Right now you can watch The Trunk in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 61 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Seo Hyun-jin leads a cast that carries the story without ever feeling mechanical. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The Trunk is worth clearing space for. At its heart, The Trunk understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. 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. Credit to Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. It first aired in 2024. The Trunk is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in The Trunk. Obsession is the obvious comparison, but The Trunk earns its own place alongside it. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Seo Hyun-jin's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years later. If you have been looking for something to fill the gap left by a recently finished story, this is a reliable answer.

The Trunk wrapped up in 2024, created by Kim Kyu-tae — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
