'Trap of Desire' has announced a smooth start.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, the first episode of KBS 2TV's daily drama 'Trap of Desire' (script by Gu Ji-won, directed by Lee Dae-kyung), which premiered on the 10th, recorded a national viewership rating of 6.5% on the 11th.

In the episode aired that day, the fates of Joo Mi-ran (played by Jang Seo-hee), Kang Hae-ra (played by Ju Sae-byeok), and Go Eun-seol (played by Jeon Hye-won), who have lived different lives, began to intertwine.

Go Eun-seol and Kang Hae-ra faced off at an art competition awards ceremony. Go Eun-seol, who grew up normally under her parents' love, won the gold prize with her outstanding skills and was recognized for her talent. In contrast, Kang Hae-ra, the sole heiress of 'Cheongma Group,' displayed feelings of inferiority and competitiveness toward Go Eun-seol, who had risen to the top ahead of her. As if that weren't enough, when Cha Seok-jin (played by Seol Jeong-hwan), a senior at school and her first love, also turned his gaze toward Go Eun-seol, Kang Hae-ra's jealousy gradually transformed into an obsession bordering on madness.

In particular, after intentionally damaging Go Eun-seol's painting, Kang Hae-ra warned her: "Are you interested in Oppa Seok-jin? Don't overstep your bounds. But what can I do? Oppa Seok-jin is mine. Remember that. I can't stand anyone touching what belongs to me."

Go Eun-seol attended a celebration party for the art competition hosted by Kang Hae-ra along with Cha Seok-jin, where she first encountered Joo Mi-ran, Kang Hae-ra's nanny. Having entered 'Cheongma Group' as a nanny herself, Joo Mi-ran carefully cared for Kang Hae-ra while concealing her true intentions behind a gentle smile. She revealed her presence by hiding her true colors and moving steadily toward her own goals, such as secretly helping Kang Hae-ra submit someone else's painting under her name.

Eventually, Kang Hae-ra's cheating was discovered by her father, Kang Young-hoon (played by Yu Tae-woong), resulting in a punishment that banned her from participating in the art competition. Afterward, Kang Hae-ra's twisted desire to take away Go Eun-seol's talent, love, and everything became the spark for tragedy. Overcome with jealousy, Kang Hae-ra began to lash out at Go Eun-seol, who was selected as the school representative to compete in the art competition.

At the end of the broadcast, a massive fire broke out in the art studio due to Kang Hae-ra's extreme actions aimed at destroying Go Eun-seol's painting. The episode ended with a shot of Go Eun-seol looking shocked amidst the flames.

Meanwhile, 'Trap of Desire' is a work that marks Jang Seo-hee's return to KBS after 12 years.
