Netizens were left stunned after Ha Ji Won’s character in Climax took a completely unexpected turn.
In recent episodes, her character, who was previously portrayed within a conventional romantic narrative alongside Ju Ji Hoon, was revealed to be lesbian, shocking viewers who did not see the twist coming.
The reveal quickly began trending across online communities, with many expressing surprise at both the storyline and the bold direction of the drama.
- I didn’t watch it because of Ju Ji Hoon, but I’m suddenly interested. Hmm…
- No, but they should’ve told us earlier. I also didn’t want to watch it because of Ju Ji Hoon.
- I got turned off today… They gave us too many provocative twists and turns, so that it feels like they’re using the buzz. I wanted some realistic enemies-to-lovers tension between the husband and wife, but this just makes me sick and tired of it. I’m going to stop watching it.
- This is really refreshing for a Korean drama, but it’s not a lesbian drama. It’s about politics and there’s also a kiss scene with the male lead. I don’t recommend it to people who want to watch it for the GL.
- Is Ha Ji Won’s character bi, since she also has some romance with the male lead?
Some viewers praised the twist for adding depth and unpredictability, calling it a refreshing shift away from typical K-Drama tropes. Others admitted they were still processing the sudden development, wondering if her character was indeed lesbian, or if it was another bait.
Meanwhile, fans of Ha Ji Won also highlighted her acting, noting how convincingly she portrayed the emotional complexity leading up to the reveal. As discussions continue to gain traction, many are now tuning in to see how Climax will further explore the storyline, making it one of the most talked-about moments in the drama so far.
본인들 사이 밝혀질까봐 무서워하는 여자친구한테 이별통보 받았지만 나는 너만 괜찮으면 된다고 난 네가 너무 걱정된다고 눈물 닦아주고 안아주는 역할을 지금 하지원이 말아준다고? 컷은 짤렸지만 키스암시한거고..? 심지어 오피셜로 우정이 아니라 사랑이었다고 못박아주네 pic.twitter.com/GUMtajHMvj
