So much pressure on her. I am eternally grateful I was too busy to finish the drama as it was airing so I never saw the disaster that the dramas last episodes appear to have been I thoroughly enjoyed the drummer in the beginning so that Mas was really disappointed I am hoping good things for the movie but I can't help think that a movie won't cover all the story in the depth that it deserves really have high hopes for this

Good casting choice but this project seems pointless so soon after the series. I also think PHJ looks too old to play Yoo Jung. I don't care that he looks kinda similar to the webtoon, especially when the character was about 10 years younger.

I would actually want the same cast in the movie,they all acted perfectly as per their roles.though the drama had an open ending,I think it was still a good drama speaking from a viewpoint of a person who hasn't read the webtoon.

So bizarre to have actors casted before the director is brought on board. Can't wait to see who's willing to take on Baek In Ho's role

I can't imagine the pressure on the actor who will be cast to play Baek In Ho. Will people transfer their 'hate' for Seo Kang Joon to the poor chap?

Honestly, I would prefer Park Hae Jin not to do this at all. I don't know why but the whole thing is just weird.

Back to Oh Yeon Seo, I can see her as a good fit for My Sassy Girl or whatever we want to call that drama. She does look a lot like webtoon Seol but somehow I just can't see her as the character. She was very good in Come back Ahjussi so maybe she will work some magic and astound me.

i'm really interested to see how the film turns out. i'll definitely be watching it. i've never read the webtoon, so i'm not sure just how the drama deviated from the original (apart from shifting the focus away from jung and more towards in-ho).

i really liked seo kang-joon as in-ho, but i guess he'll never be cast for the film version. i personally don't know of any reason to hate him for the direction the drama took. it's not like he's an A-list star. just how much influence could he have had in the way things turned out? and as far as i know, he's been silent throughout the whole thing.

in general, i wish public figures (actors and singers specially) would realize that it's probably best to keep silent as much as possible. personally i find that rarely do they improve their images by opening their mouths, and i can't see them or listen to their songs the same way anymore afterwards. at least stay off SNS.

It's difficult to let go of Kim Go Eun as Seol. Although she didnt look the webtoon Seol and made people skeptical initially, she eventually won hearts with her take on seol which is commendable cause she brought something new. Irrespective of her controversy that performance and sincerity towards the character will stay and it's a fact.

Although i m looking forward to the movie for Park Hae Jin reprising his role as Jung and to see a better arc for Jung as a character, my heart sinks when i think of Seol being played by someone else.

Despite it's infamous ending, this show remains one of my favorites thanks to it's first 12 episodes. It was difficult but i sort of did accept the ending. So i'd like the movie to fill in the gaps. I ve not seen oh Yeon seo before but i wish her the best and may she do wonders with Seol

Kim Go-eun as Seol was the only redeemable thing about the Cheese live adaptation.

In any case, the tsunami of remakes which is upon us is slowly destroying the movie industry.

Oh Yeon-seo tends to overact a bit sometimes... I like her, and I feel like her appearance matches Seol, but her acting style isn't. Kim Go-eun nailed it with subtlety in her acting. Well, for the sake of the webtoon finally getting a proper adaptation, i hope she will do good.

By the way, the other day i posted a comment on kkuljaem about how it is ridiculous that people still hate Kim Go-eun after the CitT drama. Like, now people blame her for ruining the drama, say that she doesn't suited the Seol character, and that she's just a bad actress overall. I'd say people who said she's a bad actress must have not seen her other projects... Then someone replied to me as if i'm just a delusioned fan, saying KGE did terrible in her other movies and only decent in Eungyo and Coin Locker Girl. I was baffled. Am i really delulu or people now have set a high standard for acting? I'm not even a KGE fan. lol. Sorry for ranting here.

They should call the movie “Cheese in the Trap - 10 years on...” The two leads are TOO OLD. Would’t it be cringe to see them pull off university? Arghhh I’m staying away for sure.

I just want to be free of this drama.

Let it go PHJ, let it go...

I like her and her face is like Seol, but she doesn't feel like Seol?

For this case, we can talk about the casting all we want but would never feel satisfied because the nightmare of the tv drama is still very fresh. If the movie is made a few more years down the road, people would be less sensitive on who gets the part. I dunno why a show filled with bad memories (both on-air and behind the scenes) is getting a remake. It's like the production is actively looking for trouble.

Curious though if her recent controversial castings would impact Oh Yeon-seo's image. "Casting Killer" is a nicer term for "Role Stealer".

I can't imagine Oh Yeon Seo's overacting style to match with the character of Seol. I think Kim Go Eun's subtlety in approaching the role was more fitting. Even though I gotta admit that she looks visually perfect for the role.

And whoever will be cast for Baek Inho is gonna have an interesting position. Will the hate for Seo Kang Joon transfer with the role or are people generally fed up with the piano?

but oh yeon seo is old...i know PHJ is old too, but KGE kinda balanced it out (lol). i know its only like a 4 year difference between KGE and OYS but since OYS has acted in more mature, "older" roles before, its hard to see her as a college student...

just my opinion. shrugs* lol

Ah well. We'll see how this turns out. Some things just aren't worth bothering to do over.

In our My Sassy Girl alternate-title stampede, someone proposed

"Alternatively, Joo Won in the Trap. LOL."

Nope, it's Oh Yeon-seo in the Trap now :)

The story/premise really isn't that good to warrant a remake on any platform ie a movie or whatever. I love Oh Yeon So, one of my top 10 kdrama actresses but no. Not for this role. Can't really picture it.

And what happened in Cheese and the Trap is much of what is happening in The Flower in Prison right now. Not just one but two second leads who seem more charismatic than the main lead are stealing the show. As such they are getting more and more screen time and fans love it and ship them with the female lead. It just happens. It's disrespectful to then speculate that the director or writer has a "crush" just because she increased the fan fave's face time to please the populace.

no matter how many times this line about "increasing the fan fave's face time' gets repeated to justify the piano, it doesn't make it true.

I mean why would fans have got so angry if their supposed "fave" was the one getting more screen time? If he was really such a fave, people should be happy with that, but instead the viewers shit on the drama for giving him all the screen time, so maybe just better to admit that he was never the "fave" to the huge majority of viewers.

A true example of a second lead who did steal the show is Yook Sungjae in School 2015, or IU in Producer. Compare the comments on their episodes with extra screen time to what people said about piano man's extra screen time eps, it's easy to see who was truly a fave.

"The producers are currently reaching out to potential actors for the role of Baek In-ho, the hero’s old friend turned rival, played by Seo Kang-joon" - Please Drama-Gods, do NOT bring Seo Kang-Joon back for this project.

"It’s been confirmed that she will play the character Hong Seol in the movie reboot of the wildly popular webtoon that was also a wildly popular tvN drama, at least until that ending went off the rails. (It was so good… until then it wasn’t. I’m going to be bitter about that for a while.)" Me too.. still angry about what they have done. So much so, that I never want to see anything that this director - Lee Yoon-Jung, does. No need to watch anything from a director who lacks basic integrity.

" The project is also working with the original creator of the series, Soonkki, and all this talk of faithfulness makes me think the movie is very pointedly taking a different path from the drama series, which started out pretty faithful but ended up losing focus on the central storyline." Hoping this movie turns out to be Fabulous. And we will get a more depth look into YJ's character.

If anyone asked me I'd say absolutely DON'T do a remake of Cheese in the Trap. I can't believe any sane person agreed to this from the producers, directors to the actors they're still trying to cast. Who seriously wants to go through that again? To appease who basically? There's so many better stories out there to be told. If they really want to 'make it up' to the 'wronged' Park Hae jin they should just find him a fresh, great script to play the lead role as much as he wants.

Cast Jung Yonghwa as Baek in ho please or Lee joon or Yoon park and please don't cast Jisoo on this

I'm beginning to think that NoFace hopped out of W and went into Cheese in the Trap world to change the storyline but Park Hae Jin became self aware and stepped out of the drama world and rewrote the story into a movie and thus restarted the timeline. Yep.

My sentiments exactly! I think every single one here is devastated with the ending of CITT. It will always be remembered as something that could have been one of the best dramas of 2016. I asked my friends to watch it and not finish it so they won't feel my pain. I'm holding a grudge against the director tho.

What is it with people holding open casting calls, and then deciding to just choose Oh Yeon Seo instead?

First My Sassy Girl, and now Cheese in the Trap...

But don't get me wrong, I am excited, because Oh Yeon Seo is such a funny and talented actress. She looks a bit older than Kim Go Eun, but she is still younger than Park Hae Jin, and her personality is right in line with that of Hong Seol, so I can see this turning out very well.

I want to like citt but i couldnt. Jung just is pretty much a flower boy pshyco for me and the only positive things he has are good look and rich daddy. He also emotionally blackmail sul many times and was implied to be capable of doing physical assault/torture people in cray cray way. He also drive sul crazy with his mindgame. I wonder how u guys can stomach that kind of character.

KGE did not play Seol at all. She played a new character made poorly by the drama PD. I have seen her acting 3 roles and she's played all of them in the same fake manner. She doesn't know how to live a character and only pretends. I am really satisfied with OYS being Seol and I hope with Soonkki on board we would have a good movie worth watching.
