The upcoming drama kiDnap GAME has revealed details about the extreme missions that the characters played by Sakaguchi Kentaro and Lee Joon Gi will face, as they must make life-or-death decisions to save their kidnapped loved ones.
The production is presented as a thriller centered on an unprecedented kidnapping case that occurs simultaneously in seven Asian cities: Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok, Naha, and Manila.

What kiDnap GAME is about
In the story, Tokyo detective Nīide Toshiro, played by Sakaguchi Kentaro, and Seoul doctor Han Ki Joo, played by Lee Joon Gi, each receive a mysterious message right after their wife and daughter, respectively, are kidnapped.
Along with that message comes a clear warning: if they want to save their loved one, they must complete their mission before the other participants. In addition, two brutal rules are imposed on them: they only have 10 days, and only one person will be able to survive.
Nīide Toshiro’s mission to save his wife
Nīide Toshiro, whose wife has been kidnapped, is ordered to arrest the mastermind behind the incident. His wife's life depends on his ability to capture a culprit whose identity remains unknown, forcing him into a desperate pursuit with everything at stake.
Han Ki Joo’s dilemma to save his daughter
The mission assigned to Han Ki Joo, who is seeking to rescue his only daughter, proves equally shocking. He is given a cruel task that directly challenges the principles of a doctor who has dedicated his life to saving others.
