Taxi Driver Season 3 Episode 10

Three Stars

I felt like this story needed a bit more fleshing out. So the CEO basically just became a psychopath because she couldn't be an idol and started pimping innocent girls just to crush their dreams. Such a crazy character change considering she was just in a freak accident so she just blames everyone else for it. One of the wildest things to me is how Ju Ri went from not even being able to debut to somehow become a CEO of an entire talent agency. That's a massive jump from point A to point B for someone with no connections, and after she got exposed that should've been the end of the company so how were the girls able to continue being Idols? Theyre trying to keep a 2 episode limit per case but this one needed to marinate a bit more. Good story but lacked key details

Good in depth about training to be a idol but questionable writing

The writing feels kind of strange for this case especially the end. I think it was pretty clear the rainbow taxi team didn't want Jang Na Ra's character to die there at the end with Kim Do Gi trying to save her from falling from the rooftop but it was too much for her. The rainbow taxi team are supposed to be very clever but here it seems like they looked foolish in letting her get her way to die than eventually being arrested for her crimes. They should have known that on the rooftop, she would have of course consider taking the easy way out and fall to her death. Why would they send a bunch of drones to flash lights at her that made her lost in the moment and walked backwards nearing the edge of the rooftop? When Do Gi loses his grip on her hand/purse, we get this dramatic scene of her falling all the way down that I thought they would do something like the rainbow taxi team caught her with an helicopter or a there's a rescue air cushion ready for her down there but we don't know. The next scene is the team hanging out eating cheerfully. In short, they never wanted to kill her but why wasn't it just as simple as dodger her attack with her cane and tackle her down later sending her to the police. This writing made them look foolish in them not punishing her the way they probably wanted.

Onto the good things, it was really fun seeing Do Gi go undercover as a manager for a Kpop girl group. I really enjoyed most is how he formed a wonderful bond with the girl group in such a short time that he even became a fan of them after. He usually goes undercover as some character to side with the villains then destroys them at the end but this time while he was undercover, there were actually people he could help, connect, or be kind to genuinely. The best part was seeing him as a manger fill in for one of their members to dance with the rest while being filmed on tv. What can Lee Je Hoon not do? There was actually a viral video of a popular Kpop girl group Apink and their manager who like Do Gi filled in for a member and danced with the rest. It looks just like the scene here in Taxi Driver season 3. I'd like to believe the writers used that as inspiration for this scene which was amusing.
