All eight episodes of the series were released onto Netflix on Friday (November 29).In a four-star review of The Trunk, NME wrote: “The Trunk’s excellence can largely be credited to Choi Seong-Gwon and Kim Ji-soo’s music.

Choi and Kim’s directions are purposeful and alive. The beginning is almost oppressive – between Jeong-won’s overpowering guitar compositions and the grating clinking of the chandelier in his home, the music feels claustrophobic.”“Jeong-won’s anxiety and doubt are mirrored in tracks where the singing resembles breathing patterns.

As Jeong-won and In-ji reach an understanding that blooms into something more, soft guitar seeps in, lending an airier vibe.
