Nadprůměrný a dějově jiný seriál než většina ze série HIStory mě zaujal především hlavní dvojicí. Jake Hsu v roli policajta byl opravdu roztomilý, v někerých scénách mi připomínal šestnáctiletého oškubaného ušáčka, jehož šlachovitá postava je přesně určena k výuce bojových umění a karate. Ve skutečnosti měl v době natáčení 28 let a zahrál svou postavu přesvědčivě. Děj se nevlekl, naopak, v některých chvílích jsem se až bál, "co zase ještě nebylo" a dobré byly vsuvky do minulosti, aby divák lépe pochopil děj. Když to byla kombinace státní moci a zločinu, klidně bych kvůli uvěřitelnosti oželel tu druhou dvojici. Výborný taiwanský produkt.

Story: I found the story to be a little confusing. It started off with a set plotline, but over the course of the show, the plotline became more of a reference point for the viewers. However, this isn't a turn off for the show. The ending picks up the plot again and follows through with the story.
Characters: The characters were very well developed in this show. Each one had their own skills and flaws. It was very hard to tell how someone would react to something, which is what I typically look for in a show. I don't want the characters to be easy to read, but also not to difficult. This show really did a great job of establishing each character as their own person.
However, I feel that the backstory of Tang Yi was over-explained too much. We didn't really get a lot of explaining to Meng's background. He would mention things and become emotional about things, but they never gave us any insight into why that is. The show would have been so much better if they had extended it and put some time into filming Meng's past, even just a little bit would have made this aspect much better.
I also wish they could have filmed more of Jack and Zi. We only got to see so little of them in this show and they were both great characters that added so much to the story. I wanted to know more about Jack and to elaborate on Zi's background. I understand that the show is focusing on Tang Yi and Meng Shao-fei's relationship with each other, but it would have been nice to see some more of those two!
Acting: Oh Yes! The acting in this show was so good! I could feel the emotions of each and every character. Hong-ye especially. The actress put so much effort into her performance and it really turned out well. Everyone did such a great job!
OST: Hands down, love it!
Overall: This show is a great show, doesn't matter if you're a BL fan or not. The scenery and stunt work is just great. The story plot line moves quite smoothly and there aren't any contradicting plot points. This show is a show for people and gives a lot of insight into our behaviours as people. This show is inspiring and will make you want to watch it over and over for those sweet moments.

Rooting for such a genre of BL being incorporated into a bigger whodunit story
Just discovered this drama in 2021 and registered here to write my lengthy love letter of appreciation. Could we please have more like this?What's to my liking:
1) a BL story is incorporated into a bigger whodunit detective framework, with elements of comedy, action, melodrama and real-life problems (why indeed the police are underpaid?) altogether.
2) it's about grown-ups, not students.
3) hate-to-love relationships are bound to have good character development.
4) bits of food philosophy throughout the series (yummy!)
5) Good acting from all the cast, and the actor playing Tang Yi shines in this drama in particular. Amazing how much his younger character from 4 years ago and Tang Yi as a mob boss feel like so different people. Gorgeous looks needless to say! And I really liked Unit 3 captain's acting as well. These two actors were cast perfectly.
Honestly, I didn't find Meng Shao Fei likeable at the beginning, then I realized that his character just was written this way, a bit childish, quick-tempered, but sincere and enthusiastic, since I made a journey similar to Tang Yi to start to appreciate and understand his character more, it turned out to be involving after all. With the gangsters' characters we discover their multidimensional/vulnerable sides going from their negative presentation - but with the police it is vice versa.
6) I'm not a diligent disciple of a BL genre, so probably don't know well, but I admire how natural, touching and not forced seemed all love scenes and tender moments between main characters in the middle and to the end of the series (Rewatch value: 10 out of 10).
In contrast to a number of trite cliches in the beginning (a guy falling into hands of his future boyfriend or medicine application - 🙄). IDK, probably it's a double-edged sword: sweetness and soothing predictability of BL are impossible without such cliches?
7) Like the job done by the costume team: obviously stylish clothing of Tang Yi and his childhood female partner in crime, but for some reason I liked even more how the clothing of the police unit 3 shows how... well... they live on a budget, quite palpable.
What I would have probably changed?
1) As a boring law-abiding citizen (not of Taiwan, but this is universal), I'd love police officers to be depicted at least as competent as career criminals. Two naive childish police officers in one unit - a bit too much imo.
2) Not a problem at all, just a thought. We, girls, love it and since I'm not from Asia maybe I don't know how it is there in real, but, I'd love confessions scenes among male characters to look a bit more natural - less full of nice heartfelt words. IDK, in my part of the world men normally don't expected to be able to express their feelings verbally in lengthy well articulated sentences. The actors delivered it sincere and moving nevertheless.
3) Few thoughts on the ending. Attention, SPOILER, for those who haven't seen yet, please don't read further.
I think Meng Shao Fei owes Tang Yi the biggest possible apology at the end. Really. He has been chasing him for 4 years for the wrong reason. The real evil and culprit was in his own backyard. Shorty at least was obviously shaken by this discovery that good guys turned out to have rotten apples among them, worse than bad guys they were chasing.
Also I don't understand why Meng Shao Fei so readily accepted Tang Yi's birth father. It's really only up to his son. And, since we know he doesn't tolerate drugs at all, basically for the older man it was a choice: either his son or he goes with the flow.
As for Meng Shao Fei's late mentor. Well, looks like she was neither a knowledgeable police officer when it came to her private life, nor she was a good mother when her 12 years old run from his adoptive father's home - she was away from work for whole 3 days, wow. Is it possible for a mother to live her life not trying to find out whereabouts of her child? I think it's not. Ok, I understand, it's difficult for the plot to be flawless and without gaps. In general, the plot is complex (not black and white but some characters are multifaceted) and engaging anyway!

My Favorite Drama Ever
This show is by far my favorite drama I have ever watched. The acting is amazing, and the storyline is something unique that you rarely see in BLs. It perfectly balances the romance with the action scenes, and every scene serves a purpose. While there are some dark and serious topics, the show does a great job sprinkling comedic scenes that are actually funny, not cringy like some other shows.Both couples are equally captivating. Tang Yi and Zhao Fei are interesting to watch as they grow from enemies to lovers. It's also interesting watching their other storyline, about Tang Yi's past and his father, unfold as they find out more about it together.
Jack and Zhao Zi are mode comedic in my opinion, and really adorable. They are another unlikely couple, but their chemistry is really amazing. There is really never a dull moment with this couple. Plus, for both couples, the kiss scenes are really well done. ;)
I've already watched this series twice, and I'm beginning my third watch through now. It's a show that you can rewatch many times and still appreciate the work that went into such a complex and heartwarming story. I definitely recommend this show, if you like BLs then this show is a must watch.

I really loved the guy who played Shao Fei in this. Him and that little piece of hair that sticks out his head are so adorable lol! This is definitely worth the watch!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Honestly I love this way too much
This has been one of my favourites for AGES, it's soooo good. It was so cool and I loved Tang Yi's character. Honestly, everything is perfect. I loved the intro song, although I was a bit confused about the ending. In my eyes, it was really good and kind of topped HIStory 2. I was a bit shocked by some of the plot twists too (won't spoil anything teehee). I also loved the side ship with Jack and.... what was his name again? It was personally my favourite ship between all three. In conclusion, this show is very good and I totally recommend.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
The first 2-3 episodes might seem a little forced or cringey, but as soon as the story paces up, it becomes such a treat to watch. Every single thing about the serie was wonderful: be it the story, the acting, the pace, the music. THE COUPLES!!! Truly loved all 3 of them. The chemistry between the leads and the secondary characters are drool-worthy.
To be frank, I didn't watch anything that was as compelling as this for some time now. I was getting really bored with everything but History 3:trapped revived the reputation of the drama world for me.
Really have to thank the storywriters and the producers for not making the bl couples' story too cringe or unoriginal.
Everything about history 3: trapped is so fresh and amazing, it's such a well done serie. PLEASE WATCH IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
also i guess i'll have to check out the other seasons too now! can anyone tell me if they're equally as good as this one??

EL BALANCE PERFECTO ENTRE MAFIA, POLICÍAS Y BOYS LOVE
Ya sea como drama policíaco o como drama BL es muy bueno. Parece imposible que estos dos géneros opuestos encajen tan bien pero de verdad me gustó mucho como lograron combinarlo sin dejar de lado nunca la historia principal ni el romance.Si tengo que mencionar una falla del drama es que la historia me confundió al inicio. El drama comienza por un suceso importante que ocurrió en el pasado de los protagonistas y la trama principal se desarrolla en torno a eso, lo cual nos cuentan y
se menciona varias veces pero al apenas estar conociendo a los personajes no me quedó claro lo importante que fueron para ellos las personas involucradas, nunca llegamos a verlo en flashbacks hasta el episodio final. Pienso que hubiera sido mucho mejor mostrarlo como escena inicial para entender el contexto, y no se consideraría spoiler porque es algo que sabemos desde el principio. Otra cosa, es que las escenas de acción que involucraban muchas personas no siempre eran muy buenas (como la del estacionamiento) y aunque no es tan notorio que la producción no es muy grande como en otros dramas, sí hubo algunos momentos como estos. En cambio, las escenas de pelea individuales y con armas son bastante buenas y vemos a los protagonistas en muchas ocasiones involucrados en este tipo de escenas y se sienten naturales ya que literalmente es su trabajo.
El desarrollo de los protagonistas y cómo pasan a ser de enemigos a amigos y pareja es HERMOSO. Tanto Shao Fei como Tang Yi son personajes muy bien construidos, en solo 10 capítulos conocemos distintos lados de ellos. En un inicio se muestran como hombres fuertes que no están dispuestos a ir en contra de sus principios, pero poco a poco comienzan a abrirse mostrando su versión mas vulnerable demostrando que ambos tienen un corazón precioso. Y todo esto es posible gracias a que ambos actores hacen un trabajo excelente, ya sea en escenas de acción como en las emocionales, porque sí, algo que es muy notorio desde el primer capítulo es que tienen una química increíble.
Además de los protagonistas también tenemos a algunos personajes secundarios. Primero está la pareja secundaria que tienen su propia historia y desarrollo, siendo tan entretenidos de ver como los principales. También están los compañeros de trabajo de Shao Fei, el elenco de actores adultos que lo hicieron muy bien y otra pareja secundaria que no me gustó para nada pero que se concluye su historia a mitad del drama lo cual agradecí.

Everyone take notes, THIS is how you Enemies to Lovers !
The best portrayal of "Enemies to Lovers" I have ever seen ! A mob boss and a cop fall in love while protecting one another and it's so beautiful and tender, toss in the fact that both of them are Super Badass ! This is an absolute MUST WATCH. Plot twists abound, kept me watching ep after ep.I haven't watched literally any of the other HIStory series but this one was super impressive, Tang Yi and Shao Fei and both amazingly written, and neither of them are boxed in or super troupey, which I greatly enjoyed. Both of them are complex and feel real in a sense cause of that.
There's none of the creepy, bad touch, noncon that some BLs have between the main couple or the side couple (who are also super freaking CUTE and hilarious) which I Thank GOd for. All in all, I absolutely loved HIStory: 3 Trapped and I highly highly recommended it !

I just finished this and all i can say is wow that was a ride. i love when a show uses real kisses and not just pecks i also love a good action scene of which there are many! The tension is so real i loved it. I typically dont like things that dont have a happy ending but this ending was happy enough to still leave me hopeful and content with everything (im being very general so the show is still satisfying to watch) if you are someone like me who doesnt watch shows with sad endings then i would still recommend this to you it is enjoyable and really really well acted Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Basically, I am not into action especially the one that tells story about the mob versus police, it always kinda boring and usually made my mood down easily but this one succeeded brake my wall eventually.
If we compared to “Make Our Days Count”, honestly I don’t have any idea which one that I love the most. Because between these two, the have their own specialties that made the choices hard for me.
Now, I can continue watching my 2021 series. But I think I’m gonna sleep first. 🥱

Season 1 – this is actually just 3 completely unrelated stories. “My Hero” is a supernatural film that is really just kind of weird. Hero’s girlfriend is mistakenly taken by the angel of death and in an effort to keep her soul on earth with Hero, he shoves her into the first available body who happens to also be in love with Hero. “Stay Away from Me” is better and deals with a taboo of new step-brothers who develop feelings for each other and a friend who desperately wants them to be together. “Obsession” is even better and actually rather well written even though there is a supernatural element to it as the lead dies and wakes up alive 9 years earlier. “Obsession” is the only episode in Season 1 that actually opens up the physical side of BL dramas. It’s clear that the writers got better with each episode. Thankfully the remaining seasons were not like this.
Season 2 – This season is 2 separate stories broken into 4 episodes each. Episodes 1-4 are called “Right or Wrong” and involve a professor/student relationship. Episodes 5-8 “Crossing the Line” are about a volleyball team manager and his junior he recruits to play for the team due to his natural ability. The relationship that develops between them is sincere and set at a good pace for only being 4 episodes. There is also another step-brother relationship in this one (this seems to be a favorite theme among the HIStory writers as we will see it yet again in Season 4).
Season 3 – “Trapped” is a hate turned love story between a goofy police officer and a super hot mob boss who is trying to get his outfit to go legit. There’s a secondary love story between a gun for hire and another police officer that’s also really cute. This one has a good looking cast, mostly decent acting, and a good storyline. However, the very final scene leaves you a bit unsatisfied and wanting to know what will happen in the future. Perhaps they will do a follow up season with this one at some point.
Season 3 – “Make Our Days Count” is both my favorite season and my least favorite season. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but get your tissues ready because you WILL cry. While Song Wei En and Huang Juan Zhi are the main couple in this series, my favorite couple is played by Zhang Han Yuan and Liu Wei Chen, and I’m assuming they were a lot of fans favorites as they appear as a couple in season 4 and are set to have their own upcoming season of “Make Our Days Count2”. I would also like to point out that our main couple makes an appearance in a cross-over project with Japan “Life-Love on the Line”.
Season 4 – “Close to You” is the latest season currently available. It deals with 3 best friends who work together as wedding planners. Li Cheng and Mu Ren are both “straight” men who fall in love. Again there is a step-brother relationship that actually gets the parents involved this time. Let me tell you, mom is a bit of an odd one. And of course as stated previously, our favorite couple from season 3 makes a really cute appearance in a few of the episodes.
