Actor Jang Hyuk transforms into Yeon Gaesomun, the autocrat of Goguryeo who blocked the great army of the Tang Dynasty.

In stills released on the 29th for KBS 2TV's new historical drama 'Mumwoo' (Screenplay by Kim Ri-heon and Hong Jin-ji, Directed by Kim Yeong-jo and Go Sung-jun, Produced by Kim Min-jun and Choi Yoon-seok, Assistant Director Kim Yong-man, Production by KeyEast and Monster Union), Jang Hyuk portrays the role of Yeok So-mun, Goguryeo's unparalleled war hero, showcasing a unique aura.

'Mumwoo' is a work that deals with the desperate and lonely epic of leaders who stake everything on a single victory amid wars lasting 600 years and upheavals within the Three Kingdoms.

In the drama, Yeon Gaesomun, born into a family that has held military power for three generations, rings out victory bells in numerous wars with his bravery and Taizan-like momentum, further expanding his influence.

When nobles who judged Yeon Gaesomun's unchecked dominance to be dangerous attempted to eliminate him, he displayed a cold and cruel side, seizing all power in Goguryeo. Now, Yeon Gaesomun's ambition to move beyond Goguryeo toward Silla becomes an obstacle that shakes the landscape of unification of the Three Kingdoms.

Jang Hyuk is set to vividly portray the historical figure Yeon Gaesomun, who spares no means or methods for victory, with his reckless gaze.

Furthermore, Yeon Gaesomun's composed attitude in the stills, despite blood splattering, proves that there is no mercy for those who stand in his way. Yeon Gaesomun, who takes burning ambition and iron-fisted rule of terror as his trademark, and Jang Hyuk, who portrays him, are expected to command the drama and deliver impact.

The production team of 'Mumwoo' stated, "Actor Jang Hyuk is demonstrating the power befitting a true 'historical drama master,' filling the set with a solid presence," and added, "We ask for your interest in how the character of Yeon Gaesomun, who will bring turmoil to Silla's unification of the Three Kingdoms, will come alive when it meets Actor Jang Hyuk's deep acting skills."

'Mumwoo' is scheduled to air its first episode in November.
