i feel like a creep but i replayed that few seconds of jimin crying so many times i just wanna hold him tight. plus he admits to having fun again with his craft, which makes me softer. that newly-resurfacing love will help him go farther than anything.
i also replayed that vmon blink-and-you'll-miss hand grab. i'm a clingy human by default so seeing those little touches makes me so jealous and soft at the same time.
we get whiny!jimin again, this ep has saved my world.
i just want jin to get everything he deserves. all members have steadily rotated throughout my soft phase, so i know i'm not tunnel-visioned towards jimin only, so the next comeback and festa would be fuckin fun yeassssss
OT: my country just triumphed with a crazy election outcome, as crazy as trump getting his spot. i have high hopes for the next 5 years. we might be getting a female deputy prime minister y'alls!!!!
This was a fitting final episode. I really liked the small peak into their trainee life, as well as how their perspectives evolved. And I rrsisted emoting with Jimin until this episode. You could see the sadness dripping off of him that he had to sit out the performance. Almost caught a tear ehen Namjoon led the crowd to chant 궨차나(sp?).
I'm really happy they filmed this, and I hope this doc is a step toward a little more maturity from their fans.
This series has really ramped up my 'protect Jimin' feelings, he's so sensitive and sweet bless him. Also stop showing me Yoongi crying it's NOT OK
I got a bit emosh watching Jin singing his solo stage... Ah I'm going to lose it if I get tickets for their London shows I can tell...I'm not a person that cries at gigs but haha, I feel it might happen.
This show should have been 10 episodes long with 30 minutes each. It should’ve been broken down further to show how their concerts are put together, what kind of input they give into their performances and how it works contextually with everything else that’s going on in their work lives. Instead we got a few really good scenes of actual confessional moments where we got to see into the inner lives of some, not all. The superficiality of it all was very apparent. The constant reminders of how it’s all because of the fans was unnecessary. What would’ve been good was to see Jimin’s journey in feeling helpless about his voice and actually seeing how he learnt to have fun. What we got was a rushed conclusion that didn’t showcase anything really.
The standouts were RM, Suga, and Jungkook. Jimin and J-Hope had some introspective moments or at least some discussions of how BTS became this formidable team.
This seemed like a fluff piece where I was expecting more heart than the almost mechanical worship of their fans. I shouldn’t have expected much and so wasn’t necessarily let down but it just seemed like a wasted opportunity.
ia with pretty much everything you just said lol. i appreciate the interviews but it annoyed me how a lot of the parts they included (the ones that were used as voice-overs for the concert filler footage especially) were of them essentially repeating the same things over and over again, talking ad nauseam abt their fans and stuff that we've already heard a thousand times before. i'm not saying that they don't mean it but a lot of it just felt like stuff they included to fill up the air-time of each episode. i think the editing in this last ep was especially erratic and rushed. the transitions from one "topic" to the other felt sudden and a bit jarring, which has been a problem throughout the whole show tbh. at times i just sat there staring at my screen going "...that's it?" when they switched from one topic to the other bc it seemed like they were gonna go deeper into the subject but instead all we get is a shallow glimpse... for example in this ep when they opened up w talking about their disagreements during their trainee days and the difficulties of living together i thought we would get a specific anecdote that illustrated this but apparently not lol
yep, some episodes were better than the others. (i feel like a good 2 or 3 episodes were a stand out, but the rest was just... alright.) the editing is definitely disjointed, especially in this last episode.
ita with all you and he original OP comment said. hopefully they would do another one soon for this upcoming tour. it would have been great to see how they come up with the show itself. because it's so grand and spectacular on its own, it would have been amazing to see what happens behind the scenes or how it all came together.
