it’s my first time watching a telenovela but i was not ready for the sheer quantity and frequency of kidnapping plotlines

Hah, I’m not sure if this is a typical representation of the kidnapping prevalence in telenovelas but I was told that since this is about narcos, it’s going to happen a lot. Still, I feel like every main character, of a large cast, getting kidnapped except like…Johnny and Guille? is a lot!
