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.
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!

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!

Go Kim Do Gi and the Rainbow Taxi Company!
This Korean series is centred on Kim Do-gi, a Seoul taxi driver. He is a former special forces soldier whose mother was murdered several years before; the killer died in prison but our protagonist is still left with a desire for revenge... it turns out that a small group within the taxi company, including its owner, is helping others get revenge on those who wronged them and got insufficient punishment. Over the course of the series they help several people seeking revenge; these include a woman whose 'employers' were treating people like slaves and an internet hosting company that has a bullying culture. Those they 'arrest' are taken to a 'prison' run by female crime boss Baek Sung-mi. Prosecutor Kang Ha-na has noticed the disappearance of several criminals and starts investigating; she soon suspects the involvement of the taxi company but finding evidence isn't easy.
I thought this series was really good. The central story was really good; while most viewers will get behind the revenge seeking taxi firm it doesn't shy away from raising questions about the morality of their extrajudicial actions... especially when we see how those they take to their prison are treated. Before each arrest the group investigates the 'accused'; these tend to expose some disturbing practices which make uncomfortable viewing at times. There is a decent amount of action; these scenes are exciting and well-choreographed. While this is by no means a comedy there are some fun amusing moments. The cast is solid; most obviously Lee Je-hoon as Kim Do-gi, Esom as Kang Ha-na and Kim Eui-sung as taxi company boss Jang Sung-chul. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to fans of Korean dramas.
