About Taxi Driver
Taxi Driver, known in Korean as Mobeomtaeksi, is a South Korean action drama that premiered on SBS in 2021 and is adapted from the popular webtoon of the same name. The series follows the Rainbow Taxi company, a deluxe taxi service that hides a second, secret purpose behind its ordinary fleet. When victims of crime find that the justice system has failed them and have nowhere else to turn, the company quietly offers a different kind of help, working to set things right on their behalf.
At the center of the operation is Kim Do-gi, a former special-forces officer turned taxi driver whose own life was shaped by loss. Recruited by the foundation that runs Rainbow Taxi, he becomes the face of the company's fieldwork, taking on cases that the authorities have closed, ignored, or been unable to solve. Each storyline introduces a new client whose situation drives the episode, balancing tense action set pieces with moments of warmth among the close-knit team.
Across its two seasons the show frames its premise squarely around victims' advocacy and the question of what justice means when ordinary channels break down. The crimes the team confronts are presented in general terms, with the focus kept on the people seeking help and on the camaraderie, planning, and occasional comedy that hold the company together. The mix of crusading drama, ensemble chemistry, and slick action has made it one of SBS's most-watched recent series and a favorite among international K-drama fans.
