Jang Won Young's sister received endless praise for her first time acting in a movie.

On February 29, the TV series "Pyramid Game" aired its first four episodes.

The story is about a battle for survival in which students in classes 2-5 of Baekyeon Girls' High School are divided into perpetrators of school violence, victims, and bystanders through a monthly vote called the pyramid game.

This is a game that determines grades - if a student receives an F, he or she becomes a victim of school violence and is bullied by higher-level classmates.

According to the media, even before production, the movie “Pyramid Game” has attracted the attention of the audience. The movie based on the webtoon of the same name has opened a new world for the psychological horror genre with a unique worldview.

At the same time, this is also the debut project of Jang Da Ah - Jang Won Young's sister (IVE) and Shin Seul Ki - Miss Traditional Korea 2020 (Miss Chunhyang) - and also a player in the famous dating show "Hell Single 2" as an actress.

In addition, the film features a rising cast of Korean screen actors such as Kim Ji Yeon (WJSN's Bona), Ryu Da In, Kang Na Eon, Ha Yul Ri...

Xports News reported that along with high expectations ahead of the film's release, fans of the original webtoon and moviegoers expressed concerns about the synchronization of the characters and the acting skills of the actresses.

However, when the film officially aired, the cast, especially Jang Da Ah, really succeeded in attracting viewers to sit in front of the screen.

Taking on the role of Baek Ha Rin - known as the princess of class 2-5, Jang Da Ah was praised for portraying two aspects of the character well - sometimes appearing gentle and kind; sometimes being cruel to her friends.

Xports News commented that Jang Da Ah's eyes when portraying the villain role made a strong impression.

“Jang Da Ah did a great job and prepared well for her character”, “Her acting was better than I thought”, “Even though she is a rookie actress, Jang Da Ah performed very well. This makes me look forward to her future”, “Jang Da Ah is not stiff at all. What a surprise”, “Da Ah is better than I thought. She fits the character, has a good voice tone”... - Korean newspapers quoted comments from the audience.

Along with the praise for Jang Da Ah's villainous character, Bona's performance as Sung Su Ji - a new transfer student to class 2-5 and bullied by her classmates - was also highly appreciated.

Su Ji becoming the target of the pyramid game and how she escapes from the bullies, while finding a way to break the alliance of this toxic game is what the audience is looking forward to in the next episodes.
