Yoon Kye-sang meets his match in Day of Kidnapping
by lovepark
The upcoming black comedy Day of Kidnapping (based off the novel of the same name) has dropped a new teaser showcasing a strange partnership between a hapless kidnapper and a precocious prodigy. Playing the not-quite-criminally-minded Kim Myung-joon is Yoon Kye-sang (Kiss Sixth Sense), and by his side is his victim-turned-daughter Choi Ro-hee played by Yoo-na (Green Mothers’ Club).

The teaser starts off with a literal bang as Myung-joon runs away from an exploding car. He laughs heartily while Ro-hee sighs at his thoughtlessness and reprimands him for leaving behind his escape vehicle. The text on the screen describes him as a heodang and binggu (a.k.a., a scatterbrained dummy), and there’s something a little awkward and clumsy about this wannabe kidnapper.

In contrast, Ro-hee stares down Myung-joon without an ounce of fear and confuses him with her linguistic prowess. She makes him sign a contract guaranteeing her safety, and from this brief glimpse, we see who’s the one truly in charge. (In case it wasn’t clear, it’s Ro-hee.) Unlike Myung-joon, she’s intelligent and clever — a genius on all accounts.
How exactly, then, are these polar opposites related? That’s the question the teaser poses, and Ro-hee answers with a forced laugh, “He is my dad.” However, the dynamic between them is a far cry from a loving father-daughter relationship as we see the unruly duo grate on each other’s nerves. Always on the receiving end, Myung-joon appears fed up with his pint-sized guest, but when Ro-hee catches him mid-tantrum, he stops. The teaser ends with Ro-hee poking Myung-joon’s face and asking if he really is her dad.
Directed by PD Park Yoo-young (A Model Family) and written by Kim Je-young (Cheese in the Trap, the film), ENA’s Day of Kidnapping is set to premiere on September 13 in the Wednesday-Thursday slot.
