In episode 3 of ENA's Monday–Tuesday drama climax, airing today (the 23rd), the relationships among those vying for power erupt into a deeper clash that marks a major turning point. Having moved closer to the heart of the case, Bang Tae-seop (played by Joo Ji Hoon) now stands at a crossroads, forced to choose between the truth in front of him and the path ahead. Those around him also begin to act based on their own interests, and as the structure of power and its fractures come into focus, the unpredictable twists only heighten the tension.
Previously, Joo Ji Hoon and Nana set out to uncover the hidden truth. In the newly released stills, Bang Tae-seop stands firm at the center of it all, unwavering despite a barrage of stares and questions. The photos highlight his resolve and conviction, while Hwang Jung-won's (played by Nana) sharp gaze and decisive moves underscore her determination to dig up what’s been buried.
Meanwhile, a subtle war of nerves between Kwon Jong-wook (Oh Jung-se) and Lee Yang-mi (Cha Joo-young) is also captured. The taut tension and growing cracks in their relationship hint at an increasingly complex power game. Chu Sang-ah (Ha Ji-won), preparing to make another pivotal choice, also draws attention.
As a reminder, climax follows prosecutor Bang Tae-seop, who dives into a power cartel to reach the very top of South Korea, and the fierce survival game among those surrounding him. The series quickly went viral, recording 2.9% nationwide ratings for episode 1 and 3.8% for episode 2. Episode 3 airs today at 10 p.m.
