ENA's New Drama 'Climax' Unveiled at Exclusive Premiere Event

The highly anticipated ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Climax' was unveiled through an exclusive premiere of its first two episodes.

On October 12, ENA, in collaboration with KT, hosted the premiere event and a director's talk with Lee Ji-won at the KT WEST building in Gwanghwamun.

Approximately 100 viewers attended the event, where the first two episodes of 'Climax' were screened for the first time. The gripping storyline, Lee Ji-won's intense direction, and the stellar performances by Joo Ji-hoon, Ha Ji-won, Nana, Oh Jung-se, and Cha Joo-young captivated the audience throughout the 120-minute screening, culminating in applause and heightened anticipation for the series.

During the subsequent director's talk, Lee Ji-won shared insights into the show's concept, directing process, casting choices, and character development, engaging in a deep conversation with the audience.

Director Lee emphasized, "The drama builds up to a greater climax, as suggested by its title, and I focused on maintaining tension from start to finish." He also shared behind-the-scenes stories and directing highlights, which were well-received by the audience. Previously, at the production presentation on October 10, Lee expressed confidence, stating, "I believe it can surpass the ratings of 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo'." The 2022 ENA drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' achieved a peak rating of 17.5%.

ENA's Content Strategy Center Director Yoon Sung-sik remarked, "The premiere and director's talk provided a meaningful opportunity to present ENA's ambitious project 'Climax' and engage in deep conversations with viewers." He added, "Following the success of ENA's Monday-Tuesday dramas like 'Good Girl Busami' and 'Honor: Their Court', 'Climax' is expected to continue this trend, offering new excitement and engagement, particularly among the 2049 demographic."

'Climax' premieres at 10 PM tonight.
