Actor Oh Jung-se steps in as the pivotal player set to shake up the entire power game.
On the 9th, the team behind ENA’s Monday–Tuesday drama Climax unveiled still cuts of Oh Jung-se’s character, Kwon Jong-uk.
The photos capture him locked in conversation across a dining table, eyes fixed on his counterpart with a fork in hand — a subtle but unmistakable tension that raises questions about the choice he’s gearing up to make. Another shot shows him arms crossed, lost in deep thought, hinting that he’s seated at the very center of the power board and teasing a high-stakes turn in the story.
Climax dives into the razor-edged tensions between politics, business, and entertainment, as characters with clashing desires collide inside a massive power structure. Oh Jung-se plays second-generation chaebol Kwon Jong-uk, a crucial variable at the heart of power who rattles the balance among the key players. All eyes are on how Oh’s signature, tightly wound performance will amplify Kwon Jong-uk’s impact and trigger seismic waves in the plot.
Meanwhile, Climax follows prosecutor Bang Tae-seop (played by Joo Ji-hoon) as he plunges into a power cartel to seize the nation’s top seat — a brutal survival game among those orbiting him. The drama premieres Monday the 16th at 10 p.m.
