OOP..., thoughts on be mine?? I need other people to think for me rn, i can't think, i have junji's high note in repeat in my mind - 🕯️ anon
ANON HI HI <33 i have soo many thoughts and also no thoughts at the same time, just the mv and song playing on loop in my mind 😵💫
my thoughts are, it's soooo good, both the song and mv, it's sexy, it's romantic, it leaves room for rolo to expand on the story, it's everything <3 i absolutely adore the contrast in sound between the piano intro, the first two verses + chorus, and the third verse. the transition between the sounds was done sooo well, none of it felt jarring, but it still felt fresh/unpredictable (i might actually be okay with it being a lil more jarring bc i feel like ooo could pull off a sudden sound switch rly well, but what they have here sounds rly good, and they always have the future to experiment w diff types of switch ups)
and yes!! junhyung vocals!! i especially love his vocals in the post-chorus, esp the "baby will be mine" lines, he just sounds sooo smooth and sexy <3 and of course, the high note <33
the lyrics are soooo 😵💫 some notable fave lines of mine are
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and the mv!! there was so Much happening there i feel like i dont have coherent thoughts, but some fave moments: rie whispering in junji's ear (sungho said on weverse that he said: "see you next time/let's meet again" which like,,,,he's so sexy im 😵💫), the paper cranes (!!), the tenderness of rie laying in junji's lap, the water hose scene, the popsicles, the back hug, and like ofc the ending (i realize i just listed like every scene in the mv p much)
story-wise, the vibes of mv junrie feel so distinct and different from mv kyujung, which is good bc i was a Tiny tiny bit worried that if all 3 units were gonna be doing romance storylines that they'd start to feel samey, but that doesnt seem to be the case at all <3 the whole thing w kyujung is that they were both unsure and building up the courage to be together and them finally feeling that joy of being free
with junrie, the hesitation is largely not there, both junji and rie have this confidence in their interactions, in their flirting that kyujung didn't, like the focus of junrie's story doesnt seem to be the struggle to feel safe and confident in one's sexuality, their characters are, at least more than kyujung, past that stage (this is an obvious oversimplification of things but u get me)
and sungho and junhyung did such a good job of portraying that confidence!! these two shots and their expressions in particular rly conveyed it well imo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but of course, there's also that moment in the cafe at the end right before the maybe-kiss, where there's tension and rie seems unsure of Something, it makes me think that perhaps rolo is going to be the fallout, the angst
overall, the story is giving me passionate summer fling, whirlwind romance that was never meant to last, like the way everything progressed much faster than kyujung's storyline paired with the tension in that last scene reads that way to me
but i may be wrong so we'll see!! speaking of, it seems i was indeed wrong abt the dark vs light/satanic tempter storyline, it seems like for these solos, they're going for smth more like,,,,down to earth (? that's not exactly the right phrase but i cant think of smth better rn) and less conceptually-dense lore heavy, which i personally find minorly disappointing bc i do love their conceptually dense lore, But these solos and their mvs have been sooo well done so far i rly have little to actually be disappointed abt (also, this is ooo we're talking abt, it's always possible this still does tie into their other lore in one way or another in the end)
anyways, those are my first impression thoughts for now! but lord knows i'll have so much more to say tmr and after too after i process this more askdf
