HIStory3: Trapped (2019)

ASÍ es como se hace una serie de mafia gay

He visto esta serie más veces que a mi propio padre.
Toda la parte 3 de HIStory parece que fue dirigida por una luz que logró que con dos historias que, al no tener nada que ver entre ellas, fueron creadas para destruir psiquis...
HIStory 3: Trapped debe ser, creo, la más famosas de todas (y con razón) dado que trae a la mesa una historia que hasta el momento no era muy común de ver en pantalla: gente adulta haciendo cosas adultas e interesantes.
La historia se centra entre Meng Shao Fei, un policía que quiere a toda cosa descubrir que sucedió con el crimen de su oficial a cargo y Tang Yi, un líder mafioso que Shao Fei piensa es el responsable de todo lo sucedido. Oh, pero sí la trama se espesa luego. En el medio de toda una serie de enredos que empuja a ambos personajes a no solo buscar el hilo de aquello que los aflije en sus vidas, sino en permitirse ser vulnerables alrededor del otro y poder darse el lugar para amarse.
La dinámica entre Shao Fei y Tang Yi es hermosa de ver, al mismo tiempo que también te compenetras con los personajes de Jack y Zhao Li An que son polos opuestos pero no pueden funcionar mejor juntos.
Trapped es una serie que la primera vez que la ví no podía creer estar viva como para que mis ojos hayan sido agraciados con la historia que acababa de presenciar. Y si bien la historia de ellos dos era mi foco principal, en un momento te encontrás TAN inmersa en la historia de conflictos que cuando se estalla todo empezas a putear del shock.
Detesto decir que a veces hay BLs que fallan en contar una historia porque no saben balancear el foco de las relaciones con el argumento, pero pasa y eso a veces peligra todo el proyecto porque podés plantear una premisa pero si no cumplis con eso desarmas toda la idea. Pero por suerte Trapped no hace eso. La serie comprende que ambas relaciones se construyen en base los sucesos de la serie avanzan, dado que cada nueva cosa que se va descubriendo lleva a que los personajes se unan más entre ellos hasta que llega el punto que entienden que no pueden estar el uno sin el otro.
Si no la han visto está más que claro decir que lo hagan porque van a salir rejuvenecidxs una vez que la terminen y va a pasar un tiempo y se van a encontrar mirandola de vuelta y descubriendo cosas nuevas con cada repetición, siempre fascinandose en cuanto a lo que la historia y ellos pueden develar.

HIStory 3: Trapped, gracias por existir (y nunca sabremos si habrá una segunda temporada pero en base al final es de cada unx pensar si la historia merece avanzar o quedar donde quedó).

I absolutely adore this. It frequently tops recommendation lists for "Best of BL" and I can see why: it's got a stellar cast, some fantastic acting -- I even love the secondary couple in this drama, though those can frequently be hit or miss for me. This is my first mob boss/cop romance that I've seen, so I'm not familiar with what is specific to this piece vs tropes to the genre, but I feel like either way my enjoyment was pretty thorough.

For me the only big thing that I think needs to be pointed out is that the show needs a major trigger warning for sexual assault (not between any of the shows pairings) for episode #14 (if you're watching the shorter episodes) and #7.

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.

Um tiro certeiro

Eu sempre acompanhei todos a saga HIStory. Eu inexplicavelmente amo e espero por mais bls.

Esta série eu poderia ver milhões de vezes que nunca me cansaria. Sinceramente foi uma das melhores coisas que já vi. O policia, na minha opinião o ator não é muito bonito e nem tem um grande carisma como o ator que fez de Tang Yi. Mas eu nem vi a série só pelos atores, eu vi mesmo pela história que carregava.

Na altura que eu vi este bl, eu tinha visto poucos. Eu amo séries de mistério e policial e na altura começava a gostar de séries bl, então foi como juntar um mais um. E foi assim que surgiu a minha paixão pela série. Eu irei roubar e afirmar que ela é nota dez, mesmo tendo falta disto ou daquilo., mas eu não me importo.

O casal principal divinamente tem muita química, mesmo os dois não tendo um contacto físico, eles já têm química só pelos olhares. Eles combinaram muito. Nem sempre um policia fica junto com um criminoso, mas mesmo com esse obstáculo eles conseguiram criar a sua história e escreveram um "viveram felizes para sempre".

Mesmo com a função de investigar um casa, ainda existiu espaço para o amor, eu achei isso muito lindo, mas mesmo assim em certos momentos parecia que a investigação tinha sido colocada de lado, porque o Shao Fei seguia e perceguia Tang Yi. Mas aos poucos as verdades começavam a surgir.

Uma coisa que me deixou um pouco triste, foi saber o que acontece depois que o Tang Yi é solto... antes disso deveria referir que no final ele decide entregar-se pelos crimes que cometeu e assim ele se tornava uma pessoa mais justa para com a sociedade. Mas eu gostaria de saber o que aconteceu sobre o casal principal e o secundário. Talvez essa minha curiosidade não seja relevante... talvez.

O casal principal sempre me deixava com um sorriso largo, como o casal secundário, que inicialmente achei um pouco forçado, mas com o tempo eu fui aceitando.

Considerações finais.

Eu amei, achando mesmo o Shao Fei um pouco feinho, mas ninguém no mundo é bonito, porque a beleza é relativa, penso que todos os atores combinaram com os papeis, além disso eu depois de ver a série eu li a novel e achei fantástica. Recomendo a série sem pestanejar, para aqueles que são como eu, amam um série policial e um bom bl.

A good watch - inside a surrealist taking.

The one basic tenet of this action-packed, though surrealist, series is: ‘Gay life is commonplace and two men kissing will call absolutely no attention to themselves’... lol!

LOL... well, we all know that is not true! But, movies are just movies, and - as it turns out - this series is quite enjoyable if you manage to accept that surrealist premise.

The plot is acceptable, though on occasion it becomes exceptional… especially during those intimate confrontations between father and son, or between the two lovers. All of it within the limited scope of what a 10 episode series allows, of course. Not a lot of time to develop a masterpiece of scriptwriting. Very little patience to wait before scooping up the profits – I guess: LOL!

Acting is good, and again: exceptional during certain scenes. The crying scenes are moving but the conversations about right-and-wrong are perhaps the best. Very good acting overall, the more one thinks about it.

With regards to Music, it is carefully thought out and does a great job supporting the plot. Lastly, rewatch value is high: the movie is complex enough that it would entertain a second watching at a later time.

Um this doesn’t contain any spoilers but I just wanna say if you like mafia/mob stories and stories of other males you would like this show but if u not so much still try out the first two episodes then decided I was planning on dropping it until I stayed on longer and I realized it was really good and I decided to give it some love. And honestly history is a group u should all ways look out for because there super amazing and every year there shows get better and better like I can’t wait to see the one for the end of this year cause it might be better then the 2019 on but because of the pandemic I don’t think we will be able to see it but why have time now you might as well watch the show because you probably have a lot of time on your hands and also like there is barely any BL asian dramas out there so u might as well and if ur into a highschool love I recommend watching the other series they but out which is called Make Our Days Count really good and I hope u enjoy

I knew I would love this since I first watched the trailer.
The whole cop falls for gangster thing really gets me.

The story goes beyond romance and we get comedy, lots of great action and dramatics scenes. The chemestry between the two lead actors (Jake Hsu and Chris Wu) is amazing! When I saw the poster I tought they wouldn't work together but I was wrong. All interactons feels genuine. There is no awkwardsness, the kissing, the figthing, everything is really good. Also, I love how Meng Shao Fei’s personality is different and unique.
I didn't enjoy the secondary couple that much. Maybe because that kind of comedy doesn't really appeal to me. However, I consider Jack a good caracther.

Love the intro and ending musics, really fits the show!

I've just watched for the second time and it's even better now. Definitely worth watching.

STORY
The use of a "cops-and-robbers" theme sets this BL series apart from the usual stories happening in a school setting, and that enticed me to watch this. But what kept me on continuing to watch this are the wonderfully written characters and storylines. You won't find the usual all-good or all-bad characters here -- they are complex and their interactions and journeys in the series are really interesting to watch. Not using a university or high school scene in the series allows the makers to create something that's more than a love story, incorporating moral dilemmas that the characters go through as well as some relevant social issues. Common BL series plots such as coming-out-of-the-closet or unsupportive families and/or friends take a backseat (or "no seat at all") in this series, and that's fine. Although I recognize the importance of showing those struggles, other series are doing it already, and for this BL I feel like it transported me into a time when such matters are not a problem at all.

Most of the storylines were completed by the end of the series, there are some which I think were left unresolved, forgotten, or closed abruptly. But there's a good chance that you'll kind of forget those details

ACTING
Great actors working with great material equals a great show, and here you can't just say that this series is good because it has a great story -- the actors did a really good job in portraying the complexity of their roles.

MUSIC
TBH I haven't paid much attention to the music but when I did I find that the sounds chosen fit the scenes very well, so I'm only judging based on those times that I paid attention to -- thus a perfect mark.

REWATCH VALUE
HIStory always offers a different BL not only when compared to other franchises but even to their previous "seasons". The entire collection (seasons 1 to 3) showcases tons of different stories that I don't mind watching all of them from the first to the last.

The first paragraph of the description makes it seem like it is a different society type thing. It's not. The police officers don't all work for gangsters, this only happens a couple of times in the story. I also don't like how it says Tang Yi set a "love trap" for Meng Shaofei. Shaofei falls for Tang Yi first but having Shaofei fall in love with him was not Tang Yi's plan. The only thing Tang Yi was planning was getting revenge on the murderer of Tang Guodong. He was quite flirtatious with Shaofei, but I would not say he set up a trap of some kind. It feels very misleading. I was expecting some kind of elaborate plan Tang Yi had set up to be revealed at the end, but there wasn't one. Shaofei was the one who followed Tang Yi everywhere, willingly. He was the one making moves on Tang Yi and getting jealous when Tang Yi still seemed to be clueless about Shaofei's feelings.

Okay, I'll stop ranting about the description now. This story is so incredibly good. I don't really feel like I need to say much about how wonderful it is because I know many other reviews have done a great job of telling how good this show is. I love it, please watch it.

Please give us a season 2

I don't really know how to explain what happened to me when I was watching this. I started off a bit unsure, but something shifted for me in episode 3, especially after Jack and Zhao Zhi officially met, and I was just hooked. I went back and watched my favourite scenes all over again the day after I finished it. The plot doesn’t take always take the obvious route, and even where it does I didn't even mind. The characters were fun, layered, and played off each other so well. And honestly I need a season 2 and I need so so so much more Jack and Zhao Zhi. 100% more. Their talk on the staircase, the second face, the were you using me fight, it all came right at the end but it was SO GOOD and did so much for their dynamic which I was already obsessed with. I loved them SO MUCH. I want to know so much more about Jack, and about Zhao Zi and his life without a family.

Was this show actually perfect, no. But it ticked all my favourite boxes and the side characters were so good and I just had the most fun watching it.
