Taxi Driver

Taxi Driver centers on a former special forces operative who channels his precise training into justice for people the system has failed. He works under the umbrella of a secret group that fronts as a taxi company, a cover that lets him slip through the city’s seams with discretion. He keeps a wary distance from his own past while choosing cases where the powerful and corrupt have harmed ordinary people. The show follows his meticulous planning, the uneasy alliances he builds with others who share his aim, and the moral tests that come with pursuing revenge outside traditional channels. It stays focused on character, action, and consequence, without tipping into spoilers about key twists or endings.

Released in 2021, the series is directed by Kang Bo-seung and created by Lee Ok-gyu, Oh Sang-ho and Carlos. The team brings a lean, punchy energy to a vigilante premise that blends crime and drama with sharp timing.

Cultural impact is evident in how the show frames justice and accountability, inviting viewers to weigh the costs of taking action outside the law. Its striking visual language, crisp action sequences and the embedded taxi front have become talking points among fans and genre enthusiasts.

Reception has been positive, with early word of mouth highlighting the brisk pace and Lee Je-hoon's intense turn as Kim Do-ki. The series foregrounds themes of injustice, power, secrecy, and the personal cost of pursuing vengeance and questions whether ends justify means, all delivered with a tight, production savvy edge. It holds an 8.159 out of 10 from 160 votes.
