HIStory3: Trapped (2019)

Mafia Boss vs The Police? Heck Yeah!

I remember I watched this around December 2019 on my sister's recommendations. This is the best HIStory, imo. The story is very good and since I'm a simp for enemies-to-lovers troupe, this is perfect. The chemistry between the first couple and the 2nd couple are sooooo goood. The plot is great and the NC's timing were very good. I loved how they put comedy in this series too. They could make it serious but funny and sweet at the same time. but the ending kinda ruined it for me...LIKE WHY IT HAS TO END WITH TANG YI'S IMPRISONMENT?! FREE TANG YI!
I would recommend this to someone who like detective/police series and love NC's between the couples.

Amazing love story, packed with action, cuteness, and perfect chemistry

I am not an ease one to please. If fact, I rarely get excited by BL movies and dramas (although I keep watching them for some reason....), but this one was a completely different league.

The story is mature (not your average boyish, coming-out plot). Everything revolves around a cat-and-mouse game between police and mafia. The main leads are simply perfect: cute, handsome (OK, I know they all are, but I had to mention it), with realistic characters, feelings and actions. Their characters evolve over time in a convincing way (one can understand why they change and what their thoughts are - this does not mean necessarily that one has to agree, but it's believable). The balance between romance and action is good, and the portion of intimacy just right. Everything is sprinkled with a dose of humor (but not too much to spoil the mixture), mainly arising from the side characters. The main characters gradually fall for each other (oh well it is a BL drama after all), but they do not question their feelings, rather they question their life choices and how they led them to today's situation. And this is what I expect from adults living in a modern society. There are the occasional ticklish scenes (such as provoking jealousy or fear), but not too much. Relationships are critically looked at, but not overdramatized. And people actually work, they do not just sit around discussing their heart's adventures, although the latter ones naturally emerge from the plot.

I consider this series a rare gem, which I personally rewatched twice (I can barely remember doing that for any other BL series). It is hard to tell if I am being objective, or it just hit the right nerve, but in my defence I am neither a cop nor a mafia member, so I wish to believe it is the first... :-)

Cringey but I love it

This show had me rolling my eyes every bloody second but I love it. History3 Trapped was definitely better than the first two season. Even though it was less realistic it had a more interesting plot and excellent chemistry between the leads which was missing from the first two seasons. Also, it didn't enforce any problematic behaviours. I loved how this wasn't a high school or college plot, and I love the mystery, action plot they gave us. Especially on the budget that must have been available for this show.

I really recommend this show if you're looking for a fun show, with quite an interesting in depth plot. If you're looking for something serious and realistic this probably isn't it.

CHEMISTRY OVERLOAD

April 13, 2021

History 3: Trapped, hands down one of the steamiest and strongest chemistry out there for both main and second lead couple. However, there are major flaws in writing especially in the plot. Like how did Officer Meng went from hating Tang Yi to suddenly loving him. It was such a huge jump in terms of feelings that it bothered me so much. Also, HOW ON EARTH IS OFFICER MENG AND HIS SUBORDINATE THE ONE WHO IS LINKED WITH JACK BOTH POLICE. LIKE NOT GONNA LIE BUT THESE TWO CAN BE HUGE IMBECILES. Another huge plot that irked me is the villain, how can you make such a big deal of finding the real culprit then make it underwhelming the moment they are caught. It's like there was no climax...

Anyway on to the good stuff. Honestly, this would be a 10/10 if they fixed that storyline. I already talked about chemistry so now I'll talk about their dynamics. First of all, Officer Meng and Tang Yi, Officer Meng literally turned Tang Yi into such a soft puppy towards him only. Like, when Officer Meng did not answer him for a day, Tang Yi was about to bawl his eyes out. Also, I find their statement "let's kiss then talk" so hilarious. These two make out so good like daaaaamnnn. Their steamy scenes really got me running around my room like Tang Yi and Officer Meng are so aggressive even when they had angry s- yah that part heheh

Jack and Officer Meng's subordinate REALLY OUT HERE SHOWING WHAT LOVE CAN DO. JACK GAVE UP EVERYTHING FOR THAT MAN. IF THAT AIN'T LOVE THEN IDK WHAT THAT IS. They made me so jealous like I want this kind of relationship in my life. Jack has the biggest growth in terms of character development, I really wanted more of their scenes. I hope these two actors can star in another drama or even their own spin-off cause holy mother- their chemistry is just off the roof.

One of the best BLs I've watched

This is my first review here, sorry if it's bad, but I love this drama so much, I had to write something.
First, I've watched this one I think two times and a "half", and I'm definitely not the type re-watch something, so that tells you something about the story.
The main couple is really sweet, and, even with the obstacles and the clear differences between them, they manage to be one of my favorite BL couples, the actors did SO WELL with them, even when they're not being intimate, you can tell they're attracted to each other. They're lowkey an enemies to lovers kind of couple, but I feel like there was always tension in between them. Also, when the policeman (I forgot their names lmao) started showing signs of liking, he was soooo cute.
Now, my favorite couple is actually the second one. They're so cute so sweet, they're were clearly going to be together from their first interaction, the amount of times I've watched YouTube compilations of those two together... God!! I love them!!! I love the contrast between the cute and naive policeman, with the "dark", clever and dirty minded mafia guy. And I love how they're were not toxic, and Jack never forced anything to happen. He knew exactly how to flirt, and I looooove their ending.
I would love to see a season 2 showing how their lives changed since starting being a relationship with a mafia person. That would be so cool!!!

Great Premise but Lacks Chemistry

I've completed eight different BL series now, so I feel like I have a handle on what constitutes performances with good chemistry. It's hard for me to tell if the writing is weak, the acting is weak, or both are weak. Whether it was an okay script with poor performance or a poor script with a decent performance, I can't quite tell, but I feel like it could be one or the other.

The story was interesting, but not interesting enough to overcome the weaknesses in actor performances and their chemistry. It truly felt like everybody was just reciting their lines and perhaps even overacted in some scenes. Episode 9 was my breaking point. I might have dropped it at episode 8 if not for the cliff hanger.

But sadly it's enough. It's a shame because I like the premise here. The cop and the mobster. But all the character interactions leave me wanting. I actually started and finished watching two other series while trying to get through these episodes. I feel like that communicates my watching experience the best. The two series that trumped this one were Manner of Death, and We Best Love: No. 1 For You.

So despite its high overall rating, if the most important things to you are acting and chemistry then I'd recommend you skip this one.

Macchiette & co.

Mi spiace ma non riesco proprio a guardarlo. Non capisco tutto l'entusiasmo che gira intorno a questo titolo, a meno che non sia per quella che per il momento è la futura relazione tra i protagonisti. Arrivata quasi alla fine del terzo episodio ne ho avuto abbastanza. Il poliziotto è un personaggio insopportabile, tutta la stazione di polizia lascia alquanto a desiderare. Dalla parte dei malviventi, l'algido protagonista è bellissimo ma, per dirla tutta, non mi attizza per nulla. Soprattutto, dopo aver visto diversi altri titoli ambientati nella malavita, sono ormai stufa di questo approccio così macchiettistico, che non rende giustizia al genere. Mi domando dove sia, se ne esiste uno, un BL con un'ambientazione non dico impeccabile, ma almeno un po' credibile. Purtroppo il poliziotto scemo invece di risa, mi suscita una profonda irritazione. So di andare controcorrente ma non posso farci nulla. Magari affronterò nuovamente questo titolo più avanti e potrei anche cambiare idea, come già mi è capitato in passato. Per il momento parto per altri lidi.
Lascio una sufficienza perché mi rendo conto di aver abbandonato molto all'inizio.

BẪY - TRAPPED

Thể loại: Phim BL, Hiện đại, Xã hội đen công x Cảnh sát thụ, Ngọt ngào, cẩu huyết, HE~
Nước sản xuất: Đài Loan
---
Phim đã chiếu xong và cũng đã sub xong nhé bà con, có thể nhảy ngay khỏi bận tâm suy nghĩ =)))

Tóm tắt sơ lược:

Bốn năm trước đã xảy ra một vụ nổ súng khiến một đại ca hắc đạo và một nữ cảnh sát mất mạng, nhân chứng duy nhất tại hiện trường vụ án chính là Đường Nghị, thiếu chủ kế nhiệm của băng đảng Hành Thiên Minh.

Sau sự kiện này, Đường nghị một mực tẩy trắng Hành Thiên Minh theo di ngôn mà Đường gia để lại, bên cạnh đó anh vẫn miệt mài muốn báo thù cho cái chết của Đường gia.

Mạnh Thiếu Phi là chàng cảnh sát có thể dùng các từ dương quang, xán lạn, nhiệt tình, năng nổ để diễn tả. Cậu chàng cũng cực kỳ dũng cảm, có chút bốc đồng nhưng nội tâm vô cùng tình cảm. Bởi nữ cảnh sát thiệt mạng là đàn chị yêu quý của của cậu nên Mạnh Thiếu Phi một mực bám theo Đường Nghị hòng tìm ra manh mối của vụ án bí ẩn bốn năm về trước này.

Tèn tén ten~ bốn năm “đeo bám”, đâu dễ gì mà coi người ta như không khí được đúng không. Tất nhiên, phải đến khi biến cố xảy ra, bí mật ẩn sau thân thế của Đường Nghị và sự kiện bốn năm trước dần hé lộ thì tình cảm của hai anh chàng này mới dần bộc lộ và được thúc đẩy theo.

Mình phải thừa nhận diễn viên Đài chưa bao giờ mang cái vẻ đẹp hào nhoáng chói lòa, nhưng mà càng nhìn lại càng ưng bụng và mỗi một nhân vật đều diễn vô cùng trọn vai.

Nếu cp chính là Hắc đạo mặt liệt công x Cảnh sát dương quang thụ với muôn vàn cảnh ấm áp ngọt ngào, tương ái tương sát thì cp phụ chính là yếu tố khiến mình chỉ muốn hét ầm ĩ mỗi khi xuất hiện. Đó là một Jack với vai trò là cánh tay đắc lực của Đường Nghị và Triệu Lập An - một chàng cảnh sát cực kỳ ngây thơ đáng yêu. Cp này mình rất rất muốn gọi thân thương là cp Husky x Shiba bởi nhìn hai đứa nó quấn quýt nhau cưng vỡi chó mèo luôn.

Tóm gọn lại thì phim rất hay, vừa đủ yếu tố tình cảm lại vừa có chiều sâu, có pha chút hành động và cả tình cảm gia đình. Yếu tố hắc đạo và phá án không phải nét chính nhưng nhờ nó chỉ là nền nên ta mới được chiêm ngưỡng nhiều hơn ở mảng tình cảm. Phim có cp nam nữ mà mình cũng cực kỳ thích, ai ghét bạn nữ này chứ mình thì hoàn toàn không nheeeee, bạn ấy đáng yêu mà, yêu trúng ông chú cũng khổ tâm lắm chứ đâu dễ dàng gì =)))

Với mình, chỉ cần thấy cái tên series HISTORY làm phim thì coi bất chấp, coi không bỏ sót bất cứ phim nào. Vậy nên mọi người cứ tự tin - tin tưởng mà nhảy hố lẹ nheeeee.
