Sometimes the law doesn't work
Ok this is the last show i watched and loved it so it is pretty fresh in my mind and maybe this review will get a little long sorry about that. I will try not to put too many spoilers but just in case i warn you there could be some.
Plot: This season is mostly about revenge. The rainbow taxi group have a set up when they try to help people that was mistreated and the law didn't help them. I really like the way they show the clients getting in contact with them: mostly when people try to end their lives because they can't take it anymore, their phone number appears to help them.
This season is dark in a lot of aspects but that makes it good too. The cases they work are real cases (A few days ago i found the one about the company CEO and it is exactly as show in the drama something i found amazing and very brave).
We also get to know more about the team and why they do this something neccesary to understand them.
Characters: We have 5 main characters that for me personally complemented each other real good and it is what gets you hook up on the show. They feel as family at times even when all the scars they carry.
In this season the leader is Jang Sung Chul, the one who got them together. He is a little cocky at the start and doesn't listen to Kim Do Gi when he have doubts about getting help for someone worse than the people they punish and this will be his downfall in a way.
Kim Do Gi is our ML, our real hero, our taxi driver. Of course i'm not that objective since Lee Je Hoon is just sooo good. Soo very good at performing all the parts he really do in here. He isn't only Kim Do Gi he is also all the characters he pretend to be to get the revenge. His tragedy is heartbreaking and i really like everything that happened around it and how he gets some kind of clousure in the end. There is something that he still carries with him to season 2 but i think that is good too, it keeps the character more realistic in a way.
Either way in this season i will say that our hacker, Ahn Go Eun is the one who gets the best arc and the best clousure to her tragedy. That they link a case with her is something brilliant from the writers. Watching how she cries desesperately in her room, unable to move, just finding some comfort in some bandaids that Do Gi give her early on. Amazing performance by Pyo Ye Jin and something that stays with you.
Hightlights: Again i'm not that objetive because i was hooked from the very start, when our taxi driver appears to take a killer who was release earlier for good behavior. The first episode set the tone right away and i guess you get on it or probably won't enjoy it. For me everything is good: The plot, the acting, the music, all fits perfectly. I will say episode 14 is an all time good one, what happens almost kill me, it got me on the end of my seat. Amazing.
Negatives: Ok, we need to suspend disbelief in some cases. Kim Do Gi is the typycal action hero (Hawai 5.0 anyone?) so it seems nothing can't hurt him. It gets a little weird when after a beating with a baseball bat he is just like a day in a hospital but wel this happen in this kind of shows.
Also in one of the final eps we see prosecutor Kang Ha Na and Kim Do Gi go see the social worker from Maria's case (The first one) and she is in a mental hospital, traumatized because her time in Baek cell. i felt that they wanted us to feel sad for her, to show us that revenge doesn't always work but it felt flat on me. In the end this one took advantage of disable people so really i can't feel sad for her.
In conclusion, I love it and i really will recomend it to anyone.
Special shout out to Wang Tao Chi and Madam Li because really hilarious ;).
