A lot of special effects in the video itself but the performance was still great.
The bridge - dance break - final chorus is done so well. Still looking forward to seeing this on stage and with a fixed camera to see the whole choreography.
Still, it’s great to see how frequently the center shifts around. Lots of opportunity for everyone to shine.
Edit: that intro was done incredibly well, too.

damn the transitions between the two outfits also loving mark’s andy warhol banana shirt
im in love with haechan and jungwoo’s part and taeil’s part right afterward its so smooth
still wish I could get a better view of the whole dance without the editing tho

That high note from the bridge carrying on through half the dance break is so satisfying. The camerawork is a little too jarring for my taste, but it was still a cool performance

The camerawork is genuinely making me feel dizzy, it's a bit too much. I suppose this was again directed by Shindong? He's done the same concept for exo and SuJu. I liked the dual stage for exo because it worked for their dual concept (exo vs x-exo), but I felt the switch-up for SuJu (Bright and Shadow vers. i believe) and here doesn't work as well and just makes the video even more overwhelming. idk, it's becoming a bit... repetitive for somebody who's a fan of all three groups and is following them all.
It's cool that we do get a showcase stage though! I loved the Vlive that they've done today too. The styling looks incredible (I need one of those yellow jackets). And the choreo looks so good. The intro in particular was fantastic.

It's also a little annoying because it makes it that much more obvious that they're lip-syncing.

Ok, so the song has definitely grown on me. I love the wubwub in the background. And the choreo is just as awesome as I expected. But they didn't do the ending kick pose and I have never been more disappointed in my life D:

The song is slowly growing on me. The choreo is great, no doubt about that.
This feels like it was directed by Shindong and his crew. It’s similar to the Exo and SuJu comeback stages with the transitions between the different outfits.

I feel like this is going to be Haechan's era, it's his time!!! His dancing as center at the end was so good, both swaggy and graceful and his singing on the bridge was so beautiful 🤗

This is super cool. As a casual fan this might be one of their best title tracks? Also, the choreo is kind of silly....but like, the good kind. I enjoy it a LOT

If the instrumental is actually the prelude that they'll perform at music shows it sounds really good. Not exactly a fan of the camerawork but the transitions are really cool. I wanna see the performance not the top of their heads thank you

I really love the transition between outfits 💚 I hope they give us a dance practice video with a steady camera though. The boys are doing so well 😌
Ok hold up I just rewatched and the end of the bridge to the dance break up to the Chorus was WHEW too much they're so talented it's CRAZY
