Actor Kim Kang-woo has transformed into Kim Chun-chu, who steps forward to protect Silla as it wavers amid a precarious political situation.

KBS 2TV’s new historical drama “Munmu ()” (Responsible Producer Lee Ho / Screenplay by Kim Ri-heon and Hong Jin-i / Directed by Kim Young-jo and Go Sung-jun / Produced by K-EAST and Monster Union), scheduled to air its first episode on November 14 (Sat.), is a work that depicts 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 this drama, Kim Kang-woo portrays Kim Chun-chu, a strategist equipped with exceptional diplomatic skills and political acumen. As the grandson of the deposed King Jinji, who faced checks from the Seongol (royal bloodline) faction, Kim Chun-chu enters the center of politics when Silla faces a critical crisis following the fall of Daeya Fortress to Baekje.

Kim Chun-chu, who possesses an extraordinary political sense, seeks to protect the nation in his own way under the conviction that “survival in the present is victory in the future.” Displaying a gambler’s temperament, he becomes the first person of Jin-gol (high aristocracy) origin to ascend to the throne (as King Taejong Muyeol, the 29th king of Silla) and moves toward the greater goal of unifying the Three Kingdoms.

In drama stills released by the production team on the 6th, Kim Kang-woo passionately portrays the character of Kim Chun-chu with a burning gaze and spirit. From battles engulfed in chaos to hair-trigger diplomatic scenes where a blade is at one’s throat, the stills fully capture Kim Chun-chu’s resilient demeanor that remains unshaken even in extreme situations. Anticipation is building for the image of Kim Chun-chu, completed by Kim Kang-woo’s distinctive weighty charisma, and his performance in “Munmu ().”

The production team of “Munmu ()” said, “Actor Kim Kang-woo is a dependable actor whose acting skills are beyond question, and he is portraying the character of Kim Chun-chu, who ranges from sharpness to gentleness, with his own unique color.” They added, “We hope that the moments of anguish and choice that the character of Kim Chun-chu faced while moving toward the goal of unifying the Three Kingdoms will deliver a profound resonance to viewers.”
