Gang Dong-won, Kim Go-eun to Lead Netflix’s Period Romance-Action Drama ‘The Twilight Between Us’

Netflix is adding yet another prestige Korean drama to its production slate, greenlighting The Twilight Between Us, a period drama that’s an intriguing mix of romance and action. The show comes from filmmaker Kim Won-suk (When Life Gives You Tangerines, Misaeng: Incomplete Life, Signal, My Mister) and writer Park Ji-eun (Queen of Tears, Crash Landing on You, Legends of the Blue Sea).

Per Netflix, “The Twilight Between Us follows Mu-yeong and Su-ryeon, heirs to two houses locked in a century-long feud, forced into marriage by royal decree — a union intended by the king to end generations of conflict, but one that soon spirals in unforeseen directions.”

The drama will star Gang Dong-won as Mu-yeong, “the illegitimate son of the House of Kang, who carries the ominous title “Demon of the North” and lives in obscurity despite his exceptional martial skill and noble heart.” He will star opposite Kim Go-eun as as Su-ryeon, “the only daughter of the House of Han. After failing to become Crown Princess, Su-ryeon finds herself bound by the royal marriage ban — her union with Mu-yeong an unforeseen twist of fate.”

Gang’s previous credits include the films The Priests (2015), A Violent Prosecutor (2016), Master (2016), and Peninsula (2020) and the TV series Tempest (2025). Kim is known for the TV series Cheese in the Trap (2016), Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016–2017), Yumi’s Cells (2021–2026), and Little Women (2022) and the films Coin Locker Girl (2015), Hero (2022), and Love in the Big City (2024).

Additionally, Netflix has confirmed production on a new Korean reality competition series that is a spinoff of Culinary Class Wars. Vocal Class Wars, also set for a 2027 release, is, per Netflix, a “vocal survival competition [that] pits “White Singers” — established artists whose names alone define a genre — against “Black Singers,” challengers who erase their names and identities to prove their worth through voice alone.” One imagines they may tinker with the terminology used in the show when it is launched globally.

Vocal Class Wars reunites Kim Hak-min, the producer behind Culinary Class Wars, and Park Sung-hwan, the producer behind Just Makeup’s beauty-survival format, following their previous collaboration on Sing Again.
