OhmLeng deserves better

No, I mean what the hell is happening to writers of GMMTV ? They wasted such a nice series, I was so much excited about this & this actually started off great but after watching 7th ep, I dropped this. WTH with the unnecessary breakup? If their relationship is going well, then can't they do long distance? And in the flashback, when Q's mom was successful to free themselves, but chose to only let her son go, I mean who are you waiting for woman? And when they had their first kiss, Min suddenly got so much horny that he wasn't able to control himself more, this isn't matching with his characteristics. Though this series had nice OSTs, acting, action & production value; these couldn't save the series.

Surprised I didn't think I would like it as much as I ended up doing it.

When I saw the trailer, the story intrigued me, but I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not. But I did and a lot. I know a lot of people were disappointed in the end because it was billed as a crime, thriller bl and well it's not. Ok, it is for like the first 5 first episodes and after that- well- it just focuses on the love story between Min and Q. And Q learning how to heal from his past trauma thru Min's love. That may sound cheesy to a lot who were expecting more from this series. But to me it didn't bother me at all. I really liked watching the love between MinQ develop , for me it was handled perfectly. Plus, the OhmLeng chemistry was on fire. I really fell in love with them. Many thought that after what happened with Ohm's past ship, he'd never have chemistry with anyone else. Wrong! Kidnap proved that the kid is a chemistry magnet. He is so talented that he knows how to create magic with all his costars.
Leng surprised me for a rookie he was not bad at all. He stayed with Ohm in most of their scenes together and was at ease in the romantic scenes. He still needs work, in some areas, yes but he is much better than other actors: rookies and not. He has the potential of being one of the good ones on GMMTV. If he stays with Ohm, I have no doubt he'll continue growing.
As for the story, yes it had it's faults but I liked it and it kept me entertained every week. I know I'll be rewatching it and putting it in my faves list for sure. 9.5/10

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.

Very lovely romance

Okay, this was not what the trailer portrayed it to be and I was a bit disappointed. But the harsh criticism it has coped was surprising. So dont watch trailer and I think you will really enjoy the sweetness and honesty of this series.

Min was a squishy gorgeous hero, with so much love to give. Q was lonely and once he opened up he was very sweet, who wanted to be loved.

Leng (Q) acted really good, he was a bit stiff to start with but nailed it at the end. (people have judged him harshly especially if this was his first series). Again Min was too dreamy for words. Chemistry was really good and they were not scared to show affection and kiss or hold hands, they did that properly and naked times were well done and hot. No big drama of being gay, they just were and were openly affectionate. No misunderstandings, no third person, no someone moving far away. Just an honest love story with communication 😱😱. Q jealousy was cute, it was done well.

Story was good, you got to know the characters backgrounds. One received therapy (may have been quick but its a tv show), which was nice. Mhen was a good side character a played a big part in his brothers life the whole way through. Others side characters were great James and Junn, even the dad was good.

Rewatch is a 1 star as I never rewatch anything even if I loved it.

Tinha tudo para ser o BL do ano!

(Pode conter Spoilers)

Parecia que essa poderia ser uma das séries mais sérias ou emocionalmente fundamentadas da GMMTV, talvez até uma joia escondida, mas eu estava errado.



Deixar claro que, a minha expressão e opinião gira em torno da proposta do BL e não o fato de ocorrer momentos intimo ou coisas do gênero!

1. Enredo e Execução
Para expressar da melhor forma possível, é um incêndio no lixo. Parece que o roteirista/diretor tirou as ideias aleatórias de um chapéu e as juntou sem pensar muito. Estão gerando conteúdo a um público de 12 anos (é o que parece), ao mesmo tempo em que lançam temas que nunca deveriam estar perto de um programa para crianças. Uma subtrama de sequestro? Sério?
Como você pega isso e mistura com humor juvenil? É constrangedor e isso não quer dizer que um programa não possa ser sombrio e engraçado ao mesmo tempo, mas tem que ser bem feito, o que não é o caso aqui.
O enredo não é apenas previsível, mas também é superficial pra caramba, não há substância alguma.

2. OST,
Nem vou falar muito. O tom oscila muito de (tentativa de) drama intenso para humor vergonhoso e exagerado, o que torna quase impossível se envolver emocionalmente.

3. Considerações finas
Assistir a isso tem sido frustrante porque a GMMTV tem acesso a atores talentosos, mas em vez de capitalizar esse talento e criar boas histórias, eles estão mais focados na quantidade do que na qualidade. Esta série parece um produto feito para permanecer no jogo, em vez de qualquer esforço real para levar BL adiante.

A letdown :(

The story was supposed to be new and original – an action-packed romance with a stockholm syndrome storyline. I had higher hopes for this series given the trailer, but it didn’t quite match my expectations. 

Ohm is a superb actor as usual, but Q (played by Lengso) is a supremely challenging character. While Lengso did a commendable job, some scenes left me feeling like he wasn’t ready for a role this deep. Perhaps it would have been better to start him out with a more straightforward BL. Or maybe I’m just an OhmLeng hater :( Because Kidnap hasn't convinced me of their chemistry.

Kidnap The Series is supposed to be so much more than just romance. It's supposed to demonstrate how relationships change after being put to the test. But I was disappointed by how these relationships didn’t have much substance to it at all. The conclusions felt unsatisfying.

I liked that the series featured themes of crime and corruption, which always carries the potential to be emotionally complex and morally ambiguous. BUT unfortunately, the conflict was resolved rather poorly and I don't know what point the show was trying to make. It's a shame that with such promising themes, everything was just so…underbaked.

amamos a síndrome do estocolmo!!

a sinopse chamou a minha atenção e eu dei play sem pestanejar, não me arrependo em nada! as cenas de ação aqui são protagonistas também mas o romance beeem água com açúcar foi o meu xodó, o relacionamento do min com q foi bem construído, tudo bem lentamente? sim! mas foi bem feito, demorou semanas pra rolar um beijinho sequer mas ver eles se conhecendo e se entendendo foi o suficiente por um tempo. min é um anjo não errou nunca (só aquela vez mas fazia parte do roteiro), q tão fofo e sequelado mas aprendeu a lidar com isso justamente por causa do mim, mhen um querido e um bom ator viu? queria que o relacionamento dele com a jeen se desenvolvesse mais, só que eu entendi que eles não eram o foco. kidnap UMA DELÍCIA, adoraria ver o min e o q juntos em um novo bl.

Ohm P maybe

I'll grade it as I see it:
Ohm P = B-
Ohm T = C
Papang = C+
James = C
Leng = D
Kidnap = D

Reason:
Ohm P is a very natural actor. Even with a terrible script he still manages to bring some charm to his character and tries to elevate a series that should have been better fine tuned before filming. I truly love seeing him on screen so he gets a pass, though even here he seems a bit too relaxed. His talent was wasted here.

Ohm T is also adorable. He is believable as a sick brother and brings the humor which really helps. Again, the script would have someone who had open heart surgery up and about in a few days like nothing happened. They should have chosen a different medical condition. (Idk....Temporary paralysis due to trauma from parents death. With Min going bankrupt due to rehabilitation and therapy bills. Min feeling guilty due to him causing their death. At one of Mhen's therapy sessions he meets Q.) This scenario might have been more in line with the acting level displayed here.

Papang is a very proficient support actor. He can fit in many roles and he did okay. The thing is, the industry probably doesn't see him possessing the 'IT' factor to carry a series. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love him and have never been disappointed with his acting. They know how good he is that's why he's everywhere. I would like to see him more, even as a second lead with something of substance. Another actor's potential wasted.

Title was all over the place with his roles and I do mean roles. First he was Min's agent, then he was part of the underworld, then surprisingly he became a production assistant, then back to being an informant and finally an actor with aspirations of producing his own film. Couldn't they just pick one? You didn't know whether he was coming or going. He brought some comic relief where needed, so he, also, gets a pass. His acting or his roles could have done with a few more workshops.

Leng is new and one of the downsides of the series. Give him time and he will get better but here it was very obvious. He did fit with Ohm but that is because Ohm is a skilled actor. Leng's body language and facial expressions need work. Real hard work. His interactions came across as rehearsed steps and were not fluid. Out of character, he appears to be fun and open with a big dose of charm. Hoping that he can tap into that for future roles. This vehicle was too much for him.

Script - this was a hodgepodge of scenes stitched together with a plot that verred between a love story, a family drama, an action drama and fantasy. Pick two and mix well, not all four. The expectation of it finally hitting its stride never materialized. This is probably the weakest film for Ohm P but as stated before, he is forgiven. Ohm P makes you believe, even a little. Every Friday, Kidnap did not kidnap me, Ohm P did. The terrible script and sub par acting greatly affected the outcome. At the end, the film within the film, saw Ohm's presence shine more than the original film. So that in itself says alot.

It's watchable but no wow factor. Rewatch....Ohmmmmmm maybe.

Review

Just finished watching the last episode of Kiddnap: The Series, and to be honest, I’m pretty disappointed.
I’ve been following the series from the beginning, and I had high expectations, especially with Ohm in the lead. He’s a fantastic actor, and I was excited to see him in a new role. Unfortunately, his talent feels completely wasted here. The storyline didn’t give him much to work with, and the character development just wasn’t there. It’s such a shame because Ohm really deserves a script that highlights his skills and depth as an actor.
As for the other lead actor... well, I’m not going to be too harsh since he's still new to the scene. I hope he improves in future projects, but in this series, his performance didn’t stand out to me. It’s hard to connect with his character when the writing and direction don't give him much to work with.
I’m a huge fan of BL series, but sometimes it feels like these kinds of shows are just a waste of time. There’s so much potential in this genre, but when it’s executed poorly, it can be kind of embarrassing to watch. The storylines feel formulaic, and it’s frustrating when a series doesn’t live up to its potential.
But hey, there’s always hope for the next one, right? The upcoming GMMTV lineup looks promising, and I’m really hoping the next series will be better. I’ve got my fingers crossed for a fresh, engaging story with great chemistry between the leads. The bar is high, but let’s see if they can deliver something worth watching!

Eu realmente fiquei surpresa com o quanto eu gostei da série. Talvez se tivesse mais episódios e estes fossem um pouquinho mais longos, a história teria sido perfeita. Amei a química entre Ohm e Leng, que apesar de ser um ator estreante me surpreendeu com sua atuação . Tenho certeza de que ele irá crescer muito como ator. Todo o restante do elenco está de parabéns. A história de amor de Men e Khanomjeen e Pim Pimpan como a vilã Yada me conquistaram. É uma série sobre a importância da família, dos amigos e da superação de traumas. Um dos pontos altos para mim foi que Q não superou seu trauma em um piscar de olhos como acontece em muitas séries, em que o personagem é cheio de traumas, mas no segundo seguinte já superou tudo e está pronto para viver a vida ao máximo. É uma série que vale a pena ser assistida. Com certeza é uma série que assistirei novamente. E por mais BL na dona Netflix ;)
