Ok, so the music video for this came out a couple of days ago, and as you guys may know from my last post, I was really excited about it. I'm honestly a little disappointed by the music video. I looked about the lyrics for the song and the English translation of them, and I found that they weren't really related to the video.
The music video made me feel like Taemin was trying too hard to be the "bad boy" type. Robbing a store, making secret transactions, kidnapping, almost getting arrested, etc. I believe the story was that Taemin and his friends rob a convenience store, and start enjoying the money and stuff. Maybe the worker turned them in or something, but they get caught and arrested, except Taemin. the rest I don't really get. I found some scenes a little disturbing, such as the whole kidnapping part, but yeah, it's my personal opinion. One scene that also really bugs me, it's not disturbing or anything, but it's just so unrealistic, was the robbing scene. There is no way in hell (mind my language, if you consider this a bad word) that he wouldn't get arrested right away with how he was doing that robbery.
The dancing sequences were, by far, my favorite part of the video. Every time I see Taemin dance I just get speechless. He's just soo overwhelmingly good at dancing that I can't even. I could watch him dance ALL DAY LONG. I also love the camera movement during the dance sequences. If you really want to look at this, just go to the bridge of the song and you'll see the AMAZING camera work for the dance sequences.
Throughout the entire video, Taemin wore sooo many different outfits and some of them really caught my attention. The outfit he wore to rob the store was nice and simple, just something you'd usually wear. I LOVE the leather jacket in this outfit. The maroon suit also caught my attention. I LOVE the color of this suit, but I don't like the frills. The outfit he wore with the flannel, beanie and jeans I also really like for it was simple, normal clothes, that just look good.
The song itself is alright. Personally, I prefer Drip Drop. I'm not a big fan of the verses, but I really LOVE the chorus and bridge. I really think that the bridge and chorus are exquisite and make this song. It's really catchy and I really love it. The background music is also great and the harmonies are fantastic. The ending of the song was PERFECT.
I also watched the performance video of Press Your Number, and I very much preferred that to the music video. His dance was just sooo great. Like Drip Drop, I absolutely LOVED him dancing in the outside, it really just added sooo much to the video. The dancing, of course, was perfect. There's one dance move he does that I kind of laugh at, I don't know why, it's like the hip thrust on the ground? I can't really describe it. The camera work, like the dancing parts in the music video, were GREAT! It adds a lot to the video. However, his outfit i didn't really like. The long sleeved, collar shirt with the black turtleneck and loose black pants, not exactly attractive. Anyway, when I saw that it was Performance Video Ver. 1, I freaked out, because that means there is going to be ANOTHER! I'm honestly sooo excited for the next performance video to come out.
So, umm, please comment your thoughts on the video. I would really love some clarification on the story in this video, so if someone could comment that, I'd be forever grateful. If you would like to watch the video again, I put it below. So.. yeah
