The crime action comedy film "Informant" (director Kim Seok, provided by NS ENM, produced by Popcorn Film, distributed by Movie City SMC), which was invited as the opening film of the 24th New York Asian Film Festival and received the Best Foreign Language Film award in the foreign language film institutional sector at the 2025 Asia International Film Festival, has reunited Jang Hyuk-jin and Bae Yu-ram, who showed an overwhelming presence in the "Taxi Driver" series.
After being demoted, former ace detective Wang Nam-hyeok (Heo Sung-tae) has lost his passion, will and investigative instincts, and informant Jo Tae-bong (Jo Bok-rae), who had been providing information on major cases and pocketing the blind money, accidentally gets involved in a big scheme, leading to the events of the crime action comedy film "Informant," through which the duo Jang Hyuk-jin and Bae Yu-ram, who energized the "Taxi Driver" series, have reunited.
In the "Taxi Driver" series, Jang Hyuk-jin and Bae Yu-ram played Muji Transport engineer Choi Kyung-gu and Park Jin-eon, earning the nickname "Juimz" and receiving warm love from viewers. Contrary to their knack for unraveling case clues, they added vivid laughter with a somewhat sloppy charm, showcasing the essence of supporting acting. As the duo beloved as representatives of the "Taxi Driver" series, the two actors once again present a different chemistry through "Informant." In "Informant," which is enjoying box office success amid favorable audience reviews, Jang Hyuk-jin plays East District police chief Kang Yong-gu, who shadows Detective Wang Nam-hyeok for his suspicious behavior, adding weight to the story. Bae Yu-ram will play elite Park, who forms a peculiar antagonistic dynamic with informant Jo Tae-bong, and is expected to radiate a lively presence. In this way, the two actors display charms different from the "Taxi Driver" series and further enrich the story.
