If anyone who watched The Trunk knows what that genre of music that sometimes plays as the BGM is called—the sort of keyboard-y instrumental 80s ish moody sound—please let me know! I really love that stuff and never know how to search for it!

The soundtrack to Paradise Killer is just about only that too, if that’s any help.

You have some good ones there! Not my favourite but I watched #TheTrunk in a single sitting so it captured my interest. I suppose I'll eventually see what the Squid Game fuss is about. Goblin is a fascinating story.
I LOVED the first 2 episodes of #WhenTheStarsGossip!! It's far too silly to be taken very seriously but as is often the case, it's layered and there's serious intermixed with the silly. LMH is a delight!

@whoosh

Hmm, taking things slow as I have started my reading challenge.

Watched up to and including episode 2 of #SquidGame season 2

Still working my way through #TheTrunk

Going to let a few more episodes air before watching #WhenTheStarsGossip

Rewatching #GuardianTheLonelyAndGreatGod aka Goblin

Day 23: An innovative drama that I watched in 2024.

For a drama aired in 2024, I would choose #TheTrunk

For a rewatch, I also binged #SquidGame to get ready for season 2 in a couple of day's time.

#Day23 An innovative drama you watched in 2024

More than innovative, I found #TheTrunk atypical in the K-drama world. Though it's not one of my favorites, it doesn't sugarcoat violence or sex and it does show everything.

It's an unusual premise for sure with excellent acting and a surreal story. I watched it as an 8-hour movie so it was clearly entertaining. Still, I forget most of it now and wouldn't rate it as highly as many others.

@whoosh I wasn't thrilled by the synopsis on Viki or MDL so I didn't want to watch it.
After your review I'm putting it on my watchlist!

(2024 - Netflix 8 1:03 eps)

Although the story is languid, the characters are so dysfunctional that you reel from one shock to another. The contrast is excellent. What act or thought makes someone unworthy of love? How do you demonstrate love? Another ending that after consideration is perfect, although initially it felt out of place.

The Trunk (1 / 2 posts)
(2024 - Netflix 8 1:03 eps)

A divorced wife whose ex-husband still loves her applies for a new wife for him from a contract marriage company that provides 1-year contracts. The new couple slowly gets to know each other, but unresolved past traumas arouse suspicions & jealousies & crazy things begin to happen. The synopsis on MDL is wrong again - yes, there is a mystery, but that is not the story & neither is the romance.

Warning - sex, drugs, & suicide are depicted.

The pacing, aesthetics & sound create a sense of isolation fitting the emotionally damaged characters we meet. They all carry baggage (the trunk) that makes their connections to others extremely tenuous. They use contracts, drugs, other people, & avoidance to deal with their problems instead of facing them. The acting is amazing, with some profound dialogue to make us think about relationships differently.

@KDramaQn

I just finished episode 3 & I'm hooked too. It's so bizarre!

#kDrama #TheTrunk #트렁크

#kdrama #TheTrunk

I don't want to jinx anything, given my thoughts on the 2024 shows that I have access to, but oh I have a good feeling about this drama!

Episode 1 and I am hooked so far. I mean, come on, Gong Yoo is in the house.

We started watching #TheTrunk last night on Netflix. It's so interesting and intriguing. I'm not minding too much about being confused about what's going on.

And Seo Hyun-jin is in the series, too. Both are usually quite brilliant. I really hope the story is good as well. #TheTrunk

I was like "OMG, YES, SOMETHING NEW WITH #GONGYOO!". And then it's this weird thriller/crime/psychological drama thing. It might be brilliant but I prefer my Gong Yoo more in a romantic drama. Although I get it that it's boring for an actor. #TheTrunk

Is there already an adopted term for Mastodon users and some of the main features? If not, I humbly suggest any and all of the following:
#1. We collectively refer to ourselves as ‘tuskers’
2. We refer to the federated feed as ‘the trunk’ #tuskers #thetrunk
3. we adopt ‘for your trunk’ from #TikTok #fyt
