Netflix Greenlights Series ‘The Twilight Between Us,’ Starring Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun, Directed by Kim Won-suk and Written by Park Ji-eun

〈The Twilight Between Us〉, which has drawn attention for bringing together director Kim Won-suk and writer Park Ji-eun, and for casting Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun, is set to reach audiences around the world on Netflix. 〈The Twilight Between Us〉 is a romance-action period drama about Mu-yeong and Su-ryeon, a man and a woman from families that have been bitter enemies for a century, who are forced to marry by royal decree.

The title 〈The Twilight Between Us〉​plays on “hon,” which means marriage in Korean and also refers to the twilight hour just after sunset, when day and night meet. In that moment, when light and darkness become one and you and I can no longer be distinguished, Mu-yeong and Su-ryeon, from two families that have opposed each other as enemies for a century, are ordered to marry by the king. The decree, issued by a king who has watched the two families’ endless feud, upends everything and sets off unforeseen repercussions. The story of 〈The Twilight Between Us〉 begins at the moment their fates intersect.

Gang Dong-won, who has shown a new side of himself in every project while moving across genres including action, melodrama, thriller and fantasy, takes on the role of Mu-yeong, signaling yet another transformation. Mu-yeong is the illegitimate son of the House of Kang, known as the Demon of the North. Though gifted in martial arts and noble in character, he lives like a shadow in the north. Gang is expected to bring dramatic depth not only to the action but also to Mu-yeong’s emotions as he faces a new destiny after marriage. Kim Go-eun, who has brought characters to life across genres and eras with sensitive portrayals of their emotions and lives, plays Su-ryeon, the only daughter of the House of Han. After failing to be selected as Crown Princess, Su-ryeon is bound by a ban on marriage and faces a new chapter in her life when she unexpectedly marries Mu-yeong. Kim is expected to bring dimension to the bright-spirited Su-ryeon, who marries into her family’s enemy but has the strength to defy fate.

The series is directed by Kim Won-suk, who has built rich emotional narratives and characters in the Netflix series 〈When Life Gives You Tangerines〉​ and the dramas [Misaeng: Incomplete Life], [Signal] and [My Mister]. The script is by Park Ji-eun, whose vivid characters and storytelling have earned wide acclaim in dramas including [Queen of Tears], [Crash Landing on You] and [The Legend of the Blue Sea]. Together, they expand the worlds of romance, fantasy and period drama.
