ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Climax' is showing signs that its momentum is more than just ordinary. With its increasingly tension-filled developments keeping viewers glued in, ahead of the Episode 3 broadcast, a preview still has been released that signals the opening of a power struggle.
'Climax' is a work portraying the desperate survival story of prosecutor Bang Tae-seob (played by Joo Ji-hoon) and the people around him, who plunge into a massive power cartel while aiming for the very top of the Republic of Korea. In the released Episode 3 still cuts, the characters' ambitions for power collide in earnest, setting up a new turn in the story.
In particular, Bang Tae-seob's unwavering gaze, as he searches for the truth amid countless suspicions, captures attention. Attention is focused on what kind of seismic shift his decision will bring to the drama's power structure. Meanwhile, Hwang Jeong-won (played by Nana)'s sharp presence as she tracks hidden clues further heightens the dramatic tension.
Even the subtle nerves in the center of power are a key point to watch. The tense atmosphere between Kwon Jong-wook (played by Oh Jung-se) and Lee Yang-mi (played by Cha Joo-young) hints at a fracture in their relationship, while Choo Ah-ja (played by Ha Ji-won), who lays out the board with a cold expression, signals a development that cannot be predicted even a step ahead.
These high-immersion developments are directly translating into a ratings rise. Starting with a nationwide rating of 2.9% for Episode 1, 'Climax' jumped to 3.8% in Episode 2, and in the Seoul metropolitan area, it recorded 4.0%, signaling a promising run on the rating charts.
Episode 3 of 'Climax,' which has announced the birth of a well-made genre drama with the actors' overwhelming acting skills and a solid script, will air tonight at 10 PM on ENA. You can also watch it via KT Genie TV and Disney+.
