If u r here in review section to check if it has good reviews or not then I'll just say this that watch this for the actors and actresses they have done stupendously fabulous job and they deserve more appreciation for their work.

Specially Lee Je-hoon he nailed it 🔥. If u have watched his previous work then u should definately watch this it's his one of the best work (at least for me) and all other cast has done tremendous job as well.

I'll just say just go for it.


One last thing this show deserves more appreciation and popularity than it got. It's popular in Korea but not in other countries. Hidden Gem 💥.

Overcome Evil by Good

There are a lot of anti-hero Korean dramas this days like Vincenzo, Doom At Your Service, and this one, Taxi Driver. I thoroughly enjoyed this show from start to finish. All the actors were amazing at their given roles. There were a lot of thought-provoking themes that would challenge your ethical standards and morality. Having said this, I really enjoyed all the lessons and takeaways this drama gave the viewers.

I am looking forward to another season. I just couldn’t get enough of their dynamics. I am also very satisfied with the ending. It was wrapped up very well and it would leave you with no regrets.

This is a good drama and you won’t regret spending this seeing it. It is definitely worth it.

Thank you and congratulations to all the cast, crew, and the entire production for giving the audience a stellar show. One of the best this year has to offer.

Brilliantly satisfying drama

Don't get mad... get even.

Taxi Driver (or Deluxe Taxi to give it it's proper name) is an action-packed drama based around righteous revenge under the cover of an innocent taxi service. When our protagonists are at the end of the road (no pun intended...) due to horrible and painful circumstances, they find solace in the offer of getting revenge. In turn, they help other people who are in despair due to the actions of some very horrible people and act on their behalf to bring these people to justice.

Meanwhile, a tough prosecutor, played by Esom, is suspicious of these activities.

Taxi Driver has an 80's/90's feel to it which I loved - a bit like Knight Rider or The A-Team and so has a little bit of cheesiness to it - but that's needed to balance out the more gruesome aspects of it.

Well worth a watch and while I don't condone violence or revenge it's really satisfying to see it play out. Watch now before the second season comes out.

Well, this was great. I haven't finished a show this quickly in a while, I think. "Taxi Driver" was fun and entertaining and I really loved the different revenge plots and characters a lot, I am very excited for Season 2, especially because it looks even better than this one. I wonder how exactly they're going to top it but I am open to be surprised and flashed. I am already sad that Prosecutor Kang won't be in the next season because I really liked her. I don't know why some people disliked her so much, I thought she was cool, especially as the show progressed. Also, now that I am done with Season one, I agree with everyone that it is a crime how overlooked Lee Je Hoon was at bigger award shows (Baeksang Arts Awards for example) for his performance in the show, he deserved at least a nom, but definitely also a win. I feel like Pyo Ye Jin was overlooked as well. I have only seen her in "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?" before, but here she was completely different and delivered a touching performance, she deserved more nominations. The cast in general is very talented and capable, which made the show even more enjoyable.

Lee Je Hoon steals the show!

This show has been at the back of my head for the longest time. I knew I had to watch it when Taxi Driver S2 is out. This review came abit late but better be late than never!!

Plot is pretty straightforward and easy to follow. Basically a group of people that acts as vigilante to revenge for people under the name of a taxi company. Each story takes about 2 episodes or so, it's not draggy and all of them are interesting. The show cannot go wrong with Lee Je Hoon like this man is srsly so good whatever role he plays. In this show he also cosplays different character as an undercover work for each task, which was super fun to watch. I am in love with this man since Signal days, he rocked a lot of shows but he truly does the best in this kind of crime, thriller genre kind I feel. Also, do not expect romance as it's minimal to almost nothing. However, the bond between the members are amazing so it's still a good watch.

While there are good takeaways to this show, I do feel that some of their revenge tasks are too easy/conveniently resolved. Although there are thrill and excitement to it but it's temporary and predictable as to what is gonna happen.. which is why I said that it isn't complex to follow the show. Lee Je Hoon also plays an impt part in the success to this show in the role he play.. i couldn't imagine other actors that can do play the role of Kim Do Gi.

Still, I am very excited to finish watching Taxi Driver S2!! and if u haven't started this series, u should give it a go!!

i accidentally found this gem while trying to look for another movie with the same title. i do not regret it one bit.

the action scenes were toptier imo and so much fun to watch! i liked that it wasnt always serious and had funny scenes too

this drama will hold a special place in my heart for a longg time <3

ACTION WITH MYSTRY THRILLER WITHOUT ROMANCE IS NOT EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA

I first binge watched this drama because of its genre being action thriller . as the ML AND FL has been distingushed with the supporting cast i had expected some romance but FL has not much to do and the supporting FL clearly overpowers the presence of FL .
THE ACTING :
ML has done a wonderful job in portaying his character as a person who seeks justice and want's revenge although the idea of catching criminals and putting them in a private prison seems uneasy . He has shown some great action skills and acting ofcourse.
As i already told FL has not much to do here except getting involved in ML's cases and trying to provoke the situation . she has played her fair part only if we ignore the fact that she is the LEAD .There is no background story and character on her own and just dishes everywhere .
As for supporting FL an go eun has done a very good job . she fits her role as a young hacker perfectly and her acting is also up to the mark.

as for the leader jang song chul who is supposed to be the premise of the whole revenge for the poor thing he has played his role up to the mark but feels mysterois somettimes.

As the drama revolves around the incidences happening in a certaain feild it more feels like an episode to complete and then start off to the next one .
so other support characters and here and there .

THE EPISODES :
The episodes 3 and 4 where kim do ki accomplishes the part of being a teacher at school and does his part was the best of all and also felt good.
FOR other parts they were also good and funny .
as the drama is ongoing i would say it's being dragged .

THE ROMANCE :
There is no any romance until now so i don't know if we should expect in the last two episodes .
Although shipping them would be another thing .
As i ship the ML and the SFL

ACTION :
the action sequences are amazing without forgeting the taxi driving and all the fights.IT gets darker and tamed after few episodes so it's all you are looking if u are an action thriller lover . GO FOR IT .

OVERALL :
its a one time watch for me . it doesn't have all the good plots and stuoryline but it does keeps you engaged and give a felling to watch more .

NOT FOR YOU :
If you want romance and intimate schenes.

Totally Re-watchable!

This show is so soo good and while watching it it gave me goosebumps and it's little bit similar as The Uncanny Counter but the story/plot is so much interesting and unique. I like the duality of Lee Je Hoon, I'm fan of his acting now. The way he changes himself into the character dude you nailed it. Sometimes he becomes clumsy when he was in acting mode and that change in his acting shows how hardworking he is. I also like the acting of Pyo Ye Ji i mean I'm really happy that finally she got a role to show herself. Overall I'm truly very glad to watch this drama also people like them are real heroes! Hwaiting!!
Thank you!

A must watch

First off the plot is not like one I have seen before, it is such an interesting concept that will have you debating what is really good and what is evil and how blurry the line between them is.

I love that it starts off straight away into the action, with no long backstory, instead the backstory is told throughout the first few episodes in flashbacks which breaks everything up nicely. The victims and their stories are very interesting and the revenge is satisfying.
Honestly, if this aired at a different time to Vincenzo it would be at the top of the list, unfortunately, it is shadowed but if anything I believe taxi driver is on the same level.

The plot is great, the acting is great, etc.
My only downside so far is that there isn't much depth into the characters especially the main male lead (although tbh they all kind of share the main stage but you'll get who I mean)
I don't know much about his past and he is very held back but I really like him and I hope they dive deep into his past and personality a bit more in the future episodes.

Don't hesitate to watch this just go now it is a great series I can't wait for more episodes

An okay drama

LIKE

Still acceptable for me

DISLIKE

Each story kind of like touch and go and not really in depth - I don't feel the impact that much

Guess I prefer watching more detailed crime genre

MUSIC - personal fav

All Day - Cha Ji Yeon

REWATCH VALUE

Keepy you on your tippy toes

To be honest this is one of my favourite kdramas ever. Its such an interesting action kdrama, every episode keeps you intrigiued and on your tippy toes. Cast is amazing as well, great actors! Plots are always well done and so many likeable characters. The thought of criminal X police romance happening is making me lowkey excited too hehe...Very good. I recommend it!! Also the main character in there is sexy as hell........(Lee Jehoon). Yeah just give it a chance, I feel like its one of those shows where you can easily get into!!

my review

I really enjoyed the tandem of Park Ji-eon and Choi Gyeong-gu in Taxi Driver. Even though they sometimes have only a short screen time, they manage to be incredibly entertaining. Their scenes are super funny, and they have this natural way of bouncing lines off each other that makes you laugh without trying too hard. Their humor feels effortless, and their expressions and small actions are so cute and hilarious at the same time. They have great chemistry — just a look or a short line between them can already make the scene lively. I honestly wish they had even more screen time together, with longer scenes where they can keep exchanging lines, because they’re so fun to watch and they really brighten up every episode they’re in.
I also really liked the character of Kim Do-ki. He has a strong and serious personality, but you can feel the warmth and pain he carries inside. His calm attitude while dealing with heavy emotions makes him very captivating. His action scenes are intense, yet he shows deep care for the victims, which makes his character admirable.
The female hacker adds another layer of fun and charm to the team. She’s incredibly skilled with computers, very intelligent, and her playful personality lightens up many serious moments. She balances the group with her wit and confidence.
The CEO is also a standout character. She has a mysterious yet powerful presence, with elegance and strength that hold the team together. Her leadership and determination for justice give the story direction and depth.
I also love the storyline of Taxi Driver. It’s exciting, meaningful, and full of surprisingly emotional moments. The plot twists are one of the best parts — they’re shocking, unpredictable, and always keep you curious about what’s coming next, so the show never feels boring.
Overall, the hilarious tandem of Park Ji-eon and Choi Gyeong-gu, the strong characters, realistic acting, great chemistry, amazing storyline, and unexpected plot twists all made Taxi Driver incredibly enjoyable to watch
