db, his agency just released a statement that he declines.

I'm torn. He really is the best Jung the adaptation can get. But on the other hand I wanna tell him to stay away from any cheese....

but he's the perfect 3D JUNG... I'm so sad he's declined.

#dilemma

I'd decline if I were him. Frankly, the risk is too high.

Walk away. Start fresh with a dffrnt gente and character altogether. He deserves that

Oh god, decline, decline! This is a no-win situation. It's way too soon, he was already right at the top of plausible age ranges, the rest of the cast likely wouldn't be there, nightmare scenario.

The amount of public sympathy he's got right now means he can do pretty much anything he wants, and there is absolutely no need for him to return to the role. He has much, much brighter prospects.

*genre

He should decline. Disregarding the obvious reasons such as how the drama ended on a sour note, and that he's already done the same character, there's still the problem of condensing everything into 2 hours, which I don't believe is possible. I'm not big on CitT as a source material anyway. Drama maybe but the plot is way too bland for a movie.

Kinda ot but can people cool it with the rampant webtoon adaptations, like do scriptwriters not have original ideas for dramas anymore, or can production companies take more chances on original plots as opposed to these constant adaptations?

Also, CITT didn't even have a compelling enough plot for a drama, much less a movie people have to pay to go see.

But, I guess I am looking forward to seeing the Fashion King realness with this one.

I usually dislike movie, but if both Soonki participated fully and Park Hae Jin reprise the role.. I'm in.

While Kim Go Eun and Seo Kang Joon did a good job on the role, I don't mind if the choose another actors.

Apparently soonkie is only going to sign on if PHJ is the one who plays Jung. Please just walk away. This is a mess waiting to happen. It's way too soon. Pleaseeee, I'm pleading. Say no. Please. Just concentrate on your next drama.

They should make the movie version a straight-up thriller instead of a romcom.

I'm still bitter and disappointed and thought what a lost opportunity. They could of had a spin off with the Baek sibling story line. Maybe they will do the movie where it starts where the show ended similar to how they did 2 movie specials with no dame. The best franchise ever. If only the Korean version didn't get so messed up.

I'll hope for the best and expect the worst regardless of what happens.

heajin, soonki or whoever 'injured' in citt should just decline and walk out. whats the use?

if i were him, i would accept just to be able to get some closure. but it's more practical that he doesn't. i hope they only extend offers to him and no one else from the drama, especially not kim go eun. my opinion of her dropped after that one post she made which implied she was criticizing park hae jin for voicing his discontent.

If they decide with the original cast then showing what happened after would be great, if there's an entire new cast (with or without PHJ) then we'll get a remake instead?

A big No, don't wanna be burn twice.. is all I am saying. .

There is an old Chinese saying "a good horse does not eat old grass ". so for the love of mankind, or for the sake of dramafans, PHJ Oppa:

Just (don't) do it.

I'm not even sure if this is a good idea or a bad idea?

1. The drama casting was great because of the bond they'd share. I doubt the whole cast will be included.

2. It's too soon for a Movie adaptation. You can clearly see they want money from PHJ because he's popularity skyrocketed even if the drama went downhill.

3. I'm not even sure if I will give this a try.

I'm in a dilemma too. On one hand, I want him to decline because it could be a stinker, especially if the female lead is not Kim Go Eun. Can't imagine anyone else in this role. On the other hand, I don't want another actor to butcher the perfect Jung that was chararacterized by PHJ....

I'm still bitter over the drama. It could have been PERFECT.

I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about this (and almost thought it wasn't true when I first saw the news, because I just did not think this would ever happen!), but if it does... I really liked Kim Go Eun as well as Seol and many of the other cast members - I'm not sure how to feel about changing around the cast for this movie, particularly when so many of them did such a great job in the drama (Park Hae Jin included, of course). I know that it's good to have change and to include new people but I wonder how much that would change the overall atmosphere and persona that was created by the cast in the drama, that really give CITT its flavour and charm.

That being said, as much as I loved Cheese in the Trap (yes, was disappointed with the last few episodes and the ending, and the later half development in some areas), do they need to make it into a movie? Is that too much? There's definitely two sides to it - either re-make it into a movie and (maybe?) rectify some of the unclear/unexplained bits in the drama, or re-making it won't add much since there was quite a bit that wasn't fully explained in the drama anyway. I don't know... I guess we shall see what happens. I'm still so surprised that this might be a thing though!

I think it's too soon..

A refreshing conclusion/ending is all I want if this happens..

Meanwhile, the tVN drama I really want to have a movie version (aside from Season 2) is Signal ..

I loved A101 and I've read mostly positive reviews for Inside Men so clearly this producer knows how to pick good (and B.O. successful) projects, not to mention movie crews. My interest is piqued.

I'm having mixed feelings about a movie version of Cheese in the Trap.. Shall see whether Park Hae Jin is taking up this offer or not first.

What are they thinking? ! If Park Hae Jin does this movie, it will be only for his mental satisfaction to play Jung once properly. There is no need for this, just turn it down. Romcom movies never make that much money in Korea anyway.

Agree with most of you here, NO to this project please. Let that stay in the past. Besides, Park Hae Jin already won Best Actor award for CITT in the recent cable tv awards, let that be his closure.

Maybe Soongki was really dismayed with how they trashed her work that she was even considering a movie version and quite too soon after that whole CITT debacle.

Idk why I feel like I better not to hear this news,
I mean do they have enough material or they gonna make it like the drama special version ?
and I don't think it's good for PHJ to accept the offer,

okay, so I'm torn! I want him to take it but at the same time I don't! For me, he's the only one who could really pull off Jung, he is the only Jung, without a him a CITT adaptation will NOT be the same! but after what he went through and all of BTS controversies, I don't know!

I love Park Hae Jin, and I'll be watching whatever he's in, I just want what is best for him!

I don't agree that CITT went downhill because Jung wasn't given much exposure. CITT went downhill at ep 15 and 16 when the production team tried to salvage the drama by listening to PHJ fans than standing by their creative plan. Instead of taking control of the creativity, the production allowed to be taken controlled.

Why some people can't admit that BIH was a better and more interesting character than Jung? Why some people can't admit than SKJ had shown better performance in that drama than PHJ.

If I were PHJ, instead of being bitter about the CITT fiasco, I would rather objectively evaluate what went wrong, learn, move on and make sure to choose a better project.

Reprising the 'Jung' character would be a suicide in his career. He should move on and choose better roles.
