‘Cheese’ set for October 5

TvN’s new webtoon-based drama “Cheese in the Trap,” starring actor Park Hae-jin has been confirmed to begin airing October 5.

The actress to star alongside Park has not yet been confirmed.

“Since Park has the perfect image as the main lead of the drama series, many people have high expectations for the project,” said a person related to the drama.

“We are trying our best to find the actress who perfectly fits the image of the character. It doesn’t matter whether the celebrity is a newbie or a veteran.”
