Let's just say Kim Do-Ki is Park Hae-Young meets Elliot Alderson + Jennifer Check + Amy Dunne + Sidney Prescott + Sam Carpenter + Nanno + Cassie Thomas + Lisbeth Salander. I just started watching both seasons of this series recently and I love how this is a soon to be cult classic in the veins of Mr Robot and Euphoria: I mean you have the iconic merchandise, fashion, characters, plotlines, memes and many more. If you loved Lee Je Hoon in Signal and a sucker for Kdramas with grunge/pastel/Y2K aesthetic, action packed scenes and self aware humor, this one's for you.
"Taxi Driver" (2021) and "Breaking and Re-Entering" (2024) share intriguing parallels in their exploration of justice beyond the boundaries of the law. In "Taxi Driver," Kim Do-gi's covert revenge service operates outside the legal system to avenge victims, while in "Breaking and Re-Entering," a group of thieves embarks on a unique mission of redemption through a "reverse heist," returning stolen money.
Both narratives delve into themes of justice and personal redemption, though they approach them differently—one through vigilante actions, the other through an unexpected twist of morality. Additionally, both titles masterfully blend genres, with "Taxi Driver" combining action, crime, and vigilante themes, and "Breaking and Re-Entering" mixing comedy, suspense, and quirky characters for an engaging and unpredictable experience.
