Here are five reasons to watch the black comedy thriller “The Kidnapping Day,” now available on Prime Video.
K-DRAMAS WE’RE CURRENTLY WATCHING
‘Alchemy of Souls’
Welcome to Daeho, a fictional country where mages, nobles, and royals rule. The world of magic will certainly give you the Hogwarts feels while the conflicting houses will sort of remind you of a tame Game of Thrones. Join Mudeok/Naksu, Jang Uk, Seo Yul, Park Dang-gu, and Prince Go Won as they navigate their twisted fates due to the alchemy or switching of souls.
‘If You Wish Upon Me’
‘Big Mouth’
In his first K-drama since his military discharge, Lee Jong-suk takes on the challenging role of a lawyer who’s accused of being the notorious con-artist called Big Mouse. While trying to prove his innocence, Park Chan-ho is forced to embody Big Mouse in order to survive. Meanwhile, Im Yoona plays his wife who bravely tries to solve the case behind her husband’s incarceration.
‘Today’s Webtoon’
Joining the list of healing dramas this year is this heartwarming story starring Ji Chang-wook. Yoon Gyeo-ree is an ex-convict who ends up doing community service at a hospice. He joins Team Genie, a group of volunteers who grant the last wishes of patients nearing their death. Aside from the heart wrenching stories of the patients, it’s interesting to see Gyeo-ree’s transformation from the grouchy wounded person of his past.
Kim Se-jeong is back with another quirky and fun character as On Ma-eum, a former judo athlete turned webtoon producer. If you’re a fan of webtoons, you will definitely enjoy this drama, which tackles the lives of the people behind them. It’s an office drama that reminds us of how important it is to have true passion for our work.
