Lee Je-Hoon and How He Chameleons in the Korean Drama “Taxi Driver”
SBS’s drama series Taxi Driver starring Lee Je-Hoon is certainly big in its hometown of South Korea.

As a viewer of the drama, it is not a wonder why this story caught so much viewership. It not only shows the social ills of South Korea as reflected in the lives of the abused and exploited but also it created this dark hero that extracts vengeance on behalf of those who suffered injustice.
