Uh so I just saw this online, and is this a big issue rn in Korea? https://twitter.com/KdramaRoom/status/1384713513529077762

"SBS #TaxiDriver is being poured with severe reviews during #LeeJeHoon's rooftop fight scene. KNetz noticed, the person on that fight scene is obviously a stuntman and felt regret that the actor didnt digest the fight scene. They also criticized the crew for not double checking it."

The LJH fan-page deleted their statement, basically they said that the issue arising from this, and they hope it gets addressed by SBS before it becomes a bigger deal.

This is from this article: https://entertain.naver.com/ranking/read?oid=144&aid=0000731874 : "Model Taxi' is receiving harsh criticism for directing actor Lee Je-hoon's action role in a dishonest manner."

"In the SBS drama "Model Taxi," which aired on the 17th, there is a scene in which Kim Do-ki (played by Lee Je-hoon) overpowered the gangster on the roof of the school to avenge the victim. What attracts attention is Lee Je-hoon and a very different stand-in actor. The actor had long hair, the opposite of Lee Je-hoon's short hair, and his body shape was distinctly different. The production team is said to have broken viewers' immersion by not editing the scene so that it does not feel awkward while directing the scene."

Internet users said, "If this happens, will Lee Je-hoon disappear in every action scene?" "The editing was so insincere." "Oh yeah, I'm surprised that someone else appeared."

"Lee Je-hoon's words are drawing keen attention. Earlier, Lee Je-hoon said at an online production presentation for "Best Taxi" on the 6th, "I haven't done any action-oriented works, so I had a lot to prepare in advance." "I worked with the martial arts team under the guidance of the martial arts director while attending action school before filming," he said. "All I had to do was suffer. Because I have to show realistic action, I tend to not take care of myself. In particular, there are many bare-handed actions, so they are often injured unconsciously. "But when the results come out, it's very rewarding and pleasant."

"Lee Je-hoon and the production team, known to receive more than 100 million won per episode, raised expectations for the "model taxi" action scene and there are growing voices on the scene that they are sorry to use a stand-in actor. Even this has been criticized for awkward editing that interferes with the flow of the drama."

I think that if they named it Mr. Hong, it would be too much emphasis on the ML/KSH. But here, b/c of the name change, it makes it more inclusive and an ensemble piece which for a comedy is important imo! Everyone in this cast has all showed that they aren't just good dramatic actors but also comedic ones too!!

Ah Tomorrow With You reunion (PD/SMA/now him!!). Plus, he's just a great actor who adds a lot to a show!!

Hyena also a SBS Drama didn't have any of those weird issues. Granted Hyena was 1 hr 10 minutes long, and being able to view it on HD added to the show. I wish the editing was way better in the show, as it would elevate this show even more than it is now.

"He is a good actor, but for me has no charisma." Ooh care to elaborate more on that pls?

Oh my I'm loving all this LJH talk. Finally, it seems this show is his first drama as a ML where he's the star of this (and the ratings are fantastic).

Yes his smirk and his soothing voice as well. TMY is one of the few K-drama romances where I felt the chemistry was sizzling/steamy lol :D His skin-ship/kiss scenes with SMA, AHH!!! Oh yeah, those passionate kiss scenes, damn indeed. Thank goodness, this was on Cable, so we were able to get longer kiss scenes/more skin-ship.

His crush on SMA in rl, steeped into the show, and it made it even that much better! Underrated show imo. Their relationship/dynamic together was super hot lol. I don't think LJH ever got himself another co-star/chemistry like that ever again.

I remember there was one scene where he's boxing outside at night, and he got all sweaty lol. He took off his hit quickly, and all I could think was "Damn, boi was hiding a six pack underneath all this time?"

I hope its Gone Girl/Wotm vibes and more like a psychological thriller.

He's low-key hot. Like he's hiding a secret lol.

IA. If it works for the show, why change it? Plus, it doesn't affect the ratings what so either? If they want to, they can move this show to a later time like FoE did. I think the more hardcore/real you can with this, the better for the show. World of the Married also had a 15+ rating for 2 episodes, and went back to their 19+ rating, and didn't affect only helped their show.

"Editing is a bit off sometimes. Some scenes they showed didn't flow well within the episode so you have to adjust yourself on remembering what happened." IA. Its my biggest gripe with the show. I wish it was more streamlined and less frantic. Like in Ep 3, the scene of the mom (which is a moving moment), cuts short and moves on to a fighting scene. Sighs, I wish more K-dramas would do better in this aspect. A case where I wish Netflix got the rights for this show, so that at least the editing/(this network shows have commercial breaks in the middle which could explain the choppiness).

Shin Min Ah and him had amazing chemistry. I think he had a crush on her in rl (acting/aura/everything) as he was a fan of hers. If she wasn't with KWB then, I think he would've asked SMA out lol. (Dude said he used to ask people he liked out first).

He did say he wants to do a romance genre in his 30s, so I can see him do another romance down the line (film or drama). I think its b/c he does a to of different genres, and the shows where he was in that did the best ratings/critical wise were non romance, as in thrillers/action. He's one of the top/respected actors in his generation rn, so perhaps?

He's a cinephile in rl, so I think its not the genre but the script/cast/crew that's his deciding factor for shows.

Aha ;) Sooner, or later the hotness of LJH hits you like a truck of bricks!!

Yep! Netflix hello? Or more like SBS for not selling it to them?! Since Lee Je Hon is doing a mini series w/ them as well. Would've made this show even better imo, as the one thing that's missing from here is choppy editing/flow at times.

Was? More like Is. Check out his neck veins, he definitely bulked up for their role. Dude is sexy AF. He can wear that bomber jacket/fingerless gloves/sunglasses any day.

I was going to name Vincenzo lol. I actually think Taxi Driver/Vincenzo have a lot in common ngl. I think Jeon Yeo Bin being able to be feminine/stunning, while also doing a great job as her prosecutor in the show makes it even better. Like see folks, women can be into fashion/gorgeous/feminine, and that doesn't make them any less interesting/bad at their jobs.

In the webtoon, the FL has an one sided crush on our ML. But it was nothing more than that. Romance isn't the main genre here, so if any maybe slight flirtations or romance?

The actress in rl is gorgeous, check her in the film Samjin's English Company. But unfortunately, she made herself look dowdy ngl. That curly hair and oversized clothes, just no. I wish they went more for femme fatale for the FL, but I guess that's for another female character here.

"Every time he fights it turns me on. I know, TMI but I just had to say it." Well, that's what she said ;)

He's so hot!! He's so toned and fit. You wouldn't expect it, but I've seen some of his ahem pics and damn!! I second Just Friends, that was a good short film. Also Tomorrow With You, his scenes with Shin Min Ah were fire!!
