Fall in Love with GMMTV's 'Kidnap The Series' – A Fresh Spin on BL Drama!
Kidnap The Series is GMMTV’s latest hit, and it’s truly a breath of fresh air! A kidnapped young master teaming up with his kidnapper and even falling in love? Now that's a plot twist we haven't seen in the BL world! As expected, Ohm's acting is phenomenal—he never disappoints. But the real surprise here is Leng. Being a newcomer, I didn’t have high expectations, but wow, did he prove me wrong! He captures Q’s character so well, adding depth and emotion to the story.
The production team also deserves applause for the stunning filming locations—the casino scenes, in particular, look absolutely grand and intimidating, adding to the series' thrilling vibe. And let’s not forget the supporting cast—they all bring their A-game, enhancing every scene. Plus, the OST is a total winner! The lyrics, the melody, and Tui's incredible voice make you fall head over heels for your imaginary lovers.
I really hope more people give this series a shot—it's too good to miss!

The best Hate to Love Content
Even though I haven't watched an episode yet, the series really sucked me in. This has nothing to do with me liking Ohm a lot because I'm making a very objective comment. I had very low expectations since it was Leng's first acting gig, but he did such a good job that I respect him so much for his hard work and effort. Ohm Pawat, the BL King, is also acting with his eyes. I hope it becomes a much-loved drama and destroys the entire industry.Was this review helpful to you?
Exceeded my Expectations
I must say I’m very excited for this one. Since the trailer dropped I was like “oh something different “The first episode was so short cos I was too immersed in it that I didn’t know when it ended. Ohm Pawat delivered as usual. I’d say he’s one of the best actors out of GMMTV! Pair him with a stone and he’ll deliver.
For a rookie, Leng really tried and I can’t wait to see how his character develops.
The production and quality is also good and I like the pace at which it is going.
I’ll be watching till the end.

the first ep was so good!
The first EP was really good, Ohm acting never disappoints he is still an amazing actor as always and Leng's acting impressed me a lot because for this being his debut series he did really good, So yall should definitely start watching the series don't give importance to the vote here because the childish fandom of the old ship is trying to sabotage the series just because they can't accept that Ohm is an actor and that he has to act with different people.Was this review helpful to you?
life is like that
For all those who rated the series this low on purpose, shame on you. honestly, in your life they never taught you anything so pathetic and immature, not only that you caused damage to one actor, but to everyone who participated in the series. obviously, your misery does not know how to appreciate absolutely anything. people break up in life, that's how life is in the real world, accept it or shut up if you can't, not what you wanted to prove with this, ha. Ohm and Nanon will not be together no matter how you evaluate the series, but will only cause damage to all the people in that series who are acting directors, screenwriters, directors. horrible people you are a shame to be honest.Was this review helpful to you?
Great Chemistry
I was hoping when I saw the first pilot trailer last year that it will be a BL romance rather then bromance. My prayers were heard.I like the storyline based on the first episode. I love how they introduced the characters.
It was exciting to watch how Ohm characters realize that he has no choice for surviving without doing any illegal.
I think Ohm has found his most suitable partner. Leng is so beautiful and I didnt notice on his acting that he is a rookie. He made a great job in episode 1 and I cant wait for Friday to see them flirting together 😊🧡🩵

Kidnap
The wait is over, the first episode has finally arrived and it didn't disappoint me at all, in fact it went beyond my expectations. Ohm Pawat was amazing and also Leng's first acting. All the actors were great. Super, the episode is full of rhythm, it ended quickly, I wanted at least double the time 🤣😍Was this review helpful to you?

Will not watch anymore. May revisit after it is completed, likely not.
Contains general impressions but no major spoilers.Audio: The quality was inconsistent. Some sounds were overly compressed, with key effects like footsteps missing, while others, like swallowing, were oddly loud. The sound effects didn’t fit the genre, and the soundtrack also felt out of place. These issues prevented me from feeling fully immersed in the episode.
Acting: Lengso’s acting, as I expected, was not high quality. It felt forced, particularly in a 'drunk' scene and the parts where he was in a chair. Some of the dialogue at that point was also weak. It's surprising that no one on set, like the director, stepped in to help him refine those moments. I feel like they prioritised the Ohmleng pairing over casting someone more capable for this role.
Character Development: Q’s character felt pasted into the story at the last minute. He doesn’t fit the world they’ve built. I even wondered if the role was originally written for someone else. This is especially disappointing because he’s supposed to be a lead.
Plot Holes: The biggest plot hole for me involves Min and James. It didn’t make sense for James to suggest illegal activities with so little buildup or context between the characters. It didn’t feel believable.
Budget Issues: There seems to be a serious budget mismanagement in this show. It was odd to see Ohm’s car being used in filming. Why not budget for a proper prop car? The speak-easy scene was shot in a glamorous location, but it looked empty without enough background actors. If I was a potential customer on a night out, I would take one look around and choose not to go in because it looked boring! And a particular rubber gun used in a close-up had visible tears, revealing the white rubber inside. This is a big oversight, especially when better props (like cheap airsoft guns) are easy to get. There was a moment when we were looking at cobwebs, and they looked so fake and cheap, like they were bought from a party supplier for a last minute spooky halloween party.
Pacing & Genre: The relationship is developing too quickly, which doesn’t match the genre or the story presented in trailers. I felt like I was watching a school-setting, cutesy BL in parts, which doesn’t fit this type of show. The pacing is disappointing and doesn’t align with the dark tone they originally indicated.
Visuals: The camera work and visual quality were great, maybe that’s where the budget went.
On the bright side, Ohm’s acting was outstanding, which I expected. He is incredibly talented and carried every scene he was in. There were moments when I gasped because his performance was so natural and high-calibre.

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.

Histoire traitée de façon TRÈS superficielle
Ce petit lakorn me faisait de l’œil depuis la mise en ligne de la BA mais je dois admettre que finalement je m’attendais à autre chose…Plusieurs thèmes clés sont abordés dans cette histoire :
• Kidnapping : Thème en théorie principal de l’histoire, cependant très vite ça s’essouffle… Finalement, ce n’est qu’un prétexte à l’histoire d’amour des protagonistes…
• Enquête : Je pensais que l’antagoniste prendrait plus de place dans le déroulement de l’histoire mais elle disparaît aussi vite qu’elle est arrivée… (Ou presque…)
• Traumatisme(s) : Alors, Min comme Q sont traumatisés… Mais c’est traité de façon si expéditive… Comment dire… J’ai été frustrée… Le dernier épisode se concentre sur cet aspect mais nous pouvons voir qu’il s’agit surtout de « remplissage » ^^’.
• Romance : On peut dire que la romance entre Min & Q est mignonne mais ne fait pas vraiment « d’étincelles ».
• Fraternité : La relation entre Min & Men est belle malgré que l’instinct de « protection » de Min soit assez étouffant x) (Après, vu les conditions, on ne peut pas vraiment le lui reprocher…)
• Amitié : J’ai apprécié de voir la relation entre Min & James. Même si ce dernier est celui qui « enclenche » l’histoire du kidnapping, on peut voir qu’il est toujours présent pour Min.
Il y a pas mal d’idées sympa dans ce petit lakorn mais clairement cela reste une production GMM TV, la priorité n’est donc pas vraiment d’avoir une histoire aboutie mais surtout de faire connaitre leur nouveau couple « BL ».
[Petite aparté : J’ai beaucoup ris en suivant les débats/comparatifs sur « Omh & Leng » & « Ohm & Nanon » ! Je pense que les fans sont parfois trop « intrusif ». Il est normal dans les séries/films de changer de partenaire… (Bon, les thaïs aiment garder les mêmes binômes… Mais ce n’est pas le cas partout… Puisque ce n’est pas un « mariage »., ils sont libres d’aller et venir… Après, je conçois que l’on puisse être fan de l’alchimie que certains possèdent mais cela reste du cinéma…)]
Parlons un peu des débuts de Leng… L’acteur est choupi… Mais son jeu n’est pas toujours égal :/. J’ai ressenti un grand désarroi lors de la scène où Min lui parle de la mort de ses parents… Et Q… SOURIT… Comment vous dire… Je n’ai pas compris… Suis-je passée à côté de quelque chose ? Aller savoir… (Il y a surement eu d’autres scènes de ce genre vu les commentaires que j’ai pu lire mais c’est la seule qui m’a vraiment fait buguer ^^’)
En conclusion, je n’ai pas détesté cette histoire mais elle me laisse sur ma faim car la plus part de l’histoire me semble superficielle…
