'Perfect Crown' wraps up at personal best, 'My Royal Nemesis' hits new high
Upcoming K-thriller Climax, starring Ju Ji Hoon, Ha Ji Won, Nana, Oh Jung Se, and Cha Joo Young, is coming in 2026.
Climax follows Prosecutor Bang Tae Seop, who jumps into a cartel of power to stand at the pinnacle of Korea's elite, and the survival game involving people surrounding him.
Ju Ji Hoon plays Bang Tae Seop, a man who becomes a star prosecutor almost overnight after marrying Korea's top actress.
Ha Ji Won takes on the role of Chu Sang Ah, who was once the top actress but, after marriage, is now treated as a washed-up star.
Nana plays Hwang Jeong Won, who secretly serves as an informant at Bang Tae Seop's side. She holds the key to opening Pandora's box that can reveal the dark underbelly of the power cartel.
Cha Joo Young takes on the role of Lee Yang Mi, the second wife of the chairman of WR Group, the third-largest conglomerate in Korea.
Oh Jung Se will play the role of Kwon Jong Wook, the chairman's eldest son, who competes with Lee Yang Mi for the position of WR Group's successor.
The production team of Climax stated, "Director Lee Ji Won, who proved her delicate mise-en-scène and exceptional directing prowess through her previous works, is coming together with a cast whose names alone inspire trust. The intertwined desires and choices of each character, and the intense narrative that unfolds as a result, make this a highly compelling work. We ask for your great interest."
Climax will be released in 2026 on Mondays and Tuesdays. News about the global OTT is yet to come.
