Trigger OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Kim Nam-gil and Kim Young-kwang¡¯s action thriller K-drama

Trigger OTT Release Date: What happens when a country that has lived gun-free suddenly finds itself flooded with firearms? South Korea, known for its tight control on weaponry, becomes the setting of a terrifying ¡®what-if¡¯ in Trigger, a gritty action thriller that asks questions no one has dared to before. And it¡¯s all set to unfold globally on July 25, when the series premieres exclusively on Netflix.

Plot and premise of Trigger

Trigger throws viewers into a version of South Korea they¡¯ve never seen before, one where guns start mysteriously appearing in civilian hands, and chaos breaks loose. Unregistered weapons are being delivered across the nation in unmarked boxes. Shootings erupt in cities where even armed robberies are rare. At the centre of this breakdown is Lee Do, played by the ever-intense Kim Nam-gil.

He¡¯s a former military sniper who has traded war zones for detective work, but this case drags him right back into a battlefield, one that¡¯s unfolding in his own streets. Tasked with tracing the origin of these firearms and stopping a surge in violent crime, Lee Do¡¯s investigation takes him down a rabbit hole far deeper than he imagined.

Then comes Moon Baek, portrayed by Kim Young-kwang. On the surface, he¡¯s laid-back, almost playful, but there¡¯s an edge that never quite disappears. His involvement in the spreading gun epidemic is murky at best and dangerous at worst.

The faces behind the action

Kim Nam-gil brings raw emotions to Lee Do, something fans of The Fiery Priest and Song of the Bandits will recognise. Kim Young-kwang, meanwhile, steps into Moon Baek¡¯s shoes with the charm and complexity he showcased in Call It Love and Somebody. But the series wouldn¡¯t hold together without a confident hand behind the camera. That¡¯s where Kwon Oh-seung comes in.

Known for his tense thriller Midnight, which earned international acclaim at the Fantasia International Film Festival, Oh-seung writes and directs Trigger.
