okay so,This started out pretty great and all but, it went downhill so fast.
At first i could kinda feel the chemistry between sarawattine but as the show continued their relationship got worse.
The storyline is kind of childish. It felt like middleschool and being 13 years old. I don't demand physical intimacy but sarawat was not even allowed to touch tine :S. The only likeable character for me is sarawat. He gives a lot mental affection and gives all of his trust and actually wants to talk about things but tine is just kinda delusional and blows every situation up so much and thats like, really cringy. Some other characters were actually nice as well like p'dim and green (altho bit extra imo) sarawats friendgroup is iconic as well. This show could've been so much more, cuz the spark was there for me at some point... Just it became such a let down.

its fun and lighthearted enough to keep watching, the HIStory's are usually also not very long so its an easy watch. the female lead is a bit overdramatic and a tad bit homophobic so beware if that hurts ur feelings. the male lead comes across a bit shallow at times. all with all the characters do not have lots of depths but then again i don't think that that was the point anyways.
Oh and btw: Death is such an icon.

storyline:there were no moments that i got bored. The plottwist the intensity the relotionship developments... just all spot on for me. No unnecesarry angst or drama, which is nice in BL for a change. Trapped is not the typical cheesy BL anyways, story wise its more mature and the relationships develop naturally. The main focus is also not really on the relationships. It is very much about the plot. there was action and character depth all balanced out very nicely. meng shao fei's police officer job is a bit sketchy like: what is even going on in that police department at times. That is maybe a bit weird to me (but we can excuse it)
acting/actors:
i think Chris as Tang Yi is just perfect. his composure and calm demeanor really made the character for me. super stylish as well but thats just a bonus :p . Actually everybody did a great job. they all had so much personality which makes all of them so likeable. Jake's efforts to understand the role of shao Fei is really admirable. really makes him shine at the right moments,
rewatch value is high on the HIStory series. but especially trapped, it just doesn't get old.
