Netflix greenlights Gang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun period drama

Feuding clans forced to marry

This series tracks Mu-yeong and Su-ryeon, the heirs of two families caught in a feud lasting a century. The king arranges their marriage by royal decree to end generations of conflict between the clans. In this role, Gang Dong-won portrays Mu-yeong, the illegitimate offspring of the House of Kang who is called the Demon of the North. Kim Go-eun portrays Su-ryeon, the only daughter of the House of Han who failed her bid for Crown Princess.

Creative team and production details

Director Kim Won-suk helms the project after directing When Life Gives You Tangerines and Misaeng. Writer Park Ji-eun adapted the story following her work on Queen of Tears and Crash Landing on You. The Korean title relies on a syllable that means both marriage and twilight, hinting at the plot twist. Netflix also confirmed a singing survival competition called Vocal Class Wars set for launch in 2027.

Reality show format explained

Vocal Class Wars pits White Singers against Black Singers in a new musical battle. Established artists compete as White Singers while challengers perform without names as Black Singers. Producers Kim Hak-min and Park Sung-hwan reunite for this project after working on Sing Again. The production team expects unpredictable twists in this next class war between the two camps.
