What makes A Taxi Driver worth watching

Korea's box office champ of 2017.

A Taxi Driver represents a strong example of south korea drama from the 2017 production cycle. Korean studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Drama and Historical elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.

The cast is led by Song Kang-ho, Thomas Kretschmann, Yoo Hae-jin. It originally aired on Showbox, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
