No chemistry among the Main Leads, didnt like it....
I really like both leads individually, but they didn't match what so ever imo. He looked older here, and she looked her age. I think pairing her with a similar aged actor, and him with someone of a similar age would've worked better. Ah, what could've been.
Perhaps this is the first time in Korean drama, I have seen evil women being punished like a usual evil man...…
Through and through, she was an amazing character. Evil to the core, but had a lot of good characterization as well. Her not succumbing and wanting to go was awesome. Ah, tvN dramas are so effing good!!!!
kinda glad because i'm having the hardest time trusting ceo jang lol!
Same. Too many past roles as villain, sorry dude! I'm sure he's fine in rl!
I think A) The Player ending, they all get away w/ their crimes and still commit them or B) They face the consequences by going to jail, and then waiting after some time, and become a 'family.'
This is already a bit fantasy w/ the revenge aspects, so I think a happy ending where Rainbow Taxi continues under ground, Ha Na joins the squad, and they continue w/ their work. Only thing is, this sets up a possibility for S2 which is just no, thanks.
As for 19+, someone said on Namu Wiki, its changed to all 19+ until Ep 16. And the PD fought SBS to retain its rating, plus its not affecting the ratings of the show too. Lets hope it stays that way, come on 8 more episodes to go!! Almost there!!
Why do people hate Kang Ha Na, she is just doing her job. She is honestly a good character, you're just mad cause…
Probably b/c many people just want to ship him with Go Eun. When there's absolutely no romance nor love line in this show lol. IA. Kang Ha Na (Lol, actress Kang Ha Na says hi!) is a righteous prosecutor yes, but I like Esom a lot in it. I just want to see her join Rainbow Taxi/Do Gi by the end or even better by Ep 12!!! More people on board, the better!!
Everyone is praising him because how he is controlling himself and not killing those degenerates then and there…
It's never a bad time to say LJH is sexy and hot!! For me, its not just the looks, but how in demand and in power he is in this role. When he's in fighting/badass mode, I can tell he wants to beat the sh!t out of them, and that's just satisfying and of course super hot to watch!!
It sucks that he feels a need to try to not be seen as 'boring.' I actually really like how he still remains endearing w/o resorting to being loud/crazy. It's refreshing since many feel the need to do so. He seems like he would be a good listener, and of course his sexy voice is a bonus. Someone said he speaks so classy, and I can tell he's a studious student and an intelligent guy. I think his serious side when it comes to important social issues and films are super attractive. I can tell he'll probably end up with someone intelligent, he just has that vibe lol. I can't believe a girl turned him down b/c he wasn't 'man' enough?! Sis, really?!
Damn, he's way too humble, eh? When a lot of other talents ahem, usually lie/or flub about their education. Yet, despite him going/attending Korea U, he doesn't try to bring it up. He still got into one of the hardest/most prestigious unis in Korea, and in a really hard field too. I guess, maybe b/c he didn't graduate from there since he transferred, he doesn't want to draw too much attention to it? I notice he tends to not speak about his Korea U days, but I respect that he transferred b/c he went w/ his gut instinct when he could've just graduated from there.
I love this LJH talk, aha ;) Traveler is on my watchlist! He's clumsier than I imagined, also he was straight up flirting w/ Ryu non stop haha. He wore like a blue shirt that said Boys at the back lol.
Yes! I saw a vid from his Fashion King days, and he can dance! He was in a Hip-hop dancing club in college, I believe?! I want to see him dance more!!
kinda glad because i'm having the hardest time trusting ceo jang lol!
Part of me wonders is this a mixed signal he's telling us? But that might be the ultimate twist lol, since the actor usually plays villians. I do find it a bit odd that the PD already spoiled that this will end on a happy note. But I guess, that's to appease the fans?! I hope this goes on smoothly w/o much complaints, I mean thank god this is 19+ throughout. 8 more episodes to go, I hope this show goes on a super high note!!
He's getting that fat checks as well as the wide spread acclaim!! This is his first drama as the actual main that…
Yeah, he worked in small shorts/Indies starting from 2006 to now. I say dude has earned his full due, yet there are still some bad seeds (Some who were confused why he was getting paid that much, rme). He's also going more into the field of producing and directing. He seems like a smart guy, and I think its great he's being proactive about what he wants in life.
I like his soft/clumsy vibes in rl. He could be on more variety shows, but I say being on something like Traveler serves him better. He could do a redux of that with Ryu Jun Yeol again! Yeah, I like that Netflix is more Western in terms of promo, where you just see the actors just chill/talk in depth about their work/projects/etc w/o needing to be 'crazy' or 'on.' I look forward to hearing LJH talk about the show/his role/other stuff soon :)
I just read a few of his interviews, and his recent GQ Korea one, and I concur. He may be seen as 'boring' (I disagree, but I guess being loud/crazy is more accepted sighs). He is always contemplative and smart about his choices and what he wants whether it works or not. Brainy is the new Sexy!!
Seriously, for him to get accepted into one of the best/hardest university in Korea, as well as a hard major like that, shows me dude is low-key a genius. But he doesn't flaunt it, when he can be like "Yeah I went to Korea U and etc."
Oh wow, I'm so happy he spoke up for Lee Je Hoon! I expected them to stay silent about it till the end at this…
Ikr? I'm so relieved honestly. LJH and the rest of the cast don't deserve any slander!! Esp. since they had a minor cast hiccup, and now filming the last 2 episodes! Hope nothing goes awry, and no one gets hurt!! Seems like a lot of directors like LJH for his hard work/determination, to see him stick up for him :) !!
Yep, that as well. This is why they say PDs have a lot of power in dramas, and it shows here, as this guy took a stance on keeping it 19+. More power to him, and makes me a fan as a person to see him stick up for the cast/drama. Love that he took the blame on himself for the stuntman thing, ah I bet LJH was touched.
He's getting that fat checks as well as the wide spread acclaim!! This is his first drama as the actual main that…
Yeah esp. if you go into his past, you can see why he was so overtly emotional. But I felt like looking back, he was the audience's vessel, and if I were him in that scenario, I would've acted the same.
There was this great article that talked about his career:
"It has been almost five years since Lee Je-hoon starred in the hit thriller Signal. Since then, the fierce actor has tried his hand at two romances: Tomorrow With You (2017) and Where Stars Land (2018), but most K-drama fans still remember him as the resilient and determined criminal profiler Park Hae-young. It’s not Lee’s fault that Signal was just that iconic, but despite being a fan of the actor, I was starting to think that he might never surpass that."
"All this changed when promos of his upcoming show Taxi Driver were released. Clad in head-to-toe in black, Lee Je-hoon is at his brooding best as the vigilante taxi driver working for a company that offers revenge services to its clients. As I watched him whizz past in his model taxi, doing car stunts while burning with rage at the injustice around him, it finally began to look like Lee Je-hoon is ready to carve out a whole new identity for himself."
"It seems that Lee has honed playing innately good characters that end up being victimized by the law into an art. The actor also reveals that he makes a point to take on unfamiliar and challenging roles because that’s the only way he knows to make acting fun."
" It is perhaps this determination to not give up in face of hardships and his courage in the face of challenges that most of his characters have in common—from Park Yeol of the film Anarchist from Colony (2017) to Park Hae-yeol, and finally, Kim Do-gi."
Yeah, thank goodness tvN selected these three. All equally amazing, and esp. for LJH to work w/ some a group of amazing actors/veterans must've been such a work-shop for him to hone his skills.
Yeah, Bleak Night was his breakthrough role. And he won a lot of Best New Actor prizes from it. Yeah, he and Kim Myung Min both share that level of intensity that serves them well. I think LJH will forge out an interesting career, just hope he doesn't sell out and do something fluffy/commercial (Where Stars Land like, sorry! or even Collectors, again sorry!). Would love to see him work w/ top directors like Bong Joon Ho (Who praised Bleak Night, so when?), Park Chan Wook, Lee Chang Dong, Na Hong Jin, and also international auteurs like Hirokazu Koreeda.
What excites me is for Netflix original projects, they tend to do a good amount of interviews/press for them. So I hope that we'll at least be able to get some one/one interview w/ him!!
He's getting that fat checks as well as the wide spread acclaim!! This is his first drama as the actual main that…
Hey! Np! He's amazing right?! Well you weren't in the minority when it comes to that lol. But I think Je Hoon still did a great job, he was def. one of the emotional beats of the show, and the audience's moral compass. He felt like he was representing our emotions.
Someone said back in like 2013 on a podcast, that his acting in Bleak Night showed a lot of promise for his career. And they put him on the same leagues as Kim Myung-min and someone else I'm forgetting, as in actors who've major presence on-screen.
I wish him well, I know he just left his long term agency, so I hope he forges his own path (be it acting or producing or directing! Which he's going to do after).
Me watching Ep 3/4, when Go Eun puts Do Gi into the math department, and how he squirmed at that idea. Meanwhile, in real life, Lee Je Hoon was an actual math tutor! And he got accepted and for 2 years went to the most prestigious university in Korea (Korea University) as a Bio-tech major!! I mean, talk about intelligent!!!
I think A) The Player ending, they all get away w/ their crimes and still commit them or B) They face the consequences by going to jail, and then waiting after some time, and become a 'family.'
