The recording of Ha Ji-won's "murder solicitation" in "Climax" has been revealed. In the third episode of ENA's "Climax," which aired on March 23, the protagonist Chu Sang-ah shocked viewers by revealing her past actions. In the broadcast, Chu Sang-ah was threatened by Park Jae-sang, who was about to be released from prison, with the words, "If you don't keep your promise, I will expose to the entire nation what kind of monster you are." This led to the release of the recording in which Chu Sang-ah requested Park Jae-sang to kill the famous entertainment producer Oh Kwang-jae, heightening the tension of the drama.

The core of the broadcast was the complicated relationship between Chu Sang-ah and Oh Kwang-jae. When Oh Kwang-jae demanded a coercive bed scene from rookie actress Han Ji-soo, Chu Sang-ah appeared on the scene and confronted him strongly, saying, "Behave properly before you get kicked out of the film industry. Send me the contract; I'll pay the penalty fee." Afterward, to protect Han Ji-soo, Chu Sang-ah began to "run wild," breaking into Oh Kwang-jae's hotel room and engaging in a fierce struggle, ultimately stabbing Oh Kwang-jae in the back.

Following this scene, the ending showed Chu Sang-ah turning around in terror at the sound of someone knocking on the hotel room door, delivering an intense chill and immersion to the viewers. Ha Ji-won delivered a passionate performance in this work, skillfully navigating romance, action, and thriller genres. In particular, she perfectly portrayed the complex emotional line of willingly becoming a "monster" to survive, earning praise from viewers who said she "set a new standard for her career with the role of Chu Sang-ah."

ENA's "Climax" is a drama depicting the fierce survival battle of prosecutor Bang Tae-seop, who entered the cartel of power to stand at the top of South Korea, and the people surrounding him. Episode 4 is scheduled to air on March 24 at 10 PM. Ha Ji-won's bold acting and the intense storyline continue to attract attention every episode.
