‘Jang Wonyoung’s Sister’ Jang Da-ah Scores Exciting New Role, Solidifying Her Rise to Stardom
According to an exclusive report by IZE on February 28, actress Jang Da-ah has been officially cast in the upcoming drama “My Precious Star (tentative title).”
Jang Da-ah, who made her debut last year in the TVING original series “Pyramid Game,” impressed audiences with her exceptional acting skills and commanding presence, despite being a newcomer. Her rapid rise to fame earned her the “Rookie of the Year” award at the 9th Asia Artist Awards in Bangkok, Thailand, last December. With such a stellar debut, fans have been eagerly awaiting her next project.
As the older sister of IVE’s Jang Wonyoung, Jang Da-ah initially drew attention for her striking visuals and distinctive charm, often compared to her famous sibling. Now, she is carving out her own identity as an actress, leaving a lasting impression with her debut work and sparking curiosity about her future projects.
“My Precious Star” is a romantic drama centered around top actress Im Se-ra, who reaches the pinnacle of her career by winning the “Best Actress” award at a young age, only to face a sudden accident that forces her into a 25-year hiatus. The drama delves into her emotional and challenging journey to reclaim her place in the spotlight, offering a heartfelt and relatable narrative that is expected to deeply connect with viewers.
Having portrayed a villainous character in “Pyramid Game” with a level of intensity rarely seen from a rookie, Jang Da-ah has set high expectations for her ability to deliver another nuanced and captivating performance in “My Precious Star.”
Meanwhile, “My Precious Star” has also approached two of Korea’s most renowned actors, Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon, for leading roles. The two previously shared the screen as a married couple in the 2015 film “Wonderful Nightmare.” Uhm Jung-hwa is celebrated as one of South Korea’s most iconic actresses, while Song Seung-heon continues to captivate audiences with his versatile and magnetic performances. Fans are excited at the prospect of their reunion after nearly a decade, anticipating the dynamic chemistry they will bring to the drama.
