Actress Jung Yoon-ha has captured the attention of viewers with her overwhelming presence in Netflix‘s ‘Trunk’.
The Netflix series ‘Trunk’, which was released on the 29th of last month, is a mystery melodrama that depicts a secret marriage service that comes to light due to a trunk that floats up on the lakeside and the strange marriage story of the man and woman inside it. Actress Jung Yoon-ha plays the role of ‘Lee Seo-yeon’, the ex-wife of Han Jeong-won (played by Gong Yoo), and gives a passionate performance.
Jung Yoon-ha created her own Lee Seo-yeon with the acting skills she has built up over the years. Jung Yoon-ha delicately portrayed Seo-yeon’s incomprehensible actions and endless desires, such as directly requesting a temporary marriage from her ex-husband, and aroused viewers‘ curiosity about Seo-yeon’s story.
Jung Yoon-ha not only dominated the screen with her appearance and presented an overwhelming presence, but also added three-dimensionality to the character with her low-pitched voice and intense gaze. Jung Yoon-ha maximized the immersion of the drama by creating a tense atmosphere with not only her ex-husband Han Jeong-won, but also her current husband Yoon Ji-oh (played by Jo I-gun) and her ex-husband‘s wife Noh In-ji (played by Seo Hyun-jin).
Jung Yoon-ha expressed Seo-yeon’s desire and anxiety, which become more intense with each episode, with detailed acting, and focused the attention of viewers by densely portraying Seo-yeon‘s fluctuating emotions.
In particular, Jung Yoon-ha’s passionate acting captivated not only Korea but also the world. Many overseas media outlets, including those in the US, UK, and Australia, shed light on the character of Lee Seo-yeon, played by Jung Yoon-ha. American media Collider commented, “She portrays a cool and complex character with excellent emotional expression, adding immersion to the main events,” and influential British media The Guardian gave Jung Yoon-ha high praise, saying, “She goes beyond the typical K-drama character and delicately expresses the story‘s central conflict.”
Jung Yoon-ha filled the production with breathtaking acting and properly impressed viewers with her presence through ‘Trunk’. Actress Jung Yoon-ha, who previously met the public through numerous works including the movie ‘Atonement’ and the Disney+ original series ‘Casino’, captivated viewers with her impactful performance in ‘Trunk’, and expectations are rising for Jung Yoon-ha’s future activities.
