Lee Je-hoon Provokes Villains as the New Character 'Tazza Dogi' in 'Taxi Driver 3'!

Lee Je-hoon dominates the story in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 〈Taxi Driver 3〉 with Kim Do-gi's sharp insight and charismatic execution, revealing not only the 'Park Min-ho Missing Murder Case' but also the volleyball match-fixing incident, raising the tension of the drama to its peak. In the 6th episode, Do-gi transforms into the new character 'Tazza Dogi' as he embarks on a serious pursuit of the truth behind the case of Park Dong-soo (played by Kim Gi-cheon), taking the lead in the flow of the story with bold yet cunning strategies.

As the relationships of those involved in the 15-year-old death case of Park Min-ho (played by Lee Do-han) are revealed, even more shocking misdeeds come to light, delivering a jolt to the audience. While chasing clues related to the death of Park Min-ho, Do-gi senses a suspicious connection between Im Dong-hyun (played by Moon Soo-young) and Jo Seong-wook (played by Shin Joo-hwan), instinctively realizing they might be key figures in the past incident. The Rainbow Transportation team weighs the possibility that Jo Seong-wook, who has long been the coach of the university volleyball team, could be an accomplice hidden in the CCTV blind spot of the incident 15 years ago. The first step of the operation led by Do-gi is to approach the gambling-addicted Im Dong-hyun. During the infiltration into a gambling den disguised as a funeral home, Do-gi almost faces an unexpected crisis due to a hidden camera but smoothly navigates through it, showcasing his natural and skillful acting. Subsequently, Do-gi successfully participates in the gambling scene disguised as a Tazza, while Choi Joo-im (played by Jang Hyuk-jin) transforms into a gambling kingpin.

In this episode, Lee Je-hoon effectively portrays the unique smartness of Kim Do-gi, who shakes the opponent's psychology with cold judgment and strategic thinking, while also demonstrating a clever use of his character's duality when infiltrating the villains. He delivers high-level internal acting that pressures the opponent's psychology instead of excessive anger during the process of extracting the villains' methods, and skillfully executes impactful action scenes when subduing the evildoers, allowing viewers to once again feel the reason for their enthusiasm for 〈Taxi Driver〉 Kim Do-gi.

The new character 'Tazza Dogi' in this episode, unlike the main character Kim Do-gi, leads the atmosphere with reckless actions and a relaxed yet condescending expression and tone, showcasing an overwhelming presence even without flashy makeup, driving the tension of the drama. In a scene where he infiltrates a secret space in a gym to witness the reality of match-fixing, he conveys a strong sense of anger with sharp eyes and expressions, leaving a strong impact as a dramatic turning point. In this way, Lee Je-hoon expands both the fun and tension of the drama through his acting that clearly contrasts the characteristics of the main and sub characters, taking control of the story.
