The poster shoot for the KBS 2TV epic drama 'Sword & Silence' has been revealed. The series tells the story of leaders who risk everything for victory amidst 600 years of continuous warfare and internal upheavals within the Three Kingdoms of Korea. This shoot was conducted to build visuals that symbolize the overall atmosphere of the work.

The decisive battle of the Three Kingdoms against the Tang dynasty army: Meaning in the poster

At the poster shoot, efforts were made to visually implement the core narrative of the work. The production team sought to convey the theme through a composition where the Tang dynasty army surges from the bottom while the Three Kingdoms block them from above. The cast focused on expressing the resolute will of the Three Kingdoms' leaders through their gazes and postures as they face the enemy.

In particular, collaboration with the makeup team took place to precisely show changes according to the characters' ages and situations. Detailed settings were added so that the characters could express different emotions and age groups. On set, work was carried out to highlight the individuality of the characters, such as emphasizing the clean-cut image of a strategist rather than a rough and wild appearance, depending on the character's personality.
