Model Taxi (2021)

The best revenge kdrama I have watched until now

Lets start with the good things
1) Everybody would love the story setup as the Revenge company employees are just much better than normal people.(skill wise i.e. nothing much bad happens as the revenge employees are kind of like overpowered)
2)Music, Ost where just hitting the spot, loved the theme music sooo much.
3)Story's inspired by real life cases or crime's.
4)Action was on par with movie quality.
5)Supporting cast( victims and assailants from all the different stories) where 10 /10.

Now the disappointing points
1)The main lead had nothing much acting to do as I felt they where always getting rushed to taking revenge.
2)Kang Ha Na(Esom) this character felt like it was not part of the drama until second half, I feel this drama could have done better without this character.
3)At the end of episodes there was small segment showing connections between all the characters in the story. But the problem was I had forgotten about few of those characters was this a failure of my memory or failure of the drama to make me remember their stories not sure(I watched it when it aired, may not face this problem when binging)
4)Kim Do Gi (Lee Je Hoon) was practically a superman, no military training can make someone that strong. Because of this Taxi Driver became from real life fiction to supernatural fiction vibe. I mean it didn't feel real.

Conclusion
Watch this show it would give you a warm feeling at the end and there is no bullshit about moral value , forgive your enemies etc.. This show is for all those who are sick and tired of watching over the top good characters who forgive everyone.

Watch This, You Won't Regret.

I really enjoyed watching this drama, only took 3 days to finished when I usually need more than a week to finish K-dramas.

Taxi Driver is a really good action K-drama, I like the conflicts and the ideas of this drama, but there are some illogical scenes (plotholes) to make the drama goes on smoothly (no variables, no unpredictable incidents). This drama is pretty straightforward. Still enjoyable even though I can't really feel the tense.

The characters are also likeable. Except Kim Do-Ki being too overpowered, other characters have fair portions. The chemistry between the characters is also good, I lowkey ship some of the characters despite there's no romance at all in this drama.

The best thing about this drama is the music. The OSTs match well with the scenes. The main OST with its rock genre really suits a lot of action scenes.

And the most underrated aspect from this drama is its comedy. The comedy aspect probably contributes most of the illogical scenes and plotholes in this drama, but I really love the jokes they put and laughed pretty often when I watched this.

Action & Speed

This drama was really done, in terms of the action scenes and driving skills.

I Loved the Main Lead in this drama, which was why I probably this watch. I did get the Robert De Niro vibe from this, which was not so bad... Although dark, violent and gritty, it is also ADDICTIVE, COMPELLING and POIGNANT.

The story is basically around revenge seekers who cant get closure from a loved one killed or being bullied or a mishap taking place in either personal or work life, Every single member of team avengers carry their own chilling backstories - crimes committed against their loved ones where the perpetrators never truly received the punishment that they duly deserved.

I have truly enjoyed Lee Je Hoon’s performance here, in what is his best work to date, the team work and the way stand together is also a major plus in the drama, each of the characters have there own painful experience and story to share and of course the fight scenes and driving skills were really done well. Taxi Driver's message is that revenge is never the answer, and neither is locking up criminals and throwing away the key. karma always comes back to get you in the end.

As for the production -- well, a thousand and one kudos to the cast, the writer, the director, and production team of Taxi Drivers for a job beyond well done, but especially to Lee Je Hoon, this drama wouldn't have worked as well as it did without him.

Overall: A really good action drama which is a definite to watch!!

Epic

Drama yang sangat epic. Drama ini sejajar sama squid game atau kingdom gitu lah. Jadi sangat cocok ditonton oleh orang normal (bukan pecinta drakor).

Cerita ini sangat bikin kesel hati walaupun akhirnya bisa dibalaskan dendam sama kim do ki. Paling kesel lagi kalo beberapa kasus itu dari kisah nyata lo.

Lee je hoon keren disini cuma terlalu OP sih menurut gw wkwk. Btw ini kalo inget nonton drakor Signal, kayak nyambung gitu ga sih, cuma disini je hoon karakternya orang umum yang membalaskan dendam.

khusus untuk daya tarik utama yaitu tentang HUKUM. Hukum itu tidak adil. Korban selalu dinomor duakan. Bayangkan berapa uang dari pajak yang harus dikeluarkan untuk para sampah penjahat.

goeun ?

I feel like people misunderstand this drama as a lousy revenge drama but omg it’s so much more, the sad backstory’s, even the topics cover so much throughout s1 and s2, the topic of cults, suicide, bullying, s3xual assault and it even covers the burning sun scandal in season 2, there was a lot of irritating characters like, Choi min who tbh was so annoying, he was such a weirdo and didn’t even apologise to goeun for making his sister commit suicide, and mr.park and mr.choi’s backstory really needs to be talked about more, it was devastating and I really wished that it was mentioned more. goeun was definitely my favourite character and she really stood out to me for several reasons, she was such a underrated character and I liked her way more than the prosicouter lady from s1, her and her sister really needed more screen time and needed more moments together, this is a must watch and it’s also quite funny, if your thinking of watching it please do, it’s amazing and by far my favourite kdrama

Just so so for me

I watched this because I became a fan of Lee Je Hoon after seeing him in Move to Heaven.

This drama is about taking revenge for the oppressed. The cases the group take in varied from bullying, illegal porn video rings, syndicates etc. It showed a lot about the dark sides of life and what some people have to bear with.

The drama had really great characters like Sung Chul and Prosecutor Kang Ha Na. But, honestly, I couldn't get why they had to have the taxi and the video game angles. It was also kind of lame having that secret hideout in the basement, as well as the so called improvements on the deluxe taxi. It felt like a James Bond wannabe type of operation. But that's just my opinion. Nevertheless, watching how these evil characters get punished was somewhat satisfying.

Overall, while it had flaws, the series proved to be entertaining enough
