Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, Taxi Driver follows the story of the vigilante taxi driving group “Rainbow Transporation Team” who help people wronged by others, and aim to cleanse crime from the city. Constantly on the run from the law, this “Blue-bird” team, in their pursuit of justice, seeks out criminals who go unpunished by the law, and then aims to exact revenge for the oppressed.
The first season of the show was a huge success, achieving high average viewership ratings of 16 per cent, and received heaps of praise from viewers.
Lee Je-hoon will reprise his role as Kim Do-gi - a character who decided to pursue the path of justice after witnessing his mother being brutally murdered.
Pyo Ye-jin will also return as the skilled hacker Ahn Go-eun who starts working for Rainbow Taxi Company, after her elder sister dies by suicide.
Unfortunately, Esom’s agency - Artist Company - shared that the actress will not be joining the second season of the flagship show due to difficulty in coordinating her schedule.
