"Jang Na-ra is scary."
If you watched the SBS drama 'Taxi Driver 3' last weekend, you probably agree with this sentiment. From the cheerfulness of 'Successful Story of a Bright Girl' in 2002 to the desperate maternal love in 'Go Back Couple,' and the cool intellect in the recent 'Good Partner.' At the foundation of her acting, there was always a sense of 'warmth.'
But this time, it was different. For the first time in 24 years since her debut, Jang Na-ra wore the clothes of 'absolute evil.' Let's explore the shocking scene where she herself, very deliberately, tore down the castle of 'goodness' she had built over half her life!
1. The 'Uncanny Valley' Hidden Behind a Doll-like Face
Appearing as the protagonist of episodes 9 and 10 of 'Taxi Driver 3,' Jang Na-ra played the role of 'Kang Joo-ri,' the CEO of an entertainment agency. She was a vicious employer who treated trainees like 'products' and committed acts of cruelty.
Her youthful appearance and clear eyes, familiar to the public, met this role and created a bizarre horror.
"Her mouth is smiling, but her eyes are empty. When she whispers in a sweet voice, 'You guys are products with an expiration date,' viewers felt a chill that went beyond the anger felt towards a typical villain."
She perfectly utilized the horror felt when a very familiar and good face approaches strangely, the so-called 'Uncanny Valley' effect.
2. Forget the 'Bright Girl,' A Meticulously Planned Evolution!
In fact, Jang Na-ra's transformation didn't happen overnight. Starting from her mid-30s, she has cleverly shifted her direction. She put on the face of cool genre works through 'VIP' and 'Sell Your Haunted House,' and equipped herself with dry charisma through 'Good Partner.'
This 'Kang Joo-ri' is the pinnacle of that evolutionary process and the most shocking result. Especially, as a former idol herself, the scene where she shouts at the trainees, "The camera won't miss a single expression of yours. Don't try to put sincerity into it," presented a painful reality that exposes the dark side of the entertainment industry.
3. The Rooftop Jump Ending, Actress Jang Na-ra's Spectacular Soar!
At the end of the episode, when her true nature is revealed, Kang Joo-ri rejects Kim Do-gi's (Lee Je-hoon) rescue hand and lets go of the rooftop railing herself. It was a miserable death, but for actress Jang Na-ra, it was a spectacularly brilliant soar.
Through this short special appearance, she completely threw away the safe fence of 'romantic comedy.' The record viewership rating of 13.3% and the pouring praise prove that her choice was not wrong.
Act 3 of Jang Na-ra's Acting Life
Now, the public doesn't just expect 'cuteness' from Jang Na-ra. Because they have seen the cool blade hidden behind her expressionless face.
Actress Jang Na-ra, who acted the ugliest desire with the most lovely face. Her third act of acting life, which started so chillingly cool, is even more anticipated!
