You're so cute with your reactions to Namjoon.

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

Y'all should have heard me yelling in my room. Good thing I'm home alone.

But ok I knew things were gonna to shit because we can never have nice things. I knew the girl was dead and I'm was like oh lord who is Jin gonna kill with his car but then plot twist. Tae giving himself up to the police for the girl and I am still horridly confused about what happened between Jimin and the girl and Hobi. I know Jimin and the girl got hurt but I'm also like...what? Then Yoongi made me sad with his spiraling and I don't even know what's happening with Namjoon.

Anyway I'm going to go scream into the void for like 30 minutes because the girl couldn't go to a damn streetlight and cross then.

Jimin and the girl are meant to be together but she's with J-Hope and he can't say anything cuz they're friends. It's a Love Actually rip-off all the way. I'm hoping they have sex when they meet in the hospital to deal with their injuries.

I feel like everyone's gonna end up in the hospital. Namjoon was in the bus that hit Jin's girl

me trying to understand any of this

[black-swan87.livejournal.com]

this is the drama right tho, these aren't teasers right?

[meggicchi.livejournal.com]

THIS EXPLAINS NOTHING.

ok i saw the last scene coming from 10,000 miles away, like it was in the middle of the night and i couldn't hear a single car but i knew she wasn't gonna make it to the other side of that road lmao.
i'm just waiting for things to start making sense, hopefully tomorrow's videos clear some things up, like i don't know man... who/what the hell are these girls?? It seems they're all being rejected/hurt or are left behind/disappearing one by one? And Hoseok's girl and Jimin both got hurt at the same time, what does it mean? I'm so confused. There are theories everywhere, but the only thing I'm about 67% sure is that Jungkook had admnesia after his accident. Probably. BH is the reason I have trust issues.

and QUESTION time

[meggicchi.livejournal.com]

at the risk of sounding like i'm a bighit's rep lmao, i saw more or less mixed responses to the teasers for the drama so far, so i'm curious about the general opinion on here? so here are two stuff i'm wondering about:

1) are you excited for the drama, from these videos? y/n?
2) are you excited for the september comeback (visually? musically?)? y/n?

you can be negative lol, i don't mind.

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

I'm asdfghjkl after this, could have sworn Jin's girl was gonna get hit by a car but at the same time I thought Jin was going to hit JK with his car. And Jimin hit the girl while dancing? I'm ????

On the other hand, wet Jimin is my aesthetic..

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WHOLE DRAMA SHIT NOW

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

it seemed like jimin lost balance or something went wrong in their dance routine, like they were off which caused them to get too close to each other (that would be an interesting metaphor). i do know is that jimin fell on a nail or something (that was just randomly on the ground, not that safe) and it stuck in his forarm which caused him to start bleeding.

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

okay but that subtle change in jin's face when he realised what had happened. that was really good. thing are getting intense while namjoon is just on a bus fidgeting with a hairband, a detail i really like because it seems so relatable for some reason? just an every day kind of thing that you don't really see too often in videos/tv shows etc.

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Yes @ Jin's face at the end. That was perfect.

[leavesabound.livejournal.com]

Oh, girl crossing the street without looking both ways and then getting hit by a car while her love interest watches on in horrified slow motion.

A true classic.

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

It looked like she did look both ways though? I'll have to go back and watch it again but it seemed like she did look before she crossed the street, which is why I'm like girl how you ain't seen that car

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

Lmao I am more confused than ever. I am very intrigued by all of this though. Namjoon looks so freaking good. His storyline is the one I'm most interested in. Like why are you following this girl? Where are you riding the bus to? Why do you look so hot in a cap? I need answers BigHit!!!

[lemonadetea.livejournal.com]

I saw something on Tumblr that said the bus was going to Daegu. (And that the train they showed in Taehyung's bit was going to Ilsan lol.)

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

i guffawed at that girl stepping out in front of the car ngl
it's all so ott lmao

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

so i was kinda excited for these cheesy drama stylings, but now by the 3rd video i'm pretty over it. just give me the music already.

also, i was definitely laughing at multiple times during this one.

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

In some ways, the girls replaced the other members in the pairings but I don't know how Jungkook's girl fits here unless he imaged it all. And for Jin's girl, I feel like that stands for Jungkook's accident so I'm curious to see where Jin goes from there. If it reminds him of Jungkook's accident, if it triggers other things.

[abcd123.livejournal.com]

i'm probably one of the few still in the camp of being excited for bangtan's next era of "fake deep" stuff cause as a film major i can totally understand them wanting to continue it (but like at the same time let it go bighit, start a new #aesthetic)

at the same time these are only highlight reels right? i personally think that the drama will make more sense (or at least have a coherent storyline), because some of these scenes just seem way too short and out of place that i'm pretty sure more was filmed (if this even makes any sense?). either that or bighit really may have bitten more then they can chew with this aesthetic. i just want more information about this drama bighit!!

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what I just watched or what is going on.

[nekobot.livejournal.com]

It's frustrating that he gets the least attention normally and now he's finally given a more central role and even with his career long "I want to try acting" he has like 4 different facial expressions all of which are copy/pasted straight from his selfies.

Your gif is able to stir more emotions in 2 seconds than his combined part in these reels altogether.

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

That last scene. I knew it the moment she waved back at him. I just want a comeback without death JFC.

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

the beginning of this highlight was so ~cinematic

[1of1girl.livejournal.com]

umm this was intense. i knew what was going to happen to jin's girl way before, it ws really predictable.

i laughed at tae stepping out to the police and it playing out like he had just committed the worst crime in the history when he just did graffiti.

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Jungkook did Graffiti. If this is the Tae from Run, then he just killed or seriously injured a man. lol

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

I think Yoongi's character might be an alcoholic. In Run, Jungkook and him argue and fight while he's drunk, and here it looks like he's stumbling around too.

[lemonadetea.livejournal.com]

I saw a post on tumblr that says Namjoon's bus is headed to Daegu and the train in Taehyung's bit is going to Ilsan, so I still have some hopes for our YA coming out drama. Except it seems Taetae might be in jail for it. Which sucks. I hope they're not gonna go for the kill your gays trope.

Otherwise, this is all so pretty, and I am so happy.

[donaldjdrumpf.livejournal.com]

wait which one is has the gay character in this?

[nekobot.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh I love them and a lot of work and effort (and beautiful cinematography) went into this but this whole video is SO freaking cheesy? Rapmon seemed like a believable human being, Jimin could be worse (he looks great dancing so good that that's what they focused on) but the rest of them are TERRIBLE actors.

I really don't know what the entire drama is going to be like but if they're like this for an hour each I'm really worried it's going to cheapen their brand.

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Some of y'all really think they're trying to get the Blue Dragon Best Actor award for this lmao.

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

I mean, my man Seokjin claims to be serious about this acting thing and studied it so yeah ngl I expected better LOL.

[donaldjdrumpf.livejournal.com]

Oh Shit I peed myself at the end I got scared.

[sunlight-kisses.livejournal.com]

namjoon gets off at the same stop taehyung does graffiti to

[revedesnuages.livejournal.com]

Liked:
-the sense that the plots were converging
-cinematography
-music went well with buildup
-the plot's more interesting than previous highlight reels

Disliked:
-potential fridging of Jin or JK's girls
-the filter that makes their faces look airbrushed and paler

The acting was not good, but as a former DBSK fan, I've endured worse lol

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

"The acting was not good, but as a former DBSK fan, I've endured worse lol"

Screaming!! I've been thinking the exact same thing whenever I see comments on BTS' acting. I mean... DBSK's mini drama and movie? If I sat through those things, I can forgive any questionable acting from BTS.

Also, as I tell everyone who's a fan of both DBSK and BTS, you have flawless taste :).

[mewgical.livejournal.com]

This is turning into a hot mess. I'm not expecting great acting. I don't care if it s artpop pretensions fake deep shit. But this is cringy terrible. The first two were pretty but this one is just predictable and terrible. I know I've been calling it a kdrama but idk if it's even good enough to be on that level. This is some General Hospital levels of method acting.

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

MTE

Some of the acting is really bad, but at least before things were disjointed enough to make it interesting. Like the Wings promos were visually nice and disjointed and that worked. Here, it's like they're trying to play it straight and really just give you a drama, but their acting can't carry it and the storylines are overdone and predictable (as well as overly contrived to be sappy).

[pockeeta.livejournal.com]

at this point i'd be mad if the end product's going to be as ambiguous as hyyh. it better have an actual story creative team!!!

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I think the videos supposed to be ambiguous and open ended -- thats the goal the production team aimed at. The want the fans to intrepret it on their own using their OWN personal experience instead them spell out the plot for them.

I personally enjoy the content where it is ambiguous as you can interpret it to many thing to suit your own preferences or feelings. Movies that have this kind of endings are far more interesting for me.
