A Great Crime Thriller Drama for Matured Audiences
Taxi Driver did a great job executing a solid story concept seriously and maturely.
Most K-drama series tend to include unnecessary romantic subplots that add nothing to the overall story.
I'm glad Taxi Driver avoided that. As a man, I don't enjoy seeing a "knight in shining armor saving a damsel in distress" in the middle of an otherwise serious and compelling narrative.
The acting from the cast is fairly average, especially the main character and the hacker girl. It's hard to empathize with their emotional breakdowns due to how mediocre their performances are.
The only truly great actor in this show is the villain, Baek Sung-Mi. Her acting is impressive and really stands out compared to the rest of the cast.
However, my favorite characters are the mechanic/engineer duo—you’ll know exactly who I’m talking about if you’ve watched the series.
Those two have the best chemistry in the entire show.
The music is also pretty average, nothing outstanding or memorable, but not bad either.
Overall, even though the acting and music are just okay, what matters most to me is the storytelling, and on that front the show truly delivers.
I’ll probably watch the second season of this show.
