First Impressions
Damn, this drama is good AF, I can't even lie! There's definitely more to Sang-Ah than we thought... I KNEW she wasn't innocent!
The first episode of #Climax is interesting. Looks like it'll be good.
I have a really bad track record with kdramas lately (extremely uninspiring plots/acting), but I'm going to give #Climax a go because Juji is the 퇴폐미 근본 of Korean celebs, so I can't miss this.
#climax It's giving power, ambition, and messy choices right from the start. What stands out is the tension, like no one feels trustworthy, and everyone seems to have their own agenda. It's not a light watch at all. It's heavy and a bit unsettling, but in a way that keeps you hooked.
Film's strongest aspect. Brilliantly written twists and an unpredictable climax. Despite a familiar setup, the ending genuinely surprises. ( You neither expect nor forget ).
4 years of waiting were worth it for this. #HaJiWon is absolutely breathtaking as #ChuSangAh in #Climax.
I never thought Ha Ji Won & Ju Ji Hoon had great chemistry! my ghaddddd. Both matured, both hot in their age & both good looking. ughhh! ghad.
I don't think I've ever fallen in love with a drama so quickly. I got hooked on the story from the very beginning, absolutely amazing. Excited for the rest of the season!
was watching #climax. K-dramas really mastered the art of thrillers. I can't stop watching.
This drama really owns its name. Episode 2 was so intense, and this villain is top-tier ! I couldn't stop laughing at her craziness.
