Reasons to watch: Also going by slightly shorter title The Day, this drama promises to bring heart and humor to its otherwise darkish tale of kidnapping. Yoon Kye-sang plays our kidnapper in question — reason enough to watch — and what he does out of financial desperation to help his own child turns into a bit of a mess. The girl he’s “kidnapped” is played by rising child actress Yoo-na, and she’s so precocious and level-headed (contrasting to his sweet dimness) that she’s soon the one in charge. It sounds like the perfect dynamic for a show that can keep you in suspense and squeeze in laughs (and maybe tears too?), and with the director of Kingdom, Love Alarm 2, and A Model Family at the helm, this should be a good one. We can also look forward to workaholics Park Sung-hoon and Kim Shin-rok in the drama as well.
TL;DR: Yoon Kye-sang is a reluctant kidnapper who gets in over his head
