Netflix is expanding its Korean drama catalogue with The Twilight Between Us. This historical romance stars Kang Dong Won and Kim Go Eun. Filming is already underway, bringing together two leading actors and an experienced creative team.
Beyond its cast, the production stands out for involving talent behind several internationally recognized Korean television series. Its story combines an arranged marriage, a longstanding family rivalry and an unexpected romantic journey.
The Twilight Between Us brings together two major Korean stars
Netflix has officially confirmed production on its upcoming period drama. Previously known under the working titles Soul and Hon, the series now moves forward under its definitive name.
Kang Dong Won and Kim Go Eun will lead the production as Mu-yeong and Su-ryeon, respectively.
Their characters belong to opposing families whose rivalry has lasted for a hundred years. However, a royal intervention forces them into a marriage intended to resolve the longstanding conflict.
Rather than beginning with a conventional romance, the series places family obligations at the center of their relationship.
Furthermore, the forced marriage soon takes unexpected turns, complicating the king’s original intentions.
The Twilight Between Us features the talent behind Queen of Tears
One of the production’s most notable elements is the partnership between director Kim Won Suk and screenwriter Park Ji Eun.
Kim Won Suk’s directing credits include Misaeng, Signal, My Mister and When Life Gives You Tangerines.
Meanwhile, Park Ji Eun has written several prominent romantic K-dramas. Her previous projects include My Love from the Star, Crash Landing on You and Queen of Tears.
Their collaboration brings together experience in character-driven storytelling, emotionally complex relationships and romantic drama.
Additionally, five production companies are involved in bringing the project to Netflix:
- Studio Dragon.
- Studio AA.
- Culture Depot.
- Baram Pictures.
- Imagyners.
These creative credentials help explain why the upcoming historical romance stands out among Netflix’s future Korean productions.
Full confirmed cast of the Netflix period drama
Alongside its leading performers, the production features several confirmed supporting cast members.
The announced cast currently includes the following nine actors:
- Kang Dong Won as Mu-yeong.
- Kim Go Eun as Su-ryeon.
- Kim Shin Rok.
- Huh Joon Ho.
- Bang Hyo Rin.
- Choi Hyun Wook.

Further character details remain unknown for the supporting performers. Consequently, the relationship between Mu-yeong and Su-ryeon remains the main focus of the available story information.
When will the new romantic K-drama premiere on Netflix?
Although filming is already underway, Netflix has not announced an official release date.
According to What’s on Netflix, the historical romance is currently expected to premiere in either 2027 or 2028.
Netflix’s presentation of its Korean programming slate in January could provide additional information about the intended release window.
However, the number of episodes also remains unconfirmed.
In the meantime, viewers interested in Korean period dramas have other upcoming Netflix productions to look forward to. These include Tantara, scheduled for December 2026.
For now, The Twilight Between Us has already established its central premise, leading cast and creative team.
Its remaining mysteries concern the release schedule and how its century-long family conflict develops into an unexpected romance.
