Taxi Driver 2 Ends With Their Highest Nationwide Viewership Rating with Episode 16!

Okay that was an unexpected ending of On Ha Jun in the last episode of Taxi Driver 2. I thought he's going to go all the way with his battle with Kim Do Ki but then there comes the twist. Seriously, if I were On Ha Jun, I would really not know what to do next knowing the truth that the person I'm following and doing illegal things for is the one responsible for my life's mess. Well, I guess that's what he's already feeling when he decided to end things with the bishop by risking his own life. Ah, On Ha Jun death got me really teary eyed. Throughout the run of Taxi Driver 2, I think the only episodes that got me crying was that one case with the old lady getting scammed and this last episode because of On Ha Jun. Truly, every man born on this planet was created to be good but because of the evil people around them is what turns these good people to evil. It's sad that this is one part of our reality.

Lee Je Hoon Takes On A Big Case Almost Identical to Ex-member Bigbang Seungri's Burning Sun Scandal In Taxi Driver 2 Episodes 11 & 12


Seems like 2 episodes ain't enough to solve a huge case like the Black Sun. Well, if it involves all sins of the world in one place with powerful people operating it and backing it up, I guess it all makes sense. I find it really intriguing 'coz this feels like a case of Seungri's Burning Sun scandal. To have an idol character named Victor which translates to Seungri in Korean, I wonder if allkpop was right with the show throwing shade at him. Well, it's a shame that something like this happened in real life, people behind this case truly are evil. Intoxicating women to deliver to hotels for the VVIP costumers.. that's just... ugh.. despicable! But hey we're watching Taxi Driver 2 so let's stick with the show. kk

Lee Je Hoon Got Caught In A Car Explosion In Taxi Driver 2 Episodes 9 & 10 | Drama Recap


I was about to mourn for Kim Do Ki after that car explosion at the end of episode 10  but I saw the preview so I moved on quickly. lol But anyways episodes 9 & 10 surely made me mad AF! Male aren't the only crime offenders in this world, in fact, some of the worst criminals are women too. In this case, it's a female doctor named Ahn Young Sook who uses a ghost doctor to do the surgery for her. I honestly thought that this ghost doctor of hers was still a licensed practitioner but heck he wasn't! What a freak! No wonder she was able to make her schedule full packed with surgery, charity and tv/radio interviews because she's making a dark move behind the eyes of the public. She also takes advantage of the seniors and even book them a surgery even though they were fully fine, like.. WTF doc?!

Lee Je Hoon Transforms Into A Great Monk In Taxi Driver 2 Episodes 7 & 8


This is the sad truth about religion, people are taking advantage of it because the police or the law does not regulate on it. Members of religious organizations have their freedom to choose whether to stay or not, therefore, whatever it is that these religious leaders do with them as long as they have their consents then the police are out of it. It's understandable that these members allow themselves to have faith in whatever they find to be helping them because of hopelessness. With the case in episodes 7 & 8, the members were all bought by false testimonies that they got healed fully from their sickness through their faith with the father Ok Ju Man. Of course, if you are at the verge of dying and saw these kinds of testimonies then I would really want to join in them. However, considering that these people have so much money to offer to Ok Ju Man, I think it's really stupid of them to still remain in their faith. I mean, they could already use those money to make themselves better! I'd understand if they don't possess such wealth but I guess they were already blinded by their faith.

Lee Je Hoon And Ahn Go Eun Are Newlyweds In Taxi Driver 2 Episodes 5 & 6


Episode 5 & 6's villain is really clever among the others from the previous episodes. You just know that some people with high education are also capable of scamming other people. For Pil Seung to own his own company and continuously buying real estate property without getting caught for a long time, he surely knows how to do the strategy. Well, scammers are really called experts for their own fields (whatever it is to deceive people and gain profits from) so they would really look highly educated for some so let's not get deceived. But seriously, we really need to be careful from them.

Lee Je Hoon Helps An Old Lady From Despair In Taxi Driver 2 Episodes 2 & 3

EDIT: POST TITLE
Lee Je Hoon Helps An Old Lady From Despair In Taxi Driver 2 Episodes 3 &4

One thing I hate the most on this planet are those scums deceiving old people and so this episodes 3 & 4' of Taxi Driver 2 gave me so much wrath for the offenders and pain for the old lady. Guys, just imagine your grandmother/father, mother and father getting scammed by these devils, if you love them enough you wouldn't do that to other old people. Ah, it hurts when I see the old lady in this episode wanting nothing but the best for her child so she was so afraid to make a ruckus about what happened to her that she'll even sacrifice her own life just to end her problem in silence. It's kind of really sad though, that her son only visits her seldom that she started to seek love and sympathy for other people as she misses her own son so much. Even though her son has been busy, calling her wouldn't and asking her how she was would've cure less of her loneliness. I mean, for a mother who loves her children dearly, hearing her children's voices would be enough to make her day complete. I think there's also a need of improvement in their relationship. I hope the old lady would open up about what happened to her to her son so there would be an action from the other end. I hope that the son wasn't a scumbag though. lol

Lee Je Hoon And The Rest Of Rainbow Taxi Crew Is Back With Taxi Driver Season 2 | Episode 1 & 2 Quick Recap


Guys! My main man, the love of my life, Kim Do Ki is back!!! I'm quite late with this but I am currently catching up with the episodes of Taxi Driver 2. Yes, folks! You've read that right! The season 2 that we've all been waiting for is currently airing every Friday and Saturday on SBS since February 17. As of writing, I've already watched the first 2 episodes and gosh, I missed the whole rainbow transport crew so much! That retro theme song of the show really makes me nostalgic and happy at the same time because they're finally back. 

Let's talk about the transition first from the last season to now. We all could remember that prosecutor Kang Ha Na became a part of Rainbow Taxi, right? She has spared the whole crew before and became an ally of the team but due to 'schedule' concerns of the actress Esom who plays the role of Kang Ha Na, they've written it as if she was far away studying and all of them weren't gonna see each other again. At least, that's what Jang Sung Chul (the president) was saying during his supposed phone conversation with Ha Na. Basically, she helped Rainbow Taxi to get Kim Do Ki get inside of prison where their current motive was in. She used her position, definitely, on that. I was super excited from the previous season because of this finale that Ha Na joined the rainbow taxi crew only to end up being disappointed that she's nowhere to be found in the 2nd season. It would have been more amazing if the crew gained someone as cool as Ha Na, right? Anyways, there's nothing we can do much about it now. Just glad that they at least 'fairly' exited Esom's character like that.

Taxi Driver Is In Discussion For Season 2!!

OH Em Gee!!! This is like one of the best news in the Kdrama world right now! It was reported today that Taxi Driver's production company, Studio S, has confirmed season 2 and they aim to work on it for next year 2022. As of now they are reaching out to the cast.

However, a representative from SBS said that everything is still in discussion when it comes to the timing and schedule so they corrected that it wasn't confirmed yet.

Lee Je Hoon Expresses Desire For Taxi Driver Season 2


Taxi Driver has come to end and we're going to face a Friday and Saturday this week without a new episode of it. How saddening. I'm sure that there's a lot of us who wanted to have season 2 for this drama, we got an open ending with Kang Ha Na joining the team of Rainbow Taxi so there are so much more to tell. Lee Je Hoon himself shared on one of his interviews after Taxi Driver ended, "A 16 episode miniseries was too short to contain all the stories that we could have told." (May 31,2021 interview with Sports Chosun)

Taxi Driver Main Cast Picks Their Favorite Scenes From The Drama


It hasn't been a week since the drama ended but I'm already feeling the separation anxiety. lol This drama ain't just a mere filler in between 2 seasons of The Penthouse, this is more than just that. Averaging a 12.6% nationwide viewership rating definitely can't be called like that. So to commemorate the ending of this drama I'll create another post about Taxi Driver here in my blog and I think this one is very interesting.

The main actors of Taxi Driver pick their favorite scenes and here are their answers:

Esom Joins Lee Je Hoon As Part Of Rainbow Taxi In Taxi Driver Finale Episode 16


That was such a great finale and I couldn't ask for anything else. I honestly did not expect that it will end like that for the whole Rainbow Taxi crew. I have not read prosecutor Kang Ha Na (Esom) to spare Kim Do Ki (Lee Je Hoon) and the rest of the gang to a point that she risked her position for them. I did sense that she has her own judgement or views that's beyond the current law regarding misdeeds in the society, it was evident since when she was being interviewed during her first service as a prosecutor. She's also built faith in the likes of Do Ki but I really did not see her protecting them since she's still a very passionate prosecutor who believed and abide the law. It was so beautiful, I'd say! I guess some things could still be bent. And now, Kang Ha Na became a part of the Rainbow Taxi, which I thought was already abolished. It's amazing how they write the finale with an open ending like that, it feels like there is a possibility of a second season!

Lee Je Hoon's Final Mission Is To Avenge His Mother's Death In Taxi Driver Episode 15

My speculations were right about Kim Do Ki's mother's serial killer. Oh Chul Young is alive and kicking inside prison and he's a real definition of a psychopath. There are no signs of remorse nor any emotions from this guy, he's just born to kill and he's demon himself. This is why we cannot really blame Rainbow Taxi for setting a mission to avenge the victims of these horrible criminals, the punishment they bestow upon them are what they deserve as well.

Taxi Driver Stars Pyo Ye Jin And Cha Ji Yeon Are Singers!


I am left in awe with the discovery I came across just now. I know that the actors/actresses of Taxi Driver drama are really super talented since it's evident to their acting but some of them were really multi-talented! It's not new to me anymore that the character of our female villain Baek Sung Min portrayed by actress Cha Ji Yeon is a singer but I did not expect actress Pyo Ye Jin who portrays the role of the cool and genius Ahn Go Eun could sing as well!

Lee Je Hoon Is Unstoppable + Esom Saves The Day In Taxi Driver Episode 14


Kim Do Ki putting out his all on the line, even his own life, to seek revenge for the fall of his comrades. We aren't sure yet if Park Jin Eon is really dead yet but this became the drive of Kim Do Ki to risk it all for revenge. At this point he was a one man team in beating Baek Sung Mi's men and the criminals who escaped, he was literally like a superhuman out there! But everyone has their own limits and Do Ki has it too. Thankfully, we have prosecutor Kang Ha Na to trust to in saving him during this time. Oh gosh, I really like their tandem! This is way better tandem than Rainbow Taxi and Baek Sung Mi with regards to catching criminals and keeping them. This is way better and you can have faith in Kang Ha Na as a prosecutor to do the right job in punishing the criminals by law, Kim Do Ki proclaimed his faith in her and we can too. Ah seriously, the way Do Ki and Ha Na built trust in each other throughout this series was so beautiful! This episode manifested that and it feels like I'm already watching the finale episode! It was just so good!

Tragedy Befalls Lee Je Hoon And The Others In Taxi Driver Episode 13


Seems like everything is getting worst now for Kim Do Ki's team as the drama heads towards the ending. No matter how good they are with regards to abducting the criminals and make them suffer, they just weren't able to think ahead of the consequences that might happen in the future, and that 'future' is what they are facing now.

Esom Seeks For Lee Je Hoon's Help In Taxi Driver Episode 12

I have predicted already that soon chairman Baek of Paradise Credit and the whole Rainbow Taxi would fall out have to confront each other. I mean, it's impossible for someone as chairman Baek not knowing what her men are all doing. She was just deceiving chairman Jang Sung Chul of Rainbow in keeping the criminals in exchange for money from the very beginning but in the end she has other motive to sustain her own illegal business which was organ trafficking. That's really awful, isn't it? She's a loan shark and keeping criminals in her den, now that's foolish of Sung Chul to really trust this lady. He should have listened to Kim Do Ki. Now what?!

Esom Was Quickly Placed In Lee Je Hoon's Shoes As Her Partner Got Killed In Taxi Driver Episode 11

I'm quite heartbroken with this episode, I didn't saw the death of investigator Wang! He was such a good partner to prosecutor Kang Ha Na and has a strong faith in the law. The sad background music along with the epilogue, that almost made me cry for real. I was in the verge of crying! lol

Lee Je Hoon Made The Scammers Taste Their Own Medicine In Taxi Driver Episode 10


I am so relieved and satisfied with the result of this case about voice phishing. They made these scammers taste their own medicine with Do Ki earning the trust of the lady boss, trap her and throw her away once her purpose has been served. Seriously, how can we not side on Rainbow Taxi company when they have this great cause in making the victims' interests a top priority? I mean, if it were the police, the money on the scammers' account probably won't be returned to the victims. Like what the police said to one of the victims in the previous episode, they can do something about catching the suspects but the money taken away from them is another case. It's heart breaking to hear that from the ones with authorities in the society. Although I know that the police were only telling the truth but they could at least try the best they could and not just sit all day in their working area to eat donuts and drink coffee. lol I'm stereotyping. kkk
