Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun to Star in Netflix's 'The Twilight Between Us'

Actors Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun will play husband and wife in a new Netflix series. In "The Twilight Between Us", the two play descendants of families that have been enemies for 100 years. A royal order forces them to marry.

Netflix confirmed the production on Nov. 12 and announced the casting of Gang and Kim Go-eun. Kim Won-seok, the director of "When Life Gives You Tangerines," will direct, and Park Ji-eun, the writer of "Queen of Tears," is writing the script.

The series is a romance action period drama. It follows a man and a woman from two families locked in a 100-year feud. The king has watched the old grudge between the two houses drag on. When he orders the pair to marry, their lives are turned upside down.

Gang plays Mu-yeong, an illegitimate son of the Gang family. Known by the nickname "Northern Demon," Mu-yeong is a skilled fighter with good character. Still, he lives like a shadow in the north. Now that he must marry into the family his own has hated for a century, the question is what he will choose to do.

Kim Go-eun plays Su-ryeon, the only daughter of the Han family. Su-ryeon was passed over in the selection of a crown princess and then barred from marrying under a royal ban. Her surprise marriage to Mu-yeong, a son of the rival house, gives her a new life. She is bright and tough, and a big part of the story is how she handles being forced into marriage.

Kim Won-seok directed Netflix's "When Life Gives You Tangerines," along with "Misaeng: Incomplete Life," "Signal" and "My Mister." Park's writing credits include "Queen of Tears," "Crash Landing on You" and "The Legend of the Blue Sea." The new series is the first romance action period drama the two will bring to viewers.

"The Twilight Between Us" will be released on Netflix.
