Actor Cha Joo-young appears to have had a change of face.
On the 16th, which aired the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama Climax, Cha Joo-young appeared as Lee Yang-mi, the owner of WR Hotel and a key figure in WR Group, announcing the birth of an extraordinary character from her first appearance.
In that episode, Lee Yang-mi (played by Cha Joo-young) toyed with Choo Sang-a (played by Ha Jiwon) and exuded an unsettling atmosphere. Above all, the facets of Lee Yang-mi, who filled a glass as if comforting Choo Sang-a while noting her current situation, left viewers holding their breath.
Moreover, Lee Yang-mi, who was mentioning Nam Hye-hoon (played by Yoon Sa-bong), a next presidential contender, delivered a chilling warning at Choo Sang-a's one remark. Furthermore, to the risen Choo Sang-a, she tightened his lifeline, saying he should make good judgments.
Meanwhile, Lee Yang-mi's appearance leading her secretarial staff into the hotel even conveyed a paranoid tendency. Her actions of detailing and instructing every small thing, from the hotel's structures to its scent, surprised everyone.
Thus, Cha Joo-young left a strong impression from the start and immediately captivated viewers. In particular, she vividly embodied a character who hides a sharp blade behind an elegant, composed smile, greatly enhancing the drama's immersion.
Additionally, her expressive power, which can flip a character's emotional temperature in an instant, pulled the work's tension taut and conveyed the suspense intact. In this way, Cha Joo-young once again transformed into a new character and surprised everyone. Accordingly, expectations grow for Lee Yang-mi's narrative and Cha Joo-young's fine acting going forward.
Meanwhile, the Cha Joo-young–starring ENA Monday-Tuesday drama Climax airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. and is also available on KT Jini TV and Disney+.<
