Netflix confirmed the very exciting news that Seo Hyun-jin (Why Her) and Gong Yoo (The Silent Sea) will be headlining their new romance Trunk. Adapted from a novel by the same title, the original is written by the acclaimed author Kim Ryeo-ryung, who is particularly well known for her early works – Punch and Thread of Lies – that were later made into films.
I initially thought the title was referring to a car trunk, but it sounds like we’re dealing with some kind of luggage trunk that is one day discovered by a lake. Said trunk then becomes our story’s catalyst, unraveling the secrets behind our main pair’s strange marriage as well as the covert operations of the NM company.
This company is where our heroine In-ji (Seo Hyun-jin) is employed. As a premium match-making service, they specialize in finding your perfect soulmate, with just a tiny amendment to the traditional wedding vows. Life is short as it is, so why wait until death do us part when you can sign a one-year contract instead. In-ji, for instance, has already ticked off four marriages on her list of life’s milestones and is now on number five with Jung-won (Gong Yoo).
With any new relationship, though, it takes time to get comfortable with each other and music producer Jung-won has his own emotional baggage to deal with as well. Owing to tragedies in his past, our hero struggles with anxiety and loneliness – in addition to still missing his former wife Seo-yeon. Ironically, Seo-yeon was the one who signed him up with NM, which is where Jung-won first meets In-ji.
Still in the planning stages, Netflix’s Trunk will be directed by PD Kim Kyu-tae (Our Blues, Live) with scripts penned by Park Eun-young (Hwarang).
