Black Sun Gate Lee Je-hoon breaks his own highest viewership rating
'Model Taxi 2' continued its run at the box office without any breaks, breaking its own highest viewer ratings again with a highest viewer rating of 21.6%, 19.4% in the metropolitan area, 18.3% nationwide, and 7.5% in 2049.
In episode 12 of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Model Taxi 2' (written by Oh Sang-ho, directed by Ethan), which aired at 10 pm on the 1st, Kim Do-gi (played by Lee Je-hoon) investigates the true nature of the club 'Black Sun', which is suspected of being related to On Ha-jun (played by Shin Jae-ha). In order to closely investigate, he was depicted working undercover as a guard and witnessing ugly crimes hidden behind flashy lights.
Dogi, who was taken to the police station, was falsely accused of sexual harassment by a club employee by corrupt police in collusion with Black Sun and was locked up in a detention center. At this time, an unexpected person appeared and helped with Do-gi's clean-up. He was Kim Yong-min (played by Baek Soo-jang), a reporter whom Do-gi helped earlier on the Black Sun rooftop. Reporter Kim, who was filming the scene in which Dogi was assaulted by the Black Sun guard (played by Lee Dal), captured the late arrival to work of the club employee who falsely accused Dogi and presented it as evidence to prove his innocence. And Reporter Kim advised Do-gi, "I don't know what the purpose is, but don't go near Black Sun anymore. Black Sun is not a place where common sense applies," further heightening curiosity about the reality.
In fact, the actual president of Black Sun was Park Hyeon-jo, an executive of the Gold Society and a high-ranking police officer. However, the Model Taxi team, who did not know this, decided to infiltrate once again to find out the identity of the Black Sun CEO, who was completely hidden. Dogi planned a different route instead of visiting the club as a guest with limited access to the entrance area. After kidnapping Black Sun guards one after another, creating a hole in the guard manpower, they infiltrated the human resources office. And in order to attract the attention of Black Sun manager Yoo Moon-hyeon (Moon Jae-won), who came to the human resources office to recruit guards, he intentionally caused bloodshed(?) and showed off his fantastic fighting skills. Moreover, he was reborn as a Black Sun-friendly talent by carrying an unprecedented assault record, which made people laugh.
Dogi, who started guard duty, was nominated by a VIP guest and given the so-called 'marking' task. The guard leader explained to Dogi that instead of marking guests, his job was to guard liquor bottles with the same number as the guard number assigned to Dogi. Expensive alcohol is the owner of pottery. Accordingly, Do-gi, who entered the VIP room to carry out work, stuck out his tongue at the reality of Black Sun, which is filled with the luxury and pleasure of the wealthy. At this time, Ha-jun On was shown entering Black Sun after receiving a call from a VIP guest, and tension soared as Do-gi and Ha-jun On were at risk of encountering each other. However, a senior guard who was jealous of Do-gi, who had to deal with VIP guests as a new guard, called Do-gi out, intercepted his work, and entered the VIP room instead, so Do-gi was able to avoid On Ha-jun finding out that he was alive.
Meanwhile, Dogi took on another task called ‘delivery’ instead of the senior guard. A ‘delivery’ job where you take a female customer who is so drunk that she can’t control herself somewhere. Dogi grabbed the steering wheel without knowing what was going on, and the rest of the guards naturally put the woman in the back seat of the car as if it was something that happened all the time. At this time, reporter Kim's car appeared, trying to interfere with Do-gi, who was driving. Reporter Kim intentionally hit Dogi's car, and Dogi was able to narrowly avoid the dangerous situation after several collisions. Eventually, the two cars stopped on the shoulder of the road, and Reporter Kim took advantage of the rest of the guards' unconsciousness to urge Dogi, saying, "We need to take the woman to the hospital quickly." And drugs were detected in the body of the woman who was taken to the hospital. Kim Yong-min explains that if he had taken the woman to her destination, she would have been treated badly by men she did not know who she was. At this time, the police were dispatched after receiving a report from the hospital, and problematic detectives in collusion with Black Sun appeared and arrested the victim as a drug offender and covered up the incident again, raising the anger index of viewers.
In order to find out Reporter Kim's intentions for persistently holding on to Black Sun, Dogi visited Reporter Kim's house and heard his story. A year ago, Reporter Kim handed over information about Black Sun's drug distribution to Detective Choi (played by In-seop Jang) of the drug squad, with whom he was close. Reporter Kim, who had promised to publish an article after receiving the results of Detective Choi's investigation, received an unexpected phone call from Detective Choi one day. Detective Choi left a message to reporter Kim, "You were right. I don't know what to do. The only person I can trust right now is you. I will check one more thing and then go to you." Shortly after that, Detective Choi was found dead. . Detective Choi's death was concluded as a suicide, and reporter Kim, who had doubts about this, requested a reinvestigation, but it was not accepted. Furthermore, he was falsely accused and expelled from the media due to Black Sun's manipulation and conspiracy. After hearing Reporter Kim's sad confession that he was ready to die to re-investigate Detective Choi's case, Dogi left the contact information for the Rainbow Model Taxi at Reporter Kim's house and then turned around.
A situation in which reporter Kim's request is intertwined with the reality that the Rainbow Model Taxi team is pursuing. However, as Do-gi was brought to the brink of death by On Ha-jun, it was also a burdensome situation to take revenge on the front line. However, since people in need of help are the reason the Rainbow Model Taxi Team exists, the Rainbow Model Taxi Team took the risk and accepted Reporter Kim's request, finding the connection between Black Sun and On Ha-Jun, while at the same time finding the link between Black Sun and On Ha-Jun. The journey began to seek revenge on Detective Choi, giving a thrilling and thrilling thrill. Accordingly, in a situation where a confrontation with all-time villains is expected, including Black Sun, a den of all kinds of crimes, the public power that protects them, and even the black money society whose size is unknown, Dogi and the model taxi team will rise and fall. Attention is being paid to whether or not it will succeed in providing true education for ‘Black Sun’, which is a ghost story itself.
‘Model Taxi 2’ airs every Friday and Saturday at 10 PM.
