Hey, You, Stop, I'm Not The Problem Here.

I must be doing this whole Poor thing wrong, cuz why Min out here complaining about being dirt poor, but homeboy have two mansions, expensive looking fashion clothes, and went to kidnap someone and got himself a super rich boyfriend? If that was being poor, then may this level of poorness locate me, please. Also, the moment Min zoomed into the picture of Q, I went... 'Peoples, we've lost a brother, his arse ain't gonna kidnap nobody, he looking for a husband.' Min was the worse kidnapper ever. He sucked. Mfer was a glorified babysitter.

Listen, the premise of this show was interesting, a handsome boy who looks like a 90s heartthrob Hollywood star, goes to kidnap someone and ends up falling in love. You know, typical case of Stockholm syndrome, but like the bl edition. I was sold, cuz Ohm is a good actor, and him and Leng seemed to have a good chemistry. So tell me why, halfway through the series, my bored arse was ready for it to be over?

And don't even get me started on that cringy Mary Jane and Spider-man scene. Was it cute, probably, but I was cheesing the whole time. One thing about that scene though, it made me realised one of Min's mansion was like in the middle of water or something, or was it a pool. Damn, to be so richly poor must be be hard.

In all honesty, this series should have been 8 episodes long at most. Even so, it should have ended at episode 11, cuz it was slow paced and dragged on. Half of what happened could have been cut and we'd still would have had enough to make the same show.

CHARACTERS
First off, that one man in the credit opening scene, who apparently was the one who hired them to kidnap Q. That man was in the drama for like two episodes, at best he was like an extra, so why the eff was he in the opening? I was so confused.

Anyway, Yes, MinQ had good chemistry, and they gave the best they could with the script they were given. The acting was good, though gonna be honest, in some crying scenes with Q, I went, 'Dude is you crying, laughing or sniffing glue?' Lol, but other than that, good acting and chemistry. Mhen was a good character as well, really liked him and looking forward to his new series with Mark. As for the secondary characters, they didn't have enough to stand out. I'm still wondering how that one friend went from working on movie sets to knowing people looking for a hitman.

Also, I just watched Q's father in that drama where he was cheating on his wife with her son, so whenever he was on the screen being a policeman, my brain automatic went, 'shouldn't you put yourself in jail' lol, but yeah, as a father to Q he sucked in the beginning, but towards the end he did change, which was good, I guess. Though, seeing how the woman he kept putting in jail always came back like a boomerang, what was the point of him putting Q's life in danger for?

VILLIANS:
The bad guys in this show were like Houdini, they disappeared most of the show, then bam, they back doing some stuff. Like that woman was in and out of jail so many times, she might as well have made it her vacation home. And also what the hell was happening with episode 11 stand-off scene? This woman had a gun in her hand, instead she just pointed it real hard at Q's dad, doing nothing until Min showed up, not even from behind her, but in front, to kick it out of her hand?? WHAT EVEN? And after all that, Min got shot in the stomach, and that director want me to believe it was just a glaze that left no scars?? LITERALLY, what even are we doing here?

The end to that big bad villian was laughable: What even happened? They sent her to jail, then suddenly she is out with a vague reason, and then some random person shot her dead?? Listen, if the son of that one man was going to get revenge, we needed to see something. This woman is the big bad, so her demise should at least make some sort of sense, but it all felt so rushed and flat, it became irrelevant. They made space for Q's dad glancing at his uniform, but couldn't let us such an important part of the plot.

Finale:
Damn, they really threw everything but the kitchen sink into that finale huh? And the episode seemed to go on forever, I doze off like more than four times, and had to rewind. Still, nothing interesting really happened though, no follow up on that random dude who shot the big villain. This drama should have ended way before it did. As it is now, it just drags with not much interesting stuff going on.

Anyway, as their first series, Ohmleng did well, The script could have been waay better than it was, but personally, I think the premise of the plot was interesting, except the production team did not execute it to its full potential and ended up given us a somewhat boring, convoluted show that let many of us rather underwhelmed.

I'll still recommend this to everyone, it's good for a one time watch. I am looking forward to Ohm and Leng's next drama, hopefully, they get a script worthy of their capabilities.
