Song Il-gook is returning to historical dramas after two years. He has been cast as Moo-hyul in KBS "The Kingdom of the Winds".
"The Kingdom of the Winds" is a remake of a comic by Kim Jin, and the role Song Il-gook plays is Jumong's grandson.
After last year's SBS "Lobbyist", he has been resting for marriage and personal matters. He had a hard time deciding his next drama.
He was deciding between "The Kingdom of the Winds" and a present-day drama, but he decided to comeback with a historical drama. A representative of the drama said, "It is fate that Song Il-gook gets to play Jumong's grandson as well. We went through many actors, but Song Il-gook is the right person for this role.
"The Kingdom of the Winds" will start filming in China in mid-June.
