Netflix has released a trailer for its new mystery K-drama The Trunk, starring Gong Yoo (Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, Squid Game) and Seo Hyun-jin (The Beauty Inside, Why Her).
Based on the 2015 novel Trunk by Kim Ryeo-ryeong, The Trunk follows Jung-won (Gong Yoo), who enters a mysterious fixed one-year contract marriage with In-ji (Seo Hyun-jin), which is guided by a manual. They set up the marriage through NM Company, a contract marriage company where In-ji works as a contract spouse.
While Jung-won continues to miss his ex-wife Seo-yeon dearly, the couple eventually begin to get used to one another. One day, secrets about the marriage company begin to unravel after a mysterious trunk is recovered from a lake.
The new trailer opens as Jung-won and In-ji meet for the first time, while he asks her how the contract marriage works. The trailer also reveals that it was Seo-yeon who arranged for Jung-won’s second marriage, hinting at the couple’s strange relationship.
“The idea of marriage just disgusts me,” In-ji says when Jung-won asks if she enjoys her line of work. The Trunk premieres on the streaming platform on November 29.
In related news, Netflix has also released an action-packed new trailer for season two of its dystopian drama Squid Game. The upcoming season, premiering in December, will see the return of Lee Jung-jae, Gong Yoo and more to the hit series.
