Today (26th), at the production presentation held at Raum Art Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Netflix’s anticipated project, The Trunk, was unveiled to the public for the first time. This work depicts a mysterious marriage service that begins with a trunk floating by a lakeside and the unique marriage story of a man and a woman that unfolds within. Director Kim GyuTae and actors Seo HyunJin, Gong Yoo, Jung YoonHa, Cho YiGun, and Kim DongWon attended the event to share the deep stories of the project.

Director Kim GyuTae expressed great satisfaction with the synergy of the two leading actors, mentioning that it was “beyond expectations.” Seo HyunJin stated, “While playing the role of ‘Noh InJi,’ a woman who becomes alone through marriage, I explored the depths of my inner self.” Gong Yoo shared, “Through the character of ‘Han JeongWon,’ who lives a disconnected life due to past trauma, I aimed to express various relationships and love.”

The Trunk unfolds as a mysterious story that allows for multi-layered interpretations beyond a simple melodrama. Kim DongWon added tension with his diverse acting through the role of ‘Eom TaeSeong.’ Cho YiGun emphasized the pure charm of his character, saying, “I took on my first acting challenge with the role of ‘Yoon JiOh,’ a man learning about love through marriage.”

This drama explores the essence of true love through the unconventional setting of a marriage made by contract and manual. Director Kim GyuTae stated, “I wanted to evoke realistic empathy even within an unrealistic setting.” The Trunk is based on the novel of the same name by Kim RyeoRyeong and is drawing attention for its bold material and imagination. Alongside main actors Seo HyunJin and Gong Yoo, several actors, including Lee JungEun, Uhm JiWon, and Lee KiWoo, are set to make special appearances to add more strength to the work.

The Netflix series The Trunk is set to be released worldwide on November 29, raising expectations for its future developments. Anticipation is high for what new interpretations and emotions this drama will deliver.
