Can be better
Story line can be better but still enjoyin this very much. Recommended.As with many BLs , there are some part which doesn't make sense. Q's father is a very good cop, doesn't take bribes. However, I don't believe a cop can life in such a huge villa from salary alone. LOL
Plus I thought Thai pple has social security? I am not Thai hence not sure.
Nonetheless, if one wants a story that's 100% same as real life, might as well watch documentary, no?
Enjoy the show as what it is and you won't be disappointed.

More love less crime
A word of advice for people who will start watching the series, don't let your expectations affect your experience. I went into the series expecting a lot of action and some darkness, but it's lighter than I expected. Although it is not necessarily bad because we immediately enter the coexistence of Min and Q. If something sustains this series it is its characters, unlike many other series the main characters get all the attention. We understand why Min has that protective nature with his brother (sometimes very radical) and that he begins to transmit to Q. On the other hand, we quickly know that Q is a very lonely person and that he does not have family warmth from the only person he has. (his father). So a loving brother meets a lonely and damaged child, things had to come up! The series in general is very entertaining and has the romance that is sought in a BL, as for the criminal plot, with a better script and time the story could have been developed better. There are 4 episodes left, let's hope it has a proper closure.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Story line ...
The main lead Ohm was good and carried a lot and seemed to get Leng along with improvings ...The story is, as promising it looked, a dampening affair. Some juvenile shows for teenagers have a better tension ... and yes I know those shows where someone is taken hostage and it was filmed with teens.
The idea of taking the story out of the overworked school/university surroundings is good, but with the story ... and dialogues ... even the english translation lacked. In Germany we have a brilliant voice over culture, which is resuing a lot a shitty story lines and plats. The English crime show The Persuaders! floped in UK, anyhow German broadcast system ZDF bought and made new dialogues for the show and it was an imediate hit. Undertitels can´t do that. But here they showed the original dialogues ...
For the productplacements ... yes they are too often as here too a slap in the face and made this show a advertising sometimes with unnatural behavior while showing the procuct. Such can be done, and it´s not only here in this show, far better and more subtle. Ads, productplacement is a way of financing ... sometimes I wish Films all over the world could be financially backed as Europe is doing it. Productplacement there is forbidden.
A great chance has been send down the gurgler ...

OhmLeng make it work it!
I was hesitant with this one at first. I was going to wait until the whole show as up before watching, but Ohm and Leng's chemistry was too hard to resist and definitely carried the show for me. The plot was interesting and I enjoyed the "action" element. I really liked that we actually got to see Leng's character work through his trauma and seek out help and was honest with the fact that he wanted to do it for someone else. It was super refreshing to see his trauma not just magically "fixed" once he and Ohm's character became official. His dad just disappeared in the last episode and I though that was kind of lame since he was a major source of conflict for Leng; he could've had one little scene instead of only being mentioned.Overall, I would recommend this one, but I don't think I would rewatch it. I am excited though and hope Ohm and Leng do another project in the future.

Predictable, but still fun
Kidnap was a solid show that, while fairly predictable, was a fun watch. I did hope for a little bit more on the whole...yknow kidnapping aspect? But overall I enjoyed it and am very glad that GMM has announced Ohm and Leng as an official pairing after watching this.Min (Ohm) works as an action stunt double, and with his sick brother, he's in need of some quick money. His agent sets him up on a job to earn a lot of money fast, but it involves kidnapping a rich kid named Q (Leng) for ransom. Min thinks this will be a quick job that he can forget about easily, but when he's told to kill Q instead, Min takes him and hides him. Naturally, Min is going to get in serious trouble if the client finds out Q is still alive, but keeping him quiet at Min's house isn't easy either. The two start to get to know each other and become wrapped up in the drama of Q's father's police investigation with mafia-like criminals.
Min and Q's relationship was very fun to watch develop, and I didn't think any issue was overly drawn out. I did think that pretty much every conflict in the show was predictable - it felt like we were going around in circles where Min and Q would take turns with the whole "we need to break up so you can be safe" thing. I also felt like this was one of the least convincing "poor protagonists" ever. You're saying you need money but you have TWO large houses?? I get he was trying to sell one but still, it felt a little off. Overall this show was a fun watch and the main couple had great chemistry. Even though I felt like it didn't do anything too new, I enjoyed it and am excited to see what Ohm and Leng do next.

Different settings.
Finally a bl show with Ohm outside of the traditional school or college settings! Both actors seem to have the chemistry there now to see if the chemistry keeps up with the plot and story line. This isn't the first time Ohm has done bl with different actors. Glad to see him still doing them and watching his acting enhance as he gets older.. Only drawback is here in the states even on YouTube it seems to be delayed episodes in being able to watch it that is the only problem with viewing it at the moment.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

did i expect too much or what
i just thought the story would be more exciting and fun than that, you know. this just didn't work for me personally and it just became boring as it went on. as soon as i found out the dad knew all along about the "kidnapping" and it actually just lined up with his plan, they lost me lol the romance is just eh, i also thought it'd be angstier than that but min was a goner the second he saw q with a guitar (lmao a classic). i feel like they could do so much (so! much!) with the romance with the themes that they had but it just never went there. because of this, i didn't really feel emotionally attached by the characters either. i guess mhen and and min's sibling relationship is nice and sweet but not really enough to emotionally move me.ohm as a simp is always a good time tho because that guy knows how to do the heart-eyes lol like i just instantly believe him everytime. he's just good at acting being in love. when it comes to emotional scenes, i think leng's acting is still lacking. i mean there's always room for improvement but yeah, just like i said, didn't really move me emotionally.
i would be interested to see ohmleng again in a a different story. maybe they should just give them something light and fun instead! (but not in a school setting pls lol)

it's a easy show to watch with some actions and a nice little love story. the two actors are really cute together. this is a new kind of subject in bl about getting kidnap and falling in love with the kidnapper. their love is not toxic. it just really cute. the love scenes deserve rewatching .

Great acting and scores on a light story but with so much depth!
Having read the novel before watching, I know what to expect, story-wise. I have to say I LOVE the three main leads (2Ohms and Leng). The acting was on point - I would even say this is above average of GMM series this year - which says a lot given GMM is already above industry average.Ohm P is great as always. He lifted his partners - regardless of who he is playing with. This is what to expect from a seasoned axtor that he is. Ohm T and Leng surprised me. These two lads are very new actors, but they completely outperformed standards of the new leads. Leng has a very difficult character to deal with - so much depth in his back story and many conflicts. Ohm T, though did not get such depth, he was able to portray a mentally strong character who shines so bright for the other two leads so effectively. I really cant wait for STGD that he is going to be paired with Mark (and with such a good director too!).
While the trailer is a bit misleading and the story around the kidnap is a bit non-sensical, I really appreciate the emotional and psychological conflict of the characters. I'm not sure what title would best capture the storyline either, but I would have appreciated this more given more "truthful" title and trailer /pilot.
Lastly, I cant end the review without talking about Yada! Man! That really is how you portray a powerful woman. No need to raise voices - just the eyes and postures!
