Actress Ha Jiwon survived after a desperate self-harm show in "Climax."
On the 6th, the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "Climax" featured actress Chu Sang-ah (Ha Jiwon), who staged a "self-harm show" using her own life and held a deceptive press conference to the nation to escape suspicion of arranging a murder, who after a showdown with WR Group's Lee Yang-mi (Cha Joo-young) was resurrected as the "spouse of a candidate for the National Assembly."
On that episode, Chu Sang-ah discovered that Lee Yang-mi had not only blocked her return to work but also cut off the funding for her husband, National Assembly candidate Bang Tae-seop (Ju Jihoon), leaving her unable to hide her mixed feelings. To make matters worse, after her agency chief bluntly told her, "If you don't get this role, you'll have to rest for at least several years, and even if you are lucky enough to return, you'll be cast as a divorcee or a mother," she swallowed her pride and waited for Lee Yang-mi, but in the end she was left standing in a pitiful situation.
Trapped and desperate, Chu Sang-ah decided to become the "decoy" herself. She told her husband Bang Tae-seop, "It offends my pride that the aides won't even recommend couple campaigning at the time in your life when I should be your trophy," and declared, "My pride has already been trampled; if it can be trampled more and overturned, then I'll let it happen," before going to see Lee Yang-mi herself.
When Lee Yang-mi, who met her again at the golf course, deliberately dropped a hole-in-one golf ball into the toilet, Chu Sang-ah picked it up with her bare hands and washed it herself, and after that desperate act she succeeded in the showdown. With that gambit, Chu Sang-ah not only secured the WR Group advertising model position but also made a glamorous return to the project that had been on the verge of her departure, reversing the situation. Later, campaigning alongside Bang Tae-seop, Chu Sang-ah smiled gracefully before the public as the "trophy wife" and announced the "queen's return."
Notably, murmuring "it's better to break than to wither," Chu Sang-ah vowed with Bang Tae-seop to take revenge on Lee Yang-mi, who had reshaped every game in her favor, raising curiosity about future developments. Having come back from the brink, whether Chu Sang-ah will walk only the "flower path" from now on has become a matter of intense interest for viewers in the latter half of the series.
