Taxi Driver

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

(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!

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.

Well what can I say this was one of the best series I have ever watched. Each episode was brilliant and I couldn't wait till the next one so watched all 16 in 3 days. Even though its in Korean thank god for subtitles which made it more exciting as I had to watch every single minute of it. Sometimes programmes can get boring but not this one. If only this was real life. Sometimes revenge is the only option for criminals who think they can get away with torturing people and when it's the opposite they beg for their lives which is what got me hooked to this. The concept of the story is never give up on justice!! Can't wait for season 2 which will be more exciting. Definately one to watch totally recommend, well done to the all the actors who played a brilliant role in this and hays off to the director who made this. Keep going I need more of this.

Lee Je-hoon was awesome as usual! He took on multiple characters while undercover on cases; he was so much fun to watch. Everyone's acting was very convincing as well, I felt complete hatred for the bad guys. The good guys were all very likable, although at times the female prosecutor came off as overbearing.

Of course it isn't realistic, some things left me smiling and thinking if only things worked like that in the real world. The show is very addicting, from the first episode it grabs your attention. The cases/ crimes involved were very interesting to me, and the action was great! However, I do feel that some episodes were longer than they needed to be.

Overall I personally enjoyed it!
