The sauces in fact are now sold separately - for you to splash it over any meal.

18/04/23 - K-drama: Seungri’s Burning Sun or Victor’s Black Sun?
There’s a new K-drama series that’s been making waves lately in South Korea.
It’s Taxi Driver - Season 2.
It’s a story about a group of vigilantes running a secret on-call revenge service under the cover of a taxi company - called the Rainbow Taxi Company.
Season two is a continuation of season one with the company once again taking on revenge cases amid the threat of a major villain, seeking justice for the weak and downtrodden and championing those in need.
Like the first season- some of the revenge stories are based on real-life criminal cases.
But there’s one episode in season 2 that has got people talking…
