O Taxista 2

Apesar de manter a essência da primeira temporada (vingança pelas vítimas negligenciadas pela justiça regular), a segunda temporada de taxista não foi tão boa quanto a primeira. Se na primeira temporada tudo parecia mais sombrio com uma pitada de humor para balancear o clima pesado, nesta segunda temporada parece que os roteiristas decidiram escrachar no lado cômico, o que por vezes diminuía o peso da história, embora engraçado perdia um pouco do peso narrativo.

Assim como a primeira temporada teve suas histórias mais episódicas (narrando casos isolados), mas como uma trama maior acontecendo ao fundo, que culminou na segunda parte do drama. Essa história foi a parte mais chata do drama. Tudo que envolveu a trama do bispo foi muito chato e isso fez decair a qualidade do drama em geral.

Além disso, estava esperançosa por uma participação especial da promotora Kang Ha Na já que ela foi mencionada algumas vezes, mas em vez disso, surgiu uma nova personagem do nada (suposta primeira taxista da equipe Arco-Íris).

Dito tudo isso ainda é uma boa temporada, mas a primeira é muito melhor. Estou torcendo para que a terceira temporada seja melhor que esta.

Que o táxi continue rodando

Acho um absurdo terem feito uma segunda temporada por agora a saudade parece que vai ser maior AINDA. 😭😭😭
Esse final foi ótimo, amei aquela mulher lindíssima com a roupa incrível aparecendo no fim e sendo a primeira motorista, queria que tivesse tido mais história por trás, eu jurava que quem ia acabar aparecendo era a promotora com a polícia, saudades dela inclusive!
Essa segunda temporada foi incrível, amei demais, não perdeu a essência nem a emoção.
Parabéns aos atores, esse quinteto que deu muito trabalho e conquistou meu coração. Ao Je Hoon que já é meu amor já e consegui fazer um trabalho tão bem como Kim Do Gi! Você é incrível.
O drama é tão consistente, as histórias que você realmente quer fazer justiça e se sente aliviada que tem pessoas que fazem isso (no drama e talvez na vida real também, o mundo não é feito só de gente ruim graças a Deus)
O final que eu não peguei muito, a mulher fazendo continência pra ele era quem? A que morreu?
Mas a brecha que dá pra mais uma temporada me mata aaaaaa
Que o táxi continue em serviço ajudando muitas pessoas!

Obrigada por tudo

Amei cada episódio, foi divertido, emocionante e maravilhoso continuar com o pessoal do Rainbow Deluxe Taxi! O vilão foi o que eu menos gostei, por dois motivos, primeiro, que eu tinha acabado de ver o ator interpretando vilão em outro drama, e segundo, que fez aquele típico "fingir ser bonzinho mas na verdade é uma cobra". Ansiava por uma oficialização de namoro entre o Do Gi e a Go Eun, um beijinho pelo menos, mas já era de se esperar que só ficassem nos flertes. Se tiver uma terceira temporada, espero que seja sobre a primeira taxi driver, que aparece nesse último ep, ela parece maravilhosa!

A banger season 2!

For those of you who have not watched this drama is missing out big time!!!! A webtoon adaptation, this one's a brilliant sequel to the awesome Season 1. An amazing cast, great harmony amongst them with details pertaining to each character's individual growth as well as screen time, it gives justice not only to the perpetrators but also to each actor and a message to each one of us. With the highest ratings in this timeslot this year, surpassing their own rating history from S1, this one is a must watch. Great OST this time as well. Following up to the episodes, although the first few episodes kinda were slow-burn, the latter half initially picked up their own awesomeness and delivered promising end as well to all the sub plots cum individual cases. Loved it throughout.

Hardcore Rainbow Taxi member

S2 celebrates the kinship among the Rainbow taxi members. They are the core of the entire season. Its also where it shines brightest and helps you oversee the flaw and some holes in the story.

Where it pales to Season1:
Not as gritty. Season1 was drippling with suspense and often at the edge of your seat thriller. Season1 tiltering between black white and grey had this intensity that couldnt be reciprocated in Season2.

Where it's better in Season2:
Camaderie among the taxi driver members. Their rapport and always having each others back. Their loyalty and love is just really sweet.
The individual cases are much more fleshed out and the variety and scope of the cases were really good.

Highlights
The linking cases and big bad boss. The audacity of the moves Do Gi and the team makes. The subtle flirting between Do Gi and Go Eun. The cameo from Nam Goong Min and Kim So Yeon (very well used imo). The character of Oh Ha Jun who initially irked me and yet evoked sympathy later.

Issues
Some of the infiltration was orchestrated alittle too easily. It feels like you have to defy belief to just roll with it. And Do Gi's been protrayed like superhuman and Go eun a superhacker. There are also glaring plotholes here and there. Theres also alot of product placements that you and I may not care for.

Why I rate it higher than S1
The same reason why I tune in to watch. Ive formed an attachment to Taxi driver the series and its characters. Its almost like watching your child graduate from highschool and enter university. A new chapter, stronger kinship but different experience. S1 was alittle too gory and often I debated in dropping it as I couldnt agree with the punishment Do Gi belted out against the wrong doers. He almost seem like a grim reaper. Here S2 is a fairer vigilante. Most of their methods of punishment is less cruel, not as violent and non fatal.

S3 I pray they dont harm this series and the love I have for each of the cast. Plus it wouldnt feel the same if we are missing any of the core members.

A Hollow Follow-up Lacking Depth, Stakes, and Emotion

To be honest, I found this second season disappointing. What set the first season apart from typical, formulaic action dramas was its emotional depth.

In season one, we were introduced to characters united by tragedy, all carrying emotional scars and trauma. It felt raw and compelling. In contrast, this season lacks that emotional weight. The characters simply move from one case to another with a sluggish, detached pace. Rather than evolving, they become more exaggerated and superficial, resembling the over-the-top, predictable action dramas I was hoping this series would avoid.

I expected something grittier and darker, something that would leave me on the edge of my seat, but it fell flat.

The antagonist barely has any screen time, sometimes appearing in just one or two scenes per episode, or not at all, even after being revealed. The story also lacked intensity; the protagonists handled obstacles too easily, making the plot feel predictable and unchallenging.

There was a noticeable increase in comedic elements, along with excessive product placements, which further diluted the tension.

Overall, this season felt easy, predictable, and uninspired. It didn’t build on the depth of the first season. When the premiere ended with a mysterious sniper, I was excited, expecting a gripping storyline. But in the end, that plot point didn’t amount to much, and the characters showed no real growth. Even the club storyline, which initially seemed promising, turned out to be dull, the antagonists were oblivious to their enemies, making the conflict feel lifeless and uneventful.

It was a letdown. I don’t know if the show’s popularity made the creators complacent, but I expected more effort. That said, not everything was bad the action sequences and production quality, especially the stunts, were well-executed.

If there’s a third season, I hope for a return to the depth and intensity of the first. But given the show’s success, I have a feeling they’ll lean even further into the cheesy humor and lighthearted tone.

Here's my take on what I've seen so far. I watched season one in 2021 but went back to rewatch this a few weeks ago after finding out there was going to be a season 2. I wanted to vividly remember why I loved the first season and I'm being truthfully honest. I'm glad I rewatched the first season because to me it seemed like it picked up right where it left off once they were able to get rid of the second main antagonistic group.
The plots are the same. The revenge factor is the same except that some scenes are a bit more grittier than the first. Some of the cast that made it seem like they were going to be in season 2 is not in season 2 so far.

I love the cast but it seems like the two guys are dumber than dirt this time around. For one to be good with cars and the other a rocket scientist their skills are truly dismal in the second season. I love their chemistry but I really don't like side kicks who act like Jim Carey.

Unfortunately I knew who the antagonist was before the sixth episode. Makes me wonder how that scenario is going to play out.

I'm hoping against all possible hope that there's no romance in this. It never bodes well and it would be a waste. I got a funny feeling that it will go in that direction. I'm hoping it won't.

Alas as for me, I'm loving the second season. After coming from watching The Glory and it's dismal watered down revenge drama, this one is exceeding my expectations so far.

a mediocre watch at its best & painful at its worst

How this drama went from being a dark and violent action thriller with cases that would either make you furious or leave you heartbroken in season 1 to this lame attempt at the same plot is unfortunate!

Coming from someone who, when presented with anything that is centred around vigilante justice, will devour it up, this season was a huge miss and it physically hurts me to say this.
In season 1, you could connect to the deluxe taxi team members and understand where they were coming from- each one of them had been wronged and were carrying unresolved trauma from the past, they had stories to tell and justice to get.
Even the other cases depicted were often so raw and so brutal that it sometimes got overwhelming but then that was the essence of this drama. It made you question at times what exactly was the right thing to do.

This season however had none of that. It was considerably less violent and dark and the cases- that very much had the potential to be brutal and tug at your heart strings and make you feel something- were presented in a very lacklustre manner. And what were those punishments? did you see what that guy was doing to the kids? how does taking his wealth away do anything?

The major flaw was the weaker writing this time around. Our heroes for justice had it too easy throughout the show and the villain despite having a lot more power were always one step behind. It was caricature-ish at times which I think was intended with some over the top performances but yeah didn’t work for me.

More often than not I can take my brain out and set it aside for some mindless entertainment but for that I must love the main characters, unfortunately there was no chemistry among the team members - nothing,zilch- I felt nothing for them and couldn’t be more bothered about who got hurt or even which actor played whom except for maybe kim do gi (who doesn’t like a good looking man?) There was no character development whatsoever- could very well have had machines doing their jobs!At least one of them should have had an individual arc or maybe could have introduced a new character who they end up taking under their wing.

One of the bits that annoyed me was the comedy if you could call it that- the two car guys were essentially there for some slapstick comedy to lighten the mood but boy did it not work! I would often find myself cringe at their lame attempts.

They couldn’t even make me hate the bad guys. Embarrassed to say it out loud but I was so done with the good guys always getting their way that I found myself rooting for the villain- like please for once be smart and don’t do the dumbest and most predictable shit ever but I guess they didn’t think of me as someone powerful enough to listen to and well see whose loss it was!

Also, do these writers know that it is okay to maintain an aura of secrecy around a new character and not letting the audience know about their true intentions? Make us doubt if they actually are the bad guy for once! I am so done with those characters sticking out like a sore thumb while pretending to be normal and this is also both the actor’s and director’s fault. How about introducing a new character who doesn’t scream I am a foe for once?

The product placement was still very much in your face - someone please take notes from our one dollar lawyer- but the prosecutor not being a part of this show spared me from that stick balm thing to look refreshed.
Coming to that I missed her here, not that her character wasn’t pretty bland and annoying at times but her joining the deluxe taxi team was something to look forward to and I wish they had cast someone else for that role given the original actress had prior arrangements.

They left too much unresolved for the last 2 episodes. If you’re going for a redemption arch do it sooner and not squeeze it in the last episode.I really liked the cameo in the last episode, that woman has such great screen presence that she lit up the screen and I for once wasn’t tempted to shut down my laptop.
