Park Hae-jin has stolen viewers’ hearts in his mysterious yet charming role in the new tvN drama “Cheese in the Trap.”

The webtoon-based drama is already making waves since it began Monday thanks to its its strong plot and fully fleshed-out characters that faithfully follow the original webtoon.

In the drama, Park takes on the complex character of Yoo Jung, an affluent college senior who is kind and caring on the outside, but manipulative and egocentric on the inside.

On the second episode, which aired Tuesday, Jung and female protagonist Hong Seol (Kim Go-eun) slowly become close to each other as Jung takes care of Seol and helps her in emergency situations.

At first, Seol saw through Jung’s character and tried her best to avoid him. But now, with his sweet gestures and kindness, Seol thinks she may have misunderstood Jung and slowly opens up to him.

“Cheese in the Trap” airs every Monday and Tuesday at 11 p.m. on tvN network.
