Netflix's original series Trunk (written by Park Eun-young, directed by Kim Kyu-tae) is a story surrounding a suspicious trunk that suddenly rises to the lake one day, depicting mysterious events and emotional waves that take off the veil along with hidden secrets. It is a secret marriage where real and fake are intertwined, and it deeply and densely captures mixed emotions in a mixed relationship. In particular, the unpredictable narratives and developments that go back and forth between the past and the present, and the emotional lines of complex and multifaceted characters are drawing attention from viewers and critics around the world.
Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo's acting transformation was also enthusiastic. Seo Hyun-jin played the role of a woman who became alone because of her marriage, and Gong Yoo played the role of a man who got married and became terribly lonely. Above all, the process of recovering and healing through Han Jung-won (Sharing) by Noh In-ji (Seo Hyun-jin), who chose "term marriage" as his job while feeling guilty and hurt after failing in his first marriage, and Han Jung-won, who repeated sleeplessness and nightmares every night due to the trauma of his childhood, saved himself through Noh In-ji.
In particular, the narrative and emotional line give a strange tremor in calmness rather than explosive. It was expected that the response would be greater in Korea than in foreign countries, but overseas viewers also showed interest in 'Trunk', giving a twist.

Symbolically depicting the characters' pent-up memories and unresolved pasts, the work encompasses both emotional and narrative depths."Seo Hyun-jin delicately expressed her complex inner self while Gong Yoo performed intense and delicate emotional performances," he praised for his work and acting skills.
In addition, NME mentioned that "Trunk" is visually overwhelming, and director Kim Kyu-tae's production weaves the narrative between characters like an elegant dance," and NDTV explores human relationships, trauma, and unresolved past outcomes as a psychological drama. Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo vividly portrayed the complex emotions and inner feelings of each character." India Today says "The two actors successfully captured the emotional weight.
