Actor Ha Sun-jae has transformed into a powerful villain in the SBS drama "Taxi Driver 3." The drama, which premiered on November 21, tells the story of the taxi company Rainbow Transportation and taxi driver Kim Do-gi (played by Lee Je-hoon) who exact revenge on behalf of wronged victims. Ha Sun-jae made a strong impression on viewers by appearing as a loan shark from an illegal private lending organization in episodes 1 and 2.

Ha Sun-jae appeared with a slicked-back hairstyle and an unbuttoned shirt, perfectly embodying a character who commits chilling evil acts. He threatened and assaulted high school student Yoon Yi-seo (played by Cha Si-yeon), who was deceived by the phrase "Point Advance Dream" in a mobile game and took out an illegal loan. Ha Sun-jae made a ruthless offer to forgive accumulated interest if Yi-seo signed up five friends for the game, even visiting the restaurant run by Yi-seo's grandmother to pressure her into repaying the debt.

Cornered and desperate, Yi-seo was tempted by Ha Sun-jae's proposal and was offered a condition to go to Japan and work for just one month to erase both the principal and interest. Throughout this process, Ha Sun-jae's expression showed no remorse, provoking viewers' anger. His chilling villain performance heightened the drama's tension and served as a central element of the first episode.

In his previous work "I Kill You," Ha Sun-jae delicately portrayed a character with autism spectrum disorder with nuanced emotional acting. In this work, he perfectly expressed a villainous character that is completely opposite, expanding his range as an actor. Ha Sun-jae's acting skill harmonized with his striking visuals and clear diction, further emphasizing the character's cruelty.

"Taxi Driver 3" has left a strong impression on viewers and raised expectations for Ha Sun-jae's acting career. His villainous role leaves a deep impact on viewers at the boundary between revenge and justice, the drama's main themes. Attention is focused on what kind of performance Ha Sun-jae will show in the upcoming developments.
