Thoughts about the last episode
I already wrote an overall review about the full series (You can find it as a review to "Taxi Driver"1), but I wanted to say some things about the finale of the third season in particular.
SPOILER
I read that some people were disappointed in how things were solved for the last case. The story of the last client is really tricky and intense, so seeing that everything get solved with unconventional ways and humor, might look confusing, but I'd like to share my point of view since I actually found it genius.
First of all, I'd like to compliment the production and all the cast and people who worked in this for their bravery. For the finale they chose to dedicate A LOT of minutes of the episode to a character that the public has never seen and they do it to narrate something really important and not so distant from a recent reality: the danger of the martial law
When I understood the direction that the episode was taking I really found it genius, I honestly had chills. All the actors did an amazing job and this case also showed us the deep bond between the characters even when they are separated and don't have a plan to follow from the beginning
About the resolution of the case, I actually think it's so beautiful because I saw in it a reference (even if of course really simplified) to what happened in South Korea in December 2024. I remember reading the news and as an outsider I was so impressed by the union that the citizens showed to defend their freedom.
At that time another thing that really moved me, was seeing how so many different people were gaining courage and strength from music. Seeing everyone standing in the cold, after a long day at work or school, fighting for their rights, waving their lighsticks, putting asides differences and fanwars and singing the same song, shook my heart.
So when I saw in the last episode, all those clients that we've met in previous cases come together to join Elements concert, I felt so moved by the reference. Music and artists can really be a light of hope during uncertain times
Also, talking about Elements case, we can see that Girls' Generation's songs get used more than once and have a deep meaning for the characters (and for example "Into the New World" by Girls' Generation was one of the main songs symbol of the protest)
I found it was a beautiful episode in honor of the korean citizens that keep on protecting their country and their freedom using modern solutions.
I also think the decision to take a lighter approach was to say goodbye to the series and the Taxi Driver family with a smile
I really loved this series, I'm so happy I decided to watch it and to do it till the end. I highly recommend it!
Sorry for my english, it's not my first language
