“Gökkuşağı taksi”; ihanete, zorbalığa ve haksızlığa uğramış insanların, hayatlarının bittiğini düşündüğü ya da hayatlarını bitirmeyi düşündüğü anlarda yardım etmek için kurulmuş lüks bir hizmettir. İnsanlar artık çıkış yolu göremediğinde ve hayatlarından vazgeçmeye karar verdiğinde bu kararları uygulayabilecekleri muhtemel yerlere Taksi çalışanlarının reklam kartlarını bırakması sonucu yolcularını seçerler.

Kartlarında ise “ölme, intikam al” yazmaktadır. O psikolojideyken böyle bir yazı görmek insanların ilgilini çeker ve sona yaklaşmışken ne kaybederim ki diye numarayı çevirirler. Telefonu açan kişi her zaman olmasa da çoğunlukla taksinin şoförü Kim Do-Ki (Lee Je-Hoon)’dir. Önce arayan kişi hakkında bir araştırma yapılır. Kısa bir süre sonra lüks taksimiz yeni müşterisi olan mağdur kişinin önünde durur. Yolcuyu alan Do-ki onu intikamını almayı gerçekten isteyip istemediğini test etmek için bir bakkalın önünde duran atari konsoluna götürür.  Bu sadece taksimiz için değil aynı zamanda yolcu içinde bir karar aşamasıdır.

Taksi durağının sahibi Jang Sung-Chul(Kim Eui-Sung) tarafından verilen bir adet jeton ile konsolun ekranında intikam almak isteyip istemediğine dair kısa bir video oynatılır, seçenek sunulur. Kabul edilmesi durumunda ise Gökkuşağı Taksi ekibi operasyona başlar. Taksinin mühendisleri Choi Kyung-Koo(Jang Hyuk-Jin) ve Park Jin-Eon(Bae Yoo-Ram)’dur. Bilgisayar uzmanı ve arka plan araştırmaların başında ise Ahn Go-Eun(Pyo Ye-Jin) vardır.

Hikaye ilerledikçe başlama nedenleri ve bir araya gelme hikayeleri de arka planda ilerler. Her yolcu yeni bir hikaye, yeni bir macera olarak bizlere sunulur. Her seferinde şoförümüz farklı bir kimlikle karşımıza çıkar. Lee Je-Hoon aksanıyla, karaktere girişi ve canlandırdığı tiplerle mükemmel şekilde rolü sırtlanmıştı. Açıkçası diziyi de almış götürmüştü. Her 2-3 bölümde bir yeni bir hikaye izledik diyebilirim. Oyuncuya tekrar tekrar hayran oldum.

Mekanik ekip bir çok dizide gördüğümüz aşina olduğumuz simalardı. Taksi durağı sahibi ise W: Two Worlds Apart dizisinin sevmediğimiz karakteriydi. Açıkçası kadın oyuncular konusunda kısır bir diziydi. Olan biteni araştırıp duran bir savcı kadında vardı ortalarda ama oyuncuyu zaten sevmem karakteri de çok yani olsa da olur olmasa da olurdu.

Söylentiye göre ne olduğunu bilmiyorum ama yönetmen ile senarist arasındaki anlaşmazlık nedeni ile dizinin son bölümlerini yardımcı senarist tamamlamış. Zaten yüksek tempolu olan dizi daha da temposu artarak ilerledi diyebilirim. Hikayenin bir webtoon çevirisi olduğunu düşünürsek senaryo zaten var olan bir hikayeden dizileştirilmiş. Tam olarak neye anlaşamamış olabilirsiniz. Toparlarsak dizi, telefon dolandırıcılığı, okul zorbalığı, internet pornosu, katil, seri katil, uyuşturucu gibi birden fazla toplumsal konuya parmak bastı. Lee Je-Hoon çiçeğimde şahane bir şekilde şovunu yaptı. Veee dizinin müzikleri, enfesti. Hangisini seçeceğimi şaşırdım.

YB - Silence

Yoo Do Hyun - Way Home

Simon Dominic - Run Away

List of series about revenge, justice, revenge-justice and solving mysteries (Warning: Spoilers)

If you're as vindictive as I am but still like a happy ending, these maybe for you. (Don't worry, I've never actively tried to ruin someone's life irl...yet)

Also, if you're like me, once you get hooked on one genre or type of series/movie, you'll probably want to watch more similar items.

So, whether you want to kick back with a relaxing series about revenge/murder or you want to take notes for your own revenge, here's a list of series about revenge/solving mysteries that I've watched recently:

1. Taxi Driver (2021-) starring Lee Je-hoon, Kim Eui-sung, Pyo Ye-jin, Jang Hyuk-jin, Bae Yoo-ram

I mean, it's starring Lee Je-hoon. Need I say more? Ok fine. He's an ex-militant that had a loved one murdered. He groups together with like-minded people that seek revenge but for other people who are experiencing similar pain as they are. It's thrilling but also ridiculous, funny, goofy, and very satisfying. i.e. The good justice-seekers always win. I mean, what they're doing to get justice puts them in a gray area at best. But still better than the soulless that they go after.

2. Bulgasal: Immortal souls starring Lee Jin-wook, Kwon Nara, Lee Joon, Gong Seung-yeon, Jung Jin-young, Park Myung-shin, and Kim Woo-seok

I did a review for this once (with spoilers). I wouldn't say this is entirely about revenge per say but it's in the mix. Here's the review if you're interested: https://www.tumblr.com/nostalgiqueajamais/681321371629944832/bulgasal-on-netflix?source=share

3. The Untamed starring Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo

Based on the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, Wei Wuxian's spirit is summoned 16 years after his death to seek revenge for the summoner. On his quest, he unravels the common enemy that was responsible for his own demise. The theme starts with revenge but it's so much more than that. If you love slow-burn love and chemistry bursting through the screen without uttering a single word, this is for you.

4. Birth of a beauty starring Han Ye-seul, Joo Sang-wook, Jung Gyu-woon, Wang Ji-hye and Ha Jae-Sook

Sa Geum-ra, played by Ha Jae-Sook, is kindhearted and overweight (this is a plot point) housewife that's married to Jung Gyu-woon's character, Kang Joon. The latter is cheating on the former with Wang Ji-Hye's character. Long story short, she loses weight to win back her husband's affections but ends up seeking revenge because... find out for yourself. It's funny, ridiculous and goofy and the plot kept me at the edge of my seat. The series does drag a little during the last three or so episodes. The plot is mainly based on revenge, infidelity, and fat-shaming. As someone who grew up being dubbed "fat," "pig" etc. even when I wasn't and later when I eventually was, Sa Geum-ra's pain of feeling unlovable simply because of her size was something I related to greatly. Which leads me to my next recommendation:

5. Switched starring Kaya Kiyohara and Megumi Seki

Kaya Kiyohara is Ayume whose body gets switched with that of Megumi Seki's character. The latter is the "invisible" archetype while the former is the popular, pretty girl. This series explores an interesting perspective (mindset) that challenges that of Birth of a Beauty.

6. Cafe Minamdang

I loved the goofy satire elements of this series. And the ending was satifisfying but admittedly, sometimes the episodes had a tendency to drag the plot on and I had moments when my attention was elsewhere. But I still recommend it.

7. Girl from Nowhere starring Chicha "Kitty" Amatayakul as Nanno

Nanno seems to be an entity of some sort (think Eris, Goddess of Chaos) that infiltrates school after school after school while seeking "social justice." Nanno doesn't pick sides but it has a righteous tone "holding up the mirror to hypocrites." The overall theme isn't evident until about 3 episodes later. Kitty gives a truly enchanting performance as Nanno.

8. The Glory starring Song Hye-Kyo, Lim Ji-yeon

How could I possibly forget the Glory? But I did while writing this list. However, it is one of the best series I've watched. I've liked Lim Ji-Yeon since her movie Obsessed starring opposite Song Seung-Hyeon. She was so natural and convincing that as much as I liked Lim Ji-Yeon, I hated her character so much. Unpopular opinion: While I really like the actor Lee Do-hyun as well as his character, I feel like I could've done without the latter in the movie. His character was really sweet towards Song Hye-Kyo's Dong-eun and very supportive. Bf material, he accepted her with all her flaws. That's all a girl can ask for. However, I feel like his character had nothing to do with the main story and that I would have been fine if he weren't in it.

9. Celebrity

The revenge plotline comes much later. But each episode was so enticing and left me at the edge of my seat. However, they dragged the plotline in the later episodes and the ending was a bit disappointing. So this is on my recommendation list but with a grain of salt.

10. Flower of Evil

The last one is more or less about revenge. But it is about solving a mystery and clearing up one's name. This one made me hella confused and got me hooked. I really like the characters' chemistry. The ending could've been better but great series overall albeit very bittersweet.
