The drama "Munmu" is set to deliver a gripping narrative through stories unfolding during the process of unifying the Three Kingdoms.

KBS 2TV's new historical epic "Munmu" (Responsible Producer Lee Ho / Screenplay by Kim Ri-heon and Hong Jin-ji / Directed by Kim Yeong-jo and Go Sung-jun / Produced by K-EAST and Monster Union), scheduled to air its first episode at 9:20 p.m. on Saturday the 14th, depicts a desperate and lonely epic of leaders who stake everything in pursuit of a single victory amid wars that lasted for 600 years and upheavals within the Three Kingdoms. As public interest in historical epics heats up ahead of the premiere, the "Munmu" team has revealed key points from the production team that are expected to be highlights of the drama.

◆A Suffocating Battle of Wits Erupts: Fierce Diplomatic Warfare Based on Political Acumen

The various nations appearing in "Munmu" each face unavoidable dangers. Silla is confronted with Baekje's relentless offensive, while Baekje is also reaching its limits after consuming massive military power attacking Silla. Goguryeo has seen its regime overturned by a coup led by Yeon Gaesomun (played by Jang Hyuk), and the Tang Dynasty's ambition is boiling over as Emperor Taizong Li Shimin (played by Yang Hyun-min) seeks revenge for the failed invasion of Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty era. Compared to these powers, the relatively weaker state of Silla places Kim Chun-chu (played by Kim Kang-woo), who possesses outstanding political sensibility, at the forefront to conduct high-level diplomatic warfare. Other nations also send envoys, secretly probing each other's intentions and forming alliances in a fierce diplomatic struggle. Anticipation is building as to what kind of entertainment this tense game of cat-and-mouse will bring.

◆The Inevitable Explosion of Inter-National Conflict: The Spark of War

Nations placed under competing interests, including Silla and Baekje which have long opposed each other over territory, as well as Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty seeking to command the world, ultimately get swept into the vortex of bloody war. The Tang Dynasty, which led a million-strong army to invade Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty era only to suffer a bitter defeat, launches a preemptive strike on Goguryeo under the ambition of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to establish merit across the realm. Yeon Gaesomun also leads numerous troops into battle, resulting in the "Battle of Jupil Mountain." Silla fights the "Battle of Maeso Fortress" against the Tang Dynasty, which seeks to swallow the Korean peninsula, by allying with remnants of Goguryeo and Baekje. The various battles fought at stake for the fate of nations are expected to double the viewing pleasure.

◆Diverse Tactics Reflecting the Distinct Characteristics of Each Nation

Soldiers from Silla, Goguryeo, Baekje, and the Tang Dynasty roam the battlefield using strategies and tactics that reflect the distinct characteristics of their respective nations. Silla actively pursues an alliance with the Tang Dynasty to repel attacks from Goguryeo and Baekje, going further to lay the foundation for the unification of the Three Han. Baekje joins hands with Goguryeo to corner Silla on all sides while launching a surprise attack on Dae-yeo Fortress, which was a military stronghold of Silla. Goguryeo uses strategies that read the vast plains and mountainous terrain to confuse enemies, while the Tang Dynasty aims to gain an advantage in war by utilizing large-scale invasion forces and highly mobile cavalry. Attention is focused on the story that will be created as their survival strategies collide.

An official said, "'Munmu' is expected to depict fierce strategic maneuvering rising amid a tense battlefield and the passionate survival stories of its characters. Please look forward to the first broadcast of 'Munmu,' which contains the great history written by heroes of chaotic times."
