Cheese in the Trap (2016)

both are Webtoons and take place in school! The Main Boy Character is a bad/cool boy and the girl is a good actress. I recommend this one 100/10 :-)

Both of these dramas feel very similar: college/university life, social problems, bullying, misunderstandings and betrayals.

They are both set in college campus with a strong female lead and silent, deadly male lead. SO good.

Damn, the vibe is almost same. They both have toxic male lead, worried female lead and plus they both got adapted from popular Naver/webtoon comic sooo... I believe you got the point:)))

while watching BTIMFL, the main couple kept reminding me of cheese in the trap couple. I think they have a similar couple dynamics.

The story of both dramas portrays real life story and characters which are imperfect and every person has his angle of story in their life.

The female and male lead from Weightlifting Fairy both appear as supporting roles in Cheese in the Trap so if you love this actor and actress make sure to watch. I think that Lee Sung Kyung does a great job acting in both roles and it after having seen her in Cheese in the Trap and then seeing her in Weightlifting Fairy I think she is a top rate actress and I really loved her roles. She was over the top crazy in Cheese in the Trap as In Ha and she is a spunky strong girl as a female lead. Both have great story lines with strong female leads for some girl power and attractive hot male leads.

Both dramas psychological and deal with the deep issues of human nature. We see that both male characters are a mystery at first, and each character has their own battles they must fight. I loved Cheese in the Trap for the most part, but I found that Beautiful Mind far surpasses where CITT fell short, in character development.

The feeling!
the relationship between the leads for both dramas is somewhat similar. They got the pride & prejudice kinda relationship, where the girl always skeptical about the boy's dark character and emotions.

In both dramas ML is rich and FL poor and hardworking. In both dramas ML at first hates FL. In Boys over Flowers characters are high schoolers, Cheese In the Trap is about college life, but the similarity is that they are still studying.

SLS too!!! Seo Kang Joon is the- oops sorry but no spoilers!!!!!........................................................................................................................

The way CITT flows is very similar to that of Pinocchio. I feel it is more story based, gears more on the plot than the romance, where as CITT is more focused on the romance. But both dramas gave me a similar vibe. Not to mention both benefit from attractive main characters ;P

Based on webtoons, both dramas have complex characters with a deeper meaning, layered, revealing a different side each time and it makes the plot even more interesting. The stories are based on university, friendships, relationships, hardship, and simply about life.

The uni arc is similar... Minus the toxic of course.
If Cheese In The Trap had decided to tone it down and not go down the way it did, the result would be the uni arc of Forever Love.
