The Twilight Between Us: What Netflix Has Announced So Far

Netflix has greenlit The Twilight Between Us (혼: 삼각의 시간), a Korean period drama that mixes romance with action. Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun lead the cast, Kim Won-suk directs and Park Ji-eun writes. Netflix announced the series on November 12, 2026, in its newsroom post on The Twilight Between Us. The Korean-language version of the post gives the Korean title above.

The team behind the camera ties the new series to When Life Gives You Tangerines, Queen of Tears and Crash Landing on You. Here is what Netflix has confirmed, who is making it, and what is still unknown.

The setup

Two noble houses have been feuding for a hundred years. To end it, a royal decree orders their heirs to marry each other. Netflix says only that the arrangement soon goes in directions nobody planned. That is the whole premise so far, and we will not guess past it.

The leads and their characters

Gang Dong-won as Mu-yeong. Mu-yeong is the illegitimate son of the House of Kang, and people call him the "Demon of the North". Netflix describes a gifted fighter with a good heart who lives his life unnoticed.

Kim Go-eun as Su-ryeon. Su-ryeon is the House of Han's only daughter. She missed out on becoming Crown Princess, and a royal ban on marriage has held her ever since. Netflix says she will not be cowed, even when she has to marry into the rival house.

A spelling note, since searches differ: Netflix writes Gang Dong-won, and you will also see Kang Dong-won. If you know Kim Go-eun from The King: Eternal Monarch, our recaps of that drama cover episodes 1 to 5, where she plays Jeong Tae-eul.

The team behind it

Director Kim Won-suk. Netflix lists his credits as When Life Gives You Tangerines, Misaeng: Incomplete Life, Signal and My Mister. If you watched Tangerines, our When Life Gives You Tangerines recaps start with episode 1.

Writer Park Ji-eun. Netflix credits her with Queen of Tears, Crash Landing on You and Legends of the Blue Sea. You can revisit the first two through our Queen of Tears recaps and Crash Landing on You recaps, each of which opens with an episode 1 recap (Queen of Tears, Crash Landing on You).

What "hon" means

The Korean title begins with hon, and Netflix points out that the word works two ways. It is part of gyeol-hon, the Korean word for marriage. It can also mean twilight, the short spell after sunset before night sets in. The English title uses the second meaning, and the forced marriage in the premise matches the first.
