"Cheese Trap" is adapted from the popular manga, and after the drama aired, the response was so enthusiastic that it became a hot topic in the hot search list many times. However, after the 10th episode, the storyline that deviated more and more from the original made many viewers start to complain that they couldn't understand it, and even the author of the original "Cheese Trap" manga expressed his dissatisfaction with the drama version on SNS.

And the most puzzling thing is that as the drama draws to a close, the male lead Park Hae Jin's role is surprisingly getting smaller and smaller. Some fans pointed out that in 11 episodes, Park Hae Jin's part was only 18 minutes, in 12 episodes, 15 minutes, and in 13 episodes, only 12 minutes, while in 13 episodes, Seo Kang Joon had 37 minutes. Not only did the unexplained deletion of parts make fans feel very ridiculous, but also Park Hae Jin's company said that the scripted part was more than the actual aired part, and they felt very sorry for the artist to be treated so badly in the drama.

While the drama has publicly apologized before the finale was aired, many fans were still disappointed by the response to the finale.
