HIStory 3: Trapped

HIStory 3: Trapped (Taiwanese) - Tang Yi & Shao Fei







I tried watching this a few months ago after reading the synopsis or seeing the trailer. After watching the first two of episodes, I ended up pushing it off to the side, never returning to it until a couple of days ago. I truly wanted to watch it but I think it had a slow beginning, at least in my opinion at that time. This time I made myself sit down and watch the whole show from beginning to end. Okay, so maybe I did not watch the whole thing. I do admit I skipped the parts that had Shao Fei's coworker and Tang Yi's employee getting into a relationship, but I did watch the rest of the show.

I loved the development of Tang Yi and Shao Fei's relationship. I like that it started out with Shao Fei practically tailing Tang Yi to get information of what had happened four years ago and then they were developing feelings for each other.

I liked that Tang Yi was trying to stop his group's mob business so that everyone could live normal, everyday lives. That was something his boss wanted to do before he was killed and Tang Yi promised should anything happen.

I also did like that Shao Fei was trying so hard to get Tang Yi to not do something that could send him to jail for a long time or cause Shao Fei to personally arrest him. To me, it showed how much Shao Fei cared for Tang Yi that he was willing to even step in front of a bullet if it stopped Tang Yi from going down a darker path.

With the ending, I am split on it. I liked how it ended but at the same time, I wanted an epilogue. At the very least to see Tang Yi walking out of jail a couple of years later or however long it is and Shao Fei is leaning against the car, waiting to pick him up. Either way, I liked that Shao Fei is willing for Tang Yi to get out.

Now, off of the topic of Tang Yi and Shao Fei's relationship, I could not believe how twisted the mobsters were. Backstabbing one another to get what they wanted. Good cops going bad to also get what they wanted. I know the mob is not a pretty business, but this was... And to find out who Tang Yi's birth parents were! Talk about a shocker. I felt bad for him because he did not know how to take all of the information that was thrown at him.

In the end, I did enjoy this show and will watch again.

Boys Over Flowers (Korean) - Yi Jung & Ga Eul Now, there's not much to this show. This show was about this main couple who I don't give a crap about. Now, this is the couple to care about. In the beginning Yi Jung and Ga Eul didn't like each other. Yi Jung was like a womanizer. Ga Eul only hung out with him and his three friends because the leader of the group was hanging out with her friend. When the show got extremely boring and only followed the main characters, I would speed through the episode, specifically looking for Yi Jung and Ga Eul , and watched those scenes. Eventually, Yi Jung and Ga Eul begin to like each other and then fall in love. But they don't say a word. In the final episode, Yi Jung said to Ga Eul that he had to leave the country for a couple of years and that when he got back, the first thing he was going to do would be to look for her. So, after a couple of years, he returned, and guess what the first thing he did was. He looked for

Tree of Heaven (Korean) - Yoon Suh & Hana I enjoyed this show. There were moments when it was happy and moments when it was sad. One thing I found unbelievable was the fact that every time something happened, Hana's aunt would hit her! I kept thinking that Hana just needed to turn around and get physical with her aunt rather than just taking the beatings! But no. One thing I liked was when she went to his hotel room on his birthday. The room looked so romantic. There were a lot of candles lit and a lot of her favorite rose was spread throughout the room. When I saw the room, I was in shock. I thought I was going to die with how beautiful the room looked. One thing that was sad was when Yoon Suh told Hana to marry Ryu. I was like, What?! You love her! She loves you! How can you tell her to marry somebody else?! And on her wedding day to Ryu, she was not happy. She couldn't even smile because she was so sad. And that made me sad because she should be marrying Yoon Suh. Not

Advance Bravely (Chinese) - Yuan Zong & Xia Yao This was an excellent drama to watch, even though only the first season is out. I actually finished watching it last weekend but I have been reading the translated chapters (there's two hundred-plus and only ninety are done) for the past week. I like that some things were changed such as the characters. In the book, just about everybody smoked. In the show, no one smokes which I like. I like Yuan Zong and Xia Yao's chemistry because it keeps me guessing as to if Xia Yao is starting to fall in love with Yuan Zong in this scene or that scene. The same thing with Yuan Zong. Also, with how a certain scene between them ends, it makes me wonder if they kiss or just look passionately into each other's eyes. I do have to say that my favorite scenes are with them together. They could be talking about the weather or staring into each other's eyes while twenty people are around them and I would still think, “
