"Cheese in the Trap," a South Korean cable drama based on a popular webtoon, has been exported China, helped by the growing popularity of actor Park Hae-jin among Chinese fans.

The 16-episode tvN drama was sold to China's largest video websites, Youku and Tudou, for two million US dollars, the highest price in the history of South Korean cable drama exports, according to its PR agency, Ytree.

With its fifth episode aired, the drama has already been high on the rankings of the Weibo Drama Popularity Chart.

Park has been popular in China for his role in "My Love from the Star" in 2013.

Art director Lee Chul-ho said the drama's popularity was partly attributable to his elaborate work to show the real life of South Korean college students.
