Hello and thank you for setting this up! I’m new to Dreamwidth so I hope I don’t screw up my first comment.
How I came to watch Trapped I was looking for something relatively lighthearted and enjoyable to watch - also preferably not too long, as I’m terrible at pacing myself! - to get me through a miserable day, and I remembered seeing a couple of mentions of this floating around on Twitter from people whose opinions I trust.
My favorite scene in Trapped I’ve only watched the show through once so far (quickly - see my earlier comment on having no self-control!) and the scene that currents stands out for me is when Meng Shaofei holds Tang Yi as he’s breaking down and flailing in distress after learning the truth about his parentage. This is MSF’s superpower: giving love and comfort to a difficult person in difficult circumstances. And I have a bit of a thing for this sort of scene (as witnessed by my appreciation of a very similar moment in Shadowhunters). Although there are many other things about MSF that are fabulous, such as his ridiculously sunny disposition or his braveness despite his inexperience, I choose this moment and this aspect of his character. Perhaps my second favourite scene is in the lift. Well, actually, MSF being all competent and badass to get himself into the lift beforehand then being out-badassed by TY once in the lift and ending up handcuffed to the rail. There are many other elements in this scene (the power play back and forth, for instance) but it’s the combination of badassery I’m going for now.
I like Trapped because It’s so much fun! We all know it’s silly and can’t be taken seriously, but within those bounds it does what it does with aplomb. I’m a sucker for a romance against the odds story. Add in the fantabulous Jack, many hilarious moments, and ALL THE TROPES. Well, what’s not to love?
You can also find me on... Twitter. I’m new at all this fandom malarkey. Not a writer nor an artist, sadly, just someone who enjoys stuff and then enjoys talking about the stuff they enjoy. Also I like appreciating beautiful men.
