ENA’s upcoming drama Climax has revealed its first look at Ju Ji Hoon in character.
“Climax” is a fierce survival drama that centers on prosecutor Bang Tae Seob, who enters a power-driven cartel in pursuit of rising to the top of South Korea’s power structure. The series follows the intense survival battles that unfold around him.
Ju Ji Hoon portrays Bang Tae Seob as a man driven by boundless ambition and sharp judgment. Determined to climb to the summit of power, he joins a powerful alliance and prioritizes survival above all else. He reads the shifting dynamics of the game faster than anyone, enduring the harsh consequences of each decision as he ascends step by step. Despite the cost, he never abandons his pursuit of ambition.
The newly released stills symbolically capture his position and desire. In one image, Bang Tae Seob sits calmly in his office, his focused gaze reflecting composure and calculation. In another, he exits a press conference followed by a crowd of reporters. Amid relentless questions, he does not look back, signaling the determination of someone aiming for the highest position—even while standing in the most unstable place.
The production team described Bang Tae Seob as a character forced to choose survival over morality, standing at the center of a dangerous alliance shaped by desire in a story that questions who is worthy of reaching the top.
“Climax” will premiere on March 16 at 10 p.m. KST and will consist of 10 episodes.
