Plot

Park Jung-gu (Byun Yo-han) sends out homemade bombs to people he finds online who are likely to use them, yet these devices are unused. One day, Jung-gu meets Lee Hyo-min (Park Jung-min), a delinquent student at his university and sends him a package. Soon an explosion in a delivery truck hits the news. Before long, Hyo-min discovers who is sending him the packages and the two form a tenuous relationship. However, Hyo-min's unpredictable behavior becomes dangerous and Jung-gu finds himself caught in a situation that he can no longer handle.[4][5][6]

Reception

Pierce Conran: Tinker Ticker is another impressive debut from a KAFA graduate student. The film also benefits from its strong central pairing with Byun Yo-han as the reticent Jung-gu and Park Jung-min delivering a charismatic turn as the impulsive Hyo-min.[4]

gollark: "Common or Garden Dragon"?

gollark: I had a stupidly high view count with some AR testing.

gollark: On the plus side, the viewbombing of AoND is convenient due to my strategy of just forgetting about eggs for a few days then sticking them in.

gollark: It would fix viewbombing forever!

gollark: Just remove sickness already, o great TJ09.
