[OSEN=Reporter Ha Su-jeong] What kind of result will be produced by Kang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun, alongside a star-studded production team, in the upcoming project ‘The Hour of Hn’? Global fans are paying keen attention.
Netflix has confirmed the production of the series ‘The Hour of Hn: The Triangle of Time’ and unveiled the casting of Kang Dong-won and Kim Go-eun, drawing massive attention due to the collaboration between director Kim Won-seok and writer Park Ji-eun.
‘The Hour of Hn: The Triangle of Time’ is set to meet global viewers through Netflix. The romance action historical drama unfolds as ‘Muyoung’ and ‘Suryeon’, a man and a woman from rival families spanning a hundred years, are forced into a royal marriage by imperial decree.
The title ‘The Hour of Hn’ carries the dual meaning of marriage (ε©) and the ‘hour of twilight’ (ζ) when day and night overlap just after sunset. At that exact moment where brightness and darkness become one and identities blur, Muyoung and Suryeonβwhose families have fought for a centuryβare ordered to marry. This royal command shakes everything up and sparks unexpected ripples, launching the story at the exact moment their destinies cross.
Kang Dong-won, who has shown versatile faces across action, melodrama, thriller, and fantasy genres, takes on the role of ‘Muyoung’, foreshadowing another dramatic transformation. Muyoung is the illegitimate son of the Kang family and is known as the Northern Fiend. Despite possessing exceptional martial arts skills and character, he lives like a shadow in the north. Kang Dong-won is expected to portray not only action but also the emotional turbulence of Muyoung following his fateful marriage.
Kim Go-eun, who has delicately expressed characters’ emotions and lives across various genres and eras, plays ‘Suryeon’, the beloved daughter of the Han family. After being eliminated from the crown princess selection and bound by a celibacy ban, Suryeon faces a new turning point in life through her unexpected marriage to Muyoung. Viewers are eager to see how Kim Go-eun will bring dimensional depth to Suryeon, a bright and resilient character who refuses to bow to fate despite marrying her family’s enemy.
The series is directed by Kim Won-seok, who has densely built character emotions and narratives through hits like Netflix’s ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’, ‘Misaeng’, ‘Signal’, and ‘My Mister’. The script is penned by writer Park Ji-eun, renowned for expanding the boundaries of romance, fantasy, and historical drama through sharp characters and pacing in hits like ‘Queen of Tears’, ‘Crash Landing on You’, and ‘Legend of the Blue Sea’.
‘The Hour of Hn: The Triangle of Time’ will be released globally on Netflix.
Meanwhile, Kang Dong-won recently transformed into a 90s idol group leader in the film ‘Wild Things’, while Kim Go-eun showcased her lovely charm in the romantic comedy ‘Yumi’s Cells’ Season 3. This marks the first time the two actors are starring together, drawing massive interest in their fresh on-screen chemistry.
Writer Park Ji-eun returns with her first project in two years following her mega-hit ‘Queen of Tears’ starring Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won in 2024. Director Kim Won-seok is also partnering with Netflix once again, one year after ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’ starring IU and Park Bo-gum. High anticipation surrounds the powerful synergy of this first-time collaboration between writer Park Ji-eun and director Kim Won-seok.
