KBS2's upcoming historical drama Sword & Silence is drawing attention for its use of artificial intelligence (AI), with the production team revealing that the technology played an important role in creating dangerous battle scenes.
On November 12, the cast and production team attended a press conference at The Link Seoul Hotel, where chief producer Lee Ho explained how AI was used to bring the large-scale historical drama to life.
Speaking about the production, Lee Ho revealed that AI technology was used extensively throughout the series, particularly in scenes involving major battles.
“A lot of AI technology was used in Sword & Silence. Rather than saying AI technology is already complete, I think it is more accurate to say that it continues to develop,” he explained.
He added that the production took approximately a year and a half to plan and film, during which AI technology continued to improve.
“Even during that time, the technology kept advancing, so whenever new technology became available, we also made use of it,” he shared.
According to the producer, Sword & Silence features three major battles, making AI particularly useful for scenes that would be dangerous or difficult to film realistically.
“To put it simply, there are three major battles in the drama. We actively used AI technology as much as possible for dangerous scenes and scenes that needed to look realistic,” Lee Ho said.
He added, “I think viewers will be able to notice it when they watch the broadcast.”
Actor Kim Kang Woo, who attended the event alongside the cast, also shared his experience with AI technology in filmmaking.
“Last year, I filmed an entire movie using AI technology. But even in that short time, the technology has improved further,” he said.
He continued, “AI seems to keep learning and improving its abilities. I think viewers can look forward to it.”
The upcoming historical drama follows leaders who risk everything for victory amid centuries of warfare and political conflict involving Korea's Three Kingdoms.
The series stars Lee Hyun Wook, Jang Hyuk, Kim Kang Woo, Jung Woong In, Kim Do Hyun, Baek Sung Hyun, and Choi Ye Bin.
With AI being used to support its large-scale battle sequences, Sword & Silence will give viewers a chance to see how the technology is being applied to historical television productions.
The 28-episode historical drama is scheduled to premiere on November 14 at 9:20 PM KST on KBS2.
