On November 12, Netflix confirmed the production of the series "The Twilight Between Us," which has already drawn buzz for uniting director Kim Won-seok and writer Park Ji-eun, and officially unveiled its starring lineup featuring lead actors Gang Dongwon and Kim Goeun.
"The Twilight Between Us" is a romance-action period drama depicting the story that unfolds when Muyoung and Sooryeon, a man and a woman from two families locked in a century-long feud, are wed by royal command. The Korean title's "Hon" carries a double meaning, signifying both marriage (婚) and the "hour of twilight" (昏), the time just after sunset when the boundary between day and night blurs together.
Gang Dongwon takes on the role of Muyoung, an illegitimate son of the Gang family known as the "demon of the north." Possessing exceptional martial arts prowess and an honorable character, he has lived like a shadow in the north, but after his marriage, he encounters a new destiny and is set to showcase intense action and a dramatic emotional journey.
Kim Goeun portrays Sooryeon, the only daughter of the Han clan. Having been bound by a royal marriage ban after falling short in the selection for Crown Princess, Sooryeon is wed to Muyoung from the rival house, yet she is a multi-dimensional character endowed with inner strength that refuses to surrender to fate, alongside a bright personality.
Above all, the collaboration between this trusted creative team captures keen attention. Director Kim Won-seok, who proved his delicate directing in the Netflix series "When Life Gives You Tangerines" and acclaimed dramas such as "Misaeng," "My Mister," and "Signal," takes the helm. Writer Park Ji-eun, who penned mega-hits like "Queen of Tears" and "Crash Landing on You," writes the script, heralding the birth of a well-crafted historical drama spanning romance, action, and fantasy.
