The trailer for the much-anticipated Netflix K-drama The Trunk has finally been unveiled. The upcoming series stars Squid Game fame Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin in the lead. Directed by Kim Kyu Tae, The Trunk is based on the same-titled novel by Kim Ryeo Ryeong. The upcoming show centres around a lonely woman Noh In Ji (Seo Hyun Jin), who is an employee of the NM (New Marriage) organisation. The job demands her to live with a “contract husband" every year. Things change when Han Jeong Won (Gong Yoo) decides to take the help of the company to save his previous marriage.
The trailer opens with Noh In Ji fixing Han Jeong Won’s bow. She tells him, “I see your former wife recommended us to you." Soon they exchange vows and start their life as a “contract couple". One day, when a mysterious trunk is recovered from a lake, Jeong Won finds out that the NM is riddled with secrets and there is more to the firm than what meets the eyes. In an interrogation room, Han Jeong Won says that the trunk’s owner is his wife. To this, the police officer asks, “Which wife" indicating a complex situation.

At one point, Han Jeong Won asks Noh In Ji what’s the point of a fake marriage. She replies, “Maybe they wish to hide their loneliness so desperately, that they are willing to cling to a facade." The trailer shows Han Jeong Won missing his actual wife dearly but as the days pass by he grows close to Noh In Ji. The video is laced with several mysteries waiting to be solved while an eerie vibe makes up for a stunning visual treat. Emotional outbursts and heavy dialogues add an extra dose of flavour.
In the closing few seconds, Noh In Ji says, “The idea of marriage disgusts me." Contradicting her point, Han Jeong Won says, “Who knows? We might be destined to be together." Dropping the trailer on Instagram, Netflix wrote, “A secret marriage service is uncovered when a trunk washes up on the shore, revealing the strange marriage between a couple in the thick of it all."
The Trunk will be streaming on Netflix from November 29.
