"Trigger" Ignites Netflix Korea, Tops Trending List in 24 Hours

In a remarkable feat, the newly released K-drama "Trigger" has soared to the top of Netflix Korea's Trending List within just 24 hours of its premiere on July 25, 2025. The show's gritty plot, raw chaos, and terrifying consequences of holding guns in a country where firearms are strictly prohibited have intrigued and captivated the audience.

The intense action scenes and thrilling theme have kept viewers on the edge of their seats, with many praising the show's unique approach. One viewer commented, "This is the first time I've watched a K-drama and felt the villain is just as compelling as the main character, making it hard to choose, and I kinda just want to make them friends."

Directed by Kwon Oh-Seung, "Trigger" delves into the question of how people would react if someone maliciously distributed guns in a society where they are heavily restricted. The drama explores the motivations and decision-making processes of individuals who choose to pick up firearms, a concept that sets it apart from traditional action-oriented K-dramas.

As the show continues to captivate audiences, it has even surpassed the popularity of blockbusters like "Squid Game 3," cementing its status as one of the most buzzed-about K-dramas of 2025.
