Actor Ryu Jun-yeol stars in the South Korean Netflix original series 'Mousetrap' which aired on Friday, August 28, 2026. The mystery and thriller series tells the story of identity theft that leads a writer on a dangerous hunt.
In 'Mousetrap,' Je Moon-jae is a reclusive writer who has lived a life away from the public eye for years. His life changes when access to his personal details is lost and his identity is usurped by a mysterious figure known as 'The Rat.'
Moon-jae then loses his name, possessions, and any evidence that would have confirmed his existence. He sets out to find 'The Rat' to reclaim the life that was slowly being stolen from him.
In his search, Moon-jae teams up with Noja, a ruthless loan shark who previously pursued him over a debt. The two become entangled in a tense chase as the lines between reality, deception, and identity become increasingly blurred.
Ryu Jun-yeol plays Je Moon-jae, a reclusive writer who is at the center of the thriller series. Veteran actor Sul Kyung-gu also stars as Noja, while Lee Kyoo-hyung plays Sun-yong, a detective hunting 'The Rat.'
This series is an adaptation of Ludovico's webtoon, "Field Mouse," inspired by Korean folklore. The tale depicts a mouse that transforms into a human after eating a nail clipping.
'Mousetrap' is directed by Kim Hong-sun and written by Lee Jae-gon. The ten-episode series marks the latest collaboration between several well-known actors in the South Korean entertainment industry.
'Mousetrap' will be available to watch globally on Netflix streaming service on Friday, August 28, 2026. Viewers can follow the story of Moon-jae's identity struggle through Netflix, which is the exclusive streaming platform for the series.
