Have you had any thought of getting revenge on someone who has trampled your life? Like, do unto them what they have done unto you? Since placing justice in our own hands is illegal, our only option is to depend on the law and let the law give the verdict. But the new Korean drama, "Taxi Driver," will give you the option that you desire. When you are in your most desperate time, just call tel no. 080-505-8282, a deluxe taxi service that will give you justice because just like what their motto reads, "Don't die, get revenge. We'll do it for you." (Disclaimer: We do not encourage unlawful acts. This is just to give a realistic interpretation of the drama.)

Characters that get revenge are often the coolest ones since it will require the actors to portray the toughest, cold-blooded fighter that will give justice to the character. Unlike other foreign action movies that give serious scenes throughout the whole hour, Korean movies are always unique when giving us action dramas. They always integrate comedy to show how each actor can diversify their character.

The ongoing Korean drama, "Taxi Diver," is the next big thing you want to see today. It is not your ordinary action-comedy drama. It addresses issues that highlight how powerful people in the society can outdo justice, and how people in the lower class were treated unfairly. At the end of every episode, this drama teaches us good morals and how to be noble in every possible way. 

It will not only give you a relevant and very timely story, but it will also show you well-depicted characters by popular Korean actors. Having Lee Je-hoon portray the lead character Kim Don-gi is an additional factor on why you should watch this drama. His versatility in shifting from a cold character to a funny one is very suitable to his features. When he does his duties as the chastiser, he always ends up capturing our hearts like what he always did in his previous dramas.

Viewers are bound to like how oppressed people got the chance to receive justice with the help of this revenge service. It may not be the right thing to do but just like how it was portrayed in the drama, the process of justice was insufficient. Vigilante, as what society calls them, exist to undertake law enforcement to give the proper justice they believed someone has to receive. It is maybe a sensitive issue to talk about but this is the reality.
