sigh.. a ballad. its not for me

[vanilla-09.livejournal.com]

I have such a disdain for ballads for some reason they just don't do it for me either.

Wow, her voice!! She truly is one of the best vocalists of her year!! So effortless and moving. I really like the song, I think it suits her and is great for the season and theres something abount this mid-tempo, small to big feeling that just boosts up my mood.

Also, visuals!! Wendy is so beautiful (I'm loving these bangs) and her design team did so well for the mv. That coral dress is stunning and that first shot of her in the tub with the blue and yellow stained glass — be still my heart!

I watched part of her live stream & she's just so sweet and earnest, you can't help but to love her && I hope her album does well

[degloss.livejournal.com]

awww this is nice (:
I really enjoyed the visuals, it was really well done but it didn't really have an sm feel to it weirdly?

[apricotsunrises.livejournal.com]

Vocal goddess giving us HQ music as expected! The whole album is so good, it’s really hard to choose a fave bside tbh.

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

She has a really nice voice that's fir sure!
I love the scenes where she's in this giant terrarium and I would live in that bathroom!
But I don't like the drum, it's like 101 basic drum for a ballad and the sound drowns the sound of the strings to me.
The blue lenses though, so alien looking.

[921227.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, that terrarium was so pretty! I like that it was filled with things other than regular flowers, it made it more ethereal and whimsical

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

She has a nice voice
but she is such a void of charisma she makes anything sound boring

[accioanime.livejournal.com]

I cant help but agree. She has such a great voice and I am glad she has bounced back from her accident, but I never pegged her as a soloist. RV stage presence have never been stong to begin with as a group, much less one of them going solo.

zzzzZzzzzZZZZZzzz

This is very Taeyeon-like.

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

thats exactly what i was thinking.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

beautiful!

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

I love her voice and this looks very pretty, but the entire mini album is sadly very boring imo

[lovelyxbeauty.livejournal.com]

A pretty music video and I like the song and her vocals, some scenes remind me of Flowers music videos — very visually appealing — but did someone in SM accidently bulk buy blue contacts a few years ago? Also this song seems like it'll be easy to play on superstar.

[darklitplanet.livejournal.com]

it’s gorgeous. her voice is something else

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

The user above who said this is Taeyeon music is spot on lol. But I expected nothing less since she is a SM vocal. Her voice is nice and I feel bad for what happened to her, but when I see her name I immediately think "racist" because she did the same shit twice.

[dalpaengi.livejournal.com]

and then she did a video with john legend in an attempt to cover her sh*t..yep

[a-suitcase.livejournal.com]

Meh.

I wasn't gonna like this anyway cos of her racist shit, but she does have a good voice and I like how she sounds in RV but this is just boring.

Also I cannot get used to her new face???

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

I just saw knetizens discussing that. I didn’t realize she had to get work done on her face after her accident but I also never pay attention to her.

[dallinferno.livejournal.com]

This is beautiful, I love the song and the whole album as well! I know ballads aren't everyone's taste but I personally love love LOVE SM ballad albums.

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

I’m not entirely against ballads as their are some good ones (the piano version of OOTN hello????) but I didn’t even finish the chorus part this was such a snoozefest. But I still don’t support her after her racist stuff so I guess it works out.

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

Not enough to make me forget of her racist shit

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

I usually hate K-Ballads because they always sound the same, this however is amazing.
I didn't recognize her at first, either it was the angles or whatever reconstruction they had to do after her accident.

If she wasn't proven to a racist I would stan the fuck outta her because her vocal abilities>>>>
Alas, she remains a problematic talent.
Honestly her voice and range is one of the best in K-Pop.
If she had the charisma for it she could've been the new IU.

[seiruka.livejournal.com]

> If she had the charisma for it she could've been the new IU

Charisma, and if she hadn’t gotten that tragic jaw shaving after debut that messed up her face, there are lots of super successful visuals without an ounce of charisma LBR just look at her group

[fritterish.livejournal.com]

Barely recognized her. The movie is so pretty

I’m usually down for ballads but this is OST-levels of boring

[chiives.livejournal.com]

she's looking... different. :( i know she's had to get reconstructive surgery from her accident, but it's going to take a while to get used to, rn she reminds me of those wax sculptures that technically look like who they're meant to be but noooot quite.

the song itself is very generic but i know sk loves that stuff so whatever.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Whelp. This is my kind of ballad — it's warm and cosy, a little sentimental, with an acoustic feel to it. The kind of song that knows exactly what it's doing and sticks to it. Wendy sounds lovely here. I've heard better ballads of course, but I also listen to a ton of Taylor Swift or Taeyeon (nobody's perfect lmao) so I'm enjoying this.

I won't go all the way to support someone with several racist comments but after the accident she had, I hope she's doing ok and ready to be in the spotlight again. There probably will be a lot of comments about her face and that's a kind of insecurity I wouldn't wish on anyone.

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

nice voice but k-ballads just make me zzzzz. also can't recognize her in different scenes

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

There are tons of good ballads but this isn't one. Could at least use it in some drama to up the no of listens or something.

[frequency.livejournal.com]

i actually like it, lol. i won't be playing it on spotify or w/e but it's nice enough. it does sound like smth taeyeon would do but i pm expected this.

i love that giant terrarium.

i have my personal reservations about her in general, but admittedly i feel a little 🥴 about ppl commenting on her face? idk why it's rubbing me the wrong way, lol. i hope she's feeling okay tbh.

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

Yeah I agree...wendy has always gotten comments on her looks from knetz (commenting on her weight gain) or ifans (commenting about her weight loss). But it feels even more wrong to focus on her looks now knowing that she had to get reconstructive surgery after her accident.

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

Ballads are just not my thing (except for a select few of them when done right), but damn she sounds beautiful. One of my favorite voices in kpop.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

This does a great job of showing of her voice, but it just isn't my favorite song on the album. I'd rather listen to Best Friend.
