The story is clearly outlined in the other well written reviews, so I just wish to add that every actor and actress in this series was top notch. Recently I have been watching several Korean serials and they all show that South Korea has a fantastic stable of skilled performers. Unlike American Method acting, they seem to follow Stanislavski's system and really become the characters they are portraying. Not two dimensional at any level, you really believe them.

Add to that the superb camera work, thumping soundtrack and clever, non-formulaic script and you have TV which is at last worth watching. If you have not seen this yet, and you're not too slow to read subtitles, then you really should try this; you will be hooked!

(Deluxe) Taxi Driver could easily have fallen into that destructive trap of victimhood, sexism, the vicious circle of low expectations, bigotry etc., but fortunately the Korean writers had the wisdom to feature a nuanced story not only about Restorative Justice but also to question whether it's right to take the Law into one's own hands? So we have two opposing forces - Kim Do Gi the Deluxe Taxi driver with a mission to right wrongs and the Cop on his tail, Kang Ha Na, (better known as Esom) who represents the voice of reason, the rule of Law, and the "right" and "civilized" way of doing things. So it is a relief to see amid the melodrama of sobbing victims an intelligent point or two made. Kang Ha Na has certainly shown for me a depth of personality that stands her out from other characters, not to mention female roles in other K-Dramas. So far, so good!

Firstly I want to say that I am glad that Pyo Ye Jin replacing Na Eun APRIL. She is one of my favorite Korean actress. And not to forget exotic beauty of Esom. This TV movie wins almost all of my heart. The script is also perfectly built with many beautiful fighting scenes. The male actors also played they roles perfectly. I am looking forward for Season 2 of this drama. BTW, I support the removal of case expiration in South Korea. 15 years are not enough to let the method and technology in solving cases developed.

Currently 10 episodes in and I am absolutely in love with this show!

Who do you turn to when the systems that are set in place to protect you, are doing nothing or even worse, are a part of the injustice that you have to constantly face? Deluxe Taxi Service.

There's so much satisfaction in seeing horrible people, who abuse others for their own gain, getting punished. And punished not just by being sent to prison or some meaningless fine, but in an eye for an eye kind of way.

It also doesn't get stale, because every 2-3 episodes there's someone new that they are helping, while also having story development that lasts the entire show. It's all very nicely tied in.

If you are on the fence on whether to commit to this show or not, just check out the first two episodes which pretty much have a self-contained story and decide form there.

The action scenes in this drama are superb and the story line are great. I love this drama so much, waiting for season 2.
