Netflix’s latest Korean thriller Trigger is off to a blazing start.
The action-packed series, which dropped on Friday, has quickly captured the attention of both domestic and international viewers. Within just three days of its release, Trigger racked up an impressive 2.9 million views, landing at #4 on Netflix Tudum’s Global Top 10 (Non-English) TV chart as of July 30th. The show has also claimed the No. 1 spot on Korea’s Top 10 Series list and is currently charting in the Top 10 across 20 countries worldwide.
The buzz isn’t just numbers—critics and fans alike are sounding off with rave reviews. The South China Morning Post noted, “The show posits this hypothetical scenario, but also suggests that the way to fix this social ill is by having an easy-on-the-eyes police officer like Do parachuting in to ask armed and angry people on the verge of going postal how they feel.”
Online, viewers are pouring in with praise: “It’s too good—I literally couldn’t sleep,” “Binged all 10 episodes in one night,” “This isn’t just gun vs. gun action,” “That line at the end of Episode 3? Insane. And Kim Nam Gil’s face? Unreal,” “The car chase scene was wild. Total thrill ride,” and “That moment when Moon Baek dual-wields guns? Iconic.”
With Kim Nam Gil and Kim Young Kwang delivering gripping, emotionally charged performances and dynamic action sequences that go beyond typical shootouts, Trigger has emerged as a must-watch for thriller fans everywhere.
