Lee Je-hoon, Pyo Ye-jin, Kim Eui-Sung, Jang Hyuk-jin, and Bae Yoo-ram have also confirmed their participation in the program. Taxi Driver is slated to return in early 2023 with a new season. Taxi Driver is based on the famous webtoon of the same name and follows the narrative of the vigilante taxi driver organization “Rainbow Transporation Team,” who aid individuals mistreated by others and try to rid the city of crime. Constantly on the run from the authorities, this “Blue-bird” crew searches down offenders who go unpunished by the state in their quest for justice and then pursues vengeance for the oppressed.
The first season of the program was a big success, with a high average viewing rate of 16% and a lot of positive feedback from fans. Lee Je-hoon will resume his role as Kim Do-gi, a guy who chose to seek justice after witnessing the terrible death of his mother. Pyo Ye-jin will also return as Ahn Go-eun, a brilliant hacker who begins working for Rainbow Taxi Company after her older sister commits herself. Unfortunately, Esom’s agency, Artist Company, said that the actress would not be joining the second season of the flagship program owing to scheduling conflicts.
