PCCW Media’s MakerVille, in collaboration with renowned Korean production company SimStory and Japan’s Fuji Television, have jointly created the buzzworthy Asian drama kiDnap GAME, which is set to air in the fourth quarter of this year.
This suspenseful, dramatic and tension-filled international co-production has been three years in the making and was filmed across multiple locations in Asia, including Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Manila and Okinawa. The series will air on ViuTV in Hong Kong in Q4 2026, and will also be available on Viu across Southeast Asia.
kiDnap GAME brings together an unprecedented ensemble of top acting talents from seven Asian markets, some of them are:
- Lee Joon-gi (Korea) plays genius surgeon Han Ki-joo. Rising to international fame through the acclaimed film The King and the Clown, Lee has since starred in hit dramas including Flower of Evil and Again My Life, earning a devoted fanbase across Asia.
- Kentaro Sakaguchi (Japan) stars as elite detective Toshiro Niide. Winner of the Best Supporting Actor award at the Japan Academy Film Prize, Sakaguchi also received Best Actor at the 2025 Global OTT Awards for his performance in the Korean original OTT series What Comes After Love.
- Alice Ko (Taiwan) plays Christina, an influencer and housewife. A two-time Golden Bell Awards Best Actress winner for Marry Me, or Not? and Someday or One Day, Ko also made her literary debut with a novel in 2025.
- Carrie Wong (Singapore) plays flight attendant Janice. Recognised with the AllTime Favourite Artiste Award in 2026, Wong is widely regarded as one of Singapore’s most popular entertainment personalities.
The story unfolds across seven Asian cities, where seven shocking kidnapping cases occur simultaneously. As global media descends into frenzy, a chilling email quietly lands in the inboxes of the victims’ families: “How far are you willing to go to save your loved one? Only one can be saved.”
Seven strangers — unrelated, from different nationalities, backgrounds and beliefs — find their fates irrevocably intertwined, each assigned a vastly different mission. In this brutal game of survival, time becomes the cruellest enemy. Who is the mastermind behind it all? What lies behind the deadly scheme seemingly destined to claim six lives, leaving only one survivor?
