All my favorite Taiwanese actors in one drama! How I wish all full episodes with English subtitles would exist.. looking at the drama's theme, it looks promising & an emotional medical drama tribute about the unsung heroes of these modern times.
The story was about a group of 5 friends who are all art major college students, & their journey of romance, heartbreaks, friendship & life. Recalling the first time watching this, before "Honey & Clover", I already watched Joe Cheng in the hit drama "It Started With A Kiss". Here in "Honey & Clover", he plays as a senior architecture student who falls in love with his boss (played by Tarcy Su) from a company he had an internship with. Also, I have watched actor Eddie Peng as well before this, in "Chinese Paladin", he's a perfect comedian in both dramas, he's always great at playing funny characters! Here also, he plays as a multi-skilled sculptor/comic artist, who falls in love with pretty painter Hua Ben Yu, as well as a goofy friend among the group, and a loyal younger brother who helps his elder brother (played by Shin) with their family issues. It was also my first time watching other actors. I just found out that the actress playing Hua Ben Yu is Japanese singer Ito Chiaki from the band AAA. Her character was a naive freshman brought by her uncle professor (played by Chang Han) from her hometown to the university to study painting, where two guys will fall in love with her. It was also my first time watching Lego Lee here, who is a newcomer actor at that time, he was also cute to watch as he plays an architecture freshman who also falls in love with Hua Ben Yu; he thinks he does not have skills in art, so he went on his own journey finding his own path, until he works in part-time construction jobs. I was also amazed by actress Janine Chang, who was also my first time watching her here, she plays a pottery making student who falls in love with Joe Cheng's character, but turns out her love is one-sided, and one day, meets a playboy (played by David Chen) who will also fall in love with her. If you know Nylon Chen, he's also here as well, playing as one of Joe Cheng's college buddies. The characters all have great chemistry! Awesome actors, music, story & drama overall!
What if your death was a sad ending, then you will be reborn on your past? If you will do differently than in your past life, will there be a different ending, or still the same sad ending? I just find the story cool & interesting, even if it's just fictional or nothing like that happen in real life. The couples and their scenes in this BL were romantic & hot.
For me, the story is still considered a BL, since before the guy died, he has romantic feelings and fell in love with Mai Ying Xiong (Hero). Although Hero's girlfriend's soul possessed the guy's body, the fact that Hero & the other guy have feelings for each other still exists. I feel saddened for the girl, though, it's hurtful, I wished for the girl to rest in peace and move on.
I'm satisfied with this drama. There's story twists to watch for. The couples are good for each other. Fu De is such a funny character. I would love to time travel back to the year 2000, it was better, simpler times.
This was a funny yet heartwarming series! The friendship among the guys was also admirable as well, I liked how they were open about each other. I also learned BL stuff for the 1st time, like what '1 vs. 0' and 'fujoshi' is, LOL.
In the drama, there was a controversial scene where the guy took advantage on his drunk stepbrother, which is totally not a right thing for anyone to do just to gain someone's love. But for me, I think the point of this drama is just to tell a story between two lovers, Xing Si & Yong Jie, who are also stepbrothers, and how their relationship began. We have saw or heard real-life stories of people even killing or committing crimes in the name of love, it's a sad truth. This BL is only fictional, but also portrays real-life situations of people in relationships, which may not be perfect on the eyes of others, as long as they are with the person they love.
While the secondary BL couple, Teng Teng & Li Cheng's story was lovely, on how they turned each other from friends to lovers. The scenes when Li Cheng was learning BL stuff and trying to pursue Teng Teng was funny! I also liked how protective and sweet boyfriend Li Cheng is to Teng Teng.
Another interesting thing I learned was, the actress Cindy Chi, who plays as Li Cheng's childhood playmate and now his workmate, Mei Fang, was also the child actress from Jerry Yan and Ella's 2010 drama "Down With Love", who acted as Jerry's spoiled niece and Xiao Xiao Bin's elder sister, as well as a part of another History series, "Make The Days Count" as a high school student. I was surprised that she has grown up as a classy and talented actress!
Overall, this was a commendable History series, kudos to all the cast and crew, you all did great!
If we're getting used to watching action/police genres whether movies or dramas that has a leading man and leading lady as the couple, here in 'Trapped' drama, we will get to witness the romantic love story of BL couples, policemen finding love with men from the mob world. It's a fun yet sweet drama, one of the best BL series ever!
The actors looked beautiful yet matured, I have been watching them since I was a kid and they were still in their 20s during their heyday, now I feel old...
The writer of this story has a dreamlike BL romance in mind, with couples who were very sweet and in love for each other, yet the story is also realistic and relatable, it shows real-life issues to deal with about family and life, there's happy or sad memories but life still goes on, life is also too short, we need to try to continue and be happy for our loved ones who care for us. Thank you to the actors and crew behind the scenes for this excellent BL drama!
Pure Taiwanese romantic comedy at its finest! The funny antics of Show Luo and the iconic portayal of Rainie Yang as an eccentric female social rebel make them one of the most unlikely yet well-loved on-screen couples. Another wow factor as well was lending their sweet voices to the drama OST. I'm also glad to see Lee Wei here, he's an underrated actor. I enjoyed the entire moment watching this drama, whether if the scenes make me laugh a lot, or make me cry whenever the characters were suffering, I felt different emotions based on the scene. Everything and everyone on this drama was outstanding! This was one of the best romcoms I've watched!
This was an absolutely fun drama! The most interesting part was whenever they discuss the business of selling clothes. I learned many good values in this drama, especially being confident and caring around loved ones. Taiwan acting & soundtrack is undoubtedly good as always. The main lead actor, Bruce Chen, was very masculine and also funny on his naughty role as a rebellious high school student turned department store executive. While the main female lead actress, Amber An, has a relatable role, as a top, pretty high school student, whose studies were delayed and wasn't able to attend university for a decade due to poverty, until she meets the main male lead and worked in his department store. I'd also like to specially commend the other supporting actors, Sean Lee as the lawyer friend of the female lead, Mao Di as the funny cousin of the male lead, and Oceana Wu, as an unexpectedly female admirer of the female lead. There's lots of laughs, romance, learnings and realizations we will get on this drama. Please enjoy!
