The Day of the Kidnapping

I have to start this off by saying this show's prerequisite for success is the dynamic between the trope of Badass and Child (though Myeong-jun's personality is kinda like Jackie Chan.) and gotta say IT WORKED. I absolutely loved their dynamic once I got immersed past Ep 1. The story often uses commonly used but still effective plot points: kid with cancer and tsundere character. Hey, nothing pulls on the heartstrings more than a parent trying his best to save his kid.

IT IS a bit frustrating at times I have to admit especially mid season 1. Although the finale made up for it in the end, it is one of the best finales I have watched for a while, made me tear up.

All in all, the premise is not that unique, we have seen in all forms of media the trope of protector and the protectee (Walking Dead, Last of Us) but the decision to make Myeong-jun whacky and hilarious instead of the stoic, unemotional protector is excellent. Ro-hee as well, though her sometimes monotone delivery of dialogues is kinda "eh". But the actress could act when the script calls for it.

Great acting, decent story. They shouldnt make a Season 2 if they are thinking about it. It just ties up nicely even with the twist at the end.

This young actress killed it. She carried the entire show on her back along with her way-in-over-his-head kidnapper. Their pseudo father-daughter relationship on screen is awkward, funny, and endearing, despite the unfortunate circumstances that brought them to their current situation. Since the new-family dynamic was the focus of the earlier episodes, I found the beginning more enjoyable than the latter half, as the big mystery of the show naturally started taking over.

The show's central mystery of who did what to whom, which landed our fugitive duo in their predicament, is intriguing but ultimately unoriginal. The gradual revelation of a single crime scene and the events that transpired can become somewhat repetitive; however, it still managed to hold my attention. Fortunately, this series consists of only 12 episodes.

The bad guy is comically... a rich villain stereotype, something you've seen countless times before. In contrast, the other villain who works under him and handles all the dirty work is surprisingly decent. I found myself liking him because, deep down, he is actually a softie.

At first, I did not bother to check this series probably because of its title. I thought it was just a straightforward kidnapping plot.

Being an avid fan of crime (mystery), suspense & thriller genres (both in US and Korea), I went ahead and gave it a shot. It was the synopsis that somewhat got me, I find it interesting.

I love the build up of the story and how the characters were introduced in every scene. It may sound odd but you'll be rooting for the kidnapper (didn't expect this one). Else, what I love about this is the mystery part, looking for answers about who the real culprit is.

I just want to add, hands down to both lead actors, Kim Myeong-joon (Yoon Kye-sang) and Choi Ro-Hee (Yoo Na), super talented and natural.

Give this series a try and you'll find yourself juggling with emotions, like literally! Watch this together with your family and friends, no doubt they will surely enjoy it.

Is the series that I chose and watched, with the theme about a kind man who was forced to become a kidnapper who gave his whole life for the sake of a child he kidnapped. Instead of hurting her, the kidnapper really felt sorry for and cared about a girl named Ro Hee, a smart girl who was described as one of the youngest genius girls in Korea

Each episode displays interesting scenes, reasonable conflicts, light stories and real life. For those of you who like classic stories, please just watch it because this is my version of the best interesting series.

Not boring but really enjoyed the content of this series of intelligent girls who kidnap innocent, kind hearts.

Don't get misled by the synopsis, since this kdrama offers a lot more for your money than a mere kidnap story. It's so far been in parts a mixture of touching human drama mixed with "boy's-own" stuff, that's guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. Very recommendable, as far as the first six episodes go - and here's hoping that the story and plot continue to surprise and outsmart the viewer's expectations. The lead character, Meong-Joon Kim definitely puts one in mind of the 1980s roles played by actors such as Bruce Willis, the sort of person who's just a born survivor, or, as we often like to say, a "Die Hard".
