Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun to Lead Netflix's 'The Twilight Between Us' From the 'Tangerines' Director and 'Queen of Tears' Writer
Netflix has greenlit 'The Twilight Between Us', a romance-action period drama directed by Kim Won-suk ('When Life Gives You Tangerines') and written by Park Ji-eun ('Queen of Tears'), starring Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun.
Two of Korea's biggest names are teaming up for a Netflix period epic. Netflix has greenlit 'The Twilight Between Us', a romance-action period drama starring Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun, the streamer announced on Nov. 12.
The series reunites a heavyweight creative team: director Kim Won-suk, known for 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', 'Misaeng: Incomplete Life', 'Signal' and 'My Mister', and writer Park Ji-eun of 'Queen of Tears', 'Crash Landing on You' and 'Legend of the Blue Sea'.
'The Twilight Between Us' follows Mu-yeong and Su-ryeon, heirs to two houses locked in a century-long feud, who are forced into marriage by royal decree. The king intends the union to end generations of conflict, but it soon spirals in unforeseen directions, according to Netflix. The word 'hon' in the Korean title carries a double meaning, evoking both marriage and the twilight hour just after sunset.
Gang Dong-won plays Mu-yeong, the illegitimate son of the House of Kang, who carries the title 'Demon of the North' and lives in obscurity despite his exceptional martial skill. Kim Go-eun plays Su-ryeon, the only daughter of the House of Han, who is bound by a royal marriage ban after failing to become Crown Princess.
Netflix says the series is coming soon; no premiere date has been announced.
