Refreshing Idea, but needs more focus on characters.

There were quite many things to love about Taxi Driver, and I hate that I couldn't agree on giving a higher rating, but the things I did love include:
- The idea of getting revenge through a Taxi was a very refreshing idea and the comfort the victims felt when the main character, Doki listens to their stories warmed my heart a lot.

- The main character, Doki was also very complex, and not to even mention the actor's portrayal of this character's weaknesses, strengths, actions, and even reasonings was really good.

- The awareness each of their cases raised, watching the victims tell their struggles was very heartbreaking but the fact that these cases actually occur in real life allowed us as viewers to see why we should try as possible to be better or more supportive of victims who go through horrifying things as such.

- The villain, Beak Sun Mi, was a very complex character who knew what she wanted and was smart enough to get her hands on it.

- Both of the FLs. One of them was Go Eun, Go Eun had a bad backstory that made her physically and emotionally unstable, yet despite this, she was able to get herself up and fight for what she desired, demonstrating her strength. I absolutely loved that.

On the other hand, despite the fact that she was despised by the majority of viewers, I adored Hana's character because she had such an independent demeanor and a stubborn intellect that made me fall in love with her right away. And she was just despised by the majority of spectators since she held a different belief than the Blue Bird Team.

Things I disliked:
- The founder of the Blue Bird team, Jang Sung Chul had very little intricacy or steady composition. Yes, he was brilliant enough to form the team, but given that all he did was get angry, he seemed to me to be a self-pitying, anger-driven man who wasn't even smart. For example, when Beak Sun Mi was exposed to be the villain as the series progressed, I was unhappy that he hadn't seen it coming. It didn't make sense; he was working with a lady who could murder him with the flick of a finger, and he had no leverage to defend himself and his crew. His supposed personality traits of being intelligent and intimidating had nothing to do with 90% of the things his character performed.

- Stripping Go Eun of the follow-up of her backstory. I enjoyed Go Eun's character and was surprised to see that she had a background, but I'm pleased she did. Unfortunately, almost nothing happened with her after her backstory episodes; I mean, she's one of the main characters, so a backstory should've been inevitable; it was almost as if they'd forgotten about her.

- Hana's wasted potential. As much as I like her character's steadiness and independence, I despised how long it took the scriptwriter to put her on the team. Her joining the team was something I expected to happen even before the drama aired, but they took much too long to do so. Hana was a clever person who understood her way around the law, therefore I believe she could have protected the team better even if the law didn't punish the offenders harshly enough. They could've also given her character a more interesting backstory.

I recommend this but if you're like me you'll have difficulties wrapping your head around the unsteady development of some of the characters.
