The Trunk

Read the pageturning Korean feminist thriller for fans of KIM JIYOUNG BORN 1982 and CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN - soon to be a major Netflix Original TV Series starring Gong Yoo from SQUID GAMES and Seo Hyun-jin Meet Noh Inji: thirty years old, with five wedding rings so far, and she''s never once been in love. When Inji takes a job at Wedding & Life, the popular matchmaking service, she never imagines role will be with NM, their secretive marriage division that rents out ''field husbands and wives'' to their wealthiest clientele for a limited time. Just like a real marriage, Inji''s assignments involve a wedding, some sex and a bit of housework, there is even a special helpline in case of any DV. It''s all tailored exactly to the client''s desires - no legal battles, no fights, no emotional baggage. In no way is Inji interested in finding real love, despite everyone trying to convince her otherwise- her brazen neighbour Granny, her flirtatious best friend Shi-jeong, and her failed blind date, Tae-seong. Then one of Inji''s old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year. Soon Inji''s own dark past will begin to unravel - as well as the sinister underbelly of the NM''s management team, who will stop at nothing to preserve their reputation - and that of their clients.
