SEOUL, Mar. 20 (Yonhap) -- Lee Je-hoon's refreshing revenge series "Taxi Driver 2" has surpassed 16% of viewership.
According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings research company on the 19th, the 8th episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Taxi Driver 2," which aired at 10 p.m. the previous day, was 16.0%. It's the highest viewer rating of the drama.
On the previous day's broadcast, the process of collapsing the pseudo-religious group Pure White, which is committing all kinds of inhuman evil deeds using the faith of believers, has been unfolded.
Dogi (Lee Je-hoon), disguised as a shaman, instilled the fear of death in Ok Joo-man (Ahn Sang-woo), a pseudo-religious leader, and made Ok Joo-man believe in him.
During the worship time when the believers gathered, Ok Joo-man’s clothes and murals were dyed black to panic him, and the scene of relentless beating him under the guise of exorcism turned the anger toward the pseudo-religious leader into pleasure. Ok Joo-man, who was driven to the edge, cried, "I'm scared," supporting Dogi like a god without making any judgment on the situation.
"Taxi Driver 2" is a private revenge act in which Lee Je-hoon takes revenge without hesitation on behalf of the unjust victims, convicting criminals who cannot be punished by the law and giving catharsis.
The ratings of "Taxi Driver 2" which started with 12.1% in the first episode rose to 14.7% in the fifth episode, and topped the weekend drama with 16% in the eighth episode.
The ratings of JTBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Divorce Attorney Shin," starring Cho Seung-woo, which aired the previous day, were 5.7%, tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Pandora: Beneath the Paradise" was 3.9%, and MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Kokdu: Season of Deity" was 1.3%.
