A new duo could soon be forming on the small screen. According to several industry sources, Cha Tae-hyun and Lee Yeon-hee are currently in talks to join the cast of the upcoming drama Private Taxi (working title).
September 7, Cha Tae-hyun's agency, Basecamp Company (which he recently founded with his friend and colleague Zo In Sung) confirmed the news: "Cha Tae Hyun has indeed received a proposal for this project and is currently studying it." As for Lee Yeon-hee, no official statement has yet been made.
A cab like no other
Adapted from the webtoon by Lee Mose, Private Taxi follows the story of a rather unusual driver. Unlike ordinary cabs, he only accepts regular customers who have booked their journey in advance. More than just a driver, he becomes a witness to their lives: he plays the songs they want to hear and collects the stories they choose to share for the duration of a journey.
With this original concept, the series promises an intimate atmosphere, where each episode could explore new emotions, between fleeting confidences and memorable encounters.
A project scheduled for 2026
If the negotiations are successful, this will be an opportunity for Cha Tae-hyunan actor appreciated for his warmth and humour, and Lee Yeonheeknown for her sensitivity and elegance, to form an unprecedented on-screen duo.
The drama is scheduled to air on first half of 2026. While we await official casting confirmation, expectations are already running high for this atypical project, which could appeal to fans of warm, human stories.
