Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin's new Netflix series The Trunk has been making waves, but not all reactions have been positive.

The drama, which explores complex emotions and secrets, has divided audiences with its portrayal of controversial topics.

The entire season of The Trunk dropped on November 29, and viewers have been quick to share their thoughts. The story revolves around a mysterious object, The Trunk, found on a lakeshore, which brings to light hidden secrets and emotional struggles.

Seo Hyun Jin plays No In Ji, a worker for a secret marriage service called NM, where she’s on her fifth marriage to Gong Yoo’s character, Han Jung Won.

Things get complicated when Han Jung Won’s wife, Lee Seo Yeon (played by Jung Yoon Ha), also uses the NM service for her own remarriage, which leads to explicit bed scenes involving Lee Seo Yeon and another character, Yun Ji Oh (played by Jo Yi Geon).

This, combined with Seo Hyun Jin’s character marrying five times as part of her job, has caused some mixed reactions among viewers.

Some people feel that the drama is glamorizing “prostitution”, with comments like, “It’s definitely prostitution”, and “Why is this business being exposed so openly?”

Others, however, argue that the series has a deeper meaning, saying things like, “It’s pure romance”, and “I really enjoyed the redemption story”. Some viewers admitted that they felt uneasy at first but grew to appreciate the show by the end.

In a recent interview on December 6, Seo Hyun Jin acknowledged the differing opinions, saying, “I knew there would be differing opinions. People who like it would really like it, but those who don’t might find it uncomfortable. The tone is dark, and the story doesn’t offer much relief.”

Gong Yoo also addressed the controversy, sharing, “I don’t even want to talk about the wording. It was shocking. I knew it would be polarizing, and I understand that. But I see the negative reactions as coming from a small part of the audience. There’s a clear intention behind the work, and many viewers understood it that way. It’s just a matter of perspective.”

Despite the controversy, The Trunk continues to captivate audiences with its deep themes and powerful performances.

Fans of both Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin have praised their acting, with many stating that the show gets better as it progresses.
