K-Drama 'Climax' Unveils Character Stills of Ambitious Prosecutor Bang Tae-seop

The ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Climax' has released two character stills of Prosecutor Bang Tae-seop, a key figure driven by ambition towards the highest power in South Korea.

'Climax' is a drama that depicts the intense survival game of Prosecutor Bang Tae-seop, who enters the power cartel to reach the top position in South Korea, and those surrounding him. Ju Ji-hoon transforms into Bang Tae-seop, a prosecutor with endless ambition and cold judgment, showcasing a character who makes the most fatal choices at the center of power.

Having delivered intense performances across various genres, Ju Ji-hoon returns to TV dramas with 'Climax' following 'Trauma Center,' portraying Prosecutor Bang Tae-seop at the heart of power. Bang Tae-seop (played by Ju Ji-hoon) is a character who dives into the power cartel with ambitions for the highest power. He prioritizes survival and the outcomes of his choices, reading and moving with the flow faster than anyone else. Despite the cruel consequences of his choices as he climbs higher, he remains unstoppable.

The newly released character stills symbolically capture Bang Tae-seop's position and ambition. The first still captures Bang Tae-seop (Ju Ji-hoon) seated in his office. His gaze, whether focused on documents or lost in thought, is calm yet sharp, conveying the meticulousness of a character calculating his next move.

The second still draws attention as it shows Bang Tae-seop walking away from a press conference, leaving numerous reporters behind. Even in a situation flooded with questions, his back turned to the crowd demonstrates the determination of a character advancing towards the highest position, yet standing in a place where he could be the first to fall.

Bang Tae-seop is a character who must choose survival over the dichotomy of good and evil. In a story questioning who deserves to reach the top, he stands at the center of the most dangerous alliance created by desire.

'Climax' premieres on March 16 on ENA and will also be available on KT Genie TV and Disney+.
