He’s also incredibly dedicated, having gone to action school so he could do the stunts in Taxi Driver himself!
The series also features award-winning veteran actor Kim Eui Sung reprising his role as Rainbow Taxi leader Jang Sung-cheol, along with Pyo Ye Jin as Ahn Go-eun, the IT specialist and hacker of the team.
Delivering comical relief are engineering duo Kyung-goo and Jin-eon, played by Jang Hyuk Jin and Bae Yoo Ram Choi respectively. Shin Jae Ha joins the cast as On Ha-joon, the newest taxi driver on the team.

Like its first season, season 2 is packed with intense action sequences, car chases, and fight scenes that’ll keep you on the edge of your seats. Taxi Driver 2 also welcomes martial arts director Yoon Dae-won, who’s previously worked on acclaimed films Hostage and Escape from Mogadishu.
