This is my first time writing reviews. This season was a good one, the ratings were quite strong and it managed to draw viewers back to the screen once again. However, compared to the first two seasons, it had some shortcomings. Especially in the second season, we learned a lot about the characters’ pasts, their traumas, what they went through, and the things that shaped who they are now. This season, on the other hand, felt like it focused only on their enemies. Of course, considering the genre of the series, there’s nothing wrong with that, but I would have liked to see more scenes where the team spent time together, or at least small moments that gave us bits of their backstories. I’m not referring to the last two episodes where we learn things about Kim Do Gi, that’s not what I mean.
Also, since the first season, it felt like something was going to happen between Go Eun and Do Gi, but it never really did. In the second season, their scenes, especially the one on one moments, felt more frequent. For example, Go Eun would grab her beer and go sit next to Do Gi while he was working out on the terrace. Those scenes were enjoyable to watch, I wish we had seen similar moments this season as well.
What they fight against is difficult, exhausting, and dark, so to avoid boring the audience while telling these stories, they included humorous elements, which I personally think was a very good choice. In the last two episodes, there were quite a few illogical things. I won’t go into detail to avoid spoilers, but still… Also, the final episode felt like a rollercoaster, and unfortunately I enjoyed it less. Especially the last 10 minutes were really bad.
I think Taxi Driver did what it could and completed its mission. This season, I could feel that the writer struggled a bit. If a fourth season comes, I’ll definitely watch it, even if there are ten seasons, I’ll watch them. But if this truly is the final season, I’d say they did everything they could, and I wouldn’t be upset. It was an enjoyable journey, glad I watched it.
7/10
