I KNOW! Boss Ling is so MEAN! 
So many scenes in that show made me CHOKE laughing so hard! That scenes at the gym! OMG! I died! Oh! and when, one after the other, they all were trying to hide in the FL apartment from the next visitor!
oh man. I’ma hafta go watch that again…
oh boy, Well-Intended Love was a whole package. One minute I really wanted to give him a nice hard slap and the next I was all heart-eyes 
And Wen Li made me stick the whole thing out, I loved him so much!! For the most part, I have to praise the wirters for pulling of such CRINGE-WORTHY scenes so that they actually seemed fun (well except that seduction-during-his-video-meeting scene I DIED it was such a cringe-fest!!!
)
I love dramas where the lead is a total idiot but once in love he starts doing all sorts of things…it’s so funny to see them lose composure and sacrifice dignity sometimes that it totally atones for their idiocy before! I liked The Undateables and I Am Not A Robot, the way they are totally badass and cool to everyone but such kids when they’re with the Fl!
I only want that White Truck of Death when I see that workplace abuse, you know some dramas where the rotten bosses just KEEP ON slapping and hitting their poor subordinates, I just wish the great truck would ram nicely into them, but sadly they’re already on duty hitting all the good guys 
.
I just remembered a blog post I read a while back. If I recall correctly the writer gave a logical well thought out reason that the white truck is used, at least in certain situations.
[In Defense Of] The Truck of Doom » Dramabeans Korean drama recaps
I’m sure there are some writers who use it because it’s become a drama trope, I just wish the truck were more discerning. lol
I do find it funny that sometime in a drama when you see a white truck innocently driving by, someone comments that it’s rushing off to it’s next assignment.
Ha ha, nice article. It makes sense that a traffic accident is a plausible death cause for younger characters when you exclude drugs, murder or rare terminal illness.
However traffic accidents can be of so many different kinds:
But of all these reasonable and realistic options, they only choose the White Truck of Doom. Which doesn’t seem to have functioning brakes.
I remember in Legend of the Blue Sea, Lee Min Ho, looking dandy in a pastel pink coat, was happily crossing the road to meet his long-lost mother. And that was the end of the episode. Ah, the agony. He didn’t look right and left before crossing, and we were pretty sure that he would be the victim of an accident. But the writers were trolling us, it didn’t happen. I mean, they also use it even when they… don’t actually use it.
I know, I get trauma every time a good character tries to cross a road 
especially when a loved one is at the other side, my heart will beat so much faster and I’m just there going “nonononononono”
there are other traffic accidents I’ve seen with cars…I think a motorbike accident would look way more gruesome so they opt for cars or trucks (the victim hits the glass and falls, whereas a bike accident would be worse)
But there have been all sorts of accidents(the three-car accident in Oh My Venus 
), just that the White Truck is famous. Also, it’s one more of those little ‘distinctly k-drama’ things that I make fun of but love it deep down inside 
OH MY GOD! I know exactly who I want inflicted with the white truck of doom!
The grandmother in Madly In Love
let’s kill grandma
The whole show is centred on the misdeed of a falsified will and the two feuding family clans that comes of it, so when the real will is found, the grandmother carries it about in her handbag like a packet of gum, her handbag!
I know for sure of all the reactions I’ve ever felt watching dramas, the actions of this grandmother got me so riled up I’d happily drive the white truck myself, and when her body is lying in the road I’d put it in reverse and run her over again!
Yes, considering the family had just spent the past 30 one hour episodes (10 year span in the show) trying to wrestle back rightful control of the family business, she stuffs the rediscovered genuine will that could prove rightful ownership in her handbag and storms right over to confront the baddie family with it, leading to the inevitable drama result of the handbag being snatched! her stupidity caused another 17 episodes worth of heartache and pain for everyone. Her wronged daughter and grandson (main lead) should have hired a white truck immediately and did the job themselves!
Or maybe not. Come to think of it, she wasn’t one of the baddies characters that you were supposed to hate! So not sure if she fits in your list of female villainy. 
Maybe not. I can’t put all the frustrating mother figures in my collection, almost every drama would end up in it.
Yes, it just ended up that I hated the grandmother the most but the show does have a really evil woman character on the ‘baddies’ side.(wife No2) that would fit your list.
She will do anything for her son to succeed in the company that her husband gained control of from the fake will, she is co-conspirator and is manipulative of the husband. Controlling of her son to succeed even though he’s not up to snuff and mentally abusive to the daughter-in-law. Despises and two-faced to wife No1. Resorted to murder to silence people. A genuine nasty piece of work! (just your average everyday wife No2 
) I think the only thing the script writers didn’t have her do was skin some puppies for a fur coat.
Despite all this I still didn’t want her to meet the white truck of doom as that would be all too easy, no, I wanted her to stick around to see just how much comeuppance she’d get.
The show is sublimely ridiculous in it’s intertwined-ness with more connections than a wild game of cats cradle and has an air of daytime soap about it. It brilliantly bad!
It sounds like I drama I shouldn’t watch if I want my laptop to survive. lol
I was recommended it in my topic “Looking for the worst drama suggestion” Says it all really!
Not a drama I wish for the white truck in, but in Cinderella and Four Knights at the end of E15 when Ha Won & Ji Woon are crossing the street, stop in the middle of the road, then wait on opposite sided waiting for traffic to pass before finally reuniting on the far side, clearly the comment section is worried about the white truck.
Just a few of the comments in that 2 minutes.
Oh my, I found another person who needs the White Truck of Doom. I’m rewatching Uncontrollably Fond and I forgot just how bad the moms are, I don’t want the truck for Joon Young’s mom, she’s not quite that evil, but the Assemblyman’s wife, she really need a visit from the white truck, and on it’s way back home if it could just quickly run over Jung Eun and her father I wouldn’t object. The last straw for me was Ep 11 when she had her driver hit and injure No Jik, as a warning I guess? How can she call herself human? I was hating her before that, but that’s so far out of bounds.
I guess the actress in this drama did their jobs well, they did a good job of making me hate them. lol
Wouldn’t it be “funny”, if the one who hired the white truck of doom and wants to witness the result of the job, would be mistaken as the victim and end that way, and the supposed victim could just live his/her life in peace? Did anyone ever see that happen?
Yes that would be funny. Someone should write a drama with the White Truck (or maybe it’s driver) being the main character.
I had the same idea a year ago! I had thought about creating a drama called The Drivers of Destiny , inspired by our “Odd Things I Learnt About Korea” thread.
The main characters:
Supporting cast:
Together, they work as matchmakers to make the world fill up with romance. The angst here is the truck of doom driver trying to escape his fate.
This is a drama I want to help write! Brilliant idea.
The poor driver of the White Truck though, I wouldn’t want that job. He/She must have severe PTSD, unless they’re an aspect of fate or death and not actually (fully?) human
Plot twist: The grim reaper is actually the driver of the White Truck!
