Actor Cha Joo-young showed an intimate psychological change with outstanding skill.
On the 30th, the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Climax' portrayed the story of Lee Yang-mi (played by Cha Joo-young) changing her plan. Earlier, Lee Yang-mi had moved to corner Bang Tae-seop (played by Ju Jihoon) and Chu Sang-ah (played by Ha Jiwon).
Amid this, Lee Yang-mi faced an unexpected situation. She learned through Kwon Jong-wook (played by Oh Jung-se) that Kwon Se-myung (played by Kim Hong-pa) was involved in the Oh Kwang-jae (played by Seo Hyun-woo) incident that Choi Ji-ho (played by Oh Seung-hoon) had exposed. In particular, she went cold in an instant at the inference that Kwon Se-myung could be the real killer who murdered Oh Kwang-jae.
Then, Lee Yang-mi, who went to find Kwon Se-myung, realized he was talking with Bang Tae-seop. Moreover, when Kwon Se-myung collapsed as if breaking down, Lee Yang-mi rushed over in panic, and his cutting words turned her face ashen, making everyone hold their breath.
But Lee Yang-mi was not to be underestimated. The fear lasted only a moment; as she looked at the unconscious Kwon Se-myung, a flash in her eyes revealed a terrifying ambition. Also, by quickly giving Choi Ji-ho instructions about work, Lee Yang-mi left viewers wondering what her next move would be.
In this way, Cha Joo-young compellingly embodied the character's turbulent emotions, allowing viewers to fully empathize. When confronting Kwon Jong-wook, her tone of dismissal smoothly conveyed Lee Yang-mi's inner turmoil shaken by the unexpected development.
Above all, her delicate modulation that swung between fear and ambition in front of Kwon Se-myung heightened the drama's tension. Thus, Cha Joo-young, based on solid acting skills and range, captivated viewers at once in every episode. On online communities, praise is abundant, such as "These days Cha Joo-young's acting is the most enjoyable to watch", "Cha Joo-young's transformation is perfect", and "she changes her face and manner of speech for every role."
Meanwhile, 'Climax' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. and is also available on KT Jini TV and Disney+.
