Netflix unveils a chilling identity-theft thriller as the reclusive novelist teams up with a ruthless loan shark to reclaim his stolen life.

Netflix’s upcoming thriller **“[Mousetrap](https://www.netflix.com/title/81991749)“** has finally dropped its first trailer and poster, confirming an August 28 premiere date for one of the platform’s most intriguing new K-dramas.

### What “Mousetrap” Is About

Based on the webtoon “Field Mouse,” the series follows Moon Jae, a reclusive novelist who loses everything — his name, identity, and fortune — to a mysterious figure known only as “The Rat.” To reclaim his life, he teams up with an unlikely ally: the loan shark who once relentlessly pursued him. Together, the two set off on a tense, action-packed chase where the line between truth and deception constantly blurs.

Ryu Jun Yeol stars as Moon Jae, whose isolated life is upended when a mobile banking app suddenly fails to recognize his fingerprint, locking him out of his own identity. Sul Kyung Gu plays No Ja, a hard-edged loan shark who joins him on the hunt. The trailer highlights Moon Jae’s terrifying predicament — after years of living as a recluse, no one around him can vouch for who he really is, leaving him fighting to prove his own existence.
