Lee Je Hoon's 'Taxi Driver 2' Becomes Highest-Selling SBS Drama This 2023

He played the role of Kim Do Ki in "Taxi Driver 2," which aired from February 17 to April 15.

In particular, he got off to a good start in the series. The final episode reached 25.6 percent viewership, recording the highest viewership rating for a mini-series aired in 2023.

It has been said that "Taxi Driver 2" is considered the highest-selling drama of the year.

It perfectly captured not only the viewer ratings but also the topicality. Right after season 2 concluded, the production announced that season 3 was confirmed.

There's no doubt that Lee Je Hoon, who captivated the audience and earned popularity with his excellent acting, is a strong candidate for Daesang for the SBS Drama Awards.

Kim Tae Ri's Impressive Performance in 'Revenant'

Kim Tae Ri, who made a brilliant character transformation in her drama "Revenant," is also mentioned as another strong candidate.

She portrayed the role of Gu San Yeong, who was possessed by an evil spirit and put on unconventional acting throughout the series. Leading up to the finale episode, the actress' performance became more intense. She expressed an eerie feeling that even viewers were impressed.

Despite its horror genre, "Revenant" succeeded in maintaining double-digit ratings until the finale. There's also interest in whether Kim Tae Ri will be able to win the Daesang based on the opinion that SBS gives surprise awards compared to other broadcasting stations.

Han Suk Kyu Impacts Success of 'Dr. Romantic 3'

Han Suk Kyu, who made another impactful performance in "Dr. Romantic 3," is also a candidate to win the big title.

He already won the Daesang for "Dr. Romantic" Season 1 in 2016. Since season 3 also concluded with a high viewership rating, there's a possibility that Han Suk Kyu will receive recognition of his contribution to the success of the drama.
