Cheese in the Trap



Cheese in the Trap is a Korean Web Comic by Soon Ki that ran from 2010 to 2017.

Hong Sul is an ordinary college student. Yoo Jung is the most popular upperclassman. He's good looking, rich, smart — and even nice. However, Sul thinks there's more to Jung than meets the eye...

The comic can be found officially on English in the WEBTOON site and app, although only the first 16 episodes are available for free. For those who want to see the original Korean version, go here.

It was made into a live-action television series in 2016, and received a film adaptation in 2018.
