I cannot promise "drama free". My statement above is based on the novel and the 5 episodes do far. As we all already have seen: the series follows only roughly the given path in the novel...

Finished this on one day :D
I usually only watch Japanese movies or Thai BL series, but this is my second Taiwanese series (Make our days count was the first). I like both History3 stories I watched so far, but Trapped was perfect. Just everything you want from a drama (drama, fun, entertainment, some hot scenes, seriousness....). I really enjoyed this deep going plot, while Make our Days count just bound me emotionally in.

The actors play well. Gui and Solo are within the parameters given by the novel. Both are introverted characters, not very expressive, more self-reflecting and non-emotional. If you keep this in mind, it becomes understandable.

I agree, however, this is not that much to make a 13-episode series of. The issue of this "drama" is that there is no drama - at least not in the novel. The director already knew this and therefore created side stories with invented characters, like Khem and the doctors. Khim just appears 2-3 times in the novel. And the teaser already introduced Linda, which is also different from the novel. And there is KaoPhu, which is going more intense, I think. There is not much to play with, if the basics are already that small.

To sum up: It is just not TharnType or Sotus. It is a small, harmless love story between some guys, a romance without anything deep going. I am also a bit disappointed, but you would be better if you just did not interpret things into this, which it does not have and cannot have.

Definitely

Reply to myself: I found it on youtube.

Just saw on Youtube, on their official channel MindTrio: a date for ep. 03
It will air on Oct, 24th at 6pm.
There is no link for sharing, sorry.

Ah, there are two versions!
I watched a short movie once, and the topic was similar. Unfortunately, the short film is deleted on youtube. I am sure it was the movie I watched. I watched the 2017 version and many things were familiar.

I already wanted to comment this, but you came first. Perfectly said and thank you for this statement. Since it is for advertisement, I am also quite sure we won't see "hot scenes", haha.

That side story in part 5 ... :-o

Thank you. Apparently, Line updated something. I also could not log into my normal line account. I finally watched it.

Ok. So that's it. I watched about ten minutes, some new faces. Endless waffling. Without any subs this is crap.

Looks like there aren't any subs. At least, my button disappeared.

It's also in My Ambulance.

I don't know why GMM went crazy and blocked contents in most SEA countries. You can watch it via YT, but only when it premieres. Need to be on time, because a second after it finishes they will block.

Where do you watch it with sub? My Line does not have subs...

I find the ending very sad. I am already 43 years old but had tears in my eyes. I was once like Shi Gu, only studying. I rejected boyfriend proposals until my end of 20ies. I have never been in my life in a disco, for instance. So, I can really understand what is going on in him, although I was not driven by the same force as him. What really makes me sad is, that if anyone had deserved to become happy, it would be Shi Gu.

I think, it is not that bad. And I have read that they are making a second season of this. So, the ending might not be as we all think it is. Thank you for your compassionate words. I am not suicidal, just those 2 lockdowns in my area are not really making my life happy. That is why I do not want to watch anything negative. I just was not prepared for that ending...

Those episodes are only available outside Southeast Asia, though.

If you are in a depressed mood, no. I watched it this night and I am emotionally a bit overwhelmed. I should have stopped at episode 5 or 6.

Does anyone know where I could watch this?
I watched it in 1997 in a small cinema and it was hilarious. It also aired once on TV but since then it disappeared. This is really a must, if you can cope with Japanese weirdness.
