Netflix’s latest series “Trunk” is set to premiere worldwide on November 29. This highly anticipated drama stars Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun-jin, and is based on Kim Ryeo-ryeong’s novel, known for its unique storytelling and bold themes. The mystery-melodrama is about a hidden marriage service, where two individuals find themselves in an unconventional marriage as secrets unravel.
“Trunk” is about the story of an unusual marriage tied to a mysterious trunk that appears near a lake. The show explores the complexities of relationships, love, and loneliness through the perspectives of its two lead characters, Han Jeong-won (Gong Yoo), a man who feels isolated even within his marriage, and Noh In-ji (Seo Hyun-jin), a woman who feels alone after marriage. Both characters confront their hidden desires and personal losses, offering viewers a layered narrative of human emotion and connection.
The creative team behind “Trunk” combines the talents of director Kim Gyu-tae, known for Our Blues and It’s Okay, That’s Love, and writer Park Eun-young, who co-wrote Hwarang. Together, they bring a compelling blend of suspense, romance and introspective storytelling to the screen.
The recently released teaser poster captures the tension between Jeong-won and In-ji. The poster shows In-ji entering Jeong-won’s space, with both characters staring at each other with empty, guarded expressions, highlighting their shared solitude. They stand on a cold spiral staircase, separated by distance, and an elegant but precarious chandelier adds to the suspenseful atmosphere. The caption reads, “Real and fake, everything entwined in a secretive marriage”, hinting at the mysterious story awaiting viewers.
Fans of Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun-jin are eager to see the chemistry between the two stars as they bring their characters’ emotional journeys to life. “Trunk” is set to explore themes of love, loss, and the search for fulfilment in complex, often flawed relationships.
