Initial thoughts: " I like it. "
I wasn't sure I would, given the excessive buzz and weighty expectations, which always seemed to me to be overblown, although maybe that's because I wasn't part of the webtoon's fervent fanbase. But given that it didn't have multiple drama versions or anime seasons or a particularly long history (the webtoon began running in 2010), I didn't quite understand the volume of media noise about this show, or how Cheese in the Trap had drawn as much attention and scrutiny as franchises like Boys Before Flowers or Nodame Cantabile.
Ultimately, though, I'm watching this show as a drama, so it needs to work as a drama. So far, I think it does. Casting feels spot-on, the characters are enjoyable, and the show gives the rom-com genre a few tweaks, coming up with a vibe that feels interesting and fresh.
