A Stolen Identity Becomes a Dangerous Hunt in Mousetrap
More from Mousetrap → 2 videosMousetrap taps into the unnerving identity-thriller premise of a man forced to prove that he is himself, then adds a volatile partnership between a reclusive novelist and a ruthless investigator. The trailer’s hook is less about a conventional chase than the paranoia of watching an entire life become evidence against its owner, with Ryu Jun-yeol and Sul Kyung-gu suggesting a tense, morally complicated two-hander.
The official trailer for Mousetrap follows reclusive novelist Je Moon-jae as he wakes to discover that someone has stolen far more than his money. His name, identity, and entire life now belong to a mysterious imposter known only as “The Rat”—and Moon-jae can’t even prove who he really is.
Ryu Jun-yeol stars alongside Sul Kyung-gu as No-ja, a ruthless loan shark and private investigator who becomes Moon-jae’s unlikely ally in the search for the man behind the deception. Together, they enter a dangerous game where reclaiming one man’s life means uncovering who—or what—is waiting at the other end of the trap.
Mousetrap streams August 28, 2026, on Netflix.
