Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun to Lead Netflix Period Drama
Netflix has cast Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun as the stars of a new series, The Twilight Between Us. Variety reported the casting on 12 November 2026.
The show is a romance-action period drama. That means a love story set in an earlier era, with fight scenes sitting alongside the romance. The two leads play heirs to rival families who are married off by order of the king, even though their houses are at odds.
Gang Dong-won plays Mu-yeong, an illegitimate son of the House of Kang. Kim Go-eun plays Su-ryeon, the only daughter of the House of Han. The series is directed by Kim Won-suk and written by Park Ji-eun.
Netflix has not announced a release date. Viewers will have to wait for the streamer to confirm when the episodes will arrive.
The streamer has greenlit Vocal Class Wars, a singing survival competition, for a 2027 launch. "Greenlit" means the company has given the go-ahead for a show to be made and released. A survival competition is a contest in which performers are knocked out over a series of rounds until a winner is left.
For fans, the news is mostly about waiting. The casting is set, but the calendar is still blank. Anyone following the drama will need to watch for a date, while the singing show has a year attached but no month yet.
