⁠The minds behind 'Queen of Tears' and 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' are bringing a new Netflix drama, The Twilight Between Us

The Twilight Between Us will show viewers the story of Mu-yeong, who belongs to the Kang family, and Su-ryeon, the only daughter of the Han family. The two families have been enemies for 100 years. Mu-yeong is known as the Demon of the North because of his fighting skills. However, he has spent most of his life away from the spotlight.

Su-ryeon, on the other hand, wanted to become Crown Princess. However, she couldn't become one. Their lives take them on a new journey when the king orders them to marry. Through their marriage, the king hopes that this will finally end the long fight between their families. The drama will explore how Mu-yeong and Su-ryeon adjust to their unexpected marriage.

Netflix explained the meaning behind the original Korean title, saying that the word 'hon' refers to both marriage and the time just after sunset, when day slowly turns into night. The streaming platform also shared that the series will bring together:

"Romance, fantasy and period drama with bold storytelling and unforgettable characters."
