They Lied.
For the first 30 seconds I was really excited about this. It started off so beautifully, the running around, the girl in the water, that echo of a melody, it was every bit the perfect gear-up for a smash hit drama MV. And then the beast kicks in and we snap to a sub-par backdrop for almost a minute before any story aspects come back. The camera movements and angles, the flash to black and white for a few frames, the less than exciting backdrops . . . all in all it seemed like amateur hour. I did like the one back drop with the back-lighting from below, that was cool; and so was the water floor, but that's about all. Their best backdrop was that alleyway, which wasn't a set at all. I'd liked to see them in a lot more non-set settings, running away from gangsters maybe. Or possibly BEING the gangsters. It was a real let-down that the story didn't develop.
The styling's nice, but it's fairly standard fare,and none of the members stood out as wearing it particularly well. The choreography is solid, but nothing special. I liked it a lot, but I would have been able to appreciate it more if C2K Ent had sprung for a Steady-Cam . . . Jitter is an effect to be used sparingly, even in crash and fight scenes, there's zero excuse for it here, particular as the shaking wasn't even in line with the beat or anything dramatic like that. It really just feels very unprofessional.
