Joo Ji-hoon once again worked on the small screen.

Joo Ji-hoon has been leading the drama's popularity and viewership rise at the same time with his complete presence from the beginning in the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "Climax."

Joo Ji-hoon played the role of Doberman "Bang Tae-seop" at Seoam District Prosecutors' Office, who was a dirt spoon in "Climax." Bang Tae-seop is an ambitious character who wants to enter the center of power by marrying actress Ab Sang-ah (played by Ha Ji-won), who rose to the top with a desire for a higher place.

In the first and second episodes aired this week, Bang Tae-seop's past and present were quickly depicted. Joo Ji-hoon convincingly depicted the process of a person who started without anything and became a star prosecutor in a short time. It perfectly reproduced the desire for power of a character who has lived fiercely, such as masterfully singing and dancing, which was not easily seen in existing works. In particular, despite the desire to reach the top, he showed a deep melodrama in his eyes looking at his wife, Sang-ah, adding a three-dimensional effect to the character.

The shocking ending of the first inning, which heated up online with Joo Ji-hoon's whistle, raised expectations for the subsequent development to the highest. In the second episode, Tae-seop was at a crossroads to protect his ambition and wife's ivory, and the tightrope walk with Kwon Jong-wook (Oh Jung-se) and Lee Yang-mi (Cha Joo-young) began in earnest. Joo Ji-hoon made viewers focus more by unraveling the emotions of the character that change from moment to moment in the structure of power with detailed eyes and facial expressions.

Climax is Joo Ji-hoon's next film, which was highly anticipated even before the broadcast. Amid the news of casting such as "The Empress of Re-marriage" after the "Severe Trauma Center," this "Climax" is the first completed work.

"Climax" was ranked sixth in the TV drama category in the second week of March conducted by Good Data Corporation Fundex even before the show began.

After the broadcast, the rise continued. The first episode recorded the second highest viewership among the first broadcasts of ENA dramas with a viewership of 2.9% (provided by Nielsen Korea) based on paid households nationwide, and the second episode rose to 3.8%. At the same time, Disney+ is also proving its popularity by ranking No. 1 in the "Top 10 Series in Korea today" immediately after its release.

The ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "Climax" airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. on ENA.
