The story for Cheese in the Trap was extremely interesting and brought so many unique spins, turns and ideas, even though it did diverge from the manhwa. However, I did have some problems with the story-line. First of all, like I mentioned in the previous paragraph, Yoo Jung's relationship with Hong Seol didn't feel as strong as hers with Baek In Ho - it felt awkward and forced, and that's not how relationships should be like. Maybe to start with, but it should have gotten better after a few weeks. And no couple have that many arguments and disagreements in that short space of time. Secondly, all the issues with Son Min Soo, Oh Young Gon and Baek In Ha were dragged out too much in my opinion and should be dealt with better. More screen time should have been left for the main characters.
The acting was absolutely superb, I would not exchange a single actor for someone else. I was skeptical of Seo Kang Joon after hearing some complaints from other users, but I absolutely loved him and his acting - In Ho was my favourite character of the series. He's definitely on my list of actors to watch out for. I now also love Kim Go Eun and Nam Joo Hyuk so much.
The music is great to listen to. If you put the entire soundtrack on a playlist and listen through it, you'll most likely not skip any of the tracks. I absolutely love all of Part 4 from the OST, since acoustic tunes just serenade with me so well. The only problem I have with the soundtrack is that since the plot is the main standout of the series, the music is faded into the background.
I would definitely rewatch Cheese in the Trap any time.
Overall, despite my issues with the story, this drama is a definite watch for lovers of drama and psychological series'. It's perfect even.

The music was the best I've heard so far. The acting was truly amazing and the cast had actual human like characters, development and emotions. And the story was so complicated, well thought out and exciting from beginning to end.
Why was it the worst drama ever then? Because every character that I liked died. And not just in a 'this actually makes sense in the story' kind of way, but in a horrible, meaningless kind of way to create some drama and 'plot twists'. Seriously, I was so invested in this drama and fell in love with the complex characters, only to see them die one by one. I'm normally a quite stable person, but this drama literally left me heart broken and you could say maybe even depressed. So if you get shaken easily or get really invested in the characters of a drama, please, save yourself the heartache and mental distress of this drama. I'm a broken person now, hoping to recover soon.

The drama consistently messed with my brain and I had to go read detailed recaps after each episode because I always missed a detail here and there (because details are so important to notice in this drama). It's not an easy watch and you really have to pay attention in order to enjoy this drama. I also recommend widening your drama scope (I had to!) so you can brush aside all the preconceived notions you might have had about dramas. This drama borders on two parallel worlds within the characters so it might be a little hard to digest in the beginning. After 3 episodes, I got more into the drama.
Many of the characters weren't likable but I guess that's what this drama aimed at: to show the flaws of human nature, and to allow the audience to understand a bit more about mental illnesses, which is a taboo topic in many Asian countries. I have never watched any of the actors/actresses before but I have no complaints. They were all seasoned actors and the leads, Jo In Sung (Jae Yeol) and Gong Hyo Jin (Hae Soo) were both amazing in their portrayal of their emotions.
I don't think I would re-watch this because a lot of it was discovery and wouldn't be as surprising in second watch. I appreciated that this drama tried to tackle mental illnesses. Even though it may not always be medically accurate, it was still a drama that shined a positive light on mental illnesses that is very encouraging. Most importantly, this drama contained a lot of heart. I wholeheartedly recommend this drama but only if you're in the mood for a quirky romance that is about embracing one another no matter the flaws. 9/9.25

The acting was decent, and the lead girl pulled off looking and acting like a boy pretty well. Much better than some other actresses have done in the same type of role. There were many funny moments as well as couple of rather serious moments, too but I found everything fit really well.
All in all, I would recommend this drama to anyone looking for a light hearted, fun drama.

The story isn't something that we haven't seen before, but it's well told. The first episode was fantastic but, sadly, the next few episodes don't live up to it. The second half is much more entertaining. As always, Sakamoto-sensei's dialogues are beautiful, and he's arguably the top screenwriter in Japan.
Most of the cast was great. Takahata Mitsuki's performance was probably the best, specially in the forth and fifth episodes. But I also need to comment on Arimura Kasumi's acting. I really don't understand why people dislike her so much. She did a GREAT job in this drama, she's probably the best after Takahata. Anyone who has seen this and Biri Gal knows that she's a pretty good actress when she has the right projects. Kora Kengo and Nishijima Takahiro were good too. I was really sad about Sakaguchi Kentaro and Morikawa Aoi, because most of their scenes felt like filler material, and they really didn't have much to do beside a few great scenes.
The music was solid, but not extraordinary or anything.
Overall, I think this is one of Sakamoto-sensei's weakeast dramas so far, but it's still better than most of the romantic dramas released nowadays, I recommend it to those looking for a slightly bittersweet slice-of-life romantic drama.

That aside , the cast is GREAT. Even though the characters they played are irritating, they did an amazing job conveying their emotions and feelings.
Overall , I really didn't enjoy this drama , but rather, I kept wishing for it to end or at least for something interesting to happen and I was highly disappointed.
If you're really new to dramas you might enjoy this, if not It's better not to watch this.

I really liked the cast but the screenwriters ruined the main characters and I couldn't even catch a glimpse of the webtoon's Seol and Jung. It got on my nerves but differently than all the people I've seen so far I don't blame the actors. (Yes, some people blame the actors for reading their lines!) After all they just portray what's given to them.
I love piano. Say whatever you want but those parts didn't bother me at all. On the contrary, Baek In Ho was a nice character that I really enjoyed watching. I hardly ever jump on ships by the way, but I jumped on this one. I would have liked this ship to sail simply to have something different once in a while, not always the usual fighting-hating-blindy in love thing.
After losing my interest completely because in my opinion not even Baek In Ho could have saved this drama (or could he?) I dropped it and haven't seen a drama since because it put me in a slump. So annoyed!

Story: I felt some spots in the story were weaker than others Which is why I gave it an 9, but overall it's pretty good. Watching Tomoya's character try and find love with all the wrong women is bust out loud laughing hilarious. As mean as it sounds watching him fall for women and watching him get rejected by them is equally great. Even though the premise is a bit repetitive the writers find ways to change it enough each time so as not to make it plain boring to see over and over, as every episode he falls in love and is rejected in the end. Honestly I just couldn't wait to see in every episode how our love scorn hero was going to confess his love and then be rejected next. The Plot is ridiculous and I loved just about every second of it.
Acting: Tomoya is as I have previously stated, amazing. The other actors were very good as well, but Tomoya stands out far ahead of the others. Despite there being some great characters in this show, namely Unubore's father played by Nishida Toshiyuki. The back in forth between him in Tomoya's Character as father and son is just hilarious. Nothing says fatherly love like a father using all the most intimate details of your life to turn a profit.
Music: There wasn't anything that made me want to rip my hair out every time I heard it, so it was good. I also loved the confession song and the rejection song, they were really good picks.
Rewatch: Definitely! It's already become one of my favorite dramas.
Overall The story of the love scorn detective falling for all the bad girls is hilarious, but also has a lot of heart. As despite these women's crimes they are forgiven by Unubore and at first you feel it is because he's a bit of a love scorn moron, but really it's because he sees them not for who they had become but instead who they really are... good women who just made the wrong life choices. Okay, so maybe one or two were just horrible people, but the rest just made bad choices. I hope if you read my review and decide to watch it, you enjoy it as much as I did.

I like how the drama was formatted that the audience could choose who the female lead should choose. It was very interactive. Too bad is was just 7 episodes. It would have done well if it was like a 16 episode web drama. I recommend this web drama to anyone is looking for a sweet, cheesy high school drama to kill spring break time or anything~

I also had a pleasant surprise with the others boys' acting, too:
Ro Woon could be an actor, nobody would say he was an idol, lol, he has the voice, the face, the height and is a good actor.
Da Won, even though his part isn't between the ones I liked, he did a great job.
Ju Ho, man, this guy looks like he came out of an anime, his hair is the coolest thing ever, plus his ending was very nice, he looked like a bad guy, but actually was a sweetheart.
Now my baby Chani, man, this boy can act, ever since he played Dong Joo in "Can you hear my heart ?" this boy won my heart. His part was my favorite, but what I loved the most was that he was part of every other end, lol, he was always there for her, so their ending for me was the most realistic.

kwon mi na is always misunderstood as a person who brings bad luck to ones around. while she is having hard time to socialise, we find these guys showing interest towards her.
now the viewer get chance to play cupid ,bring couple together and leave rest to her. so we get different endings with different guys. and believe me, all endings are good. pretty neat concept. definetly not bad.
music goes well with stories, on the whole, web drama is taken as opportunity to introduce us rookie eyecandy boy dance group. we have sun woo from signal here. acting is also really not bad.
so watch this. its definetly worth your time. and moreover we need not have to deal with second lead syndrome.

On a technical level, the screenwriters’ ability to juggle so many through lines is stunning. Set-ups in early episodes lead to powerful payoffs hours down the line, and little time is wasted, with each scene deepening characterizations, drawing parallels, establishing new conflicts and reinforcing themes. Fictional elements are well integrated with the actual history, and while liberties are certainly taken, this is a much less romanticized world than that of most fusion sageuks. Reality constantly intrudes in all its messy brutality, and show embraces this, refusing to whitewash the actions of its characters. For me, the only misstep was the writers’ attempt to create a grand, overarching mythology running from Queen Seondeok to King Sejong. It felt forced and unnecessary, an in-joke that distracted from the story at hand, and its corresponding secret society was the least convincing aspect of the show.
The directing is initially a bit awkward, but as things progress, the editing calms down and the fabulous ensemble cast takes center stage, riveting in all their flawed, passionate, terrible humanity. Dark but never cynical, violent but never gratuitous, grim but never hopeless, the show cares for all its characters, and it makes you care deeply too. They often lose their battles, but they fight with everything they have, refusing to stop seeking, striving, dreaming. They can’t go on, and yet they do. And because of them, Six Flying Dragons soars.
