How I came to watch Trapped i'm pretty sure bonibaru started tweeting about it, and then a few other people did as well, so i started watching while it was still airing for the first time. it was a bit of a mess, what with episodes cut into 15, 20, or 30min pieces and streaming sites getting taken down (especially toward the end of the run bc viki announced they bought it), but the subtitles were very good and very quick, and it was SUPER ADDICTIVE. it felt like a made-for-Logo-TV-movie: silly and ridiculous and adorable, with lots of heart and passion, somewhat handwavey plot, low budget, and full-on dedication to the portrayal of prettiness and romance and the drama of it all. also it was literally MADE OF FANFIC TROPES and legit queer, which was a spa for the soul just when i needed it :)
(of course, there were cliffhangers and the drama accelerated in the final few episodes, but i had faith and plenty of people to spoil me if things went south/warn me about content, so it all turned out okay.)
My favorite scene in Trapped this is kind of impossible to answer because "enemies to lovers" is my all-time number one trope, and the show consists of not one but TWO couples who fit this category, so - all of that is my favorite?!?! hmmmmmmm. okay: i love, love, LOVE the birthday scene with MSF and TY which starts out emo angsty, then turns super sweet, then silly, and then sexy - because what a beautiful range, and look how far they've come together! also, the scene with jack and ZZ in the kitchen when jack says he's come to stay if ZZ wants him, and they end up making out on the... island? table? clearly i need to rewatch MORE CAREFULLY. but i love it when a cool and aloof character lays their cards out in such a vulnerable way.
I like Trapped because see above re: tropes! plus i really like the emphasis on resolving emotional conflicts while building a relationship. there's plenty of chemistry and hotness and mutual attraction, but the team behind this show has done such a lovely job of telling the story that the key component - the trust they end up having in each other - feels truly earned.
