Trigger

"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 started off with so much potential, but then just devolved into nonsensical bs. The kind where you have to suspend ALL belief. There is absolutely NO WAY somebody is going to get that many guns into a country, before getting caught long before all hell breaks loose. I finished the series so YOU don't have to, because it just gets worse as it goes along. It ends up being completely irreconcilable. The action scenes were great and acting was decent, but the story just lacked any REAL credibility, in the wrap up.

I found this interesting and disturbing at the very same time. Interesting in that whether they were trying to express a personal or political point of view it really did bring an intense emotional response.

The disturbing part was not only the violence but also how people respond to bullying and hateful behavior.

Korean dramas lately have been replete with violence and bullying scenarios. If that is indicative of Korea or everywhere I don't know. What is both interesting and disturbing is that in nearly every scenario in this drama they behaved as if there were absolutely no other ways for them to get the perpetrators to stop or to see justice done.

As social issues, like bullying, for example professionals need to make sure options are known for children and adults to protect themselves safely.

Netflix's "Trigger" is a tense and immersive series that grabs your attention from the very first episode. The storytelling is sharp, the characters are well-developed, and the pacing never lets up. With its atmospheric visuals and strong performances, the show delivers suspense and intrigue without ever feeling predictable. If you enjoy psychological thrillers with clever twists, "Trigger" is absolutely worth your time.

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.
