Netflix has released the first official teaser trailer and poster for The Trunk, an upcoming South Korean mystery thriller starring Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo. Based on Kim Ryeo-ryeong’s novel of the same title, the story of The Trunk follows a secretive marriage service accompanied by a mysterious trunk. The series, which Netflix describes as a "high-class mystery melodrama", is directed by Kim Kyu-tae (Our Blues, It’s Okay, That’s Love) and written by Park Eun-young (Hwarang).

The story features Noh In-ji (Seo Hyun Jin), an employee at NM (New Marriage) who finds herself deeply alone despite her work of living with a “contract husband” every year, and Han Jeong-won (Gong Yoo), who enters into this mysterious contract marriage in an ironic attempt to save his previous marriage. Netflix went on to say that The Trunk "offers a glimpse into the series’ exploration of the complex emotions of characters involved in the “marriage” — love, compassion, obsession, desire, loneliness, and emptiness — and portrays the various depths of their relationships."

The first teaser trailer for The Trunk introduces the "contract couple" trying to get through a loveless marriage, guided by a manual. There's also a hint of Han Jeong-won's previous relationship with his ex-wife, making viewers wonder what happened in their past. As they try to make their roles work and the secrets that hold them, what truths will be revealed with this contract?

The description of the trailer reads: "A secret marriage service is uncovered when a trunk washes up on the shore, revealing the strange marriage between a couple in the thick of it all." Watch the first teaser trailer for The Trunk below:

The poster features Noh In-ji entering Han Jeong-won’s home with a strange trunk, set against a backdrop of a spiral staircase and a chilly and luxurious atmosphere. It also features the words: "Truth and lies / Wrath and longing / A Marriage Entangled in Secrets"
