Netflix series 'The Trunk' explores complex relationships through a contract marriage

"The Trunk" is a new series on Netflix that explores a complex relationship through a contract marriage. Han Jeong-won, played by Gong Yoo, is drawn into a year-long arrangement with Noh In-ji after his wife, Lee Seo-yeon, forces the situation. The show contrasts Jeong-won's troubled past with his current struggles, using a mysterious trunk as a symbol of his emotional turmoil. The trunk rarely appears but represents deeper themes of denial and repressed feelings among the characters. Director Kim Kyu-tae combines elements of erotic thriller and horror, enhanced by a haunting score. The performances, especially by Jung Yun-ha as Lee Seo-yeon, add depth to the story, making "The Trunk" a visually striking and emotionally charged experience.
