Netflix released the first teaser and poster of the much-awaited K-drama The Trunk, featuring Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin. On October 30, the streaming giant dropped the teaser video, revealing the release date of the mysterious melodrama. Directed by Kim Kyu Tae, the upcoming K-drama is based on Kim Ryeo Ryeong’s novel of the same name.
The Trunk revolves around the life of Noh In Ji (played by Seo Hyun Jin), an employee of NM (New Marriage), which arranges short-term marriage contracts for clients. Despite having a job where she gets to live with a ‘contract husband’ every year, Noh In Ji feels isolated and lonely. Her life takes a turn when Gong Yoo’s character, Han Jeong Won, enters into a contract marriage with her in order to preserve his previous marriage.
As the teaser video begins, Noh In Ji is seen walking with a huge trunk with her and entering a house while Han Jeong Won’s voice in the background asks her, “Do I refer to you as my wife? Is that how this works?” The duo then embark on their one-year contract marriage, guided by a manual. The plot thickens when Jeong Won’s ex-wife, Lee Seo Yeon, played by Jung Yun Ha, congratulates him on his new marriage. Meanwhile, she tells In Ji, “Please be happy. I may be punishing Jeong Won, but I’m also giving him time off.”

The poster of the upcoming K-drama featured Noh In Ji entering Han Jeong Won’s house with a striking trunk while the latter stood on the spiral staircase. This sets the tone for a cold atmosphere marked by a sense of hidden secrets between the duo. Both characters are seen with stoic expressions, highlighting the underlying tension between them. The tagline of the poster reads, “Truth and lies, wrath and longing. A marriage entangled in secrets.” The suspenseful thriller is set to drop on Netflix on November 29.
