As soon as the drama "Climax" was released, it showed a strong presence throughout Asia.
According to the weekly chart for the third week of March (March 16-22), released by OTT platform Viu on the 31st, ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "Climax" ranked first in Indonesia and Thailand, ranking second in Singapore, fourth in Malaysia and the Philippines, and fifth in Hong Kong. It was a performance that made it into the top 5 of six major Asian countries in the first week of its release, proving its early box office success at once.
"Climax" is a highly stimulated epic drama about the fierce survival game of prosecutor Bang Tae-seop (played by Joo Ji-hoon), who jumped into the cartel to stand at the peak of power, and the characters surrounding him. Ju Ji-hoon's charisma, Ha Ji-won's intense acting transformation, Oh Jung-se, Nana, and Cha Cha-young have improved their completeness.
In particular, Ha Ji-won and Nana's same-sex kiss scene continue to develop, making it more viral.
This achievement is analyzed as a result of the global fan base of K-genre accumulated through the "Honor: Their Court," "Bloody Flower" and "Model Taxi" series. It is evaluated that the demand for genre pleasure and speedy development continues, forming a stable viewing base throughout Asia.
