Get ready for some thrilling excitement! Netflix is set to release its highly anticipated drama "The Trunk," and the newest teasers are already creating a buzz among fans.

Adapted from a gripping novel, "The Trunk" unravels a captivating tale centered around a clandestine marriage service that features an enigmatic trunk at its core. The plot follows Noh In Ji (played by the mesmerizing Seo Hyun Jin), who works at NM (New Marriage) and faces the profound loneliness that comes with her unusual job of living with a 'contract husband' each year. Meanwhile, Han Jeong Won (the charismatic Gong Yoo) enters into this contract marriage not for love, but in an ironic bid to safeguard the remnants of his previous relationship.

The recently unveiled poster starkly represents the complex dynamic between the “contract couple,” showcasing their physical closeness yet emotional distance. Their forlorn expressions as they gaze away from each other provoke intrigue regarding their untold backstories. The subtle light illuminating their figures amidst the shadows symbolizes the transformative impact they may have on one another. The striking tagline reads, "Truths and lies, wrath and longing. A marriage entangled in secrets."

In the teaser, a mysterious murder case tied to a trunk emerged unexpectedly at a lake, which adds an edge-of-your-seat mystery to the plot. After their marriage contract begins, Han Jeong Won is unexpectedly linked to this case when questioned about the trunk's owner, to which he cryptically responds, “My wife used to use it.” The exchange escalates when a detective probes further, “Which wife?”

Initially, Han Jeong Won finds himself pondering the purpose of this façade of marriage; however, he soon discovers a flicker of interest for Noh In Ji, causing him to confront his own emotions. “She makes me uneasy,” he muses—a line that hints at the brewing complexities of their relationship.

The plot thickens with the arrival of Han Jeong Won’s ex-wife, Lee Seo Yeon (played by Jung Yun Ha), who probes into the status of Han Jeong Won and Noh In Ji’s faux marriage. Noh In Ji, sensing tensions, directly challenges, “Aren’t you here because you’re worried the fake relationship might become real?”

As the teaser unfolds, the stakes rise when Han Jeong Won boldly declares, “We might be destined to be together,” deepening the anticipation surrounding the evolution of their contract marriage. As mysteries of the trunk and its unsettling background linger, an unknown man poses an electrifying question to Han Jeong Won: “Do you feel Noh In Ji has become your real wife or something?”

With its intriguing premise and stellar cast, "The Trunk" promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Set to premiere on November 29, this drama is bound to create waves in the world of streaming.

In the meantime, fans can indulge in Seo Hyun Jin’s compelling performance in "Why Her?" and relive the charm of Gong Yoo in "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God." Don't miss out on this electrifying romantic mystery!
