a reasonable ending?

Interesting. I noted that too, but for me it's not that PHJ would be too old for college (where I'm from a lot of people don't go to college until their middle/bordering on late twenties since many like to travel or hold a couple of fun/odd jobs and PHJ can easily pass as 28 or somewhere below 30) but sadly that the love triangle will seem uneven, I guess, and not as interesting for me - both of the guys are too far apart to be even considered rivals imho, it's like a kid sibling trying to rile up his big brother. I would have liked an older guy for the second lead instead of the other way around, no second lead feels here at all actually ;) But this drama is really entertaining so hopefully there's going to be something to make up for this some way.

I thought that this drama had similar vibes to "Ho Goo's love" in sense of pacing and the characters having their own prominent personalities. There's a type of mystery/issue involved as well.

Haha hobo style <3

Refreshing drama!!

Really really love Hyun Bin in this drama, but the storyline is a mess and at its best a little wobbly. Just watched ep. 11 and there's still 9 eps to go, makes me kinda wonder what those will be about…is it even possible to squeeze in even more bland or over imaginative plot into what's already been served?

and cue the really loud screaming/heartbreaking singing…made me cringe every time.

Really like this drama, didn't expect it to be so entertaining (don't usually like chinese dramas for some reason), at least so far. Also, like the horror-ish bits. Fab.

Omo, everything is so dramatic! I just hope they will not go overboard with it and make this drama into a self-parody.

I really like this drama but now as I am on ep. 12, I kinda can't stand how unreal and even more silly it's starting to be with the plot twist upon twist. I understand the darker, underlying theme here but seriously, come on, they all (both the kids but also the baddies) just keep going to school as if it's some kind of safe ground while the secret is out in the open (and I know, after ep. 12 it is now wholly revealed but just can' watch this anymore). It feels a bit unrealistic that the antagonists just let them run around like that or that the kids are not afraid at all after seeing all the corruption. Anyhow, I will need to take a break from this drama but would really like to know if it goes back to being more serious - please advise :) because I really loved the first 8-10 episodes but then it just became full of silly running around and spontaneous break ins.

I am on eisode 42 and just started wondering about that too, many lines sound like some kind abstract description of modern art or something.

I really liked the romance in this drama, they kind of made a thing out of resolving the misunderstandings as it might've been done out in the real world, but the whole granny-side plot and the bad ethics of a professional psychologist made this drama rather unrealistically blind to all consequences which might have followed this kind of actions. Still, it was an enjoyable watch even if I had to cringe each time the granny came on.
