“It’s not that I want to say that the law or the law enforcement is a mess, but there’s bound to be loopholes because the society is not perfect. From here, I want to show the pain felt by victims of crime.”

Cases of modern slavery, school violence, sexual extortion videos, statute of limitations, etc. that raised public resentment appear as the main subject of the drama.

"as one case in the second half is specific by nature, we also asked for permission from the victim’s family.”

"I thought that it’ll cross the line to present a drama about a private justice (lit. private/personal revenge) to 15 years old middle school viewers. We decided that the narrative itself has a bad influence on students.”

“The mistake of the issue regarding Lee Jehoon’s action scene largely lies in the directing.”

“I think it’s only possible for dramas to present a strong punishment if there was a narrative serving an intense damage in the first place."

“Whether or not the act of private justice (lit. personal revenge) the Rainbow Team does on behalf of others is the right thing, whether a revenge is an act that can eventually be achieved; that’s the main theme of the drama."

"The drama will have a happy ending with a bright tone."

"Personally, I think that reality is important for fantasy to be embraced... I think that the story can be created realistically without needing the help of CG."

"We also agreed to minimize the use of CG and to film with speed while following the movements of the actor during action scenes. That’s why rather than looking refined, it can look rough and unsophisticated in the eyes of the viewers."

"The Bluebird Foundation that I brought into the drama, which comes with an important setting, is something that I came across while I was covering for a <Unanswered Questions> 10 years ago."

"One thing the cases appearing in <Taxi Driver> have in common is the fact that there are countless victims (of the same type of crime) to the point that it cannot be specified (into one particular case)."

"Although Lee Jehoon said he’ll also do the dangerous scenes himself, from a director’s perspective, I can’t ask him to do super dangerous scenes. There were a few instances where an accident almost happened while filming car action scenes."

"I never exceeded the allowed total filming duration, except once by 3 minutes a few days ago. There was an instance where I stopped filming after asking the actors/actresses for their understanding.”

"Episodes 8 and 14 are (filled with) action scenes throughout.”
