I wasn’t planning on watching this drama, because I don’t like the “based on a true story” kind of thing. I’m so glad I gave it a chance! Because it is based on real events, the core of the story is true, but other things with the actors were enhanced and changed for drama. This is a time in Korean history a lot of people don’t even realize happened. In fact, after it was over, the Korean government tried to cover it up, and citizens were either unaware it happened, or didn’t talk about it. In real life, what the taxi driver and the German reporter witnessed, affected them for the rest of their lives. After you watch it, it’s the kind of drama that stays with you long after, because you can’t believe something like the events that occurred actually took place, and not really that long ago. I highly recommend this drama, but not if you aren’t ready to shed some tears. The real life taxi driver died a few years after he witnessed this tragedy, and the German reporter died, I believe in 2016. He searched for the taxi driver right up to his death, not knowing he died years prior. He really wanted to meet up with him again.
