Taxi Driver 3: Will SBS Revenge Drama Address Its Oldest Case?

The hit SBS drama “Taxi Driver” has captivated audiences with its thrilling tales of vigilante justice, but a lingering mystery from the team’s past has left fans speculating about the potential for “Taxi Driver 3.” The foundation of this popular revenge drama is built on an unresolved case, providing a compelling narrative hook for a much-anticipated new season starring Lee JeHoon.

The Unsolved Case Fueling “Taxi Driver 3” Speculation

The central plot point that could drive “Taxi Driver 3” dates back 15 years within the show’s timeline to the team’s very first mission. This inaugural case, involving the murder of an individual named Park Minho, remains the Rainbow Taxi service’s only unsolved failure. This loose end has been a source of underlying tension and provides a powerful motivation for the team to revisit their origins and finally deliver justice.

Jang Daepyo’s Traumatic Past and the Service’s Origin

The weight of this failure falls heavily on Jang Daepyo, the leader of the revenge service, portrayed by actor Kim EuiSung. The origins of the entire operation are deeply connected to a traumatic courtroom event he experienced 15 years ago. This event not only catalyzed the formation of the vigilante group but is also intrinsically linked to the Park Minho case, making the quest for a resolution deeply personal for him. A new season would likely delve deeper into this backstory.

What This Means for the Future of the SBS Drama

These established, unresolved plot points offer a perfect narrative launching pad for “Taxi Driver 3.” Rather than creating a new antagonist from scratch, the series can explore its own history, creating a full-circle moment for its characters. The return of Lee JeHoon as the titular driver would be essential to confront this ghost from the past. The intricate plotting and moral complexities are part of what makes these kinds of captivating revenge K-dramas so popular among viewers.

High Viewership Ratings and Fan Demand for More

Considering the consistent high viewership ratings and the passionate fanbase the “Taxi Driver” series has cultivated, a third season seems almost inevitable. The demand for more stories from the Rainbow Taxi team, combined with a rich, pre-existing storyline to explore, makes a strong case for SBS to officially announce “Taxi Driver 3.” Fans remain hopeful that they will soon see Kim EuiSung and Lee JeHoon reunite to close their oldest case.
