Cheese in the Trap by Soonkki
Having returned to college after a year long break, Hong Sul, a hardworking, over-achiever, inavertly got on the wrong side of a suspiciously perfect senior named Yoo Jung. From then on her life took a turn for the worst and Sul was almost certain it was all Yoo Jung's doing. So why is he suddenly acting so friendly a year later?
Its the downside of being a non Korean fan who doesn't know how to read Hangul. Its the same when watching Korean drama and variety shows. We need to wait for the sincere subbers and translators to do their jobs. Anyway, here are the list of sites where you can actually read Cheese in the Trap with English trans.
Line Webtoon is the official site where you could read Cheese in the Trap with not only English but Vietnamese, Spanish, French and many more languages. Translated episode is usually released every Sunday of the week. However, the English translation as of today is only in Seasson 2, Episode 59. Take note that the webtoon is in its Season 3 already.
The translation here is quiet neat and the good part is the you can actually download the Line Webtoon App that is available in Android and IOS Devices. After downloading the application, there is a feature where you can download and store the webtoon in your device for 30 days which you can read offline. So, if you're kind of a busy person and an occasional comic reader this app is the best for you. But, if you're the type to read something and finish it off in a few days span this may not be enough for you.
After reading Cheese in the Trap in the Line App I got so curious about the next pages so I researched and found out the team of Odd Squad. Odd Squad is pretty much doing their job legally because when reading the webtoon you first should go to the naver page of Cheese. That means you are giving hits to Soonkki, the artist behind Cheese.
Odd Squad is using the so called "English Translation Overlay" technique which is kind of amusing. Its like first you go directly to Cheese in the Trap's naver site which is totally in Korean and then you click on the Odd Squad's overlay technique and magic comes out, the bubble conversations are suddenly turning into English language.
The downside is that you should read the webtoon using your laptop because first you have to bookmark Odd Squad's naver translator plug-in in your search engine. Some peope found it troublesome but I suggest its best to use Google Chrome and then drag and drop Odd Squad's naver translator image in your bookmark bar and your good to go. Just click the bookmarked plug-in in every refresh and next pages of the webtoon. As of now, Odd Squad had translated Season 3, Episode 51 of the webtoon.
UPDATE: The "English Translation Overlay" doesn't work now. You should drag and drop the green star icon called Overtooning in your browsers bookmark. The image can be found in the left side of Odd Squad's website. Click the link of the CITT pages and click the Overtooning image to read the english trans.
BONUS!!!
