Trigger

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.

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.

This is quite an entertaining show, just treat it as a fictional film and do not question how or why it could happen if it is in real life.

The two leads are both excellent, though not your usual good looking Korean leads. It is however a good change of scenery though.

The bullying culture in Korea is rampant, and the incompetence of the police force somehow depicts the situation almost accurately as we can see from the Kim Soo Hyun/Garosero incident, and the Lee Sun-kyun suicide, among others.

I have to admit, somehow it is satisfying to have a gun and just off that person who inflicts so much pain on the victims. Fortunately, it is a fiction. But it did let viewers think carefully how we should act and behave as a decent human being, be more sensitive to other people's feeling and stop the bully culture.

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.

Isn't a bad show, the action is solid, the characters are there, and the lead actor is genuinely talented and nailed his role. But there's something missing. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but the series just didn't resonate with me emotionally or leave a lasting impression. It's one of those shows I watched, thought "okay, that was fine," but I wouldn't rewatch it or recommend it enthusiastically. Good performances, decent pacing, just lacking that something to make it memorable.
