“Taxi Driver” Season 3 (모범택시 시즌3) Korean Drama 2025
Kim Do-gi and the Rainbow Taxi team are back on SBS with new heart-pounding episodes. The new season promises higher stakes, deeper bonds, and sharper revenge. There are new villains to face and deeper connections among the team. It’s all about resilience and refusing to give up, no matter the odds.
Synopsis: A Darker Ride for Rainbow Taxi
“Taxi Driver” Season 3 continues the story of Rainbow Taxi, a secret team that offers “revenge calls” to people failed by the law. Kim Do-gi, a former special forces captain, once again becomes the driver who does what the courts cannot. He hunts abusers, scammers, and powerful criminals so victims can finally breathe.
Just like the first two seasons, the new chapter is inspired by the webtoon “Deluxe Taxi.” It also draws from real crime cases in Korea. But in Season 3, the stories get more intense and complicated. We see challenging issues like human trafficking, school bullying, online exploitation, and secret power struggles. It feels like you’re watching the news, just with a different format.
The vibe still has that dark humor and big action. But it really hits differently now. You can feel the heartache lurking beneath the jokes.
The team’s decisions feel bolder this time around, as they take greater risks. Each choice seems capable of truly altering the course of events. This palpable tension hangs over the entire story, enhancing its intensity.
Cast Lineup & Characters
Lee Je-hoon plays Kim Do-gi, a character who is calm and very loyal. His personality is shaped by deep grief. At the press conference, he expressed his commitment to giving his all in this season’s filming. With a smile, he joked that if he were to win another Grand Prize after his Daesang for Season 2, he would gladly accept it.
Kim Eui-sung is back as Jang Sung-chul, the head of Rainbow Taxi and the Blue Bird Foundation.
Pyo Ye-jin returns as hacker Ahn Go-eun. She has even called Taxi Driver her “proudest work” as an actor, which shows how strongly she connects with the series and its message.
Mechanic duo Jang Hyuk-jin (Choi Kyung-goo) and Bae Yoo-ram (Park Jin-eon) again bring comic relief and heart. Teasers also hint at a stronger focus on their past and friendship.
One big surprise is Edan Lui from the Hong Kong boy group MIRROR. He is making his Korean drama debut. Reports say he plays a character who forms an “unpredictable alliance” with Kim Do-gi. That adds a pan-Asian twist and feels like a direct invitation to fans across Asia.
Production & Streaming: Built for a Global Ride
Season 3 is directed by Kang Bo-seung, who worked on earlier seasons before stepping up as the main director. The series still grows from the world created by writer Oh Sang-ho. It is produced by Studio S, with SBS as the home network.
“Taxi Driver” is not just popular; it is well-known. In 2023, “Taxi Driver 2” reached about a 21 percent nationwide rating in Korea. It became one of the highest-rated mini-series results that year and stood out as a top-rated revenge drama.
For Season 3, regional streamer ViIU has acquired global rights outside Korea and mainland China. VIU is branding the show as a Viu Original in many markets. Its leaders describe their goal as “authentic storytelling that crosses borders.” “Taxi Driver 3” fits that goal very well.
