The Netflix series "Mousetrap", which draws inspiration from Korean folklore, has released striking and intense press stills.

"Mousetrap" is a tracking thriller that follows novelist Mun-jae (played by Ryu Jun-yeol), whose name, face, and life are completely stolen by a mysterious entity known as "Mousetrap", loan shark No-ja (played by Sul Kyung-gu), who is trying to recover lost money, and detective Sun-yong (played by Lee Kyu-hyung) as they chase down the true identity of Mousetrap.

Released on the 18th, the new stills immediately capture attention with the diverse appearances of the characters entangled in the web of Mousetrap.

In particular, anticipation is high for Ryu Jun-yeol as he takes on the first dual-role challenge of his filmography, simultaneously portraying Mun-jae and the "Mousetrap" entity, who shares Mun-jae's face but exudes a cold and chilling atmosphere.

Sul Kyung-gu, playing the loan shark No-ja, hints at a high-stakes, life-threatening chase with his blood-stained shirt and rugged aura, while Lee Kyu-hyung portrays detective Sun-yong, capturing the sharp and persistent gaze of an investigator closing in on the truth during an undercover stakeout.

Joining them are Mu Jin-sung as Mun-jae's friend Su-hyeon, Kim Sung-oh as Seung-gyu, who projects a threatening presence, and Hyun Bong-shik as Myeong-su, raising expectations for intense character conflicts and a fast-paced narrative.

Reinterpreting the traditional folklore of the "Rat Transformed Into a Man" with a modern twist to deliver extreme immersion, the Netflix series "Mousetrap" consists of 10 episodes and is set for release on Netflix on the 28th (Friday).
