kk Jan 31 2026 2:48 am Taxi Driver 4 until Taxi Driver 100 please.. Always happy & healthy ya

kk Dec 31 2025 9:13 am I really don’t want Taxi Driver 3 to end. Every day after work, before sleeping, I watch Taxi Driver 3 it has become part of my routine.

Please give us 100 episodes, please please I don’t want this drama to finish.

I feel bad now :((

JudyO U S A Dec 31 2024 9:20 pm First noticed Kim Eui-Song in Mr. Sunshine and his performance was stunning. His acting has also been magnificent in Under the Queen's Umbrella, Black Knight and Check in Hanyang. Will watch Steel Rain and Taxi Driver next.

Nik Mar 01 2024 6:02 pm in W he switched between 2 characters, that was great to watch :)

Ryunami May 21 2023 5:13 am For the first time I like him after Taxi Driver. He's also in Black Knight along with Esom; I am grateful he didnt abandoned Taxi Driver 2 like what Esom did.

Larlarlar Nov 28 2022 8:27 am I’m so in love with Under the Queen’s Umbrella, and I love to hate his role as Chief State Counselor! Apparently he’s the CEO of Rainbow Taxi, but I didn’t recognize him! Amazing actor indeed! My favorite scenes were when he and the queen are arguing in front of everyone, and even though his presence is intimidating, the queen was still thriving! You are one of the reasons why this show is a huge success! ???

Rclbrkr Nov 22 2022 12:54 pm I really hate him in Root Of The Throne. Because of him, Lee Bang Won and Sambong were separated, hahahaa i know it's a movie and the actual story was hundred years ago. Gosh, i really hate Mung Joo character. Then, i saw him in Train To Busan, dear Lord, i was so bad because i was happy seeing Mung Joo and Yong Suk ending. He is really good in portraing every characters. I stand with him in Taxi Driver, and have a mix feeling with him in W:Two Worlds. I know who am i to say this, but i do really hope you can keep up the great work, Sir!!

Mae Jun 29 2022 6:44 am I really hate his character in Train to Busan but I really love his character in Taxi Driver. What a great actor???

Kdrama fan Oct 18 2021 8:03 am His dual roles in W Two Worlds are nicely portrayed. So scary his roles there.

michi May 10 2021 4:34 pm i'm currently watching both taxi driver and mr. sunshine. wow, such a great actor. i first didn't realize that he was in both drama. he portray every role he's in really well

Keith Uy Sep 06 2020 9:51 am I guess we can all feel the love and hate here at the same time! ?? I hate him so much lol in short Great Actor!!!

Suri Apr 27 2020 1:32 am Great actor.I think it’s ironic how his character in “six flying dragons” is against the founding of the Joseon Dynasty which leads to his death and his character in “mr sunshine” works against Joseon. It’s like revenge in the next life. Just a crazy k-drama fan right here ?

Mari Jun 30 2019 3:01 am Wow! Mr Douche from Mr Sunshine! ? he’s a brilliant actor, he defines his characters so well. Expert at playing the silent nasty & cruel parts! ??

Adinsa Jun 02 2019 9:28 am Wow now he make a comeback in Arthdal drama after Mr Sunshine! What a great actor he is!

mash Mar 19 2019 8:20 pm He is a really good actor because I acc hate him so much lol because of all the evil scum characters he plays. Really gets into them.

Nux Jan 15 2019 6:01 am Excellent actor, I just realised how many evil characters I've seen him portray. Aw, he is gooooood or should I say good at being a bad guy?

Brian Dec 31 2018 3:15 am Heh, took me a long time but I just realized he was the same actor who played Han Hyo Joo's father in W, and Professor Cha in Memories of the Alhambra. He has an amazingly sinister glower that clued me into it! Great actor!

SQ2 Sep 09 2018 6:57 pm The evil look in his eyes in Mr Sunshine make me wonder if he's really a bit of a psychopath! XD

Lee Seohwa Jul 12 2018 10:30 am Oh no this evil man from W and Train To Busan never gives up on another drama, he killed couples from Descendants of the Sun from Mr Sunshine OMG WHEN HE STOP ACTING AS EVIL AGAIN LOL!

anta May 23 2018 8:36 am The fact that everyone is despising his character (whichever movie or series it is) is an indication that he really delivered his role impressively. I just finished W and I am totally in awe of this ahjussi. I will look out for your upcoming projects and will watch your past works. Keep it up!

A.R.M.Y Aug 17 2017 5:42 am He is really good in Six Flying Dragons

Maurin Jan 01 2017 11:40 am He's such a great actor ! I just saw him in W and i loved his characters who made me like him as appa and webtoonist but hate him as villain.

Missy Dec 14 2016 11:30 pm This guy is an absolutely AMAZING actor. He was fantastic in W, seriously omfg. Why the f is his rating only 82?! Stop associating the actors with the characters they play...omfg. Love you man, you're fantastic ^^ Excited to see more of you!

Pat Dec 14 2016 7:42 am To be frank, I'm not really into Korean series or movies since I'm more on Japanese culture side. Then I watched Train to Busan since it became a hype and I never thought it would be that awesome. The portrayal of Sir Kim in the film was so great where you will really feel angry to his character. I.was.so fascinated on him, So after finishing Train to Busan I tried looking for his FB page and.Instagram and Followed him. I even sent him a PM to congratulate his great.work and so happy that he replied, I sent him some.photos as.well of Train to Busan cosplayers here.in.Philippines which he was amazed upon seeing it. After Train to.Busan I then started watching W, never though that Korean series takes 1 hr per episode, but it was worth watching since the.series was Anime-ish (remembered Fushigi Yugi on this), and he wowed me in his.dual persona in here(his Award was worth it). Then I watched some other movies where.he.is also part with like The Priest and Running Man(a villain again in here hehe), then just recently just.finished another series titled 6 Flying Dragons(a 2013 series). I do hope he will get more films.and series that will.show his acting skills. More power Appa Kim.

Amyus Nov 11 2016 2:39 pm Most of the comments below reference 'Train to Busan'. What a shame since this excellent actor has an impressive back catalogue of previous work that seems to have been overlooked. So, forget the tired and cliché ridden zombie flick (yawn!) and take a look at Kim Eui-sung's other films for a more rounded impression. He is a solid, consistent and much respected actor who has honed his skills over 20+ years, turning in a variety of good performances and I don't doubt he will continue to do so for many years to come. I have just finished watching 'W', in which Kim Eui-sung's excellent portrayal of the tortured soul that is the 'webtoon' artist Oh Sung-moo was one of the highlights. His Jeckyll & Hyde performance was masterly and forthright with a dash of dark veined humour, which helped to reveal the underlying vulnerability of the damaged creator of the world of 'W'. One of his finer roles, without a doubt.

wulan Oct 19 2016 6:01 am he played great for his role in W. actually i kinda want to see him in train to Busan. but unfortunately, i hate zombies...

betterluck Oct 13 2016 9:19 am WAAHHHH!!!! he's such a great actor that could really make me hate him like crazy both in W and Train to Busan!
