The Trap

Ah Yeon looks sensual in those short tennis outfits she always wears. When Min Seok, a successful prosecutor encounters Ah Yeon in a parking lot of a tennis court, he happens to provide her with help unexpectedly. He later gets contacted by Ah Yeon frequently. Although Min Seok, the married man tries to refuse her excessive hospitality towards him, it’s not easy to refuse. One day, Min Seok receives a correspondence saying he is accused of bribery and then he realizes he might lose his position as a prosecutor. While his relationship with his wife has become unstable as well, he cannot stop thinking about Ah Yeon. He after all begins the relationship with Ah-yeon he should not have started.

Directed by Yoon Yeo-chang, The Trap leans on a strong ensemble — Kwon Hae-sung, Lee Yoo-jin, Kang Hyun-joong — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2017.
