Cheese in the Trap Season 1

Having returned to college after a year long break, Hong Sul, a hard-working over-achiever, inadvertently got on the wrong side of a suspiciously perfect senior named Yu Jeong. From then on her life took a turn for the worse and Sul was almost certain it was all Yu Jeong's doing. So why is he suddenly acting so friendly a year later?

Deep psychological dive into relationships.
Uncovering the consequences of one´s actions.
Finding the way to understand each other.

This will be a review of the whole series. No spoilers, don´t worry.

When I finished reading this series I felt a void in my heart. A gap, that won´t be filled with any other manga. I´m confident to say that this one of the best manga/comics about relationships, ever. The suspense makes it even more enjoyable. If you´ve already seen the K-drama... to be honest, prepare yourself to discover a whole new series. The TV drama didn´t do comics any good. It didn´t touch on the one of the most ...

After re reading this manhwa at different stages of my life , it hits harder each time. I have never seen any manhwa capture the nuances of an ordinary life so well and portray it so interestingly. The manhwa is really about a college going student Seoul and her journey from her university life to graduation and navigating life.

Story 8/10: Nothing too complex but there's a lot of flashbacks which can be too much but these are essential to the story. The author has really thought out the entirety of the story from day one; seeds are planted in the first season itself which ... come to fruition in the last season. The story is not that dramatized which I appreciate , and I feel like everyone comes across characters like Seoul. The romance tag is justified but we are not bombarded with only scenes with the love interest. One thing i appreciate is that even though there are hints of another love interest its not shown as a 'love triangle' and (I think) the author makes sure that we do not get misled with that.

Art 8/10: The art is simplistic and you can see it improving over the years greatly, it goes really well with the story and theme. It captured the character's emotions perfectly in my opinion, which is impressive considering how minimal the art is. And the Manhwa is colored is so its a bonus.

Character 10/10: This is probably the best part of this Manhwa , the characters. each and every one of them are exceptional- the main characters, the side characters and even the 'antagonists' were all interesting and fleshed out. Instead of the characters feeling like tropes stitched together, they feel like actual people with well rounded personalities.
I liked the portrayals of relationships here, whether it be friendships, lovers , or family is realistic. The dynamics played between the main characters family or friends is exceptional.

Enjoyment 10/10: This series was a page turner for me , and even though I am not fan of manhwas/manga/comics having too many chapters , it was thoroughly enjoyable to read. Every time i read it, I cannot put it down.

Overall 9/10: This series is peak slice of life, it literally feels like we are in the journey of Seoul's hard and tough life. The characters are personable and relatable. The target audience who will really relate to this are college students and it hits hard. Instead of Seoul being a genius who knows everything without us being shown how she knows everything, it really is amusing to see how her studies and academics consumes her life and can suffocate her without this being shown as something over the top.

Preliminary (98/27 eps)

This is actually my first review, so don't expect much.

I'm not really a big fan of mystery, but this one takes the cake...or something.

Almost the whole story is being told by Hong Sul, the main character's point of view. The things she encounters, the trouble she goes through and the people she meets. There isn't any fantasy or anything supernatural in this story, yet it is by far one of the best things I have read.

Give this try, even if you're thinking it'll be boring. In the end, It doesn't hurt to try does it? I actually thought about not reading this at first, ...
