The Trunk marks Gong Yoo’s return to the screen after a three-year hiatus following his role in The Silent Sea. This highly anticipated drama is expected to be one of the standout K-dramas of 2024. After a three-year wait, fans of the actor will be rewarded as Gong Yoo not only stars in The Trunk, but also in Squid Game 2, both of which will be released just a month apart—on November 29 and December 26, respectively.
Squid Game season 2 is set to wrap up what will be a remarkable year for Netflix in terms of K-dramas. The streaming platform has offered a range of original web series, including Parasyte: The Dark, Sweet Home 3, and The Frog, as well as licensed shows like Queen of Tears and Love Nearby. These titles represent some of the best K-dramas of 2024. However, despite this strong lineup, one of the most anticipated shows of the year, especially for Gong Yoo fans, is still yet to air—and its recently released trailer has only heightened the excitement: The Trunk.
The Trunk Has All the Ingredients to Be a Hit K-Drama on Netflix
With a talented cast, high production values, and a gripping premise, The Trunk looks set to be a late-2024 hit. Although 2024 has seen many great K-dramas, particularly in the romantic comedy genre, The Trunk stands out as a potential game-changer. Netflix has described the show as a “mystery acting” series, hinting that Gong Yoo’s return won’t be in the form of a typical romance. While the “fake marriage” trope has been explored in many K-dramas, The Trunk promises to add a darker twist to this familiar storyline, making it one of the most intriguing and unique offerings of the year.
