Taxi Driver (2021)

 

Sypnosis

Kim Do-gi (Lee Je-hoon) has lived more honestly than anyone else as an officer in the Special Forces. Yet, when a serial killer murders his mother, he spends his days in agony. While feeling wronged and broken, Do-gi was recruited by Jang Sung-chul (Kim Eui-sung) to work for his company, Rainbow Taxi. Far from an ordinary taxi service, Rainbow Taxi is actually a secret organization that avenges victims whom the law didn’t protect by offering them "revenge-call" service to its clients. There, Do-gi becomes a star driver who delivers satisfying revenge based on the client demands.

Meanwhile, Kang Ha-na (Esom) is a prosecutor who investigates Rainbow Taxi despite being warned by her superior that Rainbow Taxi isn't worth her time. She was initially furious with Rainbow Taxi's lawless behavior, but at the same time, she feels confused to see them solve cases that the law cannot, which eventually caught up to her when her colleague was murdered by the suspect that she and her colleague was tailing. Between those who believe that revenge embodies true justice and those who pursue the outlaws, Do-gi seeks what justice truly means.
