Kidnap Set Up a Story It Did Not Want to Deliver – An Injustice to its Audience
When you are going to center your show around characters who lead dangerous lives, the expectation is to show the audience your characters leading dangerous lives, up the stakes and make your viewers really worry about the fate of said characters. This should be a really simple thing to do as a screenwriter, and yet, Kidnap the Series failed epically. Min is supposed to be a stuntman turned hitman turned bodyguard and we saw him doing that for a total of 20 minutes over the span of 12 hours. Q is a character whose father essentially threw away his own son's ransom note. The show had a really interesting premise of Min kidnapping Q and them struggling to find love for each other based on the situation and their backgrounds, but threw it all away the second they made Min an incompetent hitman. The creators said "Why give a well written drama about bad fathers and complicated romance when I can give 3 beach episodes in a row?" I don't care about MinQ honeymoon because they essentially gave us a relationship of half baked romcom tropes when we could have had something way more!! So many words to say, this show was boring as hell, I wasted 12 weeks of my life (I should have quit by EP 5), and the only saving grace was Ohm Pawat's phenomenal acting.
