The SBS new Friday-Saturday drama 'Taxi Driver 3,' which marked the turning point of the Korean-style caper drama, released its first teaser, signaling the expansion of an even more spectacular universe.
SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Taxi Driver 3' (written by Oh Sang-ho / directed by Kang Bo-seung / produced by StudioS, Group Eight, BN Entertainment) is a series based on the webtoon of the same name, about the veil-covered taxi company Rainbow Transportation and taxi driver Kim Do-gi completing revenge on behalf of wronged victims in a private revenge-for-hire drama. As the previous seasons ranked fifth (21%) in overall viewership among domestic terrestrial and cable dramas aired since 2023, solidifying itself as a successful example of a Korean-style seasonal drama, viewers' expectations are rising for the return of the proven mega IP 'Taxi Driver.'
Meanwhile, the 'Taxi Driver 3' side released the first teaser on Monday the 27th. The released video highlights the suffering victims who still live in an era that needs Rainbow Transportation, evoking sympathy. The scene of Chairman Jang (played by Kim Eui-sung) reaching out with the words "Don't die, let's take revenge together" creates tension while announcing the prologue to Rainbow Transportation's revenge-for-hire.
Above all, in the reality where international crime runs rampant in the global era, a scene of Kim Do-gi (played by Lee Je-hoon) contacting Interpol was captured, raising interest. In the last season, set in Vietnam, they delivered thrilling chills by smashing an illegal gambling site operator group that lured young people with overseas employment bait to commit assault and confinement. In the upcoming season 3, they are targeting illegal private loan organizations related to overseas human trafficking, hinting at international cooperation and foreshadowing a much larger scale.
Along with this, the returning taxi hero Kim Do-gi's presence once again captures attention. In addition to his trademark car chases and hand-to-hand combat with overwhelming action sequences, his alter-ego play is also more intense. Furthermore, boosted by global cooperation, the more spectacularly evolved team play of the "Rainbow five" provokes exhilaration and maximizes the charm of the caper drama. Also, with Do-gi's cryptic remark about "one more perpetrator who has never shown themselves until now," the arrival of unpredictable incidents and ruthless villains is foreshadowed, followed by the provocative copy "the beginning and the end of Taxi Driver," increasing curiosity.
Meanwhile, 'Taxi Driver 3,' selected as a production support project by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Communications Agency (KCA) in 2025, is scheduled to premiere in November.
