The Trunk (2024)

réservé à un certain public

Je n'étais visiblement pas la cible du drama. J'ai eu énormément de mal à m'y retrouver et surtout à me laisser transporter par l'ambiance particulière que la série propose. Je pensais apprécier n'importe quel genre, pourvu qu'il soit réalisé à la sauce coréenne, mais c'était avant de m'arrêter sur *The Trunk*. Amoureux des films noirs, ce drama est pour vous. Me concernant, je sais dorénavant que je suis en divorce avec lui.

Au-delà de tout ça, je salue la performance de tous les acteurs. Grâce au jeu qu'ils m'ont offert, j'ai pu passer un agréable moment (et c'était tellement en cohérence avec le reste).

Je me devais aussi de faire mes remerciements au chef décorateur qui a travaillé sur le tournage. Il a su transmettre l'ambiance pesante qui oppressait les personnages de l'autre côté de l'écran.

When an 8 episodes drama felt like a 16 episodes drama.

Contract marriage is one of my go-to genres but the way they did it here was not your typical contract marriage.

The plot : The ex-wife (with issues) planned for her ex-husband (also with issues) to marry other woman while she herself marries to another. Thus began their mutual toxic relationship in the drama until the ex-husband met now his new wife (who also had her own share of trauma) which after living together her presence slowly become significant in his life. Then after facing a series of incidents together, began their process of healing.

For an 8 episodes drama you would think just how hard it can be to finish one. But it took me 7 days to complete watching. Even watching in 2x speed still feel too long. Plot got repetitive especially in the first half. Just when I feel like things started to get interesting , we are back to 0 again.

This was me while watching,

Ep 1 : Feel like the longest 1 hour of my life.
Ep 2 : Watching my cat sleeping is better than watching this.
Ep 3 : Still feel like the longest hour ever in my life.
Ep 4 : Why I am still watching ....
Ep 5 : Now things are getting interesting.
Ep 6 : We getting somewhere..
Ep 7 : Urgh. Not this obsessive woman again .
Ep 8 : Okay...
