The first 2-3 episodes might seem a little forced or cringey, but as soon as the story paces up, it becomes such a treat to watch. Every single thing about the serie was wonderful: be it the story, the acting, the pace, the music. THE COUPLES!!! Truly loved all 3 of them. The chemistry between the leads and the secondary characters are drool-worthy.
To be frank, I didn't watch anything that was as compelling as this for some time now. I was getting really bored with everything but History 3:trapped revived the reputation of the drama world for me.
Really have to thank the storywriters and the producers for not making the bl couples' story too cringe or unoriginal.
Everything about history 3: trapped is so fresh and amazing, it's such a well done serie. PLEASE WATCH IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
also i guess i'll have to check out the other seasons too now! can anyone tell me if they're equally as good as this one??

EL BALANCE PERFECTO ENTRE MAFIA, POLICÍAS Y BOYS LOVE
Ya sea como drama policíaco o como drama BL es muy bueno. Parece imposible que estos dos géneros opuestos encajen tan bien pero de verdad me gustó mucho como lograron combinarlo sin dejar de lado nunca la historia principal ni el romance.Si tengo que mencionar una falla del drama es que la historia me confundió al inicio. El drama comienza por un suceso importante que ocurrió en el pasado de los protagonistas y la trama principal se desarrolla en torno a eso, lo cual nos cuentan y
se menciona varias veces pero al apenas estar conociendo a los personajes no me quedó claro lo importante que fueron para ellos las personas involucradas, nunca llegamos a verlo en flashbacks hasta el episodio final. Pienso que hubiera sido mucho mejor mostrarlo como escena inicial para entender el contexto, y no se consideraría spoiler porque es algo que sabemos desde el principio. Otra cosa, es que las escenas de acción que involucraban muchas personas no siempre eran muy buenas (como la del estacionamiento) y aunque no es tan notorio que la producción no es muy grande como en otros dramas, sí hubo algunos momentos como estos. En cambio, las escenas de pelea individuales y con armas son bastante buenas y vemos a los protagonistas en muchas ocasiones involucrados en este tipo de escenas y se sienten naturales ya que literalmente es su trabajo.
El desarrollo de los protagonistas y cómo pasan a ser de enemigos a amigos y pareja es HERMOSO. Tanto Shao Fei como Tang Yi son personajes muy bien construidos, en solo 10 capítulos conocemos distintos lados de ellos. En un inicio se muestran como hombres fuertes que no están dispuestos a ir en contra de sus principios, pero poco a poco comienzan a abrirse mostrando su versión mas vulnerable demostrando que ambos tienen un corazón precioso. Y todo esto es posible gracias a que ambos actores hacen un trabajo excelente, ya sea en escenas de acción como en las emocionales, porque sí, algo que es muy notorio desde el primer capítulo es que tienen una química increíble.
Además de los protagonistas también tenemos a algunos personajes secundarios. Primero está la pareja secundaria que tienen su propia historia y desarrollo, siendo tan entretenidos de ver como los principales. También están los compañeros de trabajo de Shao Fei, el elenco de actores adultos que lo hicieron muy bien y otra pareja secundaria que no me gustó para nada pero que se concluye su historia a mitad del drama lo cual agradecí.

Everyone take notes, THIS is how you Enemies to Lovers !
The best portrayal of "Enemies to Lovers" I have ever seen ! A mob boss and a cop fall in love while protecting one another and it's so beautiful and tender, toss in the fact that both of them are Super Badass ! This is an absolute MUST WATCH. Plot twists abound, kept me watching ep after ep.I haven't watched literally any of the other HIStory series but this one was super impressive, Tang Yi and Shao Fei and both amazingly written, and neither of them are boxed in or super troupey, which I greatly enjoyed. Both of them are complex and feel real in a sense cause of that.
There's none of the creepy, bad touch, noncon that some BLs have between the main couple or the side couple (who are also super freaking CUTE and hilarious) which I Thank GOd for. All in all, I absolutely loved HIStory: 3 Trapped and I highly highly recommended it !

I just finished this and all i can say is wow that was a ride. i love when a show uses real kisses and not just pecks i also love a good action scene of which there are many! The tension is so real i loved it. I typically dont like things that dont have a happy ending but this ending was happy enough to still leave me hopeful and content with everything (im being very general so the show is still satisfying to watch) if you are someone like me who doesnt watch shows with sad endings then i would still recommend this to you it is enjoyable and really really well acted Considerați utilă această recenzie?
Basically, I am not into action especially the one that tells story about the mob versus police, it always kinda boring and usually made my mood down easily but this one succeeded brake my wall eventually.
If we compared to “Make Our Days Count”, honestly I don’t have any idea which one that I love the most. Because between these two, the have their own specialties that made the choices hard for me.
Now, I can continue watching my 2021 series. But I think I’m gonna sleep first. ?

Season 1 – this is actually just 3 completely unrelated stories. “My Hero” is a supernatural film that is really just kind of weird. Hero’s girlfriend is mistakenly taken by the angel of death and in an effort to keep her soul on earth with Hero, he shoves her into the first available body who happens to also be in love with Hero. “Stay Away from Me” is better and deals with a taboo of new step-brothers who develop feelings for each other and a friend who desperately wants them to be together. “Obsession” is even better and actually rather well written even though there is a supernatural element to it as the lead dies and wakes up alive 9 years earlier. “Obsession” is the only episode in Season 1 that actually opens up the physical side of BL dramas. It’s clear that the writers got better with each episode. Thankfully the remaining seasons were not like this.
Season 2 – This season is 2 separate stories broken into 4 episodes each. Episodes 1-4 are called “Right or Wrong” and involve a professor/student relationship. Episodes 5-8 “Crossing the Line” are about a volleyball team manager and his junior he recruits to play for the team due to his natural ability. The relationship that develops between them is sincere and set at a good pace for only being 4 episodes. There is also another step-brother relationship in this one (this seems to be a favorite theme among the HIStory writers as we will see it yet again in Season 4).
Season 3 – “Trapped” is a hate turned love story between a goofy police officer and a super hot mob boss who is trying to get his outfit to go legit. There’s a secondary love story between a gun for hire and another police officer that’s also really cute. This one has a good looking cast, mostly decent acting, and a good storyline. However, the very final scene leaves you a bit unsatisfied and wanting to know what will happen in the future. Perhaps they will do a follow up season with this one at some point.
Season 3 – “Make Our Days Count” is both my favorite season and my least favorite season. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but get your tissues ready because you WILL cry. While Song Wei En and Huang Juan Zhi are the main couple in this series, my favorite couple is played by Zhang Han Yuan and Liu Wei Chen, and I’m assuming they were a lot of fans favorites as they appear as a couple in season 4 and are set to have their own upcoming season of “Make Our Days Count2”. I would also like to point out that our main couple makes an appearance in a cross-over project with Japan “Life-Love on the Line”.
Season 4 – “Close to You” is the latest season currently available. It deals with 3 best friends who work together as wedding planners. Li Cheng and Mu Ren are both “straight” men who fall in love. Again there is a step-brother relationship that actually gets the parents involved this time. Let me tell you, mom is a bit of an odd one. And of course as stated previously, our favorite couple from season 3 makes a really cute appearance in a few of the episodes.

The one to save all the others!
Came back here after finishing HIStory 5,and watched it again so my heart is mended( read my review there and you will understand). From all the seasons, this one was the closest to perfect. The plot, the actors, the chemistry...it had action, comedy and romance all in one. No couple with weird cringe backstory(I'm looking at you History 1,2 and 4). So yeah, when i get disappointed by one of the seasons, i come back to this one to forget and all is good again in the world. Both series from season 3 are up there, at the very top, but i'm more into this one because i have a weakness for a mature story so each with their own. All in all, 10 stars with no hesitation !Considerați utilă această recenzie?

I actually love this one, the SUITS.
This is a mafia romance with a villain/cop pairing, no real seme/uke dynamic. It has a killer plot with a bit of a mystery element, good story and dialogue. Enemies to lovers (with good reason to mistrust each other) who fall madly in love anyway. It's higher heat, the kisses are great and they're both pretty much out bisexuals. The reason I dong give it a higher rating is this main couple's ending is amorphous with long term separation implied.The side dishes are a friends to lovers HEA pairing who also have good chemistry, although slightly lower heat, but are great characters. The naive innocent wonderkin sweetie and the cheerful but deadly mercenary assassin who decides that this is going to be HIS man. So there. They are utterly adorable and use food as their love language, possibly one of my favorite couples.
Despite the mafia theme, there are actually very few triggers in the one. It's full consent and quite sweet for how much they throw in sexy. Lots of little domestic moments too. But that ending...

Truly an Under Appreciated Gem
It's no surprise that many BL fans adore the entire HIStory franchise, and this series is no exception, even though newer releases may have disappointed some since Covid. The storyline is exceptionally well-crafted, steering clear of formulaic tropes. It's a rich portrayal of a gay man and a BL character, exploring their journey towards their first gay relationship. Gone are the whimsical, irrational falling-in-love scenarios often found in Thai BLs. Instead, we witness a genuine and authentic narrative.One aspect that sets this series apart is its avoidance of toxic themes commonly seen in other BLs. There are no exploitative SA or romanticized rape plot devices, despite the setting revolving around the police and mafia.
The acting is top-notch, something that may not be consistently seen in the newer installments of this franchise. Each character experiences significant development, adding depth and relatability to the story. From Shao Fai to Jack to Hong Ye and their respective partners Tang Yi, Li An, and Diao Yi, their connections and growth are compelling to watch.
A standout feature of this series is the excellent communication between characters, eliminating the need for annoying misunderstandings often found in lesser BL shows. This series truly caters to a more mature audience, foregoing the fluffy rainbows and magical unicorns that some BL fans may seek. It's a gem for those appreciating nuanced storytelling and well-crafted character arcs.

A tensão é maravilhosa
O casal principal foi se enroscando na vida um do outro de uma forma que eles não conseguiam sair!A mulher que inspirou um é mãe do outro!
Que casal maravilhoso! Aliás, casais maravilhosos!
O casal hétero foi fofo, mas faltu, as músicas achei muito fracas, mas atuações dos rapazes dos dois casais principais foram fenomenais!
Amei tudo e queria ver Tang saindo da prisão para ver o seu amado e eles ficarem juntos, nem que fosse uma cena de 3 min como pós créditos, mas amei Meng falando que vai sentir saudades!
Esse defnitivamente entrou no meu TOP 5 junto com Gameboys e HIStory 2: crossing the line!

A dinâmica policial x mafioso, não foi tratada nem tão leve, nem tão dramática excessivamente, tanto no casal principal como no secundário. Porém o desenvolvimento no casal hetero, não senti tanta firmeza, parecia mais medo de deixar ir do que realmente amar. E as cenas de lutas são com certeza seu ponto fraco.
Faltando um episódio para acabar, comecei a ler a novel e nela o que é início foi deixando para o fim, acho que para deixar mais dramático. Na cena da montanha não é explicado como voltaram, mas no novel sim, porém amei as cenas adicionais, ri muito.
A maior parte foi adaptada fielmente, mas queria que tivesse pelo menos uma parte do especial. Não sei porque, mesmo assim, teria sido legal ver Meng Shao Fei virando chefe e eles babando pela bebê da Hong Ye.

Main Couple: Shao Fei and Tang Yi
I was initially a little cold toward Meng Shao Fei's character, but his quirkiness and funny emotive facial expressions quickly won me over. He's a bit brazen, bullish, and immature, especially for a police officer, but he has a clear heart and is always forthright in his intentions. I liked Tang Yi out the gate (his voice is *chefs kiss*) but his backstory and affinity for warm smiles when he allows his walls to come down, especially grew on me. I'm really impressed that his character is introduced as bisexual right off the bat. No, "I'm only gay for you" trope at all; he's seen openly flirting with a man at the bar and it's obvious he's not concerned with how it'll look. The enemy-to-lovers trope (which I happen to love) is used in this series, but I felt like it was executed with natural ease, and I'd perhaps credit the writer's pacing for that because they don't automatically fall in love when they first begin spending more time together. They get to know each other as layers are peeled back and their walls come down one by one. At first glance, they're physically a rather unconventional pairing. Tang Yi is tall, elegant, well dressed, and handsome; while, Shao Fei is rather unkempt, unconventionally handsome, and awkward in his posture and body language (I think it's mostly the clothing choices and the hairstyle because he's much more attractive IRL- which is a big kudos to the styling team to bring such a contrast to their physicality). Together, they have a nice synergy that exudes unexpected natural chemistry. Both of their acting is on point, and I was again especially impressed by Chris Wu as Tang Yi, specifically in the heavier emotional scenes that take place near the end of the series (no spoilers). I've seen big emotional breakdowns like that in BLs before, but that one felt visceral and raw. Like I was watching a private moment.
Secondary Couple: Jack & Li An
One is a sm0l and innocent little bean, and the other is coy, mischievous, and has a contagious smile. Their instant chemistry and initial get-togethers were fun to watch. As their relationship grew, I enjoyed watching their chemistry change from that superficial innocence to something more meaningful. As a person, I had conflicting feelings toward Jack. His character is much more morally gray than I'd initially anticipated and I was disappointed in some of the choices he made.
"What to do when a man confesses to another man." LOL. Protect this pure soul.
Third Couple: Zuo Hongye and Gu Daoyi
I'm not remotely interested in this relationship. Hongye is petulant, selfish, and scheming. I don't like her, and I never warmed up to her character. Gu Daoyi is flat and glum at all times. Too hesitant or cowardly to reveal his true feelings until way late in the game. Very uninteresting.
OST: Nice variety in genres that bends easily between each scene, whether it was an action scene or a melancholic moment of self-reflection. Impressed.
Overall: An outstanding BL with such a strong story, it grips you throughout even if you're going in purely for the BL aspect. The acting was strong with everyone, but my superstar is Chris Wu. His range, and his moments of visceral anger or raw and childlike agony, blew me away. I cried with him - literally couldn't help myself. He displays his grief in such a gut-wrenching, all-encompassing way. From his body language to the way his face contorts with its last thread of restraint. I want to see him in more projects. The last few episodes especially were masterfully done.
Any negative feedback?
Not really, except I wish they did a 2nd season with the same characters, or at least an epilogue episode to add closure (no spoilers).
