Taxi Driver

I was very impressed by this drama, as it wasn't anything I was expecting and managed to turn out a very satisfying watch each and every episode. Dark and crisp cinematography sets the mood along with a fantastic soundtrack to accompany it. The acting is fantastic, especially from our lead Lee Jehoon, who plays one of the best characters I've seen in k-drama; a sad and soulful eyed bad-ass who takes revenge for those who can't themselves. There are some of the best fight scenes I have ever seen in a k-drama, along with some incredible car/taxi chase scenes.

Was everything perfectly realistic? No, but seriously, who cares? This show is incredibly entertaining, with an interesting mix of John Wick and Daredevil vibes that makes it an amazing show that is extremely satisfying to watch.

(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!

This show is just fun, that's the best way for me to describe it.

The actors are great, there is the right balance of humour, emotional scenes and action. It's just great. The stories pan about 2 episodes each and are quite varied in subject material. It really makes you feel for the victims and relish in the justice that gets served.

Lee Jehoon is awesome , he acts out very serious scenes , great action scenes and also comedic!

I can't get the sound track out of my head haha.

Season 1 was great and I've just started season 2, so far so good. Just wish season 2 was ok Netflix already! Keep up the good work.

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.

I think many of us have fantasies of getting revenge on those who have wronged us or those we care about.

Watching these complex but beautiful characters get revenge on the worst of sociefy is extremely satisfying. They help the vunerable, and the teams humanity shines through in every episode.

The writing, acting and music is impeccable. Expect to laugh, cry and scream into a pillow all in the same episode. I hope this show gets a season 3 because I need more revenge! I also hope that Esom can return in season 3 because she added a lot to season 1.

Go Kim Do Gi and the Rainbow Taxi Company!
