So lovely to see you on the comm too, no_detective! Welcome!
it felt like a made-for-Logo-TV-movie
It totally does, doesn't it? The budget wasn't great, but they made it work for what they had. There were actual locations and stuff, and the costumes were decent...except for the bits where I was confused why Tang Yi was wearing a turtle neck underneath his button-down shirt. (WHY?)
Also, the plot left something to be desired, but let's be real, we weren't watching for that. XD
"enemies to lovers" is my all-time number one trope,
One of my favorite things about Trapped is that it's clear that Shao Fei and Tang Yi have been enemies for a loooooong time. The whole Shao Fei being sued and having pursued Tang Yi for four years thing? LOVE IT. I am always dying for pre-canon fanfic of the two of them, I can just imagine them butting heads and it is so delightful knowing what follows later.
and the show consists of not one but TWO couples who fit this category
One of the things I am curious about is how much Jack and Zhao Zi knew of each other prior to the first episode. We know that Jack is relatively new to Xin Tian Meng (he's only been there a year), but Zhao Zi already seems to know of him (I'm sure Shao Fei has been spying on the syndicate and keeps a file, and Zhao Zi has picked it up from his rantings and ravings) by the time Interpol haul him away...hrrrmm.
The birthday cake thing is so sweet, and covers such a huge range of emotion. I love that Shao Fei baked him the cake himself. It's also the first kiss that Jake and Chris filmed together, which somehow makes it extra cute.
but i love it when a cool and aloof character lays their cards out in such a vulnerable way.
I'm gonna try not to wax eloquent about Jack for hours here, but one of the things I love most about his character is actually how emotionally vulnerable he is willing to be with Zhao Zi. From the very first moment that he goes, "You like me, don't you?" and ZZ's response is to literally run away. And Jack keeps going back, and even says that if ZZ rejects him his heart will break.
