Lee Je-hoon Triumphs in Final Showdown on 'Taxi Driver 3'

Lee Je-hoon successfully completes his mission of revenge by taking down Kim Sung-kyu and Lee Kyung-young.

On the May 3rd episode of SBS's 'Taxi Driver 3' (directed by Kang Bo-seung, written by Oh Sang-ho), the Rainbow Dark Heroes, led by Kim Do-gi (played by Lee Je-hoon), were seen taking down the villains.

In this episode, the Rainbow Dark Heroes dismantled the Samheungdo organization, which had turned an entire island into a hub for illegal gambling and voice phishing operations. The mastermind behind Samheungdo, Go Sung-hyuk (played by Kim Sung-kyu), had previously recruited criminals he had prosecuted as a special prosecutor, building a massive crime cartel. Former con artist Seo Hwang (played by Lee Kyung-young), Ye Ye-rim (played by Lee Chae-won), corrupt police officer Kim Kyung-jang (played by Ji Dae-han), and overseas mercenary Choi Cheol-woong (played by Yoo Ji-wang) were revealed to have collaborated with Go Sung-hyuk to commit crimes while evading the law.

In response, Kim Do-gi and the Rainbow Taxi team devised a meticulous plan to neutralize their crime servers. Kim Do-gi, Jang Sung-chul (played by Kim Eui-sung), Ahn Go-eun (played by Pyo Ye-jin), Choi Joo-im (played by Jang Hyuk-jin), and Park Joo-im (played by Bae Yoo-ram) infiltrated the organization by posing as clients. Kim Do-gi and Jang Sung-chul staged a fake assassination request to create internal discord, diverting the attention of Go Sung-hyuk and Seo Hwang. Meanwhile, Choi Joo-im and Park Joo-im engaged Ye Ye-rim in a gambling game to buy time, allowing Ahn Go-eun to infiltrate Samheungsa, hack the crime server, and destroy the franchise information.

When their cover was blown, Go Sung-hyuk called Kim Do-gi, angrily asking, "What do you gain from this?" Kim Do-gi retorted by mentioning the victims, including a mother searching for baby supplies and a sick father breaking a piggy bank, saying, "I'm very close to those people." Go Sung-hyuk sounded the alarm across the island, summoning his armed henchmen to corner Kim Do-gi. However, Kim Do-gi activated a high-voltage discharge function pre-installed by Park Joo-im, subduing the villains and escaping death.

Desperately fleeing, Go Sung-hyuk attempted to escape the island by boat, but Kim Do-gi pursued him to the end, shooting the boat's engine and causing it to explode, ultimately taking down Go Sung-hyuk. Following the incident, reporter Bong Gi-ja (played by Jang Sung-won) exposed the crimes of those who exploited the law, revealing the truth to the world. With justice served, the Rainbow Taxi team promised a celebratory Korean beef dinner, creating a warm atmosphere. Meanwhile, Kim Do-gi drove a taxi on the brink of being scrapped, concluding the long journey with the words, "5283 service ends here."
