Taxi Number 5283 will return for Justice
(As someone who binge-watched the first two seasons recently in 2024-2025 , my introduction to korean dramas)This season felt very familiar right from the start. The settings, surroundings, and even the way the victims are served up — everything seemed quite similar to the previous seasons. That fresh novelty factor that initially hooked me was somewhat missing.
This is a common issue with brilliant dramas when they reach their second or third season. But if we treat this as a standalone watch, here's my honest take:
Acting — Great performances across the entire cast. Lee Je-hoon (LJH), Pyo Ye-jin (PYJ), Kim Eui-sung (KES), Jang Hyuk-jin (JHJ), Bae Yoo-ram (BYR) — the whole Rainbow Taxi team delivered solidly as always.
Among the villains, Jang Nara (JNR) as the cold-hearted CEO of Yellowstar Entertainment (eps. 9-10) stood out for me. She was chillingly ruthless — in my opinion, the best villain of the season.
Script — They really leveled up the scale and diversified the crimes this time: gambling, fraud, match-fixing, entertainment industry exploitation, and more. It felt bigger and more varied.
That said, for someone who watched all three seasons back-to-back in just a few months, a lot of it still felt pretty familiar and predictable. But for first-time viewers or people who watched the seasons with longer gaps, this should feel fresh and very satisfying.
OST — Some tracks were excellent and really elevated the emotional moments; others were solid but decent at best.
Direction — It stayed very similar to the previous two seasons — reliable and stylish, but nothing groundbreaking or new to offer.
Rewatch Value — Definitely high. I’d happily come back anytime to watch the Rainbow Taxi crew delivering justice once again. That satisfying feeling never gets old!
Overall, it's still a very enjoyable season with strong acting, bigger cases, and the same cathartic revenge vibe we love — just not as revolutionary as season 1 felt. If you're new to the series, you'll probably love it even more.

Superhero Ride with Cash Powers
Very good concept ruined by poor execution. It had good actors , nice plot , good visuals but apart from that nothing much to offer. Everything seems scattered all over the place. Pacing is very slow and disjointed script made it look poor. Superhero who requires cash to perform his duties as superhero and others who always rely on something to. This could have been a banger.Villains were not convincing either. Background music is a good thing to mention. Overall I will give it 7.5 .

Engaging drama ended in a frenzy
SPOILERS ARE THERE.Recently,after watching SKJ in vincenzo ,DOTS and MCW in FOE , got interested in their previous works. So came to watch this drama. Will write down a few points , completely my personal opinion. Absolutely no issues if someone agrees or disagrees with it.
CAST- SJK as ML was good and the most engaging part of the show. His character looked well written and darker than other dramas. MCW's character Eon Gi looked somewhat vulnerable in parts. The character depth of Jae Hui was lost somewhere around the mid part of the drama . Other cast looked decent also. SJK is the most engaging part of this drama and his performance can keep you hooked.
STORY- Started off well , ended in a horrific manner with keeping many loose ends. It seemed that the ending was written in a rushed way. The Group of Companies just vanished into thin air with a stab injury leading to memory loss LOL. Around episodes 7-8 this revenge thing was cleared and then memory losses came into picture. But yes it was engaging till the penultimate episode.
MUSIC- OSTs were good along with background score.
ENJOYMENT - YES , definitely enjoyed it watching , there were very less boring scenes or episodes. Its the last episode or ending that messed up my viewing experience. Not only the ending was rushed, but also it seemed meaningless to have such ending in a revenge drama.
OVERALL - Decent one time watch . Will not watch it again.

Badass , Action Oriented!
This series got started in a very interesting note. But after a few episodes the twist was pretty clear to me. ( Personally). One may find this edge of the seat thriller if they don't find out or predict the twist.Han So Hee has done a fantastic job doing the action sequences. I was introduced to Han So Hee through her cameo in " 100 Days my prince and then " World of the married ". In this one, she was in a completely new, bold , raw, savage avatar. Was Smitten by her beauty previously but in this one , oh boy the action scenes were damn great and treat to the eyes. Soundtracks are pretty decent. I think it a must watch and binge worthy series for action lovers.
