Mixed opinion after episode one. The story is quite original and interesting but the directing isn't my cup of tea. I'm tired of thai series with background noises added to make it look fun and trendy, the unavoidable poo joke, the hilarious friends who aren't that funny... At least the main couples have chemistry so I'll come back for episode 2.
Not a fan of TinCan: Plan isn't even comfortable with skinship and he doesn't have chemistry with Mean. Also how are they going to deal with Techno rape by Kla? I get that it happened in the book and it's supposed to be fun but they should have changed it in the series. For example, it could be a lie from Kla to persuade No to be his boyfriend. Anyway, I don't think I'll watch LBC2. I'll keep hoping for LBC3 and AePete reunion...
DBK's gay representation is one of the best in BL. We got supportive parents, a nice and smart ex-girlfriend, a gay couple preparing their wedding and coming out talks (PeteKao talks about coming out to Kao's mom, Mork telling Rain off for outing him to Manao). It's a shame PeteKao storyline was bad. It really drag down the enjoyment. At least SunMork was good. Their story was mature and real. On the acting part, I'm sorry to say but New hasn't improved since Sotus. It's quite painful to watch him in dramatic scenes. Tay was good but he wasn't given much to do except being angry or annoyed.
Unpopular opinion, very unpopular opinion (please don’t come at me) but I’m not sold on Fluke. Yes, he is…
That's why I've never liked him. I just can't with his smiling face. He's good in dramatic scenes as you said but even then I'm not into it. I can feel him acting, you know what I mean?
Before commenting I want to point put that these will be my opinions and mine only that they do not intend to…
Sis, thank you! I felt I was the only one not into this series. I'm trying but I can't get past episode 5. I just don't get why people are loving it, I don't get the hype.
Trapped is good but not that good. I understand people are tired of high school dramas and want mature stories so Trapped was a welcome change in the BL world. But when you choose a subject such as a cop and gangster romance I expect you to do it realistically and with a tight plot. Which Trapped quite failed to do. 1 - Shao Fei was too childish and impulsive for a cop. During many episodes, the acting was forced. Jake Hsu isn't a newbie though so I wonder if he was asked to act this way. 2 - Shao Fei getting shot at or stabbed was repetitive and in the end didn't have much effect. 3 - Jack and Zhao Li An were cute why add a second couple if you don't give them enough screentime to develop their characters and background? 4 - The gangster plot is all over the place. It started strong (and a bit confusing) and then it took a backseat for the romance before ending in a rush. I guess I'm not into cop/gangster romance. Trapped is one of the best BL out there but it didn't trap me. It was enjoyable to watch but I'll not remember it years later.
