Trunk's Passionate Kiss Scene Leaves a Lasting Impression

The Netflix series Trunk (트렁크) has unveiled unreleased stills that evoke a deep emotional resonance. This mystery romance explores a peculiar marriage service revealed by a floating trunk on a lakeside, intertwining the lives of two individuals with their own secrets and loneliness. The innovative concept of 'temporary marriage' serves as a backdrop for a narrative where characters find love and redemption amidst their struggles. Writer Park Eun-young and director Kim Gyu-tae have successfully crafted dramatic characters and a compelling storyline that captivates viewers.

The performances of the cast, particularly Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo, shine as they portray the complex inner lives of characters trapped within the confines of marriage. Their powerful portrayals of 'No In-ji,' who becomes isolated due to marriage, and 'Han Jeong-won,' a man who feels profoundly lonely after tying the knot, have garnered critical acclaim. Global media outlets have praised Trunk for its emotional and narrative depth, with TIME Magazine noting it as a work that encompasses both.

Viewers have expressed their fascination with the series, commenting on its overwhelming atmosphere and the chemistry between Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo. The show has quickly climbed to the top of Netflix's global non-English TV rankings, reaching the top 10 in 13 countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Nigeria, and the UAE.

The newly released stills remind audiences of the poignant excitement and lingering emotions the series evokes. Behind-the-scenes images showcase Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo deeply engaged with the script, delivering performances that exceed expectations. The evolving relationship between No In-ji and Han Jeong-won is portrayed with intricate emotional depth.

Director Kim Gyu-tae's dedication is evident in the collaborative atmosphere on set, where he and the actors engage in constant dialogue to perfect each scene. Jung Yoon-ha's portrayal of 'Lee Seo-yeon,' who grapples with her desires and obsessions regarding her ex-husband Han Jeong-won, adds a new layer to the narrative. Additionally, rookie actor Jo Yi-gun, playing 'Yoon Ji-o,' and Kim Dong-won as 'Eom Tae-seong' contribute significantly to the show's mystery and tension.

Trunk, a sophisticated mystery romance that intertwines themes of authenticity and desire, was released on November 29.
