Chong Zhao rejected genuine love and caring of Fu Ling, that's his own lose (it broken my heart💔), she maybe very evil & potent but what do we expect her to be, she was raised by the evil sneaky guy so she had to survive. Chong Zhao on the other hand is a pain in the a$$ ... He's undecisive, weak and foolish man, he's only self-righteous that's it.
There's two type of love triangle. #1.the one that's only as side-storyline & #2. The one hold on to the main plot. And this drama seems to follow #2 (from ML & FL side respectively), what a bummer. Ep.1 &2 are okay and the romance looks interesting not too bland. The cliffhanger at ep.2 is out of no where, good thing this drama end at ep.12, I'm sure every problems of misunderstanding could be solved clearly around ep. 5 & 6 then another secondary problem will be established but it's a soft one. ML is wholeheartedly exist only for her. FL wants her independent & wish to live the way she personally want with her getting the ML as a bonus.
My goodness! The cliffhanger in ep.4 definitely very romantic but my question is, will the ML&FL do it the thing they about to do? I'm not too sure, seems too early for ep.4, ep. 5 or 6 will inevitably happened what the viewers need. For now we'll just have to wait for next week. This drama is too fun to watch, they balance very well, both personal relationship & office work
WOW... the ML is awesome and very competent while the FL is smart & attractive. watching odd episodes (i.e 1,3,5...etc) its very peaceful and fun because even episodes (i.e. 2,4,6...etc) inevitably end in a very cliffhanger situations especially when you watched during airing time it's very anxious to wait another week. This drama is well written and very enjoyable, so far its the BEST KDRAMA of 2025
I complete this drama because of Gong Yoo but Hyun Jin is great too. The title 'The Trunk' sounds suspense full of mysteries but imo the main obstacles in the drama was the instability of everything, Romance is unstable, the ML & FL were unstable, their objective was unstable. The plot itself definitely unstable. It's exhausting to watch after ep. 2 but I complete it nicely. This drama bgm mostly annoyed me, too loud & sudden for director vision. Netflix original content always best when it comes to violence/adult theme genre, it's rare to find an original Netflix of a successful Rom-Com. Anyway this drama is Mid...
I feel like this is a reverse gender storyline, I mean I usually saw a drama where the ML is CEO and the FL could be his coWorker or secretary then she must be there for his needs with strict rules. In here the ML is perfect at everything, he just a single father, that's his only weakness... FL is great too, with two episodes already launched, I'd say it has great start will well written chemistry. Hope it will not disappoint me
Just finish ep.2, the Queen has alot of despute to deal with and I hope from ep.3 her problem will start solving a bit by bit because from the look at the cliffhanger of ep.2, another chaotic moment about to take place.
There's so many things the predecessor surpassed this season 2, Season 1 is full of mysteries, intense violence & I feel like a participant in the game itself because it mainly focus from the POV of No.456 (the main protagonist). This season has very weak story with dull mysteries... Even the main antagonist was on plain site like a poisonous snake and we just wait when he'll bite when everyone gave their trust. The intense level in this season is higher than season 1 because the players doesn't get second chance not like they came back and don't care whether they die or not, this season's players who want to leave couldn't quit because of the additional manipulation techniques of No.001 the main antagonist. This season has no ending, it just need sequel in the future. No.380 was my fav player yet she died unconditionally.
Netflix style always involved nudity & violence so this one is no different... It has good character development where Greedy & Hypocrisy exist in every characters. Gong Yoo performance just a small cameo but he delivered a great appearance in the drama.
This drama is very different, the plotHole & PlotArmor walk on the same track of the plot... Both are simultaneously fuel the storyline for the ML & FL so they can experience ups & down of their relationship. Sounds pretty exaggerate but I respect the Romantic sequences, the writting was not bad at all, it may be far to be the best drama of 2024 yet it still hooked everyone to stay interest till the end. This is why there's some viewers dissatisfied with the logical decision in the drama but most of the viewers see's it as an opportunity to observe it to be masterpiece at its own craft of screenplay. Nice drama, hat-off to the ML & FL chemistry & performance, they deserve a wider recognition with a bonafide awards.
Ep.12 = Warfare?! Now that's a huge shift
