I love the one when they're in the pirate costumes. So adorable!
Have you seen some of Junwook's guitar covers. He's SO GOOD. I could watch/listen to him play guitar all day.

@raonah Me too! I have listened to Junwook's cover of Beautiful over and over again and I can't get enough of it!! ITS AMAZING <3

I just listened to Junwook's cover of Beautiful because I couldn't remember if I had heard it before. It's so good. I also found this one that I'd never heard before that he composed himself: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PB7N1tI277A

@raonah HE COMPOSED THAT??? OMG that guy's phenomenal at the guitar! The fact that he did this when he was fourteen is just mind blowing and it was so beautiful 😍

IKR?!?! And actually, I think he was twelve because he was born '02 and the video is from 2014. How can someone be so talented at TWELVE?!?!?

@raonah welppp I can't count but anyways it's still such a young age to be doing so many great things!! When I first listened to their music, somewhere I saw that he was considered a prodigy and I didn't check it out but now I can fully understand OMG HE'S AWESOME

Sometimes people exaggerate and throw around words like prodigy but I think in his case, it is well-deserved.

Here's another song he composed. In case you haven't seen it yet 🙂

@raonah That song came on right after the other one you suggested and I couldn’t get enough of him so I watched a lot of his compositions LOL He's so good that there’s not enough words in the dictionary to describe his playing

Thanks!!! Going to watch it now 🙂

Thanks so much!!! It worked! I'm going to start it now 🙂

Hi @naelap, click on your profile pic on top of the webpage and go to "account settings" where you can change your "display name". Good luck!

NOTHING HAPPENED. The last two episodes were this slow unending realisation that nothing was going to happen - in slow motion.

The whole set up had this fascinating dilemma for the female lead in that the man she was in love with was physically really young and the body she was attracted to had a man she didn't really know. How did they deal with this fascinating moral quandary? They didn't. It was such a letdown.

There is no small roles though, only small actors/actresses. lol.

In defense with Suzy though, I think it was just her management that is bad on choosing projects. She can rather pick non-pivotal but crucial roles or pivotal role but with a lot of back-up ensemble drama.

The "There is no small roles though, only small actors/actresses" is so true! Was it Judy Dench who won as Oscar for a movie she appeared in for like 5 mins or so?

I loved IU in DH but when I saw her again in The Producers and in that first episode of hers, it felt draggy. I know she's acting like a primadonna but I felt like I'm suffering just from watching her act. Seriously, I felt tired during her scenes.

@mikgoo IU got a lot better in The Producers in the succeeding episodes. She was particularly stellar during the second half.

Cindy was my favorite part of The Producers by the end! The scene with her crying in her bed when the 1N2D crew came to her house got me right in the heart!

I have seen Doctor Stranger. I still remember the feeling of sitting through my first round of competitive surgery and wondering WTF I was watching. By the time they announced another round, I was just watching out of some sort of masochism.

I got to the end and the bad guys monologued "THIS IS MY PLAN" and I went, "That makes no sense".

LJS and PHJ were amazing but I also couldn't understand why he ended up with the woman he did when they spent so much time establishing his relationship with the ?second? female lead (I mean, she was the real female lead, right?).

When it comes to a kdrama childhood fantasy romance and a real adult woman, they'll opt for the childhood fantasy every single time.

I thought the person LJS had the most chemistry with in that was PHJ and was blithely writing a crack threesome fan fiction in my head the entire time. That show would have been terrible but way more fun.

More options: 'Are You a Truck too?', 'Mr. Trucktire', 'The Great Truck' and of course, 'Radio Truckmance'. I hear the last one is causing quite a furore owing to the large age gap - could this be the precursor to @redfox story on Mrs. Truck below? It doesn't seem to be helping Truck's image either.

ROTFL at all the titles.....I am seeing a field of trampled flowers driven over by uri ToD🤣🤣🤣
How about ToD Stayed Out All Night or Remember -ToD's War?

I laughed so much at those titles, I'm literally crying.

In all seriousness, if we want to incorporate @redfox story, it will have to be a 50 episode drama. Maybe 'What Happens to my Truck?', 'All About My Truck' or 'Truck is Strange' would work. Just a thought.

@cloggie: great historical figures always have multiple interpretations of their story.
Like "Shut up! Flower boy truck. - story of a cute killer who has a passion for elevator music." or "Six Flying Trucks".

The 'Truck Social Revenge Club' or 'TruckOut' could be the name of the Villanous Organisation out to seek revenge on the Truck - he is a serial killer after all. But this is a story of Truck's redemption, and will surely end on a positive note for both - Truck and the Truck Social Revenge Club.

another version could be a bit sinister.... you all know those tearjerker films of autistic geniuses who are misunderstood and isolated? but there is one teacher or doctor or honest policeman who believes in them? well potentially genius autistic killer truck and his supporter the gangster. at first it seems he´ll never hit anything but lamp posts. "You can do it! Run [over], truck, run [over]!" in the end he runs over everything on his way from Seattle to Boston and becomes famous. In the university of killer trucks, there is a memorial room...

@redfox
So would a beloved character in Shut Up! Flower Boy Truck be killed by another ToD (maybe his evil twin) by the end of the 2nd episode?

@greenfields
Truck Revenge Social Club? I like the idea of a trio of ahjumma trucks with a cutie patootie teenager truck puppy. It is not too late after all to make this drama a black comedy as you suggested earlier.

I think I will dream about flying trucks and trampled truck dreams tonight.

@greenfields and @kimbapnoona, It could be Revenge Social Truck about three Ahjummas and a Truck. All the revenge is quite petty but involves ToD as their method. Not killing anybody but driving into fences and into gardens. Bumping people into rivers. It could be the first non-violent project for ToD.

this entire truck thread is so confusing i feel like this is some kind of inside joke

@babybeast Haha it is not an inside joke but the exchanges do look confusing. The discussion started in thread 20 and later in the day carried into thread 11.

@kimbapnoona and @cloggie - oh! Three Ahjummas and a Truck is good. That would be the ending, I suppose? A reformed Truck? From running over people to working at Subway, and having found friends like family. A Black comedy -
thriller!

I started writing Truck of Doom defense but the screencapping has left me mildly traumatised!

@cloggie - oh yay!! I'm so excited to read it, I can only tell you to persist regardless. 😁

Don't forget Truck of Doom's close relative: Stupidly standing in the middle of the street with your mouth agape while Truck of Doom bears down on you.

@greenfields, post is written and emailed to the Gods (should that be Goddesses?) of Dramabeans. Fingers crossed.

@cloggie - you amazing being, you! Can't wait to read it.
*bows in prayer to the dramagoddesses*

Come to think of it, ToD gets unfair share of the blame. Equal fault goes to the often non-reaction of pedestrians who stubbornly refuse to slightly step out of the way. Thank you @cloggie for altering the long-held view that is clearly an unjustified misconception.

How should we help the ToD to move out of the villain role? Maybe paint some pretty pink flowers on the body. Or maybe a working brake.

@kimbapnoona, I think he's really trying. That's why he took a bit-part in INAR and delivered Jia to MK's front door - without anybody dying! I think he could also do a good job with comedy. He always makes me laugh, even if that's not the intention.

@cloggie I can never blame anyone who is giving his best! D for effort for ToD.

Let's help him first by rebranding.....how about Truck of Cute (or Truck of KeeeyOh rather)? Or maybe he can be one of MK's Pretties, uri Pretty maknae?

@kimbapAte2Much He should become one of MK's loved appliances, especially once MK realises the crucial role that ToD played in this romance. How about uri Pretty Truck?

@greenfields and @cloggie -I suspect that he was bullied as a kid, now as an post-adolescent lashing out by roaming aimlessly (correction: roaming with perfect aim 😅).

Who is his first therefore fated love? Who will be holding an umbrella over his head when it rains? Who will he go to for ointment and bandages when getting scratches and dents? I want to know!!

@kimbapnoona - Or maybe he got damaged when a road collapsed under him as he was on his first delivery job and the dents have never been properly fixed. That's what drove him to this Life of Doom.

@kimbapnoona, @greenfields and @cloggie, the three of you are ridiculous.....ly funny 🤣🤣

if I can upvote 10,000x, I would but alas... 😞

@cloggie Road collapse? Do you mean that his life was ruined due to corruption, bribes from the construction company to government officials to turn a blind eye during inspection?

All along I thought this was a melodrama but it turned out to be a legal thriller! We need Shi-mok and Yeo-jin of Forest of Secrets to help.

@kimbapnoona and @cloggie - surely it is a thriller, maybe even a noir. Think about it, Truck is essentially a serial killer. A drama from Truck's pov can only be a noir, or perhaps a Black comedy, but I think many of dramaland ' s characters would protest.

@kimbapnoona, @greenfields and @cloggie—laughed so hard my abs hurt. First workout of the year. Fighting!

@greenfields
Of course! How could I not recognize it before! ToD is a serial killer who dispose all of his victims' dead bodies, in, it, self. GENIUS!!

There is a rather disturbing Indie film called 'Rubber' I think you should watch.

@greenfields and @kimbapnoona, The brilliance of ToD as a serial killer is that he makes it look like an accident! Every single time. But clearly you must see that it's not really his fault. Someone else is always driving him to it.

@cloggie and @kimbapnoona - OMG. Manipulation, mind control, eating dead bodies - how did Truck come to this? When did things go so horribly wrong in your life, Truck?!!! *cries*

@cloggie LOL at "driven"
ToD is indeed a brilliant serial killer who has made appearances in countless sequels in dramas all over the world!
I understand that he has his reasons to kill and with a shattered past (as it becomes clearer and clearer today) he is perhaps easily manipulated by others. However I hope that he gets a growth arch and becomes a hero who would own up to his mistakes, you know, to murder (or manslaughter if you prefer.)
