Director Kim Young-jo continues to attend the National Assembly Library to direct the drama at the KBS2 press production briefing held at the St. in D-Cube City, Guro-gu, Seoul on the 18th"I'll try to make a work like a living textbook as much as possible" he said.
Munmu (scripted by Kim Ri-heon and Hong Jin-yi, directed by Kim Young-jo and Cho Sung-jun), which is scheduled to premiere in 2026, depicts a great story of unity in which Silla, a small country, finally united Samhan after crossing over Goguryeo, Baekje, and the Tang Dynasty. Director Kim Young-jo, who directed 'Hwarang', 'Jang Young-sil', 'Jingbi-rok', etc., and writer Kim Ri-heon, who was elected to the miniseries category of the KBS script contest in 2021, joined forces.
When asked if he had any concerns about distortion of history, director Kim continued to attend the National Assembly Library. Since I am a person who directs historical dramas, I should know all the contents, and I shouldn't tell you the distorted facts without realizing it. 'Literature' is confident that there will be no distortion of history"I will not paint China worse to show that Korea enjoys the joy of winning." It's a drama, so it's a bit dramatic, but I'll show it like a living textbook as much as I can. We will apply it thoroughly to the extent that the people can take the test right away after watching our drama."
