'The Good Taxi 3' announces the return of Kim Eui-sung as the exemplar of a true adult, 'Chief Jang'.
The new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Good Taxi 3', which premieres in November (written by Oh Sang-ho / directed by Kang Bo-seung / produced by Studio S, Group Eight, BN Entertainment), is a series based on the webtoon of the same name, about the veil-shrouded taxi company Rainbow Transportation and taxi driver Kim Do-gi carrying out private vengeance on behalf of wronged victims.
The 'The Good Taxi' series is a confirmed mega-hit IP that ranked fifth overall (21%) among domestic terrestrial and cable dramas aired after 2023, and last year won the Best Drama Series award at the 28th Asian Television Awards (ATA), Asia's most prestigious media awards. Following previous seasons, the 'Rainbow five' Lee Je-hoon (as Kim Do-gi), Kim Eui-sung (as Chief Jang), Pyo Ye-jin (as Go Eun), Jang Hyuk-jin (as Chief Choi), and Bae Yoo-ram (as Deputy Park) have all announced their full-group comeback, raising fans' expectations.
In this regard, 'The Good Taxi 3' drew attention by releasing the first stills of the returning 'Chief Jang' Kim Eui-sung. Kim Eui-sung plays Chief Jang, who serves both as the head of the Bluebird Foundation, Rainbow Transportation's foundation supporting crime victims, and as the head of Rainbow Transportation, which punishes perpetrators by force, acting as a hidden collaborator moving between the light and shadows. He has emerged as a symbol of an 'exemplary leader,' showing not only the 모습 of a true adult who considers others before himself, but also as a hands-on leader who dives into role-playing to carry out vengeance, and as a guide who leads the Rainbow Transportation team members to perform better.
Among the released stills, the current condition of Chief Jang, who still steadfastly protects Rainbow Transportation, is captured and draws attention. Chief Jang is seen washing taxis at the garage on a warm afternoon. The peaceful atmosphere of Rainbow Transportation, which belies the fact that it is a hideout where the 'private vengeance agency service' is secretly provided, increases interest.
Along with this, the humanity felt in Chief Jang's gentle smile makes the return of the 'true adult' Chief Jang palpable. In particular, a scene was captured of Chief Jang facing a man who appears to be a client, foreshadowing a new prelude to vengeance by the 'Rainbow five' and amplifying curiosity about what stories the returning 'The Good Taxi 3' will write.
The production team of 'The Good Taxi 3' hinted, "Kim Eui-sung has been a solid pillar not only in his character but also on set, leading everyone as a mental support and becoming a reliable backbone for 'The Good Taxi 3.' Thanks to him, everyone has united to build strong chemistry," and added, "Please pay attention to Chief Jang's weighty presence in the more spectacular world of season 3 and the fantastic teamwork of the 'Rainbow Transportation five' that he will lead."
Meanwhile, the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Good Taxi 3' is scheduled to premiere on Nov. 21 (Fri). In addition, 'The Good Taxi 3' will be available in Asia, the Middle East and Africa through Viu, Asia's largest regional OTT platform.
