[MV Review] Akdong Musician - 200%

So Akdong Musician finally made their debut... After spending so long in the YG basement, people were getting concerned and wondering if they were ever going to see the light of day ever again. With "200%," we can see that their time down there was... interesting, to say the least.

The end.



All jokes aside, this MV is indeed that boring. It's just your standard lighthearted tsundere girl-stalks-guy rom-com-esque storyline. No seriously.

Girl's got it bad. But stalking eventually turns to hope for fangirls all over the world that no matter how unfortunate your looks may be, you still have a chance with the oppa of your dreams. The sister half of Akdong Musician climbs her way out of the friend zone, and it looks as if she's finally made it to the promised land. Just barely one roofie date away from getting that d, reality suddenly sets in harder than Taeyang's Wedding Dress.

I really enjoyed that unfolding effect though, ngl.

This shit makes his strug feel like child's play, man. Shit was brutal. In the end though, our protagonist tsundere never turns to yandere to solve her problems. Honestly speaking, this MV would have been soooooooooo much better if she had gone Gasai Yuno on that other bitch trying to steal her man.

"Oppaaaaaaa~! We'll be together foreeeeeever~!"

At any rate, much like the MV itself, the song isn't much more intaersldkjfkjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjhufaf;

(A/N: This is where I fell asleep trying to remember the song.)


All jokes aside (again), I really did NOT enjoy that sing talky rap shiet at the beginning. I was under the impression that Akdong Musician was a brother-sister singing duo, so that rap was really jarring. I dunno, it felt like someone was trying to force some magic to happen where it was clearly not clicking. I will give credit where credit is due, though. I like the sister's vocal color, it's very clear and resonant. Whoever mixed this track did a damn good job of it. The brother's voice kinda sounds like what Jay Park would if he could carry a tune, or maybe I'm just imagining things.

The full effect of the song is not that special. I mean sure, it's okay if you like this kind of thing. Yes, it's not as bad as Busker Busker, but it's still pretty damn boring. I just don't get the appeal.

TL;DR: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

+:

• the foldy third-wheel reveal montage was kinda cool

-:

• song's boring
• MV's boring
• wasted yandere potential
• wtf are they wearing?
• poor things should have known what was in store when they signed that contract

I give it 2's out of 5.
