01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

Noh In-ji works for NM, a secretive matchmaking company that arranges contract marriages for wealthy clients: one year of marriage, for a price, with rules and no feelings allowed. Her latest assignment is Han Jeong-won, a lonely music producer still haunted by his first marriage, who agrees to the contract because he has nothing left to lose. Their one-year marriage begins coldly, two strangers sharing a house and a secret. Then a trunk is discovered in a lake, and inside it is a body connected to the matchmaking service itself. As the police investigate, In-ji and Jeong-won are pulled into a mystery that reaches into their own pasts, their former marriages and the company that brought them together. The Trunk premiered on Netflix on November 29, 2024, in eight episodes, starring Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo. It is a stylish, moody mystery about marriage as a contract and the feelings that refuse to stay in one.

04 / A closer look

The Oxfea take.

A trunk washes up in a lake. Inside it: a body and a marriage.

A MARRIAGE. A BODY. A SECRET.

Why you'll get hooked

  • Seo Hyun-jin plays Noh In-ji, an employee of a matchmaking service that arranges contract marriages.
  • Gong Yoo plays Han Jeong-won, a music producer trapped in a lonely marriage.
  • Based on Kim Ryeo-ryeong's novel, eight episodes on Netflix.

Oxfea Score: 7.3/10 — Worth your weekend. Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun-jin are both superb, and the contract-marriage mystery is stylish — but the story is colder than it is gripping, and the ending leaves too much unsaid.
