Cheese in the Trap (Season 1)

"Cheese in the Trap" (2016) is a Korean college drama from cable channel tvN — watch the series online on iFILM. Directed by Lee Yoon-jeong and adapted from Soonkki's widely read webtoon, the show casts Park Hae-jin and Kim Go-eun in its central roles.

Hong Seol is on a scholarship and trying to stay invisible. Yoo Jung is the opposite: wealthy, well-liked, effortlessly perfect. She's the first to notice that his niceness has an edge — that people around him tend to get hurt in ways he can blame on them. The series plays this ambiguity straight rather than resolving it early, and Park Hae-jin makes Yoo Jung genuinely hard to read across all 16 episodes.

Warm enough to work as a rom-com, unsettling enough that it doesn't quite fit the genre. Stream all episodes of "Cheese in the Trap" (2016) online on iFILM.
