Was there ever an explanation why they can't be together? Did I miss something? Why are they giving each other such a hard time? It was clear from the beginning that Kang Gook is in love with Tae Joo, but he doesn't want to commit to those feelings. Why? At the beginning it looked like an one-sided love. And apparently it was. I mean, Tae Joo confessed to him, saying he doesn't like seeing him with the girl, which means he only recently became aware of his feelings. But why did Kang Gook push him away after the confession? Is this all about the master-servant relationship? I'm really not familiar with the whole concept. How can someone have a bodyguard/servant at the same age? Why does Kang Gook has to play this role for the rest of his life? And if this is a societal problem, they could still have a romance in secret. While it looked in ep 3 and 4 like Tae Joo has the upper hand, in ep 5 and 6 we saw that in fact he is the weak one who depends on Kang Gook. I think there is a pretty nice power balance, so that's not an issue. Or is this rather about Tae Joo's immature personality? It seemed to me that Kang Gook didn't believe him when he confessed his feelings. I'm a bit lost here ...

This is so stupid, but I'm not mad at it ...

Exactly my thoughts ...

This deserves a higher rating.

Must be the best actor I have ever seen in a thai BL series. I plan to rewatch it, just to look at him again ...

Great acting in Love Mechanics

The kisses in most SK het dramas are so bad, that I don’t have any hopes.

Those aggressive training sessions are incredible btw. It hurts just by watching. Those actors are pretty capable.

If they want to make money, they have to do a happy end. The young audience don't want to watch psychological stories with sad ends.

I hope they kiss. Now I said it ...

It's just the Korean storytelling. The characters feel real and sometimes it can get extremely intense. I have seen many Korean dramas and some were beyond great. "Where your eyes linger" is just an example of good storytelling.

Well, you have a point. When I think about most Korean gay themed movies the characters were rather miserable. But it's still a step forward compared to those stories we got a decade ago where they killed themselves at the end. I think this series will have a happy end, though. Why even advertise it as a "BL series"? It's not the first gay themed series/movie from Korea.

I normally never complain about bad subs, but in this case ... Some dialogues make no sense to me ...

BL is a "genre" and it's very restricted. Look at most thai BLs. It's only about some cute boys falling in love and having some childish problems. It's about their love struggles and most of the time it's rather immature and childish. Trapped is one of the few BL series I recall that tried to do something different. It will remain a niche genre that's more like KPop, meant to entertain a young (female) crowd who loves to drool over good looking boys. I would prefer they make good high budget dramas with good writers where the characters just happen to be gay. That would do much more for the LGBTQ community too.

The characters are really complicated ... I don't see how they can end this in two episodes ...

I didn't know it's available on other platforms. Good for them!

Nobody has to pay for it. But if I got this right, the series is a Viki Original. It only airs on Viki. So the only way to support it, is watching it on Viki. I would even watch it there without subtitles, just to get them views. As an artist myself, I want to support the good stuff, otherwise the crap piles up.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend that website, but in the past you could find everything there, not sure about now ... I cannot find my way around with all those ads ...

You can cancel your subscription at any time. To watch this series you only need to pay for a month and not for the whole year ...

It’s on gcinee too. Everything BL is there, EVERYTHING
