The law is only work for the pauper, and does not work for the authority

Have you ever heard that term? I thought you are the witness about the law which's unfair for the weak and poor peoples.

Recently, in our country, there's a similar case. A father was robbed by four peoples. Then he defends himself and accidentally two mugger are dead. But did you know how the law judge it?

A father who's doing self defense be appointed as a suspect for murder case? I'm like, Are you kidding me? He doing self-defense but the law named it as murder and rule out who's the died mans? They are mugger! Did we have to be quiet if someone else want to rob us? The funny thing are the another mugger (two peoples) being witness for their mugger friends. What a suck law!

With netizen power, finally that father was released from jail. Thanks to Netizen who's know better.

Then I thought that these case happened in everywhere. Then these case remind me about one south korean drama. As you might be knew about me who's interested to watched investigation drama. It was Taxi Driver, the thriller, mystery, and investigation drama who has same theme with the case that I told before.

These drama showed us how The law is the institution that can't be trusted.


Taxi Driver | When The Law is Unfair

----

Taxi driver has originally tittle, Mobeomtaxi 모범택시 , is has meaning model taxi in english. But universal title was Taxi Driver.

It's told about a secret institution for get back the truth, for punish the bad guys who the law can't reach. That institution named Rainbow Taxi Revenge Service with 5 peoples running that secret institution.

There's a Kim Do Ki who has part as taxi driver. He would take the peoples who want to take the revenge and fight the bad guys and help their costumer. There's a Ahn Go Eun, she has job for hack all system when they were on duty. There's a Jang Hyuk Jin, Park Jin Eon, for helped the costumer in the field, and there's a leader named Jung Sung Chul.

When some one need help, magically, they has Rainbow Taxi company. Then they become a costumer to be picked up by Kim Do Ki. In the taxi, Kim Do Ki will interviewed the costumer about their problem and what the costumer wants for the revenge target. Kim Do Ki then drop out the costumer in one place where's a box game there. Kim Do Ki given the costumer a coin who can used in that box game. In the box game, there's a guide for take their result decision. Are they want to continue or are they want to stop and canceled the revenge mission.

If the costumer was chosen a continue, then the Rainbow Taxi Revenge Service will set the plan to accomplished their mission. The leader will approved the member plan and sponsor it. Then Kim Do Ki, Ahn Go Eun, Jang Hyuk Jin, and Park Jin Eon will running the mission.

The Rainbow Taxi Revenge Service was a pro to make their costumer pleased cause injustice that their received is avanged.

This Rainbow was a great company who's always success to take the costumer revenge. Their track record is not unreachable, even by the honest prosecutor, named Kang Ha Na. In every case that she chase are has connection to the Rainbow Taxi Revenge Service, when at the first she is know nothing about that. Because of her curiosity, she is finally know about Rainbow Taxi, but still don't want to drag them to court. Kang Ha Na finally learned that the honesty can't make the law work. Then, slowly she supported that company to judge the suspect who's unreachable by law.

Instead being a honest prosecutor who is obey the law and the articles, she then join the company silently. It make the company more strong till the end.


If The Law Can't Judge The Suspect, We Have To Take The Revenge

----

The Taxi Driver has 16 episodes with 9th different case. This drama was directed by Park Joon Woo who's previously directed Doctor Detective. This drama was being one of popular drama in south korean and also in my country. Also me very loved these movie not because the cast but about the theme.

This is my Lee Je Hoon Drama and after watched this drama I become Lee Je Hoon fans cause his drama never failed.

About this drama, the cast that I knew just Esom, Kang Hana role. I'm not her fan but I believe that Esom always chosen the great drama in her career. Moreover, the drama genre was my favorite, as you know might be that I'm the thriller addictor. So, I watched and being loved this drama.

I loved how the plot run, how the writer improved each main character. By the time, the drama showed the main character history. Not only about the costumer problem, the pasts of Rainbow Taxi's member was exposed which then made they were end up in Rainbow Taxi Revenge Service.

Fresh Theme

I have watched so many drama in these genre, but I can't found out the similar theme. The Taxi Driver was fresh in these theme. In several theme, we would faced the authority who's the person can't reachable till the end, and some heroes will be punished cause their the way they break the law, but in this drama the prosecutor is copied what the heroes are done, even join with that company, judge the suspect, the authority with their way.

Moreover, there's no romance in these drama. So it made the plot isn't failed. The romance that happened in these drama was the romance about Kim Do Ki and Lim Bok Ja in Voice Phishing case which's fake. These episodes was so hilarious and so funny. You know, Kim Do Ki was a stuffy person in previous episodes, but watching him as romantic man was so full of laugh. But he acted so pro, then make the lady boss being reaps what she sows, a deception.

In the end I was thinking that there's a romance between Kim Do Ki and Kang HaNa, but it's totally unhappened till the end. So I'm thankful cause their romance would be so annoyed.


These drama was a satire about the world who has so many authority who abused their power. Through these drama we can fulfill our wish to has a heroes who's punished the bad guys who isn't reach by the law. I even imagine, what if I opened that Rainbow Taxi Company too? I think, I have no brave to make it happened.

This drama make us know about how the authority was running the world.

Winning Several Awards

These drama was great. Not only popular, Taxi Driver received several awards from 2021 SBS Drama Awards. It was Best Actor for Lee Je-Hoon, Excellent Actress for Esom, Best Supporting Actor for Kim Eui-Sung, Best Supporting Actress for Cha Ji-Yeon, Scene Stealer Award for Shim So-Young, Best New Actor for Choi Hyun-Wook. Reportly, Taxi Driver will had season 2 soon and I can't wait to had these drama.

I have so many imagination in my head. Something that I can't achieve as human and as a girl. So writing very challenging. Since in Junior High School, I written whatever I want to write. Without skill, I just write what I want to read. Now I have 12th published novels and all of that are romance.

Yeah, I proudly say that I am an passionate author!
