Should you watch it? YES!

This is a drama I was too hesitant to watch. Although I heard about all the buzz it was creating, and regardless of the love I have for Lee Jehoon, the violence aspect held me back from giving it a try. Finally, now that s2 is airing, my fomo urged me to binge s1 and god! I'm glad I did that.

The world is no binary, nothing's black and white, there's surely a gray area in between. And Taxi Driver picks up on the gray area in our justice system. This drama questions the difference between morality and legality. Being the pacifist I am, I was surprised when my conscience urged me to stand with Kim Dogi in all his actions. While we root for the rainbow gang, towards the end of the drama the holes in their organisation is also highlighted. The struggle faced by those who try to live within the constraints of law can also be witnessed through the prosecutor, Kang Hana. The drama tests our limits with all the remorseless criminals who escape lawful indictment through their economic, social and political privileges. It critiques some ignorant ideologies we have modelled over the years and urges us to rethink them.

Overall it's a fun watch and I would totally recommend!
