🚖 Overview

The Rainbow Taxi is back — and its engine runs darker than ever.
Taxi Driver: Season 3 marks a bold evolution of the acclaimed revenge series, deepening its exploration of morality, corruption, and the gray line between justice and vengeance.

Starring Lee Je-hoon in his career-defining role as Kim Do-gi, this season transforms the franchise into a global crime epic — one that asks whether justice pursued outside the law can ever remain pure.

🔥 Story

After dismantling multiple criminal networks and exposing corruption at the highest levels, Kim Do-gi has become both legend and target. Operating from the shadows, he continues his clandestine crusade against injustice — but the world around him is changing.

A new enemy emerges: “The Syndicate,” a polished, global organization that launders its crimes through charity foundations, legal systems, and media influence. Their reach is invisible. Their victims? The very people Do-gi swore to protect.

Meanwhile, Jang Sung-chul (Kim Eui-sung) struggles with his own demons as secrets from his past begin to threaten the Rainbow team’s unity. Ahn Go-eun (Pyo Ye-jin), now a master hacker with scars of her own, finds herself caught in a cyber war against digital corruption that could cost her everything.

When a mission goes wrong and an innocent life is lost, the team begins to fracture — forcing Do-gi to face the question he’s avoided since the beginning:

“Are we delivering justice… or just driving in circles of revenge?”

💥 Tone & Style

Season 3 takes Taxi Driver into cinematic territory — a hybrid of emotional character drama and sleek neo-noir action.

🎬 Expect:
⚡ Bigger scope — international cases, political conspiracies, and multi-country chases.
🕶️ Stylized direction — neon lights against rain-soaked streets, silent tension before explosive payback.
💔 Emotional storytelling — revenge with conscience, heroism with consequence.
💻 Cyber warfare & tech espionage — justice in the age of surveillance.

Each episode is a moral ride — equal parts adrenaline and anguish — where the “Rainbow Taxi” becomes not just a vehicle of vengeance, but of truth.

🎭 Characters

Kim Do-gi (Lee Je-hoon)
Haunted, sharper, and more unpredictable than ever. Do-gi walks the line between justice and obsession, embodying both savior and sinner. His calm intensity conceals a storm that could finally consume him.

The team’s moral compass begins to crack. His mysterious connection to The Syndicate puts the entire Rainbow operation at risk — and his loyalty to Do-gi will be tested in devastating ways.

Ahn Go-eun (Pyo Ye-jin)
More than the team’s tech genius — she becomes its conscience. When her digital war draws real blood, her emotional arc becomes one of redemption and resilience.

Guest stars (rumored):

• Lee Dong-hwi as a whistleblower turned fugitive.

• Han So-hee as an investigative journalist entangled with both Do-gi and the enemy.
