Hi, hi, I found this comm through a mention at maggie33's post, and I've been excitedly reading through the recaps. Thanks for creating this comm! Trapped is the series that ate my brain last year and continues to do so, even though I got a little side-tracked by the Untamed as well.
How I came to watch Trapped
I was vaguely aware of the HIStory series since 2018, and finally got round to watching both the HIStory2 series, and from there found that there was a HIStory3 series in the works. The trailer was adorable so I started following when it began airing.
My favourite scene in Trapped
Oh where to start.
The lift scene, for the excellent back and forth dynamic between MSF and TY. But the scene that really got me was the one in hospital, with TY's late night visit. I get emotional no matter how many times I see that scene. The two of them having an understanding just through a simple interaction... I could see forever for them in that.
For Jack and ZZ, it would have to be Jack's first visit to ZZ's home, where he examines the possessions left behind by ZZ's grandma: it's like some knowledge slotting into place for him, that this is ZZ, who openly defied him but is like the boy next door. And that look Jack gives to Jun Wei when he goes to pick up ZZ (outside the police station): that look of hey, take your arm off from my ZZ''s shoulders. And Jun Wei is all, okaaay, he's yours.
Why I like Trapped
They're... adults? No, seriously, the previous HIStory series mostly involved high school students, and I enjoyed the change in setup when it came to Trapped. That and the unabashedly tropey relationship shenanigans between the pairings.
