Title We Best Love: No. 1 For You
I agree with Sathiperera. If you didn't like *any* of the HIStory series, this one might not do it for you either.
People praising Trapped so much, surprises me a lot. A bunch of cops who behaved like children, some cheesy cliche BL scenes and then Jake Hsu's acting who was over the top most of the time? Chris Wu was great and stunning, though. And the plot with the father was good. But the whole series wasn't balanced out. I rewatched it several times, and still got the impression it didn't flow right. This was a very mediocre production, all over the place, with some great scenes, some great acting, but no consistency. I think people love it so much, because it was different (like even someone commented here). With some minor changes like reducing those silly and unnecessary scenes in the first half and making the cops more believable, it could have been much better. The end was also a disaster. I later heard two different writer were working on it, and it felt exactly like that. No offense, but Trapped is sure not a good example of a great series with great writing and great production. After watching Trapped and MODC (which was also not balanced out at all) I felt like I should skip Taiwan BL in the future. WBL is a rather generic story, but the actors are charismatic, the characters well written and the most important thing: it's not so messy. But it's nothing new or groundbreaking. That's for sure.
