Lee Je Hoon dishes on his honest thoughts about the sequels to the hit K-dramas "Taxi Driver" and "Signal."

One of the most beloved K-dramas of all time, the 39-year-old actor often stars in crime thriller series where he gets to play anti-hero roles. 

In an interview with the local media outlet, Lee Je Hoon responds to a question about whether he is set to reprise the roles of Kim Do Ki and Park Hae Young. 

Adding to this, he also gave an update regarding the possibility of season 2 of MBC's "Chief Detective 1958."

As mentioned, Lee Je Hoon has headlined a slew of thriller action dramas where he never fails to amaze viewers with his top-notch performance and combat skills. 

According to him, he is "naturally drawn" to roles with righteous characters. 

"I instinctively feel that the stories people are interested in and want to see are about justice and retribution. People in the world desire poetic justice and retribution."

For him, given that "society doesn't always provide that," viewers find enjoyment and satisfaction in these types of dramas.

However, Lee Je Hoon also believes that he should "show more diverse sides" of himself instead of being known for portraying anti-heroes.
