I don't mind the subplot of the boss and I really enjoyed the hetero couple. What I like the most about Trapped is that they show us much more than just BL love. Still they focused on the wrong things. I honestly wonder if some better editing or cutting would have done the trick. They should have showed us more about the "gangster plot" in the first half, then come to a conclusion around maybe episode 16 and then show us what happens next. Looking back there were many repetitive scenes throughout the series like Shao Fei following Tang Yi around and asking him always the same questions, Shao Fei talking with his boss several times (not giving up on the case), some silly comedy scenes with Zhao Zi (once he almost had a heart attack lol), the scenes with Andy of course (completely unnecessary), the scene with the doctor (even more unnecessary). Talking about Andy: when all three men were fighting over Tang Yi, Andy was there, because he told him who tried to kill him. I only got that when I rewatched the scene. This is one example where the "gangster plot" was completely overshadowed by some silly comedy. Still in the next episodes we didn't knew who that guy was. Hang He (or how he is called?). Like I said, I feel they should have put together the scenes better. There are many great scenes in the series, but they feel disconnected. Even if you binge watch the show, it doesn't "flow" right.

"Are they trying to show how popular Tang Yi is with the guys that pretty much almost everyone has a crush on him?"
What I really wanted to see about the main couple was how their relationship will work out. You have a very charismatic, self-confident, but also dangerous and cold, bisexual gang leader who seems to have lots of admirers and a rather dorky police officer with not much experience in love. Will someone like Tang Yi be loyal? Can you have a serious relationship with him? I really enjoyed that scene in ep 12 when Tang Yi told Shao Fei he should try to seduce him. But later on the "gangster storyline" just took over. Suddenly it all became so dramatic and like 陳廷軒 said, the whole relationship was reduced to Shao Fei being emotional support for Tang Yi. I didn't saw that coming in that extent. In general I enjoyed that development a lot (Shao Fei being the strong one), but it was just a bit too much. Especially considering that there are only two episode left with lots of tears I guess (Shao Fei being in the hospital). Sigh ...

"The motivation. Like we got so many backstories with Tang Yi and we got nothing from Shaofei." I didn't expect them showing us Shao Fei's family (lol), but because Tang Yi gets so much background, I really started to get curious about Shao Fei's life. But yeah, they didn't show us much.

I guess the second couple has a big following, because they are cute. This is enough for people to get interested in them. I don't dislike them, but yeah ... a foodie and a mysterious guy? There could have been much more about them, of course, and then I would root for them too. Still I think people like them and saw potential mostly because the actors are attractive and cute. This is just not a good enough reason for me personally to get into a pairing. I would have preferred they wouldn't have inserted that couple in the first place. I liked the hetero couple much more – unpopular opinion, I know.

At the end of the day, it's just a series. I don't get why they are so emotional and hateful.

"It felt like a completely different series." Yeah, I thought the same. The first half was full of comedy and silly scenes. The second half is just drama, flashback, and drama (which I don't really mind, there were some great and very emotional scenes). The relationship between the main couple developed VERY slowly at first (I really enjoyed that) but then suddenly everything went so fast. Honestly, how long are Shao Fei and Tang Yi even together? Three days? LOL There was that beautiful scene at the end of ep 12 (where they touched each other). In the next scene they were arguing, then there was the birthday cake scene and then Ah De died (which nobody seems too concerned about) and since then it's just a ride to hell and back. Most of their scenes show Tang Yi having trouble containing his anger and Shao Fei yelling "Tang Yi" (he really does that too often) and trying to hold him back. I just want to see them being in a relationship and figuring things out. Not that I care that much about hot scenes or first times. But was that scene in ep 17 their first time? I guess not. I'm lost here. And now Shao Fei is AGAIN in the hospital? How will they solve all of this in merely 40 minutes? They really should have balanced this out better.
I'm not a fan of the second couple, but after the last episode I really thought I would like to see how this relationship turns out. But well, only two episode left.
"We don't even know why he's so hellbent on knowing what happened four years ago" You mean Shao Fei? He is invested in this case, because his senior died back then and it was said the women was involved with gangs what he didn't want to believe.

Not a fan of the last episode. Only 14 minutes long again. In the first half of the series (until ep 10) they had so many unnecessary scenes like Shao Fei getting jealous and all those men who wanted a piece of Tang Yi. And now, that the closure is near, I feel like they are running out of time. If the next episode will be again 34 minutes and the last one only 14 minutes ... well ... I think like there could be so much more about the characters and their relationship. It feels like their story is just starting. Don't know how they will be able to pull off a satisfying ending.

I don't think we will learn much more about the foster dad. He wasn't so fond of adopting a child, but did it anyways to make his wife happy. Then the wife died and this was apparently very hard for him. So he directed all those negative emotions to Tang Yi. Shit happens.

I wonder why Tang Yi wanted Chen (Cheng? I'm bad with Chinese names) to come back. He killed that other guy who did drug business with Chen only to force him to come back. It was said several times that Tang Yi waited for this moment. I assumed Chen would be the one responsible for Sir Tang's and the police lady's death and that Tang Yi wanted revenge. After all Tang Yi should know about the killer. He was on the scene ... But well, there goes my theory ...

Honestly, WHO was responsible for the death of the police officer and Sir Tang 4 years ago? Even Tang Yi was shot back then. Did I miss something? Was it the police? Because I thought it would be Chen, but I guess not. There is much more to come. Chen knew about the child, why were they lying to him?

Trapped has a great story. If people cannot see it they most likely didn't pay enough attention. Those people are so stupid. It almost makes me angry. Watching it for the awesome actors? Great. Fetishizing Gay love is always something to be proud of. I would be ashamed for bashing such a show.

I thought Chinese fans wanted to stop watching the show after ep 14? So stupid ...

Guys, Google is your friend. Or the facebook search bar. It‘s really not that difficult. You can find the episodes online.

She/he/they is writing a lot of comments. Sometimes you wanna respond and YOU CAN'T, because you're blocked. This is so childish, immature, annoying and honestly arrogant of her/him/whatever. It feels like you're not allowed to express your opinion. THAT'S what's giving me "awkward vibes". Like really ... I bet the person is politically left-oriented and then she is shutting you off like this. The irony is hilarious. But I'm not surprised ...

I love her and find her extremely charming and sassy. They grew up together and have a rather unique history, so I have no problem with her being affectionate towards him.

Well, my bad then ... I once created a site and it was free too. I had a lot of problems with it though ...

Creating a website with a lot of upload space that can handle all the traffic (I guess after he posts a video hundreds of people are clicking on it simultaneously) is NOT cheap. I don't know about the forum mentioned, but I can imagine there were some limitations too.

Chris & Jake are both so humble and sweet. You immediately get the impression they have a good heart. And how they treat each other! They are so soft and considerate.

I'm a big fan of Max&Tul chemistry, but I never felt like those two are "nice" people. Don't hate me for that!

No idea. When I woke up today four hours ago (I live in Italy) the site was still on. The same happened when History 2 aired. I remember back then he found a way to provide us with subs as fast as possible *fingers crossed*

Here without subtitles: https://mydramalist.com/profile/night9
The FB page where you could watch it with subtitles is down. But they will bring the show to Viki: https://www.viki.com/tv/36410c-history-3-trapped

His site his most likely down. It happens all the time. But they bring the show to Viki.
