Kidnap (2024)

An Exciting New Series with a Fresh Pairing!!

The first three episodes of Kidnap are a mixed bag of hurt/comfort foregrounding a relationship that begins with a kidnapping.

To describe the show so far, first and foremost, Kidnap is a misleading title, a more appropriate one could have been Cohabitate or Protect. The relationship between Min (Ohm Pawat) and Q (Leng Thanaphon) begins when the former kidnaps the latter with the help of his senior, James (Title Kirati). Even before the titular kidnapping, the episode stresses multiple times how much of a green flag Min is, that he would never take part in illicit activities, but is forced to because he needs to pay the medical bills of his brother Mhen (Ohm Thipakorn), as well as prevent their house from foreclosure.

First Impressions of Episode 1

WARNING: THERE MAY BE SOME SPOILERS, AND MY OPINION MIGHT NOT ALIGN WITH YOURS. I’M OPEN TO CHANGING MY VIEW AS THE SHOW PROGRESSES, GIVEN THE SOLIDITY OF THE STORY.

Performances:

- Ohm: I have to say Ohm was fantastic in his performance! Since "Bad Buddy," he has evolved a lot and has shown himself to be a talented actor. I'm excited to see what he does next.

- Leng:Leng's performance was also quite good. I hadn't seen anything of him before, but he was convincing. I'll be keeping an eye on how he performs in the upcoming episodes.

Protagonists:

- Min seems to be the type of person who is extremely caring and protective of his brother, willing to do anything for him.

- Although Q may seem a bit spoiled and egocentric, I have a feeling there is a kinder side to him. I'm curious to see how his character will develop.

Story:

- The first episode was a bit weak, but I still liked it. It’s good that some things have already happened and the pace isn't dragging. The chemistry between the characters is nice, and there were some funny moments.

About the Cast:

- In terms of other actors, there wasn’t much newness. GMMTV could vary the faces more. Not that the same actors are bad, but seeing the same faces all the time can get a bit tiring. Since it's the first episode, I’ll wait to see how the characters evolve.

What I Hope For:

- That the story maintains a more dynamic pace, with more moments between the couple and more action, given the involvement of a kidnapping.

- The plot is interesting and has the potential to be very good, so I hope they don’t ruin it.

- If you don’t like Ohm, please avoid leaving negative comments. Let others enjoy the show in their own way.

Why is this so bad?
I was looking forward to this kind of series. A kidnapping/crime/action series with romance. That's how it was advertised. Watch both trailers, if you don't believe me.
I have seen Ohm many times, but his best performance sure was in Bad Buddy, where - with Nanon - his acting reached new heights. While Bad Buddy was just a cute romance series, it was very well-made, had great music, beautiful (emotional) scenes. It became repetitive and the "commercial art" got out of hand, but it was good. Very good.
Now I expected this series to be similar good. A big hit. Why not? Leng is beautiful, the couple works well together, which isn't surprising since Ohm is known for having chemistry with everyone. But what did we get?
The writing is wattpad-style, as if it was written by a 15 years old. You feel the writer is inexperienced (not only in writing, also in life). Almost every scene is written in such an immature way, that you know the writer didn't think it through. Why, though? Who is working on this? Why didn't they make some slight changes to the script? Why are they putting out such a cheap product? Even the cinematography looks cheap, it looks like they tried to keep the budget low. Again: Why? Did they have no trust in this series becoming a big hit? Does this have to do something with the Ohm-Nanon drama? (I don't know the details).
To be precise: The kidnapping plot is not believable, at least not in the way it was presented. Min as a character is too simple, just the good guy who did something bad to be able to pay the medical bills of his brother. He likes Q, which is pretty obvious. This is too fast. Just give us some time, show us how they fall in love. We got some lovey-dovey moments already in episodes 2 (talking about being someone's type). No build-up. None. No character development. None. Who wants to watch this? Girls and boys who enjoy watching cute boys being cute and in love. Girls and boys who don't want deep stories, good characters, complex plots. Those people are most likely the target audience of GMMTV, so yeah, why bother to try harder, when there are people who will scream when those two come closer, lips almost touching, a soft smile, a longing stare. Who needs good characters and plot development? "But that's not true!" - they will tell you, and try to explain the non-existent depths of this badly thought-out plot.
It's disappointing, to say the least.

A Fun Take On The World Of Crime.

Super fun. The plot ks intriguing. The characters are likeable. Pacing is fast. Comic timing is good. It is a a light-hearted take onthe world of crime. I had a blast watching the first two eps. The medical conditions are dealt sensitivily. I don't know why people here think that goody and dark can't co-exist. They can amd this show is doing a good job at doing both the things simultaneously so far. I think this show has potential. I love the cinematography and colour grading. The hidden dragon scene was so pretty!!! In short, I will be seated for the ttale the world's most incompetent kidnapper and his willing accomplice.

Ohm Pawat the Actor you are ?

This series is very refreshing, even if I say so myself. I usually have no expectations whatsoever when it comes to anything done by gmmtv because they lack innovation (no originality, same plot, different faces, terrible acting is a thing at gmmtv; the list is endless really). Even with this series, I'm surprised it turned out this well. The filmography, music, and actors seem reasonably different from the joke of work that's thrown in our faces all the time. It's still 3 episodes, and Leng is OK for a first-time series (compared to some who've long been there; his performance is definitely accepted for now; I'm not 100% happy though; as the series progresses, time will tell). I would recommend this series. I didn't think I'd be this excited, but it's a really great series.
