On July 18, the Korean outlet Newsen reported that actress Kim Go Eun may be cast in the female lead role for the upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama, "Cheese in the Trap."  

A representative for the production confirmed that the 24-year-old critically acclaimed actress is in consideration for a role in the series. "We have offered the role in the seris to Kim Go Eun," said a spokesperson for the drama. "However, she is one of many other actresses who has received offers." 

According to the report, the drama will continue to audition other stars, until the best person is cast. Audiences have responded strongly to casting news regarding other actresses, including Miss A's Suzy. "Cheese in the Trap" is a beloved web comic whose lead female character, Hong Seol, maintains a strong spirit and cat-like features. 

Kim would be an interesting choice as the heroine in the series. The role would mark her K-Drama debut, following several strong film characters. She debuted in the 2012 award winning film, "A Muse" and has since followed with critically acclaimed movies including "Coin Locker Girl." She stars opposite Lee Byung Hun in the upcoming period film, "Memories of the Sword." 

Other actresses who have been considered for the heroine role in "Cheese in the Trap" include Chun Woo Hee. Actor Park Hae Jin is the only member of the cast who has been confirmed. He will portray Yoo Jung, the male lead, in the series. 

Directed by Lee Yoon Jung, "Cheese in the Trap" will premiere in October.
