On December 6, during an interview for the Netflix series “The Trunk,” actress Seo Hyun-jin responded with laughter to Gong Yoo’s compliment that her acting was “too intense,” saying: “I take it that’s a compliment?”
He added, “Gong Yoo said it’s not intense, but it’s just as intense. I’ve always behaved like this. I’m happy when the actors and directors I work with give me feedback. I want them to know that I respect them and that I have learned a lot from them.”
Seo Hyun-jin, who worked with Gong Yoo for the first time, shared: “At first I didn’t know how he would behave, but I was amazed to see his new sides. He has a face that sometimes looks lonely and has such a masculine expression, which I really liked.
She also talked about their on-screen romantic chemistry. Seo Hyun-jin said, “As I get older, I feel like the romantic scenes get creepier and creepier, but when we’re shooting, I think to myself, ‘I have to do this.’ Since the overall atmosphere of the show is not romantic, when such a scene comes, I feel uncomfortable and shy.
Seo Hyun-jin mentioned a memorable scene where his character confesses: “I want to sleep with you.”
He said, “Gong Yoo said that scene was difficult. I liked In-ji’s response. It’s rare to hear a response like, “I’ll keep that in mind” when someone confesses something. It seemed to represent In-ji’s character perfectly.”
“The Trunk,” released Nov. 29, tells the story of two people who carry their own wounds and loneliness and come together to love and save each other through a “contractual marriage.”
The series is based on the novel by Kim Ryeo-ryeong, the series is directed by Kim Kyoo-tae, known for “Our Blues” and “It’s Okay, That’s Love”, and written by Park Eun-young, known for “Hwarang. ”
In “The Trunk”, Seo Hyun-jin plays No In-ji, an employee of the NM contract marriage company. Meanwhile, Gong Yoo plays Han Jeong-won, who feels deeply alone after his wedding. One day, a mysterious trunk is recovered from a lake. This leads them into a whirlwind of secrets behind the NM company.
