Actress Ha Ji-won delivered an intense performance as Chu Sang-ah in episode 6 of the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "Climax." In the episode aired on March 31, Ha Ji-won portrayed a character who uses even her own life as a tool to hide the truth.

In the drama, Chu Sang-ah confronts former bodyguard Park Jae-sang, who is trying to expose the murder conspiracy involving entertainment producer Oh Kwang-jae. When persuasion fails, she suddenly changes her attitude, saying, "I'm tired of acting in front of you," and sarcastically asks, "Did you really think things would go well between us? Did you think we were going to get married?" When an enraged Park Jae-sang strangles Chu Sang-ah in a crisis, she twists her body so that her face is captured by the cameras of passersby.

After failing to gain public sympathy and facing a massive penalty lawsuit and a battle of revelations, Chu Sang-ah stages an extreme "show" to sway public opinion. She then prepares an emergency press conference with her husband Bang Tae-seop, appearing on stage looking haggard with dark circle makeup and special effects makeup. At this event, Chu Sang-ah sheds fake tears, saying, "I wanted to prove my innocence even if it's like this."

Additionally, after news breaks that Park Jae-sang died by suicide, she acts out a scene where she collapses from hyperventilation in response to reporters' questions. Ha Ji-won's acting heightened immersion and was praised for raising the tension of the drama.

Ha Ji-won ranked second in the cast category in the Good Data Corporation Fundex popularity survey for the fourth week of March. The drama "Climax" also ranked second in integrated TV-OTT popularity. ENA's "Climax" airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM.
