They distribute products relevant to the elderly while easing their way into their lives, and Im-soo was one such target of theirs. The main singer and salesman made his way into her life and heart, told her a story that was similar to her own and became a close confidant of hers.

Taxi Driver Season 2 Episode 3 Review

Another wonderful episode that made sure to keep the flow of things intact and connected with every episode. One thing about Taxi Driver that I have come to enjoy is the realism that it portrays with its characters and does not make it seem like miracles are taking place throughout the show.

Do-gi’s trauma which does not end in season 1 is one of the elements which portray this part, and so do the real dangers out there in the world which can keep you on your toes. The little bits make the realistic element grow and this is only adding to the beauty of the show.

Finally, the episode itself has kept me thinking about the monsters in the world who show up with smiling faces and the many stories that I have to look forward to throughout this show. A definite marvel that I am sure to enjoy.
