I love the song so much. But the choreography looks way too simple compared to their other releases, and I'm worried that will continue down the road.

[soongie.livejournal.com]

definitely something i would hear in rhythm games like o2jam or osu lol

i loooooove it

[tomatomc.livejournal.com]

love the heartbeat beat beat beat part but the song is nothing memorable and so is the mv. irene is v gorgeous though.

i like the wes anderson feel of the mv but the song is too cutesy not really feeling it. also, it's not really catchy tbh

[peppermintty.livejournal.com]

the chorus is already stuck to my brain. i love it so much already!

LA LA LA LA LA LA SONG OF THE YEAR LA LA LA LA LA LA

just curious!

YAS I LOOOOVE IT

I wanted to say something about the ugly-ass fashion and hairstyle but for some reason it clicks well with how quirky and playful the video and song are.

And yes I agree with another poster above about it being very Wes Anderson in terms of colors! Not really with the symmetry tho, but that's all good! The COLORS ARE THE BEST in this video lol

The recurring themes (lighters, balloon popping on a cactus) make me think it must be the same director as "Why So Lonely", another amazing MV. I love it.

[minasketchup.livejournal.com]

So, so good. I love it.

THIS IS SO GOOD I'M REELING THE MV IS SO FUN AND MORBID AND THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL YES BLESS ME

i'm making icons if anyone wants!!

[alleyca.livejournal.com]

i want those seulgi closeups pls

[soyunatetera.livejournal.com]

When I realized they wanted to kill each other the MV became more interesting to me. Am I weird? lol I like the aesthetics too but I want to see more of the choreo. Do SM they released dance versions for RV before? I want one

[mattemate.livejournal.com]

this song has some parts that are fairly catchy and some parts that arent really catchy at all to me. but even though i do like this song overall, i feel like its considerably tame compared to their previous "red" releases.

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

I like it, but it doesn't seem as strong as their past releases.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Hahaha that was fast OP
I really like the song! it's catchy and bright. Still waiting to listen to the full mini, the previews during their countdown sounded great too!
I'm not found of the aesthetics, I feel that the colours are too washed out/pale when it could have been really colorful and fun (same as the lipstick half erased too? idk looks sloppy). Joy's hair is awful :( Seulgi looks better in motion. Yeri is shining.
However I do like the plot! They're using the plot of group members being in love with the same person and taking the rivalry to the next level, trying to kill their competition in a Looney tunes way. Lmao after the idol factory, this is so great too

[parksehun.livejournal.com]

i loooooooove it, even though seulgi's weird ombre lips in the beginning looked.. weird lol
also i could do without the colored contacts, they creep me out
i love the song though and the mv!! it looked really pretty

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

oh, i like this! the chorus sticks in your head. and i love how quirky their music videos always are! the song is weaker then some of their other title tracks though imo

[alleyca.livejournal.com]

Seulgi is so dreamy in this but I still really hate the orange on her. Anyway this was cute and I love the twisted things they do to each other lol

[zuznay.livejournal.com]

cute

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

i don't think its my favorite song of theirs but its catchy and the mv is cute.

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

On loop! I love it so much!!

[lovebeat-down.livejournal.com]

I like the song, it's definitely joining my driving playlist

overall dumb dumb is my favorite of their singles (that's a lie, be natural exists)

not a fan of joy's yellow hair :( she looks stunning as always but as a brunette she's almost ethereal

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

I'll pass.

[sethelaezekiel.livejournal.com]

this is bad and not even catchy bad i hope korea likes it don't want them to flop

my faves seulgi and joy look a mess they don't deserve this

[withcream.livejournal.com]

same. justice for seulgi and joy's hair.

[xilopia.livejournal.com]

ooh i really like this! at first i thought i might not, but then the chorused kicked in and the song really picked up. i like the heartbeat beat beat beat part and the way they sing russian roulette.

i only caught a few minutes of the vlive earlier, but i think they said the concept for the video is that the five of them are into the same guy so they are playing dangerous games with each other to like get rid of the competition (that's how i understood it at least). which is a fun and original concept, and i liked how it resembled the kind of cartoons i used to watch as a kid. but i don't know, something about the mv seemed a little off, like some of the scenes didn't fit with the rest so visually the end result felt incohesive in a way.

also they look great! i know the styling isn't optimal for them, especially joy and seulgi, but they're such pretty girls i think they still pull it off.

I'M CRY MY BABY HAS MORE THAN HALF A LINE

It's quirky and definitely a grower but I love it! I'm wondering how the choreo is going to look on it's own. It's not a hard hitter like Dumb Dumb or Ice Cream Cake but I can really see them taking an f(x) trajectory in the long run.
