So, here we are, talking about our first music video on the blog. The first video is Pristin’s We Like! 

First off, our reaction video is on YouTube so be sure to check that our for our initial reaction. https://www.youtube.com/c/KaylaKpow

Now, lets get down to business. 

The video starts off showing the girls in a shopping mall that is closed, very similar to Girls Generation’s Gee in my opinion. The bright colors and the closed store give it that Gee feeling. All of the girls are spread out throughout the mall, each singing their lines and finally coming back to a group shot while singing the chorus. 

The chorus is catchy! The du du du du du du portion of the song is very easy to remember and sing along with for all fans giving this song international appeal. Great job on the songwriters part! The lyrics are cute and tell of a girl who likes a boy and is trying to get his attention. Quite cute lyrics, but is that what makes the song stand out? 

Let us talk about the song itself. While it does have cute lyrics, I do feel like it is lacking something. The portion of the song I loved the most was the breakdown as I felt it gave the song that umph I was waiting for all along. It is a very cute song, but maybe it just isn’t exactly my style? The breakdowns in this video really do keep my attention and I think that is why I like this song. Other than that, I would have picked a different song to be their title track. Possibly “Tina” or “Aloha”? These tracks give off a more summer vibe and I enjoyed them much more than I did “We Like”. 

The fashion! Oh my gosh the fashion! These girls killed me with these outfits. Just look at them! I love all of the bright colors and the matching shoes. 

The dance! This dance was so cute! I really enjoyed the “poses” they would do during the chorus. The dance seems pretty simple and easy to learn for fans, which I see as a plus! I love it when dances are simple enough for everyone to learn! I also really enjoyed how they interacted with each other throughout the dance. 

For the love of all that is good in the world give Kyla some more screen time! It felt as if she got the least amount of screen time in the whole video. Kyla did recieve more lines that I anticipated, which is great, but it felt like everyone else got a good amount of screen time and she did not. This could be from Netizens fat shaming her in previous performances saying she was too fat to be an idol. I completely disagree! It is so SO nice to see someone with a normal body type in the industry for people to relate to and she is not fat at all! If anyone crouches down, sits down or bends down, we all have rolls! C’mon people lighten up! She looks healthy to me! :) 

Tiger JK and crew are back with an intro video to their anticipated album in a couple days. I’m not a huge fan of any of these artists but I do look forward to their releases as of late.

Bias- 1.5 (1)

MV- 1

Song- 3

Impression- 4.5

So this mv has a really good editing at sounds and the angle quite good. It shows from the beginning of the mv when they stand outside n shoot them one by one. It gives a really dramatic and serious feeling especially with the good fog effect.

The thing is the weapon that Sungjong and Dongwoo brought to defeat the gangster. Like seriously?! An umbrella and a skateboard?! Oh well, the skateboard is usefull in the end to defeat them, but still, it kinda remind me with ‘Home Alone’ they way they make ‘make-the-thief-fall-by-make-them-step-on-the-skateboard’ lol

And Sungjong used the umbrella as if it is a katana. I mean, they’re a freakin gangster, being hit by an umbrella is basically just like being hit by their mom when they were kids. He really need to search something harder than just a single umbrella.

And also they didn’t leave out the broken glass and the broken log n some wooden stool(?) voice. Because it makes us absorbed with the mv as listening to the song.

Their act is good too, probably considering so many mv n some dramas that they have been. So I guess, we don’t even need to ask about their act skill. But if it comes to the martial art skill, ofcourse Hoya is so good at it, since he used to be a Taekwondo player. I must admit that his action scene is so convincing and looks so real. Aside from him, the other also did quite well and appear manly in this MV.

The plot and concept is so good and kinda resemble the lyric, so that’s another good point from this mv. Its about a girl kidnapped and infinite about to get her back. Its so suitable for the entire lyrics, and I guess they want Infinite to looks more manly and masculine with many action scenes.

About the song, I’m positive love this one over last romeo, idk why, but this one just sounds different, and along with the ballad and slow tempo at first, then it changed in the middle of the song. It becomes so-infinite-like song. The beat, with some electro here and there.
