Jang Na-ra Debuts as Villain in 'Taxi Driver 3', Promises Chilling Transformation
Actress Jang Na-ra is set to captivate audiences as the fourth villain in SBS's hit drama 'Taxi Driver 3'.
The production team for 'Taxi Driver 3' unveiled a special poster for Jang Na-ra on the 15th, introducing her character, Kang Ju-ri. Kang Ju-ri is the CEO of an entertainment agency, a former girl group member, who hides a twisted inner self and greed behind her successful businesswoman facade. This marks Jang Na-ra's first foray into playing an antagonist role in her career.
Her appearance was previously hinted at through a 'silhouette poster' released before the first episode, which already generated significant buzz. The newly released poster showcases Jang Na-ra's elegant and sophisticated styling, but what truly stands out is her unprecedentedly chilling aura. Her gaze, fixed on something unseen, emanates a frosty coldness, while the slight upturn of her lips suggests cunning, giving her an almost 'witch-like' presence.
The 'Taxi Driver 3' team commented, "The upcoming episodes 9 and 10 will target the exploitation, power abuse, and corruption hidden behind the glamorous success of K-pop." They added, "We are very grateful to have actress Jang Na-ra, who has proven herself as a 'must-see actress' through her diverse filmography, adding strength to this production. We ask for your high expectations for Jang Na-ra's acting transformation as she sheds her previous kind and upright image to be reborn as a powerful villain."
'Taxi Driver 3' is a private revenge drama where the mysterious taxi company Rainbow Transport and its driver Kim Do-gi (played by Lee Je-hoon) exact vengeance on behalf of victims. Episode 9 is scheduled to air on the 19th at 9:50 PM.
Netizens are expressing strong anticipation for Jang Na-ra's villainous role, commenting, "Actress Jang Na-ra's acting spectrum is truly wide!", "Already looking forward to Taxi Driver 3", and "The confrontation between Kim Do-gi (Lee Je-hoon) and Kang Ju-ri (Jang Na-ra) is going to be so thrilling."
