Actor Kim Woo-dam is making a comeback to the small screen through the KBS historical drama 'Munmu'.

According to a StarNews report on the 17th, Kim Woo-dam has been cast as Gye Baek in the new KBS 2TV historical drama 'Munmu' (). This marks his first drama appearance since leaving his former agency, Hodu & U Entertainment.

'Munmu' is a work that depicts the great narrative of unification, where the small kingdom of Silla eventually overcame the powerful kingdoms of Goguryeo and Baekje, as well as the Tang Dynasty, to unite the Three Han regions into one. Major actors including Lee Hyun-wook, Jang Hyuk, Kim Kang-woo, Park Sung-woong, Jung Woong-in, and Jo Sung-ha have been cast in large numbers, drawing high expectations.

Gye Baek, portrayed by Kim Woo-dam, is a renowned general representing the late Baekje period, known for his loyal and upright character. He is well-known for the Battle of Hwangsanbeol, where he faced off against General Kim Yu-shin of Silla. In the drama, actor Park Sung-woong has been cast as Kim Yu-shin. A drama with the same title, featuring Gye Baek as the protagonist, was previously produced in 2011.

Kim Woo-dam left a strong impression playing Min Mu-jil, the younger brother of Won Gyeong (왕) (played by Cha Ju-young), in the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Won-gyeong', which concluded last February. Through this 'Munmu', he is taking on his second historical drama, and attention is focused on what kind of acting transformation he will show with the Gye Baek character.

Meanwhile, 'Munmu' is being produced with the goal of airing within the year as a 28-episode series. It is reported that approximately 30 billion won has been invested in production costs alone. The production team is preparing for a second location shoot in Mongolia on the 18th. By actively utilizing vast grasslands and natural terrain, the series is expected to capture large-scale battle scenes and military movement sequences with greater realism.
