if you're into cute boys gliding around on heelies for no reason then this is the mv for you. maknae's voice dropped about two octaves since their last comeback and it's great fun.

ghdakjfhadk i was so worried just watching the mv;; i hope nothing terrible happens

Surprisingly it was quite nice. A little slow for a lead song, but still nice.

The song and mv are so over dramatic and then you get a shot of them rolling around in their heelies and it makes me want to laugh but honestly when will our faves be able to flip around like that wearing wheeled shoes??! They don't get enough praise for their choreo.

I just rewatched the mv to focus on Yuhwan and 😍😍😍

speed is on my list of groups i wish was more successful ( *looks at U-kiss and mblaq mournfully). I like most of their songs and they're super adorable and likable

call me baby was by far the most embarrassing mv of the year for me so my standards are pretty low for that category. the heelies were not a problem lmao

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Yessss, I've been waiting for this!

LOL @ the Heelys though. I remember when they got banned at my school bc some kid in another district nearly killed himself trying to do tricks. memories~

Not so clear on the plot. but was dude a stalker? They prob should've just went with a dance version and left the plot alone.

Love the song though!

i really only payed attention to this group because of taewoon, but this was nice i guess.

also rme at mbk for disbanding 5dolls, when i'm sure this group has yet to break even.

no at the last high note.

Surprisingly I really loved the song! Hope this comeback is better for them

here for sungmin! and i was slightly surprised at his voice..
i like the song although i dont think it will be good for a comeback song.
the dance is pretty scary, i dont want to imagine/know how many times they mustve fall down practicing ><

I've liked the song since their performance at Dream Concert but this music video just rubs me the wrong way. The creepy plot which had stalking (which was completely unnecessary) was terrible, not to mention the "look at our new member" super zoomed shots, and the way that everyone else barely gets a solo shot in edgewise...

I love Speed but this video is pretty much on par with most of their other MVs for me - that is, sort of disappointing when compared to the quality of the song.

I really enjoy the song, and the mv is ok. I actually get more grim reaper/angel of death vibes from ki-o than I do stalker, but it's really vague. I have no idea how either of those things fit with heelies. Seungmin looks taller to me here, but idk if he actually is, or if it's just that Taewoon isn't there now to throw off the curb. Lol

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I didn't even think of that! I thought ghost at first, bc it wasn't clear whether or not she could see him. But grim reaper does kind of fit and would explain why she was running scared at the end.

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

death/grim reaper would explain why the main guy (and the others) are dressed in black, why it seems like she can't see him and the random ambulance shot

I'm loving the wheelies. I quite like the song but the mv looks a little cheap?

[blue_ant]

Oh, MBK. You are no better now than you were when you were CCM. Speed deserves better.

I think the wheelies/heelies/whatever are super cute and I'm pretending the rest of that MV doesn't exist. The making of was cute, if too short, but the producer/whatever had really nice things to say about the boys. I want them to do well so badly.

I'm also pleased that I don't miss Taewoon at all.

[ruddens.livejournal.com]

i totally don't care that taewoon is gone and it's the best feeling lmao

[blue_ant]

I almost expected to miss him, because I really like his voice, but Sungmin and Sejoon did a good job making up for the lack of Taewoon. But yeah, I was totally relieved that I didn't, in the end. I wish their mini was longer, though.

[ruddens.livejournal.com]

sungmin and sejoon did great!
i was really worried that the music quality would go down, since taewoon had such a big hand in producing their music, but it's as good as it's always been so i'm really glad lol. yeah i really wish their mini had more on it too :(

[blue_ant]

I hadn't even thought of that, but you're right, I think that was one of my worries. But, man. They really did a good job.

I think Jungwoo posted something on the fancafe about how they more songs coming? I hope that's true. I'm going to need more. I wish more people liked Speed.

[ruddens.livejournal.com]

ahhh i hope they have more songs too! three + insts isn't enough for a mini lmao
i wish speed was bigger too :( i've liked them since they were in co.ed and it sucks to see them coming out with great stuff consistently but nobody cares lol...i hope they get more popular from this. i know they're getting more instagram followers at least.

[blue_ant]

It's definitely not, especially since I don't like instrumentals. :-/

My friend liked them since then, too. She got me into them in 2013 (right after Sejoon was in IRIS2) and they quickly became my favorite group, even though I knew what I was getting into. Their instagrams are pretty great! Actually, they're really good at social media, which makes me very happy.

[obscurajae.livejournal.com]

I'm not convinced that's Sungmin's voice in the mv though? It just sounds like Sejoon? They performed it at Dream Concert and maknae didn't have that deep a voice then. Is there a reason they would have altered his voice?

[ruddens.livejournal.com]

maybe they just altered it to sound cool or something, which doesn't really work when fans want to hear the boys' voices lol. whatever it is, it sounds different and doesn't match his cute face. xD

The song is good - their singing is also good.
