There's a new series to put on your watchlist, K-drama fans!

Another binge-worthy series has been announced by the streaming platform, featuring actors Gang Dong Won and Kim Go Eun as the leads.  
The Twilight Between Us revolves around the heirs of rival houses, Mu-yeong (Gang Dong-won) and Su-ryeon (Kim Go-eun), and their forced marriage, which is meant to end a generations-long feud, but “soon spirals in unforeseen directions,” as per Netflix.  

The drama infuses drama and romance, and “begins at the moment Mu-yeong and Su-ryeon's fates become irrevocably intertwined, in that blurred space between light and shadow, self and other.” 

Dong Won is set to star as the Demon of the North, Mu-yeong, the illegitimate son of the House of Kang. His character is known for his martial arts skills and “noble heart,” and his arranged union will “alter the course of his destiny.”

Meanwhile, Go Eun portrays Su-ryeon of the House of Han, who failed to capture the Crown Princess title; she is now caught in a forced marriage with her family’s rival. Despite the new life she finds herself in, Su-ryeon is still a “woman who refuses to be subdued” in the union. 

Kim Won-suk, who has helmed K-drama hits like When Life Gives You Tangerines, Signal, and My Mister, is set to direct the series.

Park Ji-eun will pen the series, having written beloved dramas such as Queen of Tears, Crash Landing on You, and Legends of the Blue Sea. 

Dong-won is known for his dramatic and action-heavy roles in films Peninsula, Broker, and Uprising, and the series Tempest. Go-eun’s projects include hard-hitting yet diverse dramas such as Goblin, Yumi’s Cells, and Little Women, as well as the films Exhuma and Tune in for Love.  

The release date is yet to be announced by Netflix.
