"Climax" is recording hot buzz centered on 2049 ratings.
On the 25th, ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama "Climax" said it ranked first among Monday-Tuesday dramas in the 2049 target ratings and ranked first domestically on the global OTT platform Disney+ for eight consecutive days.
"Climax" is a drama about prosecutor Bang Taeseop (Ju Jihoon) who jumped into a cartel of power to stand at the top position in Korea and the fierce survival struggle of those around him. With a stormlike unfolding and dense, passionate performances from the actors, it has continued its box-office craze while receiving favorable responses.
In particular, "Climax" ranked first domestically on the global OTT platform Disney+ for eight consecutive days that day. Also, on the 24th it set a personal best with a 2049 target rating of 1.3%, ranking first among Monday-Tuesday dramas by 2049 target ratings and capturing its target audience. The highest minute-by-minute rating in the metropolitan area also surpassed 4.2%, proving high immersion (Nielsen Korea provided).
Viewers poured out praise such as "time flies," "relationships are delicious," "filled with acting," "a drama that truly cannot be predicted," "so tense it might be bad for the heart," and "finally a drama worth watching in a while," and attention is increasingly focused on its future box-office performance.
In addition, "Climax" topped the TV-OTT drama and TV drama popularity rankings of Good Data Corporation's FUNdex, ranked first in Naver Open Talk, and placed second in Naver Entertainment's "most searched dramas right now." It also swept No. 1 in Watchapedia's Korean series category and No. 2 in the content ranking platform KINOLIGHTS' "weekly trend ranking," proving explosive buzz.
"Climax" was produced by HYBE Media Corp., which has presented well-made works that combine both artistic merit and box-office appeal such as the films 12.12: The Day, Inside Men, The Man Standing Next, Deliver Us from Evil, YADANG: The Snitch, and the Disney+ original series Made In Korea. Furthermore, it adds credibility as director Lee Jiwon's first drama directing work; Lee swept newcomer director awards including the Baeksang Arts Awards for the film Miss Baek. It airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m.
