Mind that MA rating on Netflix
I'm writing this for those who --like me-- have latched onto kdramas because they enjoy watching a well-crafted story without being subjected to the barrage of smut and morally "progressive" agendas that litter American shows. The Trunk was a suspenseful, interestingly-directed psychological drama with a healing story at its core... and a couple borderline pornographic scenes that were unnecessarily graphic... and yet another sexual minority character portrayed as a victim. I wish the streaming services now dabbling in kdrama productions would let the genre be itself, rather than remaking it in the image of American shows that use sensationalized content to make up for sloppy storytelling.
