‘Jang Won-young’s Sister’ Jang Da-ah’s Acting In “Pyramid Game” Receives Compliments
Jang Da-ah finally debuted through “Pyramid Game” and viewers’ reactions to her acting are beyond expectations
TVING’s series “Pyramid Game” released episodes 1 to 4 on February 29th. This drama is about a survival battle in which students of Class 2-5 in Baekyeon Girls’ High School are divided into school violence perpetrators, victims, and bystanders through a monthly vote.
“Pyramid Game” has drawn keen attention since before the production stage. The drama was based on a webtoon of the same name that opened a new world for academy psychological thriller genre with its unique worldview, and it was also known as the debut project of IVE Jang Won-young’s sister Jang Da-ah and “Single’s Inferno 2” cast member Shin Seul-ki.
In addition to Jang Da-ah and Shin Seul-ki, the drama also starred rising actresses such as Kim Ji-yeon (WJSN’s Bona), Ryu Da-in and Kang Na-eon. Amid high expectations before the drama premiere, fans of the original webtoon and drama viewers also expressed concerns over character synchronization and the actresses’ acting skills. However, the cast, especially Jang Da-ah, actually succeeded in increasing viewers’ immersion in their drama.
Jang Da-ah took on the role of Baek Ha-rin, the princess of Class 2-5 who is loved by everyone. This character is gentle and kind, but she hides an unexpected side that is completely different from her outlook. In particular, Jang Da-ah impressed everyone when she pulled off a smoking scene very well.
After watching the first 4 episodes of “Pyramid Game”, netizens poured compliments on Jang Da-ah’s acting in online communities. They commented, “She did great. She prepared for the character so well”, “Her acting is so good”, “She’s a rookie actress but she did well”, “She did well, didn’t she?”, “She did better than I thought”, “Her acting is great. That’s unexpected”, etc.
The tension changed as the new student transferred into Class 2-5, and other students’ moves to survival began to be unpredictable. As Sung Soo-ji (Kim Ji-yeon) has become the target of the game, attention is on how she will get rid of the bullies in the next episodes.
In addition, viewers also look forward to the performance of Jang Da-ah in the latter part of the drama.
