I liked the "interview" clips and clips of Gain more than the dancing parts. The best part was "It makes my butt look big? I want it to look big." Also, "Just living, isn't it all acting?"
the documentary style part of the video reminded me a lot of Madonna's movie "Truth or Dare" overall i liked it. i like where she seems to be going musically with her solos.
I don't think this concept holds up as strongly as her past solos, but I applaud her for standing up for herself and cheekily addressing the controversy surrounding her character. I support her for being fearless in the face of so much misogyny & adversity.
"When Ga-In was younger, she grew up with a lot of pain that developed into wounds. She has a habit of facing the wall whenever she cries, and for a while, all we ever saw was her back. She eventually just turned those cries into silence, and I think that’s why people get the impression that she’s arrogant…"
"She’s never one to complain or whine. She’s grown far too much since then… Actually, I don’t think grown is the appropriate word because she learned to hide herself instead."
After mentioning that fandoms of another idol group would swear at her, throw objects, and point their fingers at her at broadcast halls or event performances:
"Sometimes, I grew so enraged seeing that I just wanted to give up my position as staff and grab those kids by the neck collar to teach them a lesson. Ever since then, Ga-In has had trouble opening herself up to anyone she isn’t close with and treating them with sincerity." - Lyricist Kim Eana
I like the mv a lot. All the cameos were funny and made the mv interesting. Certain parts of the song reminded me of Blurred Lines though. Also, Ga In is my ultimate girl crush. Like, I would totally be her girlfriend lol
i found the concept of the video kind of boring and the song not that great tbh. i don't think it sounds like blurred lines though? but then i barely remember what that song sounds like i guess
The song isn't anything special, but that's probably why the director or Ga-In had people/clips talking all the way through it. lol It was annoying, but at the same time the clips were very interesting and I wanted to see more. It was like the song was good background music to the clips. Maybe that's the intention since Fuxx U couldn't be promoted. Regardless, I'm satisfied with the package. You go Ga-in.
I like the interview concept of the MV...and I have a small crush on Heo Ji Woong since watching Witch Hunt every week hahaha....but idk... the song itself isn't my cup of tea...sounds similar to bloom but more of an upgrade its a downgrade...
wow I like this, Gain remains flawless in my eyes. "truce" though XD and the Show Luo cameo lol. the interview at the end.. I wonder if she's exaggerating it for the sake of the concept or if that's how she really feels because :(
I felt the "behind the scenes" parts were sorta exaggerated to play into what people expect of her. The ending part I feel has truth to it tho. I think all artists "act" when they are in front of the public. Not saying everything they do is fake, but I do think entertainers play up a role/certain image.
eh...I got the blurred lines feelings too... Overall I really liked the lyrics and IU is the cutest thing ever. Loved all the cameos and GaIn is looking awesome as always.

Date: 2014-02-06 03:34 am (UTC)i like the song, but it's definitely my least favorite on the mini. black & white should've been the title track, imo.
