[MV Review] Girl's Day - Oh! My God

When I wrote SISTAR's MV review asking for a girl group to get crunk at da club, I wasn't really expecting results. Girl's Day's latest comeback kinda sorta hits the spot but not in the way you'd expect.

Oh! My God's MV is surprisingly a pseudo-storyline MV with some dancy and close-up bits scattered in there for flavor. Despite how that may sound, Girl's Day pulls it off surprisingly well.

Beginning with a continuity nod to Twinkle Twinkle's storyline, Minah is dropped off at a library by what seems to be her dad. Who knows. Sorta like what any teenager would do to get out of the house, we quickly realize that the whole thing was a set up. Minah sheds her schoolgirl outfit and dons her funky fresh dancing outfit as the "library" is revealed to be a nightclub. The rest of the MV details her hijinks throughout the night as she goes in and challenges all the club's dance bosses. 

This pretty much sets the tone for the entire MV. And it is just as wacky as it looks.

Continuing their trend of lighthearted MVs, Girl's Day don't take themselves seriously with this MV at all. They don't exactly get crunk in da club, but the whole thing sure feels like an acid trip at times. Where other groups might seem lazy or sloppy, the girls pull it off with a combination of ridiculous aegyo and charm. Some of the zanier bits for your viewing pleasure:

Introducing the Blowjob dance,  fap dance ain't got shit.

Fatal attraction.

What is this I don't even

The dance for the song is just as weird as the MV.

Air guitar? Bunny hop?

Khunfused bunnies??

The entire MV is full of color and energy, so much so that it washed out most of my gifs. Anyways, the casual viewer might find the random sound effects to be annoying, but it was nothing too overwhelming in my opinion. The outfits are pretty weird, but everyone is styled well and looks good. 

No Sojin, you don't need to throw up this time.

The song itself is the aegyopop that Girl's Day has apparently adopted as their official sound, Nothing Lasts Forever be damned. It's a pretty catchy song, but nothing phenomenal in my opinion. The climax of the song features Minah's usual vocal runs, but they're not as crazy or prominent as the ones in previous releases. There's nothing really to bring this song down (except maybe the rather long portion reserved for a dance break), but at the same time there's nothing particularly stand out about the song to attract new fans of either the genre or the group. The instrumental is kinda nice for incorporating some old-school 8bit electro effects though. The MV is a different story however, it definitely did its job of selling the song to me. 

Appropriate metaphor: If this song was Minah, then I'd be
the Yura casually slinking over to it.

TL;DR:

Wacky and bizarre schizoMV for a pretty decent Girl's Day-trademarked aegyopop song.

I would give it a 3.25 out of 5 for the song itself, but the MV bumps it up to a 3.75 for me. IT'S JUST SO FUCKING WACK I CAN'T HELP MYSELF
