Cheese In the Trap

Assalamu'Alaikum & Good day dear readers(^_^)....

Cheese In The Trap by Soon Ki

Today i'll be posting on one of my favourite stories. I've been following a manhwa (korean comic) title Cheese in The Trap by Soon Ki. I really love this manhwa and have been an avid reader since last year. To shorten things up let me lay out the synopsis to you....(Disclamer: I do not own the story. All rights goes to the artist itself).

Hong Sul

Yoo Jung

The story evolves around Hong Sul, a college student who is returning to school after taking a year off. The circumstances of her leave are not immediately clear, but they seem to have to do with an upperclassman, popular senior named Yoo Jung. Not only is he handsome but he has polite manners and is apparently rich. Although all the ladies in the university adores him only Sul did not develop such feelings.

Sul's reaction to Yoo Jung seems awkward at first and she seems to be the only one  immune to the charm that has managed to affect the others. But my guess, she'll end up loving him.. This story then goes through a series of flashbacks that get the main characters relationship progressed. I have to say, this comic really make me drawn into the human behavior and their characteristics. In the manhwa, it is also revealed Yoo Jung had once been cold to her and he also seemed to actively ignore any of Sul's attempts to be friendly. A year after she left the university he gradually becomes friendly.

The first chapter of the story was when sul met a fortune teller that tells her about her fortune. It seems to be her fortune will go bad continuously till next year. after that is at a restaurant where Sul and his friends were having a party and he arrives late. He is popular and loved by the other students, treating them all with apparent kindness. As the night wears on, everyone gets pretty crazy drunk, and Sul goes outside to get a breather. While she's there, she notices Yoo Jung speaking on his phone, telling to whomever he's speaking that they're all "indecent." In other words, his behavior with the group wasn't truthful at all.After a series of flashbacks and problems sul decided to take a year leave from studying.. Sul however suspects that there is definitely something fishy...(want to know more? let's read the comics to find out..;)

Throughout the flashbacks, It occur to me that Yoo Jung is not what he seems to be. The aura that he gives is simply to me, frightening because we do not know what he is thinking and that is on top, scary (o_o). my conclusion,  It seems that something that Jung did made her to take a study leave. 

A year after that, Sul returns to the university in hope to start a fresh new life but...it turns out not what she expect it to be....(((o_o'')))....!!Erk!!

XD...I actually found this pic rather funny..(Sul's Inner thoughts...Say What?!!)

And it's when he gets friendly that things get weird for Sul. Their budding relationship, or at least Yoo Jung's interest in Sul, spreads rumors at school, especially among Yoo Jung's female admirers. When Sul tries to quell the jealousy of one girl, with Sul firmly stating that she has no interest in Yoo Jung, Yoo Jung happens to pop in, reigniting the girl's anger just as Sul was getting through to her. Situations like that should just seem coincidental on their own, but the issue is that they keep happening. And since Yoo Jung isn't really doing too much beyond popping in at suspiciously inopportune moments, Sul has no evidence that anything strange is truly going on. There are also her moments of pure intuition, the times when she feels that there's something really off about Yoo Jung, but that's not exactly what you'd call solid evidence either.

This part is really funny when sul goes back home and wanted to change her class..XD...Argh! there's no way she can escape. just like a cheese in a trap!!

 While there are hints of romance and speculations, This manhwa is definitely interesting and lighthearted and that's what makes the carefully scripted suspense all the more interesting, at times even thrilling. While there are the past and present chapter, marked by white and black backgrounds respectively, both move in time at seemingly different rates, or don't follow a clear order. As the past narrative is necessarily fragmented to facilitate the mystery of the story, it's sometimes hard to know just when certain past events happened in relation to the present narrative, or even with each other. Perhaps this fragmented method is more effective if you're reading the comic from week to week, even if it can be difficult to follow at times. Overall, the story is the best one yet and i hope they will do a drama about it(o.o,)...

Here are the related characters besides these two. You may be wondering who is the blond guy in the first picture. Well, you have to read the story in order to know who it is...he is also one of my favourite characters. SPOILER ALERT!! he has something to do with Jung's past..(O_O)...and he seems to be interested with our dear sul. I also added a few pictures from the manhwa..enjoy.. ;)

Who Is he? (>.O,)...

This woman seems to have connections with Jung and the guy above...( HINT = she is an admire of Jung)

What happened? more suspense! ((((O_O)))....
