Date: 2017-09-13 10:31 am (UTC)but yeah still dont know what to think of this like even the choreo is a re-hash of their old dances

Date: 2017-09-13 10:43 am (UTC)I had the same thought! xd
I think the "problem" of Gfriend is, that their debut and their first comebacks all fall into the "cute/innocent" concept and they got a lot of fans that way. "Navillera" and "Fingertip" according to a lot of people didn't do so well, because they had a more "quirky/cool" concept and fans didn't really like that. So it makes sense to go back to their roots. Still sad, because it seems like they're stuck with the same concept now, while they've proven that they can do so much more! And you can only do so much with the "cute/innocent" schoolgirl concept.

Date: 2017-09-13 11:02 am (UTC)its sad how they literally peaked with one of their first comebacks (rough) and everything since has been not on par

Date: 2017-09-13 11:27 am (UTC)TBH I love these concepts because I dress like this too haha but I feel an it sad since I think some of the girls would prefer to do something closer to fingertip (Which I also loved)

Date: 2017-09-13 02:24 pm (UTC)ia. This and Love Whisper were nice but they lacked impact.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-13 12:18 pm (UTC)i guess my tastes are similar to k-fans because i didn't enjoy navillera and fingertip as much as the concepts they did before... although i appreciated them stepping out and trying new things. i think the choreo was a big factor bc i didn't find it as interesting in those eras. hopefully they'll find a balance and stick to their roots without getting stale.

Date: 2017-09-13 01:24 pm (UTC)also lol at "the songs sound the same because it's a PARALLEL concept" bullshit, what a thinly veiled excuse to release the same song twixe

Date: 2017-09-13 02:15 pm (UTC)This said, like Love Whisper before (and even though the song grew on me a lot, as this one will surely do), it lacks the underlying intensity than even their first concepts had (often through guitars solos but there are other ways to build up intensity, for example they could have worked something out with the piano?). And while I'm enjoying this, I'm a bit sad that they lost this edge.
Also while I get that Love Whisper and this one are supposed to be parallels (a nice idea to begin with!), I still wished they had played it a bit differently in the chorus, it's more obvious than subtle.

Date: 2017-09-13 02:23 pm (UTC)It's a nice but I was hoping for a bit more. I feel like after Fingertip underperformed (I know it still did well, but it didn't do as good as previous eras), Source would rather play it safe. The choreography is gorgeous as always though, and I can't wait to see it live.

Date: 2017-09-13 02:50 pm (UTC)I found this to be awfully boring. I actually like Love Whisper a lot more. It's not doing that well on Melon either, but I wish them the best.

Date: 2017-09-13 03:23 pm (UTC)The movie is just... They need to get a new director or something. So much slow motion every time, it's boring. I guess in this song it at least fits the theme, but enough already.
