2. What are the characters and plot of Trigger?

Lee Do (Kim Nam-gil) is a former sniper turned police officer who meets a mysterious man named Moon Baek (Kim Young-kwang) while chasing the mastermind behind a series of shooting incidents. Moon Baek suffered from human trafficking and organ trafficking in his childhood and becomes a key figure in a weapons organization called IRU, trying to create chaos in Korea. He distributes guns to the socially disadvantaged and promotes the distorted belief that “it is up to each individual to pull the trigger.” Lee Do confronts his past traumas and engages in a fierce confrontation with Moon Baek to prevent this situation.

 

 

3. What is the ending?

 

In the last episode, Moon Baek completely turns the gun protests in Seoul Plaza upside down and has a final showdown with Lee Do. In the end, Moon Baek is shot and falls into a coma. In the meantime, the citizens also realize the fear of guns and voluntarily return them one by one. In the ending, there is a scene where Lee Do holds a child instead of a gun, and the message that “empathy is stronger than violence” really hits home.

 

4. What is Moon Baek’s identity?

Moon Baek is a victim of organ trafficking who joined the IRU organization for revenge and his own social experiment. Abandoned as a child and raised in a hellish environment, he dreams of a strange equality of “a world where everyone has a gun” and turns Korea into a mess. His tragic past and twisted philosophy become the center of the conflict throughout the drama, and it is strangely understandable and creepy from the viewer’s perspective.

 

 

5. Is there any hint for season 2?

There is a brief scene at the end where the IRU organization is plotting their next plan, which raises the possibility of a season 2. In particular, since the scene where Moon Baek completely dies from his coma is not shown, fans are continuing to expect that “Moon Baek may return in season 2!”
