Lee Je-hoon Makes a Dazzling Comeback in 'Taxi Driver 3' Premiere!

SBS drama 'Taxi Driver 3' has officially returned, marking a spectacular comeback.

The first episode, which aired on the evening of the 21st, captivated viewers with a depiction of a human trafficking operation by a Japanese private loan shark organization.

Just as a kidnapped woman was about to be auctioned, a mysterious figure in a mask appeared, swiftly decimating the criminal organization.

Following this, the Rainbow Taxi team, including Ahn Go-eun (Pyo Ye-jin), Chief Choi (Jang Hyuk-jin), and Assistant Manager Park (Bae Yoo-ram), caused chaos at the scene, and the masked man's identity was revealed.

The face beneath the mask was none other than Kim Do-gi (Lee Je-hoon). When the yakuza demanded to know his identity, Kim Do-gi coolly replied, "I am a taxi driver." He then effortlessly subdued the bewildered thugs with a few powerful punches, delivering a moment of pure catharsis for the audience.

The 'Taxi Driver' series follows the story of Rainbow Taxi, a clandestine taxi company, and its driver Kim Do-gi, who carries out revenge on behalf of victims seeking justice.

Korean netizens are buzzing with excitement, with comments like "Lee Je-hoon is truly Kim Do-gi reborn!" and "This season is already living up to the hype from seasons 1 and 2." Many also praised the episode's thrilling start, noting "The immersion from the very first episode is incredible."
