A Cat and a Dog

This is the story of Wataru, who has been (secretly) in love with a straight uni mate, Otomo, for the past 7 - 8 years. They lost touched after graduation, and bumped into each other again, when Wataru was hired by Otomo's wife to gather evidence of Otomo's infidelity (to gain more alimony). And boy, there were plenty of O's affairs.
From the uni days, O is known as a serial dater, unable to stay faithful and this continued on even after his marriage.
The price for burying the evidence, they had a sexual relationship. And O wife divorced him, thinking he is the perfect husband.
Both of them, moved in together and that is how their relationship started.
So can u imagine, from Wataru's perspective, he is in love with a self declared straight (serial adulterer) man, who is seeking for a long term hetero relationship. Otomo is good looking, tactful, polished, successful, and over all good catch, that sleeps around. Not a very good basis for a relationship right.
So even, Otomo has changed, asked Wataru to move in with him, and by staying faithful to Wataru, the insecurities and doubts were too much to handle.
They broke up, each trying to get the relationship they are seeking for - Otomo, a woman who will cook long time stew for him and Wataru, a guy who is more affectionate and who is able to provide him with a sense of security.
This was not the ending...am not going to spoil the ending.
The story plot is strong, fast and the knives are deep. Many times, I needed to replay, to read the dialog again, to brain the scene. The character has so much layers and multi dimensional, you will hate a certain behavior, esp Otomo's unfaithfulness and his inability to communicate and gives assurance to Wataru. For Wataru, you want to strangle him, have a little bit more dignity, dun keep going back to Otomo, have a little bit more bottom line, and yet, can really understand him, why he kept coming back to Otomo. Then the last part....you fight for what you want for so long, just need one more step to achieve it, and you let go...haiz...

Highly Recommended

When Tang Yi kissed Siao Fei and confirmed the relationship, the only concerned by colleagues was how can a police date a triad leader? 😊 (as opposed to, how can 2 men date)
The development of thlnd to relationship from adversary (TY actually sued SF), to half friend to life partners is so organic and sweet, without it being cheesy.
Love the fact when SF realised that he was in love with TY, it was a revelation and he immediately pursued TY, loudly and publicly.
SF was ussually with be the one to comfort TY, kissed and protect TY.
I loved the way both addressed conflicts and misunderstandings in a very open and matured manner e.g. about Andy. TY instinctively knew SF was bugged about it and didnt know how to bring up the topic.
The acting for the whole cast was spot on and loved, loved the OST. Is in my playlist.
Trapped has to be my fav BL drama, because it has a matured cast, in an adult setting and the story plot doesnt just focus on their relationship. It spoke about the actual definition of family.
