After watching The Trunk, I went online to read a post/article on it. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the first half of the comments were about how boring and terrible the drama was and how they were all waiting for “When the Phone Rings.” (I genuinely don't know why people compare two unrelated dramas with completely different vibes. If you don't like a drama, then you don't. Period. I'm still going to watch When the Phone Rings, though. I hear it's really good. 😂) The second half were people who appreciated the beauty of the drama just like I did. I get it. It's not for everyone, just like every other drama out there. But me? I was hooked from start to finish. So, here's what I liked and didn't like about it (nothing major on this part).

What I Liked:

Character Development: The transformation of both Noh In Ji and Han Jeong Won was incredible. In Ji’s resilience and Jeong Won’s evolution from a damaged man to the man he grew to become. Their chemistry was palpable too.

The Themes: The drama delves into some serious themes like emotional trauma, toxic relationships, manipulation, healing, identity, and love. It tackled how people can be scarred by their pasts and how these scars affect their present.

Suspense and Pacing: The twists, especially surrounding the trunk and Eom Tae Seong, were good suspense. The tension between In Ji and Seo Yeon was great too.

Soundtrack: I have to give a shout-out to the soundtrack. They were great, and I’m already adding some tracks to my playlist.

What I Didn’t Like:

I wanted more surprises in how Seo Yeon’s character developed. Tbh, I don't think she really changed 🤷🏽‍♀️.

That accident that happened when Seo Yeon walked into traffic. I don't know. When is the kdrama industry going to get their accident scenes right?

So, yeah. That's it. I talked too much. LOL. But I highly recommend The Trunk for anyone who enjoys a mix of suspense, romance, and psychological drama.
