In Taxi Driver 3 Episode 1, Kim Do-gi appears in Japan. The vibe feels cold. He moves fast. He looks like someone who has already made up his mind. Do-gi tracks a gang in Fukuoka. The gang kidnaps women. They sell them in some awful auction room. He sees the truth right away.

Do-gi covers his face with a mask. He takes down men with simple moves. He makes it look easy, but the danger stays real.

The gang panics. One man grabs him and tries to remove the mask. He asks who he is. Do-gi keeps calm and says, “I’m a taxi driver.”
The line feels sharp. It hits like a punch. It sets the tone for Season 3.

His team arrives on motorcycles. Chief Choi, Chief Park, and Ahn Go-eun join in. They support him like a tight squad.
They bring a little spark into the dark setting.

The Case Begins at Home

Before Japan, a girl runs from the yakuza men. She reaches out to Rainbow Taxi. She tries to escape but gets taken back. It feels heavy.

Her student ID drops to the ground. It belongs to Yoon Yi-seo. She is from Bando Girls’ High School. Everyone realizes she has been missing for days.

Her friend finally speaks. She cries hard. Yi-seo’s friend blames herself. She explains everything to Kim Do-gi while pretending to be a teacher. Yi-seo’s friend saw an ad on a webtoon site. She clicked it without thinking much. She shared the link with Yi-seo. That small moment changed everything.

Yi-seo thought she could earn money for her grandma’s eye surgery. Instead, she entered a gambling game that was not a real game. It was a trap. The loan went under a name called “Point Miridream.” She had no idea what she walked into.

The interest was insane. It reached 5,000% per year. The loan sharks added fake fees like travel costs and “hard work fees.” It sounded ridiculous, yet the girl was forced to pay. She could not ask adults for help because she thought she had broken the rules.

The gang told her she could erase the loan if she worked overseas. They pushed her to Japan. She believed she had no choice. She disappeared.

Jang Seong-cheol receives a call from Yi-seo from Japan. The call is shaky. He runs to Japan right away. He finds her ID and realizes time is running fast.

Rainbow Taxi Plans the Rescue

The team gathers. They sit in front of screens. They put pieces together. Ahn Go-eun shares the CCTV clips. She tracks the men who took Yi-seo. She asks why someone would send a girl abroad when she still owes money.

Kim Do-gi thinks something bigger is behind it. Chief Choi guesses it might be more profitable to trade people. Ahn Go-eun studies the company. She says it is linked to Japan. The loan office, games, and funds all came from Japan. Everything smells planned.

She then volunteers to go undercover. Go-eun joins the illegal game. She loses money on purpose. Go-eun acts clueless. She makes loan sharks think she is an easy target.

They bite. They ask her about friends. She acts lonely and says she has none. She says she lives alone, too.
They promise her “a way” to pay back.

She pretends to trust them. She says she will work hard. The sharks fall for it. They ask her to come to the port. This creates a clear trail to Japan.

The Team Heads to Japan

Rainbow Taxi follows the lead. Do-gi, Choi, Park, and Go-eun travel together. The plan is simple: find Yi-seo and end the group. Yi-seo is locked in a cell. She cries and tries to escape.

She tries to run again, but the sea around the place traps her. The yakuza prepare to auction her. They treat her like an item. It feels harsh and cruel. The team knows time is shrinking.

Do-gi disguises himself as a Japanese man. He walks into the den. A giant sumo wrestler steps in front of him. The size difference looks unreal. Do-gi gets pushed back. He gets hit hard. But he keeps going. He lands one elbow to the wrestler’s head. The big man falls. Do-gi takes control.

The yakuza boss hears the news. He feels annoyed. He gets angry. Do-gi taunts him, telling him to call after buying new shoes.

Season 3 Begins with Fire

The first episode gives a loud message. It shows darker crimes. It shows bigger villains. Do-gi does not hesitate for even a second. The whole team returns together. The teamwork shines. Each one brings useful skills. They look stronger than before.

The case moves fast. It sets a huge stage for the season. Do-gi’s bare-hand fighting style feels like a game. It reminds viewers of arcade battles. The episode ends with him standing tall. He looks ready for more trouble. The team stands with him. Season 3 clearly wants higher stakes.

The energy feels raw. The story connects personal pain and big crime scenes. It opens the season with force, and viewers already expect more.
