Genie TV's original drama "Climax" will be released in 2026. "Climax" is about a prosecutor named Bang who jumps into a cartel of power in order to become the most powerful man in Korea.
It is a fierce survival story of Tae-seop (Joo Ji-hoon) and those around him. "Climax" is directed by Lee Ji-won, who swept the New Director Awards at the Baeksang Arts Awards with the film "Proof of Abuse."
This is the director's first time directing a TV series. With Joo Ji Hoon, Ha Ji Won, Nana (AFTERSCHOOL), Oh Jung Se, and Cha Juyeon also participating, this is a highly anticipated work for the first half of the year.
Joo Ji Hoon will play the role of Bang Tae-seop, a prosecutor who becomes a star after marrying Korea's top actress (Ha Ji-won).
Ha Ji Won plays the role of Joo Sang Ah, who was once a top actress but is now considered a down-and-out actress after getting married.
Nana played the role of Hwang Jung-won, who secretly acts as an information source alongside Bang Tae-seop. Hwang Jung-won played the role of a power cartel leader in "Climax."
Cha Ju-yeon will play Lee Yang-mi, the second wife of the chairman of WR Group, the third largest business group in South Korea, who holds the key to Pandora's box that will expose the ugly side of the company.
Oh Jung Se will play the role of Kwon Jung Wook, the eldest son who competes with Lee Yang Mi to become the successor of WR Group.
The production team of "Climax" said, "Director Lee Ji Won, who proved his delicate mise-en-scène and outstanding directing skills through his previous work, and the actors, whose names alone make you trust us,
The joining of these two characters creates a powerful combination," he said. "The intertwined desires and choices of each character and the intense narrative that unfolds as a result make this a fascinating work. We ask for your attention."
