[Edaily Reporter Gim Ga Yeong ] Actors Kang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun will star as a married couple in the Netflix series *Hon: Time of the Triangle* (*Hon*). *Hon* has garnered attention as a collaboration between director Kim Won-seok and writer Park Ji-eun. All eyes are on what kind of entertainment this dynamic duo will deliver.
On the 12th, Netflix announced the cast for “Hon.” “Hon” is a romantic action historical drama that follows “Muyeong” (played by Kang Dong-won) and “Suryeon” (played by Kim Go-eun), a man and a woman from rival families with a century-long feud, as they are forced to marry by royal decree.
Netflix stated, “‘Hon’ (婚) carries not only the meaning of marriage (結婚) but also refers to the ‘twilight hour’—the time just after sunset when the boundary between day and night blurs. At that time, when light and darkness become one and the distinction between ‘you’ and ‘me’ disappears, ‘Mu-yeong’ and ‘Su-ryeon’—descendants of two families that have been bitter enemies for a century—are forced to marry by royal decree,” they explained. “This command, issued by the king who had long witnessed the endless conflict between the two families, shakes everything to its core and sets off unexpected repercussions. “The story of ‘Hoon’ begins precisely at that moment when their destinies intersect,” he explained.
Kang Dong-won plays the role of Mu-yeong. “Mu-yeong” is the illegitimate son of the Kang clan and is known as the “Evil Spirit of the North.” Though he possesses exceptional martial arts skills and a noble character, he lives like a shadow in the north. Kang Dong-won, who has showcased his versatility across various genres in films such as *Temptation of a Wolf*, *Our Happy Time*, *Brothers in Arms*, *The Priests*, *The Outlaws*, and *1987*, has drawn significant attention for the new side of himself he will reveal in this film.
Kim Go-eun takes on the role of “Suryeon,” the eldest daughter of the Han family. After failing to be selected as the Crown Prince’s consort and being bound by a ban on marriage, “Suryeon” enters a new chapter in her life through an unexpected marriage to “Muyeong.” Kim Go-eun, who has delivered powerful performances in numerous works—including the dramas *Goblin*, *Yumi’s Cells*, *Little Women*, *Eun-joong and Sang-yeon*, and *The Price of Confession*, as well as the films *Eun-gyo*, *Chinatown*, and *Exhumation*—is generating high expectations for the presence she will bring to this project.
Director Kim Won-seok, who is helming the project, has previously demonstrated his meticulous directing style in the Netflix series *I Was Completely Duped* and the tvN dramas *Signal* and *My Uncle*. Screenwriter Park Ji-eun has penned numerous romance dramas that have garnered immense popularity both domestically and internationally, including tvN’s *Queen of Tears* and *Crash Landing on You*, as well as SBS’s *My Love from the Star*. Attention is focused on how *Hon*, the first collaboration between Director Kim Won-seok and Screenwriter Park Ji-eun, will unfold as a story.
Meanwhile, the release date for “Hon” has not yet been announced.
