Cheese in the Trap, Season 4 by Soonkki
How this season got me is beyond words! I had been attached to this series to the hip for a whole lot of time and its ending is both to my happiness and tears.
Can I just say for a moment that Seol is one well-developed female protagonist? To the very end, she stood her ground and stick to her principles, and that's really something we don't see in manga often. I love how getting in a relationship with Jung or being friends with someone like In Ho didn't make her compromise and instead, helped her grow further.
Everything in this season is also well-done. We got a whole lot more perspective on In Ho and Jung, which gives a whole lot of spice to the story. In Ho is an unfortunate tale of a person who wasn't really able to chase his dreams because of immaturity and the circumstances he couldn't control, and how he decided to pick himself up again and chase his dreams is really beautiful.
What I was more surprised in this season is the final reveal on Jung's personality and surprise surprise, he's really just a misunderstood person who's terrible at expressing his feelings. I got to admit, as the series progressed I naturally turned to like In Ho more than Jung, but I think Jung is much more of a fit to Seol in the long run. I love how the author could have played the apathy card but chose to just portray Jung as this person whose naturally calculative nature was overplayed by adults. Despite his way of solving things and him being Jung, after the reveal, I personally don't think there's something wrong with Jung. Everyone has monsters inside of them, and Jung's was just easily dismissed just because he is who he is.
At the end, all the characters were given a smooth and deserving finish (I love how Sangcheol (?) got's what coming for him for not taking his college life seriously and always using the senior card). CITT ending is honestly so sad, not because of the way it ended but just because, well, it actually ended. This series has been so amazing- the art, the story, the characters and all- and although it is a little more on the drmatic side and the psychological way this plays with the readers' minds really gets you sometime, it had a good run. The series had seriously been a treat.
