Review by utdaxiao

Taxi Driver

8/10

Great series

"Taxi Driver" is a gripping and thrilling Korean television series that takes the viewers on an emotional rollercoaster ride. The show has an excellent plot that focuses on restorative justice and revenge.

The series follows a group of vigilantes who seek justice for the victims of heinous crimes that go unpunished. The show tackles themes like corruption, power dynamics, and the flaws of the justice system. The vigilantes operate under the guise of a taxi service, providing rides to the victims of injustice and carrying out their revenge. The concept is unique and engaging, and the show does an excellent job of building suspense and anticipation.

The plot is not only exciting but also thought-provoking. It raises important questions about justice and morality and whether vigilantism is an acceptable solution. The show highlights the flaws in the justice system and how the police are not always capable of providing justice to the victims. This is where the private investigators come in and provide an alternative solution to the problems. The dynamic between the police and the vigilantes adds a layer of complexity to the plot and keeps the audience engaged throughout the series.

Although set in the present, the show has a retro vibe that adds to the overall charm and the sound track is also worth mentioning. The music is a perfect match for the show's themes and complements the action and suspense and it matchs the 1980s vibe.

The only drawback of "Taxi Driver" is that some of the characters are sometimes exaggerated, which can be a bit off-putting at times. Kim Do-gi is a beast in fighting, Go-eun overreacts in crying and her trauma. However, this does not detract from the overall quality of the show, and it is still definitively worth watching.
