Trigger is a must-watch show for fans of hypotheticals and thrillers. The show offers more than entertainment; it challenges viewers to reflect on the delicate balance of power and peace. Trigger is not about heroes chasing villains. It is about ordinary people. Broken, angry, desperate, finally given the means to act. The cast is satisfying to watch, the storyline is engaging and even relatable at times, and each episode offers some food for thought.
I recently finished watching a show that I really liked overall. The story kept me interested from the beginning to the end. Usually, when I watch shows, I tend to skip some scenes, especially if they are slow or if certain characters are not interesting. But this time, I didn't skip anything. Every part of the show felt important, and I actually enjoyed watching it fully. That doesn't happen very often, so it really says something about how good the show was.
Even though I liked most of it, I have to admit that I didn't enjoy the ending. It felt a bit off or disappointing. Maybe I expected something more powerful or emotional. Still, the rest of the show was strong enough that I don't regret watching it at all.
What made this show stand out for me was the plot. It felt new and fresh. I haven't seen many stories like this before, so it was exciting to see something different. The way the story was told was also creative and kept me guessing about what would happen next. That made it fun to watch.
I also liked the characters and how their stories were connected. Even the side characters had a purpose, and their scenes were not boring. That's probably why I didn't skip anything. It felt like every moment added to the overall story.
Compared to another show I watched called Good Boy, I think this one was much better. Good Boy didn't grab my attention in the same way. This show felt more unique and well-made. It's always nice to find something that surprises you in a good way.
Overall, even with the ending, I really enjoyed the experience.

I went into Trigger thinking it would just be a dark thriller, but it ended up being one of the most unsettling dramas I've seen in a while.
The whole premise - what happens when weapons become as easy to get as a phone - sounds simple, but the way the show explores it is anything but. It slowly peels back layers of fear, power, and desperation, and it made me think about how quickly things could spiral in the real world. It's not just about guns - it's about trust, control, and the terrifying idea that anyone could be capable of violence when given the means and the push.
The psychological tension builds quietly but intensely. You start asking yourself: What would I do in this world? Who would I become?
And I have to say, the actor playing the villain is perfectly cast. He has that unnerving presence - he doesn't overact, but every movement feels dangerous. I don't know how he does it, but he really owns these unhinged, chaotic characters in a way that makes your skin crawl a little.
I know some people say the premise of this show isn't realistic - that it's "too far-fetched" for weapons to suddenly flood into a country like this - and honestly, I get that criticism. But if you can accept the "what if" the show is built on, you'll be rewarded with a truly gripping and disturbing story.

"Trigger" is a courageous and thought-provoking drama that tackles sensitive issues with depth. Rather than offering simple thrills, it urges viewers to reflect on where violence comes from and why it is often overlooked. Some scenes may feel intense and unsettling, but their realism adds to the story's urgency.
Kim Nam-gil and Kim Young-kwang deliver layered performances, conveying emotional scars even in action-heavy scenes. This isn't just an action series-it's a psychological journey through humanity, responsibility, and trauma.
Though it may not be light entertainment, it rewards those who watch with understanding and empathy. "Trigger" reminds us that we should not judge stories on the surface, nor shy away from difficult conversations. It is a timely and important piece of storytelling.

Trigger doesn't break any new ground, but it still manages to hold your attention. The plot leans on familiar tropes, and while you won't find any major twists or genre-defining moments, there's a certain comfort in its predictability. The performances are solid, the pacing is steady, and the atmosphere fits well especially if you're looking for something to binge on a rainy day.
If you're in the mood for something straightforward with just enough tension and character drama to keep things moving, Trigger is worth a watch. It won't blow you away, but it won't leave you disappointed either.

Did you know
- GoofsAll of the firearms used in the show are airsoft guns, (real guns are banned in South Korea. As noted in the show.) The cast frequently hold them incorrectly, with the butt of the rifle off of the shoulder, or over the top of the shoulder. If these were real firearms they would suffer shoulder injuries holding them in this manner.
