Um, Wow?
The handcuff imagery was what really caught me in this one. The styling and the Choreography are both pretty +19 by Korean standards, but honestly it's not nearly as outrageous as I thought it might be based on the firestorm it's generated online. Sure, it's more than I'm particularly a fan of, but they're perfectly allowed to demonstrate sexuality more explicitly that I personally enjoy watching. There's no glamorization of force or violence or anything, so I'm totally in love with the visual depiction of the emotional entrapment depicted in the lyrics. I like the song, over all. It isn't ground breaking; musically, it's pretty bland. It's lovely background music, the soft and smoothe vocals are gorgeous, harmonizing beautifully and taking well to the emphasis placed on them by the synth's decorative trills. Aside from the vocals though, there's nothing of much interest to listen to, it's repetitive and never really goes anywhere. But still, lyrically, it's a nice look at the psychological struggle of an abusive relationship, and it does so without valorizing the abuse.
The video is well produced, with clean lines and smoothe transitions. It's sexy and sultry and made to draw attention to the lyrics, which it does perfectly. There's no storyline though, but honestly I don't think this song could support a drawn out story.
