Ju Ji-hoon Becomes a Prosecutor at the Center of Power... Two Character Stills of Ju Ji-hoon from 'Climax' Released

Actor Ju Ji-hoon returns with the face of ambition racing towards the highest place.

Ahead of its first broadcast on March 16, the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 〈Climax〉 unveiled two character stills of the key figure, Prosecutor Bang Tae-seop, who moves towards the highest power in South Korea, on the morning of the 19th, signaling a thrilling prologue. 〈Climax〉 depicts the fierce survival drama of individuals who have jumped into the power cartel to stand at the top, with Ju Ji-hoon portraying Bang Tae-seop, a character with endless desire and cold judgment, showcasing the chilling charm of a prosecutor who makes the most deadly choices at every moment.

Having left a strong impression last year through 〈Severe Trauma Center〉, Ju Ji-hoon transforms into a strategist who prioritizes the results of survival and choice, reading the flow of the game faster than anyone else in this comeback work. Bang Tae-seop is a three-dimensional character who willingly endures the cost of increasingly brutal choices as he rises, going beyond the simplistic dichotomy of good and evil. In the released stills, Ju Ji-hoon is seen sitting in an organized prosecutor's office, gazing at documents with a calm yet sharp gaze, showing meticulousness as if calculating the next move on a chessboard. In the second still, he is seen resolutely walking away from a press conference filled with numerous reporters' questions, visually proving the weight of someone standing in a precarious position that could collapse first as he gets closer to the top.

This drama of desire questioning who is qualified to reach the top gathers anticipation as it features a solid cast including Ju Ji-hoon, Ha Ji-won, Nana, Oh Jung-se, and Cha Joo-young, all of whom possess strong acting skills. Ju Ji-hoon is expected to elevate the tension of the drama to its peak as he battles for survival at the center of a dangerous collaboration created by desire.

The ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 〈Climax〉 is planned as a total of 10 episodes, starting its first broadcast at 10 PM on March 16, and is set to meet global viewers through KT Genie TV and the global OTT platform Disney+.
