The production company Big In Square, StudioFlow, officially announced on the 15th that it will cast actors Cha Tae-hyun, Lee Jae-in, Im Se-mi, Hyun Bong-sik, Lee Yeon-hee, Kim Do-hyun, Mimi, Joo Jong-hyuk, Ye Ji-won, Ahn Ji-ho, Lim Ha-ryong, and Jesus Jung (in order of name episodes) as an eight-part mid-form season drama.
"Personal Taxi" (played by Kim Joon-mo, Min Dong-hyun, directed by Jeon Chang-geun) is a human healing music drama in which ordinary but special stories of customers who sympathize with and comfort everyone with the background of suspicious taxis that only carry reservations.
Director Jeon Chang-geun, who has shown detailed views of humans and dense production in various genres such as 'God of Work', 'Double Gap Pocha', 'Working City', 'What's Wrong with Family', has set a megaton to increase trust. In addition, Park Sung-il and Hansam, who have expressed the emotions, narratives, and emotions of the times beyond simple background music such as 'I was completely deceived', 'Itaewon Class', 'Itaewon Class', 'My Mister', 'Misaeng', and 'Signal', will present the essence of a music drama that is also enjoyable. On top of that, a large number of top actors and new actors, who combine acting skills and star quality across generations, are cast to draw attention.
First of all, Cha Tae-hyun, an actor and multi-tainer who everyone loves, was the first to be listed in the casting lineup. Having captivated global viewers with "Moving" and imprinted his name on the public with his unique pleasantness and warm humanity on various entertainment programs, he returns to his main job two years after "Moving" to present a new look at the CRT. He will lead the entire series with a warm and delicate emotional performance, and will be behind the wheel of a special taxi that is the most personal and can be touched by everyone.
In addition, Lee Jae-in, who clearly showed his presence as a next-generation star and actor to the public by exchanging films and dramas through `Unknown Seoul' and 'High Five', and `Tri: We Become a Miracle', 'He Is a Black Salt Dragon' and 'Dolpung', and Im Semi, who shows deep acting skills in each film, will also board a taxi.
From the `Nine Puzzle' to the `Officers', Hyun Bong-sik, who is at the center of the hottest topic these days, and Lee Yeon-hee, who returned to the CRT after a long time since she showed solid acting skills through the theater stage earlier this year, are also on the casting lineup, raising expectations for their performances.
Kim Do-hyun, who is popularly loved for showing various character variations in various works such as 'The youngest son of a beehive', 'Queen of Tears' and 'Family x Melo', will also open a taxi door. In addition, Mimi, the top idol and versatile all-around entertainer, is trying to act as a cathode for the first time, and I wonder what he will show as an actor.
Joo Jong-hyuk, who proudly entered the ranks of popular actors with his strong calligraphy skills such as `Polaris',"Confidence Man KR', and"Strange Lawyer Woo Young-woo", and Ye Ji-won, an irreplaceable actor with by far the most unrivaled characters and aura in Chungmuro, have been named in the casting lineup. In addition, new actor Ahn Ji-ho, who has recently attracted attention with his solid acting skills, which are not new to him, is also joining.
Actor Lim Ha-ryong, who has built a unique area through various works and now does not need any modifiers, and Seo Jae-jung, who is showing the most vigorous and amazing activities regardless of genre and platform such as movies, dramas, and plays, are cast, adding to the weight of the work.
'Personal Taxi' signed a joint production contract with Japanese broadcaster Fuji TV and plans to expand into remakes or exports in global markets such as Asia, North America, and Europe, starting with Korea. The Korea Creative Content Agency will also be selected for the "2025 OTT Specialized Content Production Support (IP Secured)" project to secure a stable production environment, while Studio Flow, which produced Netflix 'In the Forest Where There Is No One' and 'In Your Time', will jointly participate in the production to increase the completeness of the work. Last year, the production company Big In Square produced the Cinema Anthology Project The Killers, which was interpreted by six directors of Hemingway's short stories, and was invited to the Busan International Film Festival, New York Asian Film Festival, Fantasia Film Festival, and Chesse Film Festival.
Meanwhile, the drama 'Personal Taxi', which has emerged as an expected film in 2026 by completing the golden casting lineup, is scheduled to start filming in September.
