The political thriller Climax is ending its run tonight. The show follows Ju Ji Hoon as prosecutor Bang Tae Seop, a man who jumps into a powerful cartel to reach the top of South Korea’s political world. After nine intense episodes, the series comes to a close with Ha Ji Won‘s character, Chu Sang Ah, standing against him.
The drama has become a major talking point for its bold storylines. These include a same-sex relationship between Ha Ji Won and Nana and the dark side of political power. Episode 9 ended with a major leak that destroyed the alliance between the two main characters. Now, viewers are waiting to see if they will work together one last time or destroy each other completely.
Last Episode Shows Broken Alliance After Video Leak
The relationship between Bang Tae Seop and Chu Sang Ah is now broken. A secret video of Chu Sang Ah and Hwang Jeong Won (played by Nana) was leaked online. This leak ruined Bang Tae Seop’s election plans and ended his political career. The video was not an accident. Hwang Jeong Won planned the whole thing. She used drugs to confuse Chu Sang Ah and filmed the private moment to control the election results.
After learning the truth, Chu Sang Ah had a heated argument with Bang Tae Seop. They blamed each other for what happened. The two were once partners who covered up the Seo Young Sang case together. Now, they stand on opposite sides. Each one has information that could send the other to prison.
With the election coming close, they must now face each other over who is responsible for the case. Bang Tae Seop has lost his political base and all his financial support. But he now has documents about illegal funds from the opposing camp. He can choose to leak this information to the media. This move could change the election results. But it could also bring very bad consequences for him.

Cha Joo Young And Nana Play Key Roles In Final Power Game
Cha Joo Young, who plays Lee Yang Mi, has been a key figure in the power structure from the start. She designed the system around Son Guk Won (Joo Jin Mo). In the finale, she continues to control election strategy. She stays in contact with people on Son Guk Won’s side and manages media responses to keep their advantage.
But things are changing fast. Materials left behind by Hwang Jeong Won (Nana) have come out. These include black box footage and a list of illegal funds. The list shows connections between political figures and the entertainment world. As the power structure starts to crack, all eyes are on Lee Yang Mi. Viewers want to see how she will try to take back control.
Nana’s performance in the show has gotten a lot of attention. Her character’s death in Episode 9 shocked many viewers. But the evidence she left behind is now the key to bringing down the powerful people who used her.
