Ahn Bo-hyun and Claudia Kim's historical drama 'Marble of God' invited to Cannes Series non-competitive section… to debut before global audiences

JTBC's new drama 〈Marble of God〉 was unveiled at the Cannes International Series Festival (Cannes International Series Festival, hereafter Cannes Series). Lead actors Ahn Bo-hyun and Claudia Kim joined the local promotional schedule as the series began its push into the global market.

〈Marble of God〉 was selected as an official entry in the Korea Fiction lineup of this year's Cannes Series non-competitive 'Rendez-vous (RENDEZ-VOUS)' section. Accordingly, lead actors Ahn Bo-hyun and Claudia Kim completed the world premiere screening on the 24th (local time) in Cannes, France, participating together in major events including the official photowall, the post-screening Q&A (GV), and the pink carpet.

This production is a large-scale historical drama set in the Goryeo era. In 1258, as the war with the Mongols that had lasted 30 years was tipping toward defeat, it follows the heroic struggle of an escort unit that charges into battle in search of the nation's sacred relic 'Gwaneum Boju' and the story of an imperial princess trying to save them.

Ahn Bo-hyun stars as a key figure in the escort unit fighting desperately to protect the relic, while Claudia Kim plays the emperor's youngest daughter 'Wang-hee', and together they serve as the central pillars of the drama. Immediately after the local screening, during the follow-up post-screening Q&A, the two actors took questions from the audience about the characters' portrayals, the high-difficulty action, and the distinctive narrative of historical dramas, receiving positive reactions from roughly 300 industry figures and viewers.

〈Reborn Rich〉 director Jeong Dae-yoon and writer Jeong Hyun-min, who penned 〈Nokdu Flower〉 and 〈Jeong Do-jeon〉, joined forces on 〈Marble of God〉, which attracted attention with a star-studded lineup from the production stage. Having raised its global profile through the Cannes Series invitation, the project is scheduled to be released worldwide in the second half of 2026 via JTBC broadcast as well as Coupang Play and Amazon Prime Video.
