Viewers can't get enough of "Taxi Driver" lead stars Lee Je Hoon and Pyo Ye Jin's chemistry, despite the hit SBS series airing its finale.

In an interview with local media outlets, Lee Je Hoon became honest and spoke out on his reaction to Pyo Ye Jin's recent statement.
"I now recognize the fact that I am Pyo Ye Jin's ideal type," he joked, expressing his gratitude towards the co-star but admitted that he "didn't know what to do."
When asked about their working relationship on set, the top star shared that when filming as Kim Do Gi, he usually had a serious atmosphere, but after his scenes, he would joke around with the cast, including Pyo Ye Jin.
"I filmed season 2 well and had fun," he said, adding, "It's so much fun when we're together," referring to the chemistry with the Rainbow Taxi team.
To recall, Pyo Ye Jin appeared as a guest on the SBS talk show "My Little Old Boy," where the host recalled her previous interview where she named Lee Je Hoon as her ideal type.
However, the actress said that things have changed and that she feels embarrassed by her confession.
"I said he was my ideal type a long time ago when I saw the movie 'Architecture 101'," she said, referring to the actor's 2012 movie.

Interestingly, the "My Little Old Boy" host made the actress choose with who she wants to work with in the future between "Our Blooming Youth" co-star Park Hyung Sik and Lee Je Hoon. The actress chose the latter and shared that they've become close because of "Taxi Driver."
Who is Lee Je Hoon's Ideal Type?
The actor may be tight-lipped about his relationship, but he was vocal about the qualities that he wants in his future partner. In an interview back in 2016, Lee Je Hoon revealed his ideal type and why he had been single for a long time.
As obtained by a media outlet, he said that he is focused on his career since he made his debut at a later age.
"After the military service, I wanted to show a good, refreshed side of me (to the viewers). I wanted to do well. And naturally, dating was put on the back burner," he explained.
Now that he is an in-demand star, Lee Je Hoon said that he "should start dating."
When asked about his ideal type, the actor said that he wants to have someone with whom he will have good conversation and who will "talk a lot about many things, such as personal interests." He also hopes that the person would like movies and music as much as he does, since these are his interests.
