ENA’s new Monday Tuesday drama Climax is already becoming one of the biggest talking points online after making a powerful debut across both streaming and search platforms.
Right after episodes 1 and 2 were released, Climax climbed to No.1 on Disney+’s “Today’s Top 10 Series in Korea,” showing strong early momentum.
The drama also ranked No.1 on Naver Entertainment’s “Most Searched Dramas Right Now” and No.1 on Naver Open Talk rankings, proving that viewers quickly locked in on the series as soon as it premiered.
Its momentum did not stop there. Climax also took No.1 in both the Kino Lights Trend Ranking and Watcha Pedia HOT Ranking in the drama category, further proving its strong buzz across major online platforms.

Much of the attention is coming from the drama’s fast paced and intense storytelling, which has already pulled viewers in without needing much time to build.
Set around a powerful network involving prosecutors, chaebols, and the entertainment industry, the series is gaining praise for its quick development and strong tension.
Viewers have been leaving strong reactions online, with comments like “It feels like a dopamine party every episode,” “The story moves fast and it’s really good,” and “It feels like watching a movie.”
The cast is also receiving major praise, especially for the performances and on screen chemistry.
