Originally based on a famous webcomic, the Rainbow Taxi crew are back with a vengeance in the highly anticipated second season of fan-favorite action-thriller K-Drama, 'Taxi Driver,' now streaming on KOCOWA+. Season 1, centered around Kim Do Ki (Lee Je Hoon), a former Special Forces member whose mother was murdered during his youth, who begins working as a Rainbow Taxi driver for a company that offers "revenge-call" services to its revenge-seeking clients. The show centers around Do Ki's path to understanding what true justice is.
This season, Rainbow Taxi Driver's Kim Do Ki is back with a vengeance as the Rainbow Taxi is taking their services abroad to Vietnam! This action-packed thriller is sure to captivate audiences worldwide, but don't let us be the judge. Here are 5 reasons you should check out K-Drama Taxi Driver.
5. Revenge-Themed K-Dramas are oh-so-satisfying!
"The Glory" was a recent megahit on Netflix for its nail-biting revenge plot and is set to premiere its second season as a result. Taxi Driver 2 is following in its footsteps with a similar theme of taking revenge on people who have been wronged but otherwise ignored by society's existing laws. Taxi Driver is addicting for the way it avenges victims and makes the viewer rethink their opinions on morality and justice.
4. New cast member Shin Jae Ha joins the ranks!
Rising rookie, Shin Jae Ha joins the cast for Season 2 of Taxi Driver as On Ha Joon, a new driver at the Rainbow Taxi Company. Though vastly inexperienced, his mischievous charm and bright personality will make up for his mistakes. On Ha Joon serves as an antithesis to his own role model, the best Rainbow Taxi driver, Kim Do Ki, and is set to be a fan-favorite and highlight for Season 2 of the show! Taxi Driver's full cast includes Lee Je Hoon, Kim Eui Sung, Pyo Ye Jin, Jang Hyuk Jin, Bae Yoo Ram, and Shin Jae Ha.
