Bae Yoo-ram is an actor gaining fresh recognition for his realistic and humorous portrayals in SBS's "Taxi Driver 3," adding charm and vigor through his character to every episode.
As reported by OSEN, Bae stars as Park Jin-eon, an engineer at Rainbow Transport, and his performance has strongly appealed to viewers in episodes three and four. Among his role's strengths cited is everyday realism and subtle comedic timing in this drama.
According to a detailed scene described by OSEN, Bae's character tries to sell a call van with his colleague Choi, played by Jang Hyuk-jin. It was reported that he then "answered honestly with an innocent expression," a reaction that led viewers to laugh while sympathizing with the character's misfortune.
The follow-up banter after they had been deceived added both humor and tension to the episode.
Additional reporting by Chosun Biz focused on Bae's episode four appearance, wherein Park and Choi disguise themselves to access a luxury whiskey bar to overhear information from Cha Byung-jin, played by Yoon Si-yoon. The description likened the two for "grabbing each other by the collar" while bickering in disguise, a moment that drew attention for its comedic rhythm.
The two eventually went into the room where Cha Byung-jin was misbehaving, but then froze and retreated. It was actually quite surprising, with the duo planting a miniature camera, adding a twist and amping up the dramatic payoff.
Many have also credited Bae's synergy with Jang Hyuk-jin for being a huge factor in the charm of this season. Similar to the rapport that gained popularity in Season 2, their "frenemy" chemistry was well-built through natural dialogue delivery and expressive reactions.
Critics point out that even short scenes are embellished with Bae Yoo-ram's emotional acting and prove the weight of an actor who helps make any story more complete. The continuous contribution has driven expectations for future episodes.
Starring Bae Yoo-ram with Lee Je-hoon, Kim Eui-sung, Pyo Ye-jin and Jang Hyuk-jin, "Taxi Driver 3" airs on Fridays at 9:50 p.m. and Saturdays at 9:45 p.m.
