Oh Jung Se brings his signature depth and nuance to his new character in 'Climax'

ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama Climax has unveiled character stills of Kwon Jong Wook, played by Oh Jung Se.

Climax follows prosecutor Bang Tae Seop (Ju Ji Hoon), who plunges into a cartel of power to rise to the top, and the people around him.

In the K-drama, Oh Jung Se plays Kwon Jong Wook, a second-generation chaebol aiming for the throne of WR Group, the third-largest business conglomerate in South Korea. As the eldest son of WR Group Chairman Kwon Se Myung, he was naturally regarded as the successor. 

However, as the family's power structure begins to shake, his place likewise becomes precarious, and Kwon Jong Wook seizes opportunities that work in his favor as he jumps into the deadly power struggle surrounding WR Group. The newly released character stills capture the tense moments surrounding Kwon Jong Wook.

In the first still, he is shown sitting across the table from someone, locking eyes with him as the conversation continues. The subtle tension in the way he looks at the other person while holding a fork heightens curiosity about what choice he may be preparing to make.

In the next still, Kwon Jong Wook sits with his arms crossed, lost in deep thought. It hints at the place he will occupy at the center of the power struggle and builds anticipation for how he will drive the story.

Climax depicts the tension within a web of complex relationships among characters with different desires within a vast power structure where politics, the business world, and the entertainment industry intersect. Kwon Jong Wook also serves as a major variable on this grand board of power, disrupting the balance among the characters.

Climax premieres on March 16. The K-drama will be streaming on Disney+ (select regions).
