Great watch!

Not sure why this drama doesn't rate higher. The title is a misnomer - it really is about a taxi driver for ghosts but too bad it's up against another drama currently broadcasting which has a more famous (and handsome!) taxi driver. I guess shows with supernatural themes generally don't rate as well and also this ghost show doesn't have idols or well-known actors to prop it up.

However, the acting is solid enough, the characters are fleshed out, and the stories are single episode explorations. The synopsis is predictable: ghost takes taxi but can't leave. She is inexplicably tied to him and therein lies the mystery - why or how are they tied together? Who is she? How or why did she die?

Overall it's a fun watch with some light humour, the lead characters are likeable, and the pacing is good. The whole series is short, only 12 episodes so that really helps with the pacing. Each episode focuses on one ghost passenger's story so the series moves pretty swiftly. What's not to like?

The only thing I would have liked as with any ghost story is copious crying (on my part). I have to yet to shed a tear over lmpossible love or tragic circumstances of lost dreams and what could have been. But there are still 4 episodes left so anything is possible.
