The drama strikes a balance between suspenseful thrills and heartwarming laughs

This drama has a rollercoaster of emotions, with twists and turns that keep you gripping the edge of your seat, but don't worry—it's the kind of rollercoaster that throws in unexpected laughs and heartwarming moments.

Our hero, Kim Myeong-joon, is like your friendly neighborhood dad-next-door, except he's facing a mountain of bills and a daughter in need of surgery. In a plot twist that even he probably didn't see coming, he decides to kidnap the daughter of a rich doctor. Enter Choi Ro-Hee, the child prodigy with all the riches but none of the joy. And voila, we've got an oddball pair destined for a wild adventure!

Now, Myeong-joon isn't your typical criminal mastermind. He's more of a 'dad trying his best' kinda guy. And Ro-Hee, the pint-sized genius, adds a dash of brilliance to the mix, imagine a comedic duo navigating the chaos of a kidnapping gone wrong.

But wait, there's more! We've got mysterious family secrets, a murder case, and a sprinkle of hidden motives. It's a K-drama buffet, and you're invited to feast on the suspense and giggles. The plot is as unpredictable as a game of Twister, keeping you on your toes with every unexpected move.

Yoon Kye-sang as Myeong-joon and Yoo Na as Ro-Hee steal the show with their dynamic performances. It's like watching your favorite duo in a buddy-cop comedy, but with a kidnapping twist. The supporting cast adds spice to the mix, creating a full ensemble of characters that'll make you laugh, cry, and gasp in disbelief.

The production team deserves a round of applause for the visual feast they've created. It's not just a drama; it's a visual fiesta with clever chapter titles, quirky doodles, and a soundtrack that's basically the heartbeat of the show.

In the end, "The Kidnapping Day" is not just a drama; it's a rollercoaster adventure filled with heart, humor, and a dash of mystery. So grab your popcorn, settle into your favorite spot, and get ready for a wild ride you won't regret!

"The Kidnapping Day" it's a drama about Myeong Jun, a man that would do anything for his daughter, including kidnap a little girl named Ro Hee. He does that and unexpectedly, the girl is hurt in the process and ends up with amnesia. Myeong Jun decides to tell Ro Hee she's his daughter and he does everything in his power to protect her, since there are a lot of people trying to hurt her.

Ro Hee is a genius, she was basically trapped and tested all her life, being a part of an experiment. She never had a real family or someone who truly cared for her, but Ro Hee could see Myeong Jun was a good person since the beginning, even that when she gained back her memories, Ro Hee continued to stay with him. No comments for Ro Hee always calling him a kidnapper in public and people being shocked without understanding anything. HAHAHA'
She didn't want to admit it until the end, but when Myeong Jun was arrested, Ro Hee showed how she really felt for him, how much she needed him and wanted to be by his side, this is definitely the best scene in the drama, the emotion it's impeccable here.

This is an incredible drama, the story is great and the relationship between Myeong Jun and Ro Hee is really what holds you from the beginning to the end, the bond they created, which isn't even that of a kidnapper and a kidnapped child, because let's be honest, Ro Hee was always in charge of this relationship!

It fell a bit short with the ending but it was a good run, I guess even if I remove 0.5 for plot and acting it’d still give a total of 10
Anyway I wouldn’t mind more tho

Clone, twin, but what if the experiments only work on already smart and perceptive kids?
Basically dr mo’s kid and “normos” won’t benefit from it?

Tbh not saying how many years ahjussi got, and technically isn’t hyeeun’s murder, self defense?
Also basically the worst part of the experiments is hyeeun, robbed of childhood and love then abandoned
Dr mo’s kid honestly just needs a caring mom
And what about the “X” people and kang hanuel, that was a really nice twist
It left too many unanswered questions
And I’m a bit sad ahjussi didn’t have any impact at the end, tho I understood the need of young hyeeun, old hyeeun also deserved to be highlighted
She got stuck in that trauma so she basically never “grew up” but she did also have major issues
And was rohee’s dad a successful experiment or was he just smart and driven by money and his dads career path

Mejor de lo esperaba (Muy buena serie)

1, Gran actuación de todos los actores.
2.Cada capítulo es emocionante
3 Gran química entre la niña y el secuestrador
4 Me encantó el detective, un personaje inteligente y capaz de darse cuenta que el secuestrador ,realmente cuidaba a la niña y no era un típico secuestrador Kim Myung Joon
5 Amé el personaje de tonto de Kim Myung Joon, que gran actor.
6 (Spoiler)Odié al personaje Seo Hye Eun el que lo haya pasado mal no significa que use y dañe a la persona más buena que ha tenido a su lado Kim Myung Joon.
7 (Spoiler) Muy triste la historia de la niña que el propio padre experimentara con ella y que solo se dedicara a estudiar y no ser como las demás niñas.
8 Recomiendo verla, muy buena de principio a fin.

Stupenda commedia poliziesca.

Bello, simpatico, emozionante, dalla trama particolare. Un rapporto unico tra rapitore e bambina rapita. Intreccio della trama misteriosa sulla bambina e su cosa sia successo, una fuga verso la libertà e la verità, mentre il loro rapporto cambia e si intensifica sempre di più. Bravo e decisamente simpatico nella sua parte il protagonista.
Il titolo italiano è "Il Giorno del Rapimento" su Prime, ne consiglio la visione a tutti.
