Trigger: Strong Start, Weak Finish
Trigger starts strong with good acting especially the first few episodes. Woo Ji Hyun shines as a student showing why ordinary characters are given those guns—highlighting their personal struggles and moral dilemmas. This setup makes you care about their choices.
The gang internal struggle later ruins it, shifting to pointless violence and losing focus on ordinary people’s motives.
A plus is how the series exposes gun sellers profiting from chaos.
The ending feels unrealistic and unsatisfying, lacking depth or buildup.
I would have preferred a deeper look on how guns would affect the society, through government measures similar to COVID-19’s lockdowns, mask mandates and fear-driven policies, panic buying of essentials .
Exploring more of governments imposed strict controls. This approach might have better reflected the ripple effects of gun violence on both personal lives and public behaviour.
