i agree! i get that is a different and more mature plot than most of BL's out there, and i praise them for it,…
so now i can't watch a high rated drama out of interest for the story and disagree with said rating? you said it was a matter of personal taste. ME, PERSONALLY, quite like the drama but wouldn't rate a 9.0. no one here even said the drama was bad. if you think trapped is worth this high rating, ok, go on! it's your opinion and it's valid. but there's nothing wrong about people writing their critiques of a drama they've watched. this is exactly what mydramalist is for. it's not supposed to be ONLY comments you agree with. you don't have to compare dramas and label people who didn't think this drama is a solid 9.0 as biased to bl in bromance's disguise.
this exceeded my expectations. i liked the first season, but this to me was way better, even though it was not perfect. what i liked: the acting was incontestable superior. it didn't felt as stiff as the last season. i liked how the other characters besides the main pairing had actual personalities and were relevant this time. i felt that in last season everyone was kind of "reactive characters" and didn't have that much of an identity, like beam for example. in this, instead, i actually loved beam and got to see and understand him. i also LOVED forth in this. he stole the show, his acting was great, he did great kissing scenes and was natural. sometimes in bl dramas the actors look "uncomfortable", kind of stiff in intimate scenes, but in this everything went smooth. Ming and kit were also super cute and enjoyable. their back and forth was cute to watch, and they were great actors. i had my doubts about Phana because i thought Benjamin was too cute to play him, but at the end i was surprised with how it turned out. the only thing that wasn't 100% for me was Wayo. earth is a good actor, but i thought his "cuteness" act felt a little bit forced in some scenes, and made me cringe a little bit. but it wasn't even that bad or noticeable. even though i liked the old cast, this one did really great and were able to portrait a more consistent 2moons. i understand that a lot of people are attached to the old cast and because of that it was hard to watch this season and like it, but i think this version really deserves a chance. i'm hoping for a 3 season with this amazing cast!
I wanted to understand the hype but I couldn’t, SO overrated.
Does this drama get better? because i tried to get into this drama 3 times because of the absurd high rate, but i bores me to death and i can't never pass the 4th episode mark.
I love this drama so much, even though it took me some time to finish. Yoo Jin was my favorite character! probably one of my favorite characters EVER. The one true star of this drama. She’s brilliant. her acting is impeccable, and she has the power to make people love and hate her at the same time. I hate her, cried for her and pitied her, and yet i was also mesmerized by her power and her fierceness. i don’t think i’m gonna feel this greatly for any other character in any drama for a while. that said, i don’t really get it how people ship her and Je Ha together. it's like they don't get Je Ha's character at all. Both Yoo Jin and him are two sides of the same coin. They are both the main leads to me, (i don’t think Anna had a great importance in the plot as Yoo Jin) and they have an explosive chemistry but i don't think it’s “romantic” by no means. he always displayed his distaste for her, even when he helped and saved her. He even said that she was what he despised the most, someone who only sees her own pain and don't care about others at all, when he relates to other people's scars too much. I don't know if what she felt for him was a true care or not, since Je Ha himself said she only "cared" about him because she needed someone to worship, like she did with Se Joon while she was younger. maybe because he were the only authentic person around her, who didn’t adored her blindly. I think she was someone who was desperate for love. she was never loved and all the relationships in her life - her family, and her husband - were empty. She is a very emotional and complex character and a vital piece of Je Ha's development, but to me it's clear that (even though i found Anna impossibly whiny and she didn't developed AT ALL in the entire drama!!!!) it's her who Je Ha needs to "redeem" himself, since she is that pure, kind hearted soul cliche while he is the tormented hero and all that jazz. to think he and Yoo Jin could ever end up together is not taking in consideration Je Ha's character and his beliefs in the least. he would never be with someone so scarred as Yoo Jin, he’s that type of hero who wants to protect the weak and the pure, and Yoo Jin is nothing like that. I truly believe anyone could repent and become better, but the thing about Yoo Jin's character that i love so much and makes her who she is, is that she's unapologetic. Of course that are somethings that hurt her, and sometimes she regrets. she’s full of sadness in her past. but in the end, if it means she gets what she wants, if she gets the power she desires so badly, Yoo Jin endure any regrettable choice and just keep going. She wouldn’t ever “change” her ways for anyone when she had already come that far, even if it means she’s gonna loose people he cares in some way. She is everything Je Ha can't stand it, and to me is because both of them are quite similar. They are the same, Je Ha and Yoo Jin, and at the same time they are very different. I don't think she is a villain, in the end. Yes, she did a lot to bad things and i despise her for it, but she was also a very hurt and sad character that became a slave of her suffering. That said, i like the drama quite a lot. the characters are great. Anna bothered me with her lack of development and the way she didn’t do anything to move the plot forward, she was just.. like, existing and suffering the entire drama. I pitied her so much, but i wanted her to grow and become brave, to fight for herself without needing others saving her all the time. i think she is in the drama to teach a lesson about forgiveness, but it could be way better portrayed. The pace gets a little bit draggy in the end, but the last episodes are the best. I had the impulse to punch almost every character in the face at least twice, but it's worth it the high rate after all.
Pretty sure, everyone is biased because this is a BL with an actual plot lol. It was good but i wouldn't go as…
i agree! i get that is a different and more mature plot than most of BL's out there, and i praise them for it, but i think people get really biased with the freshness of the plot and excuse some things that would be unpopular in any other drama. Shao Fei's character's personality is one of those things to me. It was good drama overall and i quite enjoyed, would watch a second season, but it surprised me that in the romance tag this drama is the third highest rate in kisskh, going even higher than all other BL and all other famous romance dramas out there.
probably a very unpopular opinion, but i don't think this deserve the high rating it has. (it's one of the highest ratings in the entire website!!!) Don't get me wrong! IT IS a good drama and they have chemistry, Tang Yi is unbelievable charming, there was an actual plot and i quite enjoy bl dramas that avoid that same old "high school cliche". i would watch a second season of this. BUT the hype was so big that i was expecting a masterpiece, when in fact i don't even think this is the best HIStory. To be completely honest, i had a hard time liking Shao Fei's character and his acting. Even though i praise this series for not having a childish plot, his character is very childish and kind of silly, and it was hard for me not to be annoyed by his noisiness. Since he is the protagonist, it gets really hard to get into the story when the lead doesn't grow on me. it was good, and i understand that a lot of people liked this because of the freshness of the plot, but i wasn't for me and i definitely would't rate as 9.0 :(
this is my comfort drama. it's my favorite korean drama of all times and every time there's nothing new and good enough on my watchlist i just watch this all over again.
I don't understand why people keep saying this is a sad ending, they are confusing others and it's annoying. In…
i think for most people this is they first time watching a chinese bl adaptation... compared to all the other chinese bl dramas out there, the ending wasn't even that bad. i've seen way worse. of course i would love a more "explicit" happy ending, but to me, even if it was a open ending, was kind of happy with that last scene where wei ying turns around and smile. I don't even know how they pull out that reunion at the end finishing with an happy note in china, so i'm gonna be happy with what we've got so far...
i know my opinion in this will be a very unpopular one. since this drama have a high rating and everyone seems to like it, i guess i had high expectations and ended up kind of disappointed. the plot was cliche and predictable, but it was ok and kind of amusing, so it wasn't a big of a problem. my issues lay here: FML character was completely unbearable to me, especially in the first episodes. she only had three moods at the majority of the time: sad (in a completely over the top way) mad (in a completely over the top way again), and annoyed. she was easily triggered by everything and at some point started to annoy me, even though i wanted really bad to like her character and her personality. ML was good, wasn't a jerk CEO what is surprising in dramas, and i liked him and his youthful vibe. To me the best and only character i was drawn to. Even though i like the actor who plays the 2nd lead i wasn't very fond of his character. it was ok, but kind of boring to me, and i feel like he always portrait the same type of 2nd male lead. The other female and male roles were ok. nothing amazing and surprising, but nothing bad either. overall it's not that is a bad drama at all, but i was expecting the most amazing drama from 2019 the way i read amazing comments about this in every single website. i guess it just wasn't for me this time!
i loved this and i'm so glad i decided to watch it. even if sometimes i wanted to put some sense in FML's head, everything was so enjoyable and heartwarming. Also, this had the best character development ever. it was amazing seeing them evolving from high school friends, still young and immature to adults with complex lives and problems. i also loved the sibling relationship in this. Guan Chao is truly the brother everyone wants to have. i really enjoyed this drama!
what i liked: the acting was incontestable superior. it didn't felt as stiff as the last season. i liked how the other characters besides the main pairing had actual personalities and were relevant this time. i felt that in last season everyone was kind of "reactive characters" and didn't have that much of an identity, like beam for example. in this, instead, i actually loved beam and got to see and understand him. i also LOVED forth in this. he stole the show, his acting was great, he did great kissing scenes and was natural. sometimes in bl dramas the actors look "uncomfortable", kind of stiff in intimate scenes, but in this everything went smooth.
