Netflix's new series 'Trigger' will be released following 'Squid Game Season 3.'
On the 25th, Netflix announced that the new original series 'Trigger' will be released on July 25. With 'Squid Game Season 3' set to debut on the 27th, the timing of the sequel 'Trigger' has generated anticipation.
'Trigger' is a gun action disaster thriller that depicts the story of two men who, for their own reasons, grasp guns amid the delivery of illegal firearms with unknown origins in Korea, a gun-free nation. In a chaotic world where safety devices have been removed, incidents that trigger the hearts of people and dynamic gun action provide thrilling tension.
This heightens expectations as action thriller masters Kim Nam-gil and Kim Young-kwang come together. Kim Nam-gil plays the police officer 'Lee Do' who takes up arms again to uphold justice, while Kim Young-kwang portrays the mysterious supporter 'Moon Baek' who assists Lee Do at the crime scenes. Additionally, the casting of trusted actors such as Park Hoon, Gil Hae-yeon, and Kim Won-hae amplifies hopes for the show's realism. Above all, director Kwon Oh-seung, who garnered attention at the Fantasia International Film Festival with his film 'Midnight', is directing and writing, raising expectations for the birth of a unique genre piece.
Meanwhile, the recently released intense teaser poster and teaser trailer have amplified curiosity. Lee Do (played by Kim Nam-gil) and Moon Baek (played by Kim Young-kwang) face a box containing firearms of unknown origin. The phrase written above, 'Firearms have been delivered to Korea, a gun-free nation,' signals the beginning of the chaos that is about to hit them. Notably, the contrasting expressions of the two men increase curiosity about their choices to grasp the 'gun' for different reasons.
The accompanying teaser trailer captivates attention with an immersive experience that doesn't allow viewers to look away. Behind the thought-provoking phrase, 'Everyone has a trigger in their heart,' the sound of gunfire resonates. Following this signal, dozens of bullets and guns are discovered everywhere. An intriguing fact is that firearms of unknown origin are being delivered through parcel service to various locations. In a world where conflict also becomes a source of income, illegal firearms are spreading, heightening the sense of crisis among those who have acquired guns. Amid unexpected chaos in Korea, a gun-free nation, Lee Do begins to chase the truth of the incidents.
Here, Moon Baek's question, 'What would happen if everyone had a gun in Korea? Isn't that intriguing?' tightens the tension. Director Kwon Oh-seung describes 'Trigger' as 'a story where things everyone has imagined at least once become reality,' stating that 'it presents guns from a different perspective than in existing Korean films and dramas, making the firearm an essential element of the story.'
