Even the great chemistry between the actors couldn't save this drama...

Maybe I'll manage to get through the rest of the episodes, but my opinion can only get worse at this point.
GMM has a habit of ruining the last episodes of its really good dramas, but Kidnap only kept its quality maybe through the first two episodes. I feel like everything is happening too fast. Sure, Ohm and Leng have chemistry, but that alone isn't enough to save this drama. This didn’t need to be a dark romance because GMM is capable of making good romantic comedies. For some reason, Kidnap is too sweet to be a dark romance, yet it still tries to touch on more serious topics, which doesn’t make it a comedy either. The worst part of all this is that I was genuinely excited about this drama from the moment the trailer came out. Ohm can bring out the best in new actors, and he could create chemistry even with a chair, so I wasn’t too worried about the acting part. The plot seemed interesting, something new, with no high school setting in the background. Plus, the cast was solid—Ohm (the other one) as the younger brother, Title, who’s also already an experienced actor. The idea was good, but aside from that and the casting, nothing else worked out for the creators.
