Lee Je Hoon Teases Deeper Teamwork and Bigger Action in “Taxi Driver 3”
Lee Je Hoon is gearing up for a powerful return as Kim Do Gi in the third season of the hit revenge thriller “Taxi Driver,” and he’s feeling the weight—and the joy—of the milestone. Acknowledging how rare it is for a K-drama to reach Season 3, he shared gratitude to viewers whose anticipation has fueled the series’ momentum.
The Rainbow Taxi family is back together—Kim Eui Sung, Pyo Ye Jin, Jang Hyuk Jin, and Bae Yoo Ram—and their off-screen chemistry is as lively as ever. From everyday banter about food and baseball to laughter that breaks out between takes, the cast’s easy camaraderie is set to translate into even tighter on-screen teamwork. Even with Do Gi’s stoic intensity, Lee admits it’s sometimes hard to keep a straight face when the team locks in together.
This season also welcomes a familiar leader behind the camera: director Kang Bo Seung, who previously served as assistant director in Season 1, steps up as the main director for Season 3. With a shared history and rhythm already in place, Lee notes that their creative communication has been seamless, with ideas flowing freely on set.
For Do Gi’s many disguises and alter egos, Lee doubled down on the details—from vocal tone to physical styling—while raising the bar on action. Expect more intensity, sharper choreography, and a thrill factor aimed to outdo previous seasons.
What should fans look forward to?
A more complete, upgraded Rainbow Taxi. Hidden enhancements and fresh dynamics are woven throughout, inviting viewers to spot the new layers as the story unfolds. Lee promises a ride that’s visually satisfying and “three times” more exhilarating.
“Taxi Driver 3” premieres on November 21 at 10 p.m. KST. Now’s the perfect time to catch up on Seasons 1 and 2—and get ready to buckle up for an even wilder run with the five-member Rainbow Taxi team.
