It’s almost time to find out what’s in The Trunk as streaming giant Netflix heads towards year end 2024 with two big K-dramas on deck in totally different genres and tonality. First comes The Trunk with Seo Hyun Jin and Gong Yoo premiering November 29th, adapted from a novel of the same name. It’s a psychological thriller that has Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin entering into a contract marriage but not of the cohabiting hijinks that would be on deck if this was a rom-com. It’s moody and broody with Seo Hyun Jin delivering a shivery turn as a cold woman with a trunkful of secrets so it seems. This is a dream acting pairing for me but I’m not really in the mood for this genre ATM so let’s see if my tastes align when this arrives in a few weeks.
Preview for The Trunk:
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…
If Wang Xing Yue ever needs extra money he can be a professional dubber for…

I'm sat for this!
Can't wait to watch this drama. GongYoo is my favourite korean actor. Although I can't understand what the story is about no matter how many times I read the synopsis but since it's triller and Gong yoo in it, I'll be watching
Yeah, Gong Yoo is back in a drama!
It wasn't really the marriage contract trope I was expecting but both actors are great.
This is my most awaited drama for the remainder of the year. I expected it to be dark and broody - that was exactly what this was described to be from the start, but seeing it in action is so exciting!! So glad to have GY back!!
Please be good. i miss something good for seo hyun jin. Like the enjoyment i have when watching dr romantic and another oh ha young.
The trailer doesn't show much but I heard good things about the novel. Though I'm not getting my hopes up given the quality of recent Netflix originals.
P.S. The elephant in the room... SHJ is looking so frail and thin that I'm getting worried for her.
Her weight loss is troubling. It's already started since her last drama and she seems to have lost even more weight since then.
I truly hope she's getting treatment if it's a health related issue or eating disorder.
I feel like i have trouble watching when multiple episodes are dropped all at once, so I'm not sure if I'm going to pick it up. But I like how it takes an rom-com plot trope and make something eerie and mysterious out of it.
I anticipated for that drama for a year, but first trailer made me not expect too much. It looks a little too pretentious.
Well, I don't have much expectations but will watch it anyway.
Looks amazing from the get go. What I liked most about it from the day it got announced was the fact that it’s NOT romcom. I like thrillers and I love the mish mash of expected genre vs actual. Lots of anticipation in Korea of this. I think it’ll do very well but let’s see.
