A new historical drama is heading straight to the global spotlight before it even airs.
JTBC’s Marble of God has been officially invited to the non-competitive Rendez-vous section of the 9th Cannes International Series Festival, where it will hold its world premiere.
Actors Ahn Bo-hyun and Soo-hyun are set to attend the festival in person, participating in pink carpet events and global audience sessions—placing the series directly in front of an international crowd.
Set in 1258, during the final stages of prolonged war against the Mongols, the story follows a high-stakes mission to retrieve a sacred relic known as the Gwaneum Boju. At the center is a princess willing to risk everything, as the narrative weaves together survival, belief, and sacrifice.
The early invitation signals growing global interest in large-scale Korean historical dramas, especially those blending traditional themes with cinematic storytelling.
As the news spread, reactions quickly followed, with viewers expressing curiosity about how a Goryeo-era narrative will resonate beyond Korea.
The Cannes International Series Festival will run from April 23 to 28 in Cannes, France.
