Highly Recommended
When Tang Yi kissed Siao Fei and confirmed the relationship, the only concerned by colleagues was how can a police date a triad leader? 😊 (as opposed to, how can 2 men date)The development of thlnd to relationship from adversary (TY actually sued SF), to half friend to life partners is so organic and sweet, without it being cheesy.
Love the fact when SF realised that he was in love with TY, it was a revelation and he immediately pursued TY, loudly and publicly.
SF was ussually with be the one to comfort TY, kissed and protect TY.
I loved the way both addressed conflicts and misunderstandings in a very open and matured manner e.g. about Andy. TY instinctively knew SF was bugged about it and didnt know how to bring up the topic.
The acting for the whole cast was spot on and loved, loved the OST. Is in my playlist.
Trapped has to be my fav BL drama, because it has a matured cast, in an adult setting and the story plot doesnt just focus on their relationship. It spoke about the actual definition of family.

Ending was not what I expected
This drama ending was definitely not what i thought would happen. I was expecting a happy ever after. Accept Tang yi turned himself in and offer meng was left saying goodbye and he will be missed. HmmOkay so the story was not so bad, police officer falls in love with a gang member who is seeking revenge for his father that was murdered. Tang yi was hot and officer meng was just your average bloke. The story flowed very nicely and kept you wondering what was going to happen and guessing.
Music was okay nothing to talk about,.
The second couple was a bit funny and kinda cute would have liked to see more from them.
Overall it was good 👍

My all time favourite BL show ❤️❤️❤️
I have seen quite a few BL shows and Trapped is by far my all time favourite and there are a few good reasons for that .here are some of them:
1. The leads characters are all grown ups
I personally am sick and tired seeing shows about college kids who seem to be clueless half the time , while here in Trapped we get a story about real MEN who knows who they are and what they want from life and they are not afraid of asking it ,that was definitely my favourite part about this show .
2. The plot line, like seriously how freeking good is that a cop and a mobster falling in love ,I don't know about you people but for me it was pure BL heaven.
3. We see the boys dealing with real life issues like loss of a family ,hate, betrayal and very hard lessons that you only encounter when you are outside from school I found I could relate much more to this show then to the other BL shows that seem to be repeating them selves .
4. The Love between Tang Yi and Meng Shao Fei was sooooooo good I could feel the sparks from episode 1 and the way it was build up it was brilliant ,I just loved seeing how those two strong men melting slowly for one another and God knows it was a long road getting there but it was so worth it.
5. Side plot line was wonderful too the 2nd couple was great and funny they were my comic relief from all the serious staff that went on the show, like how can you not like Jake and his adorable smile .
Music : I loved the title song and I even download it to my phone.
All an all I would say this show has a refreshing plot line ,great actors and would highly recommend it.
My only biff with this show is the fact that each episode was so short , I wish I had more time enjoying this show, maybe i will get lucky and they will make a season 2
oh well a girl can dream ......
I really hope you will enjoy this show as much as I did.
P.s I have already watched the whole series
5 times and I am sure I will watch it again :)

Cringe Worth Feast!
This is just my personal opinion about the show. Is the show perfect? No. Was it enjoyable? Yes! (I can't believe I'm saying that)I'm quite surprised at how much I enjoy the show because there flaws that are obvious. I'll try to elaborate more on that. Firstly, some scenes are so overdramatic and cringey. It gives me a good laugh because some scenes are awful that it becomes entertaining as hell. The dramatic fall into the swimming pool, the elevator scene, the part where Shao Fei immediately thinking Tang Yi is having sex, and he quickly barges in, not to mention how the show immediately starts with the Boys over Flowers song like why? There's more to that, but I don't want my review to be long.
Next, I'm not a fan of the second couple? I don't know. I can't vibe with the love story. It happened out of nowhere, and I couldn't care less about them. I find the characters to be dull and bland, so I fast-forwarded all of their scenes. Lastly, the cops are just bad in solving their cases LMAO.
What do I like about the show? The chemistry between Shao Fei and Tang Yi is spot on! Enemies to lovers trope? Police gangster love story? The ultimate forbidden love. Their relationship progression is nice and refreshing. I like how the storyline never centralized entirely on the couple. It makes their relationship fun, sweet and cute and lastly, not annoying as hell. I'm just so glad the relationship is not super cliche which doesn't bore me to death. Tang Yi's suits are iconic, and he looks outstanding in it.
Overall, I had a lot of fun watching it. If you can't stand the cringe feast, run away from it or just fast forward the parts. If not, let your logic out, throw it away when you watch it because some are super unrealistic and dumb. Just accept how it's going to be like and have fun watching it! I like to end my review with this hashtag, #FreeTangyi.

Phenomenal
History's best bow ever released. The undeniable chemistry between the protagonists and the antagonists. The drama of the police and the bad guy goes beyond the cliché already released in western series. The drama flows smoothly and you get involved in a natural way. The deconstruction of the character of Tang Yi from bad guy to a passionate man who borders on the teenager is built in an exact way and Shao Feii always on the front line not caring about his actions taken to change his great love and open his eyes.Was this review helpful to you?
This show is by far the best among the HIStory franchise. The story was great but I personally didn't like how different episodes varied in terms of length length. The cast was perfect and production value was greatly improved. The music was pretty alright as well, especially
I liked how the romance between the couples slowly blossomed. There wasn't any rush and neither was it too slow. It was nicely developed throughout the 20 episodes. I also liked how the flashback scenes were placed and they gave great detail to the storyline. Also, the ending was a little sad but perfect. I would 100% recommend you watch this, especially if you're a new BL fan.

Looooove it. One of my top bls now. I mean, this was everything, a thriller, a bl, drama. And it was so well written. I loves the side couple, which is sometimes annoying in bls but not on this one. Praises, Praises, Praises.

This was my 87th BL drama and now it's ONE OF MY FAVOURITES
OMGGGGGG!!! DAMN!! I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS ENTIRE DRAMA!! TRUST ME THIS IS MY 87TH BL and I regret not watching this sooner. It's those type of darmas that makes you keep feeling happy and good for a long time even after its finished. I don't regret investing my time in it. I haven't come across this plot with a gangster and a cop lovestory in the BL genre.STORY -10/10.
ACTING-10/10
CHEMISTRY -10/10
I was captivated from the very beginning to the very end. Hot gangsters ( Tang Yi and Jack). Cute af cops ( Shao Fi and Zhao Zi). And they togather were just... Damn such cuteee couples. Shao Fi was so funny that I kept giggling the entire time as I kept watching the show. The acting of the entire cast was on point. And ofcourse it's a pure BL not bromance. Enough steamy scenes. The romance, humour, cuteness, action and thrill... everything was just so damn perfect. Just go and watch it if you already haven't!
Some people are disappointed with the ending. But m quite satisfied. It's not a sad ending. He was a gangster who has committed several crimes. So, he has to pay for it. Even though he might spend sometime in prison, Shao Fi ensures him that he will definitely wait for him. I know and believe that after he's released, they can lead a happy life together.

I know I keep saying HIStory creators always get better and it's the same with Trapped. The right amount of skin ship, cuteness, angst, and passion for a perfect guilty pleasure watch and as always the chemistry between both the couples was through the roof! I really enjoyed this story gangster and cop is one of my favorite tropes.
But even though its supposed to be a tropey guilty pleasure watch the writing and dialog is so damn good.
Seriously, I got just as attached to both the couples!
Absolutely loved it!
So naturally felt like it ended way too soon. But not because it felt rushed or anything, just because I got super attached to the characters.
And ok word of caution, there are some dark turns in this one like Obsessed. Nothing too dark and the overall mood is hopeful but angsty.

Finally a satisfying BL show!
This show is so good!!!😳😁😚🤗And I swear these actors are all so fine !👍
Although the show starts a little slow and maybe a little cringey, as you get into it more and more it becomes extremely interesting, with great plot, great acting, and let's be honest, great kissing scenes.
Although the end is a little bit unsatisfying, overall this is one of the most satisfying BL shows i have ever seen (from all around the world, including other HIstory stories).
So glad i watched this show🤗

the last 2 episode!!
every part of this series screamed "mama I am in love with a criminal" and i loved it and again i had the second lead syndrome. but the first lead was also not bad at all. I am giving this a 10 just because of the last 2 episodes. I won't speak more or i will end up spoiling you all.Was this review helpful to you?
