Trigger – K-Drama Episode 10 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
A New World Trigger Episode 10 starts with Lee Do and Moon-baek at a café enjoying a meal together. Moon-baek asks Lee Do about his childhood experience. He also asks Lee Do if he thinks about taking revenge. Lee Do says that finding the guy who broke into their house and shooting him is not worth it. Revenge is not always the right choice, especially when it destroys someone. Does the nurse pull the trigger? The nurse reaches a breaking point when her mother calls to ask about her. She has been working night shift for weeks, and the nurses still bully her. She takes the gun and heads out, determined to end her oppressors. However, she is distracted by the riots erupting in the square. She sees the image of Lee Do and the child and decides not to use the gun. Instead, she hands it to the authorities when the citizens voluntarily surrender their firearms. What happens to Moon-baek? Moon-baek organises a gun legalisation rally. Those supporting the legalisation and those against are extremely tense, and the atmosphere at the rally is heated with arguments. Moon-baek drives a lorry full of guns into the rally and starts handing out free guns. He is determined to show Lee Do that when given a chance, the people will choose violence, instead of Lee Do's belief that they will choose the morally right thing. He is determined to crash Lee Do's belief in a gun-free country and that guns lead to destruction. In his view, guns empower the people. At the protest, Moon-baek is shot, which sparks the riots as the protestors start shooting randomly. Moon-baek collapses to the ground, but it is unclear whether he shot himself to achieve his goals or if someone else shot him. However, he does not die, but at the end of the episode, he is in the hospital in a coma. What happens to Lee Do? Lee Do leaves Hyun-sik's burial and heads to the Free Guns' protest. Moon-baek calls him to a room, and gives his speech about his disappointing high moral ground. Lee Do insists that guns are not the answer. They will not lead to a new utopia as Moon-baek claims, but will only plunge the country into destruction. Moon-baek leaves him held at gunpoint by his men when a truck drives into the protest to hand out free guns. However, Lee Doo easily subdues the men holding him at gunpoint and follows Moon-baek outside. Lee is determined to take down Moon-baek. However, the chaos intensifies, and Moon-baek drops smoke bombs. Lee chooses not to pull the trigger as a single gunshot would intensify fear, causing the people at the protest to shoot indiscriminately. Lee Do hesitates. When chaos erupts at the rally, he drops his gun and runs to protect a little boy stuck in the middle of the chaos. He embraces the boy, shielding him from the bullets. His image of him embracing the boy wins the hearts of the citizens. He chose to save humanity over his self-interest. How does the series end? The ending shows that Moon-baek survived and was admitted to the hospital. However, his chances of survival are still slim given that he lost a lot of blood and has a history of cancer. Meanwhile, Jake decides to replace Moon-baek, sending someone to end his life. Jake's philosophy is to spend a dollar to make five, but Moon-baek has been a total disappointment. The country re-establishes its gun-free status when the citizens hand over the guns to the authorities. Lee Do keeps his job as a police officer. He is content with his life and now takes care of the little boy he saved during the riot. Is there a possibility of a second season? A blonde woman enters Moon-baek's hospital room with a gun. With Jake's plan to set up a new plan in motion, will the woman replace Moon-baek in South Korea and continue the plan to bring guns into South Korea? This leaves room for a possible season 2. The Episode Review This Netflix K-drama gave us a lot to mull over. What exactly do we consider justice? Are guns the problem, or is it human beings? Throughout this show, we have seen different conflicts. In some cases, we could almost understand why these people chose to pull the trigger. There is only so much pain and suffering humans can take at the hands of each other. For example, take the school shooting incident. Most of us could relate to Gyu-jin and Yeong-dung. Even though we don't support their choices, we know the pain Seong-jun caused in their lives. While Moon-baek was in the wrong, one can't help but wonder if he could have turned out differently if he hadn't been abused as a child. The whole nature vs nurture discussion comes in here. Whether we admit it or not, we sometimes inadvertently create monsters by hurting people. This is why it is important to treat others with respect and try to live honourably. Most conflicts in this show were caused by people's bad attitudes towards each other. It doesn't help that the justice system is broken. People's mental health is declining, and many have no moral compass or remorse. We also have to talk about Lee Do. Unlike Moon-baek, he chose a different path. A path of healing and protecting. Even so, society tested his patience every day. Still, he endured and persevered. His character is commendable. What are your thoughts on Trigger?
