"For those who confused in storyline" IU’s character is deaf and taehyung’s one eye is blind. That’s why she uses sign language when they’re eating and she covered taehyung’s left eye at the end to protect it. One theory I read, the couple represents aging people who are close to death and the cube represents the inevitable death. They were reminiscing their youth through the cam recorder which is all cheerful, bright and colorful. However, the reality is not as beautiful, when it’s time for you to go, you have to go. They spent their time together loving each other until their last breath.
Plus they are the last couple on this earth on that mv As you see so many pile of clothes it give hint that all the person who are living there were already vanished by that box which is not a box it represents society as in the mv v is blind from one eye and iu is deaf that's why society can't except those people who have some deflation in them they either troll them make fun of them that it became impossible for them to live like a normal person as they were last so in that last moment they seem to enjoy there last moment through that camera And till the end they were together. That why : LOVE WINS ALL :
@@haloboobear my sweetheart that's also came under the society... Society is the one who spread hate and rumours about people's Society is the one who can't accept people happily they either jealous of there success or more but never accept peoples whole heartily
@@Bangta-n1j yes it is a shame….I can’t imagine what they go through….i can just disagree on something in a comment or my comment isn’t the way another”Army” sees it….and everyone comes after me….even though I never say a negative thing about anyone…it has caused me to quit commenting a lot and interacting with other Armies for fear of being torn apart and it’s WAY WORSE for them 💜💜💜
In a letter to fans and friends before the release of the song, IU said the album tells the story of those who try to love until the end in a world that prevents them from loving. She said "In this album, which contains five songs as a side note, there are two songs dedicated to the people I love, especially my fans, and one of them is this song, Love Win all." IU continued "The reason why I, a pessimistic and worried child, was able to change so much in the meantime may be because there were some people who reassured me every day without being exhausted over the past few decades. Thanks to them, come to think of it, I wrote that I lived as an IU and never was alone for a moment. At the end of the letter, she wrote in a message to fans. "To my diligent fans who have never left me alone. Perhaps I want to say thank you for endlessly cultivating love in my heart, which is a type of evil dryness to be born with. Also, I still don't know for some reason, but I'm very grateful that you've chosen my side every time. As you did to me, I want to be a person with you in the moment of your rise and youth. Next to you, I want to be the one who says, "I'm not scared.We're the coolest." The song and lovely expressions she dedicated to her fans are expressions and promises that we heard from BTS many times as ARMY, so I don't think there's any ARMY who won't be impressed by this song.💜💜🥲🥲
@@cataguti0 ~ IU is her stage name, it means she's lived a lot of her life as a kpop star and was lucky/careful enough to have the kinds of people around her all the time who encouraged her and helped give her the confidence and perspective to be herself and do what she believed in. So often in life the influence of others who don't have your well-being in their hearts, are jealous or envious, can undermine the way you feel about yourself and your decisions. I think, like Taehyung, IU has always been careful to choose only those she trusts to be the ones she listens to and allows close to her.
Heartbreaking at the same time I'm so into her voice.. so magical.. V really showcased his good acting and so as IU... Love them two beautiful people...
actors should be grateful taehyung chose music as his main career HE SO AMAZING The singular tear falling down Taehyung’s cheek as he accepts his fate. Taehyung is such a powerful actor and able to emote feelings of fear and acceptance all in one scene without a single dialogue
The Cube represents society, it is chasing every individual who doesn't fit the standards of society. Here V is half blind, IU is deaf and mute. So they are running from oppression of society. The world is controled by these standards of perfection to the point that people in South Korea put masks on when they don't have make-up or when they feel unsecure or they wear hats when their hair is messy. The MV is a dysopian view of our society. While they are trying to hide in this abondonned place filled with the clothes of people who died because of this oppression, they find a camera that allows them to have an illusion of what their lives could be if they were "normal" by society's standards, it starts with their looks, they could see how they would have looked like, then what they would eat, then they start to feel the illusion a bit too much to the point they beautifully imagine that IU could sing and V could sing as well and she could listen to his voice, they could marry each other and just have fun and eat whatever they want because they wouldn't have to care about society or any other kind of oppression. However, as soon as they feel a little bit of confort and try to live their life, the Cube (society) finds them again and push them to retreat and flee again, but the Cube managed to find them again, they try to survive against it and try to fight it as hard as they can, but they cannot beat a stronger system, they just give up but at least they stayed together until the end. Even if they died at the end, they loved each other deeply, it shows that even if society is oppressive, people can love each other and they can find their soulmate even if they are not "normal or perfect" to the eyes of some many others. The pile of clothes is like from Spring Day, these people died because of injustice, but they deserved love, so the pile of clothes can look very gloomy and sad, but as in Spring Day MV if you don't forget them you can seem them happy and free where they are now.
The 'pile of clothes' in Spring Day was a metaphor for loss and longing; RM said it was inspired by the loss of a friend, but also the Bong Joon Ho movie 'Snowpiercer' and the book 'The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas' by Ursula K. Le Guin; and though there are links that imply a connection to the Sewol Ferry disaster, BTS have never confirmed it. The artistic imagery of the pile of clothes BTS MV producers used is in homage to the artistic installation 'Personnes' by Christian Boltanski, 2010. An installation which speaks of souls who weren't ready to die, but died painfully ~ the implication being at the hands of others. In this case, in the IU MV, the 'hands' being society in the way it mocks (as in the faceless figures in the banquet scene IU and Taehyung fight off), marginalises and discards those disabled or not born 'perfect' to fit in the 'normal' box (the box that is chasing them).
I knew this mv was going to be excellent, but I didn't expect it to move we all like this. The tenderness (almost innocence?) between them was so disarming. And then the hopelessness of it all... I was so immersed that I could feel their fear and despair.. V and IU's acting and chemistry are so excellent. I loved the fact that Taehyung was not the stereotypical fearless male lead. That man was terrified (he acted it so well!!) and that made everything, including his moment of bravery, feel even more real.
I think it's NOT abt IU protecting Tae or they representing just a couple in love/ male lead & female lead love story.... the MV has more deeper meaning like Celebrites / artists like them in the entertainment industry judged by ppl/fans abt their choices in love life IU ( her charecter is a deaf in the MV) representing ppl in love who does not want to HEAR what the society /fans tell them wrong and right abt their Love life Taehyung (his character is partialy blind) representing True/pure LOVE = Love doesn't need to be perfect it just need to be true or Love is blind CUbe : Judgemental society/fans chasing after artist's personal life Their injured status : Reality of their life Camcorder visuals : The freedom they want in real life Taehyung character ' true love ' leaning her left side/heart... IU character covering his good eye ; She will take her true love with her even if she die....discribing that celebrties are real ppl they has to be their own freedom in their personal life..they are not fans personal property.....
What an incredible acting from them. Beautiful song and lyrics. Apparently the crowd in the wedding scene is actually mocking them, pointing their fingers, trying to destroy their happiness, criticizing them, and booing. But they are ignoring them. Bcs these two love is stronger than what others think. Love Wins All. I MISS TAE SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
lol Marisol 😭 now you can ship their characters in the MV lol. Such a beautiful song and amazing acting by both of them. I criedddd lol. This really makes me want to see Tae in a kdrama or film. I really do hope he gets the opportunity to star in one soon, he's amazing !
Thanks for this reaction familia… your expressions were like mine when watching this first time! Also the song lyrically is dedicated to IU’s fans who have accompanied her through out all the highs and lows according to the letter she released before this release. Her letter was very touching. I’ve included the key points that IU’s agency released this morning from their official MV interpretation guide from the director at the end of my comment (my comment is my initial thoughts and reactions before reading the interpretation guide.) For those who want to know the ‘official’ intended meaning of MV feel free to skip and scroll to the end of my comment. It’s so interesting to see how wrong some of us were… and how right some of us were… and I was pleased that some of the points I was right on but I totally didn’t pick up on the ending being positive actually… and ‘freeing them from oppression and pressure’. I thought it was a sad ending initially. It’s so 8nteresting to rewatch the MV after reading the official interpretation guide too. I think it’s a good lesson on our very preconceived ideas of love. Personally when I first watched it… the MV moved me to tears. The song was intricately and exquisitely beautiful… IU’s Vocals gave me goosebumps. The subtlety in the acting was perfection and the visuals by both… just wow. Tae in all his sweetness, softness and gentleness was the honestly the definition of prettiness. There was something so beautifully vulnerable and delicate about him, that touched my soul. In terms of the meaning… In the Korean press releases of this song used in all the articles yesterday… IU said that: ‘I want to respect and support everyone who loves and lives in various ways with love rather than hate’ this and the statement before when the song was called Love Wins was released which talked about people who face prejudices and obstacles in love… Personally make me think that it’s showing that many people in love face stigma’s and obstacles for whatever reason in life for things that they are born with and have no control over. Personally I think when they look through the camera they see the perfect world in which everyone can live without the lense of hate where people don’t see you or judge you for your stigma’s or labels but they see the whole you. Another thing that I find beautiful with the sign language involved is that both IU and Tae have a history of sign language. IU with her ear condition and Tae has communicated in official sign language many times (his birthday is even celebrated by some of deaf community in S.K). When it comes to the box I agree with your take, society trying to put us in a box… I also feel the box was representing the hate that tears people down and strips them of their humanity out of predjiduce. Personally I feel there was a wider message in this MV and feel that Tae very specifically chose to appear in this MV because of the message. I’ve lost count of times over the years where he has said he would like to side with the marginalised or the minority in life. From the creation of his drawn characters in numerous content, to his BT21 character, to his fairytale character he chose in the 7th Army Zip content that was tragically killed for being different. I feel like this MV very much fits with that ethos of representing and identifying with the marginalised in society. Also I think the message that love allows us to see the world with a healing and whole lense too. When IU sings ‘all love is love’ ‘all love wins’ in amongst the lyrics I got goosebumps. This MV for me was very much Art. And the song was beautiful. Fantastic job IU and Tae. Thanks for this reaction. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Update: IU’s agency released an interpretation guide: '''Square box' can be interpreted to mean discrimination against the protagonists, and furthermore, to mean various kinds of discrimination and oppression that are prevalent in our daily lives." "2. KEY ITEM "Camcorder"Meaning Next, there is the existence of the 'camcorder' that appeared in every pre-promotion content. The time setting in the video is the present, but the settings on the screen where the camcorder is recorded are the world that was intact before it wasdestroyed. The lens of a camcorder is a love filter. It can also be seen as an important device that allows us to look beyond the inner or outer appearance of the characters and look at the beautiful things in the world. In the world of the camcorder, they are not as messy as in real life, but lively and well-groomed, eating delicious food prepared in a beautiful manner, and enjoying the happiness they have only imagined as they walk through many spaces in glossy dresses and tuxedos." "4. Why wedding dresses and tuxedos? Last but not least, a wedding dress and a tuxedo. IU and V each picked out a wedding dress and a tuxedo from the ruins. Here, the wedding dress and tuxedo symbolize the most cliché, "the fruit of love." In the movie, the two wear these clothes, take pictures, and have fun singing and having fun, all of which are difficult to do in everyday life, and enjoy happiness for a while. In the end, however, the bodies are destroyed by the squares, leaving only the clothes they were wearing. The two are implied to be lifted into the air in the final camcorder footage, meaning that they are free to fly free from all oppression and pressure. Crucially, the dresses and tuxedos falling from the sky also have the implication of questioning whether the forms that are considered meaningful and important in reality show their true essence?”
One of the topics in Korean society these days is hate. Hate has always existed, but it has become a big problem, especially these days. Hate among politics, society, economy, generation, and gender is intensifying. Not only celebrities but also their fans are being hated. It's a song that says, "Let's overcome the age of hate with love." 'Cube' refers to discrimination against the main characters, and furthermore, various discriminations and oppression prevalent in our daily lives. The setting value of the screen on which the camcorder is taken is a world that was fine before it was ruined. The two are implied to be floating in the air on the last camcorder screen, meaning they can fly free from all kinds of oppression and pressure.
Am I the only one hoping they'd kiss somehow? I love their chemistry! This was so heartfluttering and heartbreaking at the same time. Thanks for the reaction, familia!
The world is healing!!! Im happy that they can act like this with someone without getting hate 😭😭 i mean we don't really care abt those fans plus this is so rare to happen soI'm just so happy that my 7 can do all the things they enjoy and want to
if you guys haven’t heard about this, IU is deaf in this video which is why her and tae don’t talk, and tae is blind in one eye which is why she covered the one at the end to protect it so he doesn’t see the end.
태형이는 항상 연기에 대한 갈망이 있었어요. 각종 억압과 견제로 그동안 잠재되어 있던 연기를 아이유님 뮤비를 통해 발산되었어요. 태형이의 뛰어난 감정표현과 표정연기 모두 최고예요. 전역 후 그의 연기활동에 팬들의 열렬한 지지가 필요합니다. 그룹활동과 소속사의 바램만 지킬 순 없어요 태형이가 연기할 수 있게 응원해주세요🙏🫡💜
The fact that Suga's sugar cube is a Guest in the credits.. so unserious 😂 Cried every time I watch the MV. Beautifully done! Actor Kim Taehyung everyone!
I don't know if many people noticed but in the end IU squeeze her hand on taehyung 3 time and 3 squeezes is a common non-verbal sign to convey love to your loved ones and it's meaning is "i love you".
Marisol was really ahead of her time. She shipped them back then in IU's palette when nobody knew they both are gonna be married in a mv. She won hard😂💜
Yessss! In a word: devastating! In both a good and sad way! I would love to see the “making of” video too! And along with their “facial acting” I was also moved by how their emotions were expressed through their hands and touches: IU expressing so much tenderness in the way she touched V’s face; V expressing fear, strength, love in the way he clutches her hand at the end! Her shielding his good eye from the destruction, and that single tear from her eye…devastating! Mesmerizing and hauntingly beautiful!💜
Such a beautiful and emotional video featuring amazing acting and vocals that makes the experience so personal. I really do hope that Tae & IU do other projects together both film and music as they have great chemistry and when he was on her show their voices also blended so well. Also at the end it was pointed out by someone that he can hear what is coming but she can't, while she can see what is coming but she covers his good eye so he can't. Both cry at the same moment though and from the same left eye. Also the right side of his face seems to have burn scars so maybe he had encountered a cube before but got away at the last minute. This cube was relentless in its pursuit and even seemed to change size so it could come into the building. Earlier when it was flying overhead you could tell no way it could fit inside those hallways. I also noticed the cube waits for them to stop fighting and accept their fate. If you notice there are no other people so obviously no person is able to meet the criteria this cube holds that would allow someone to survive. The camcorder that kept showing a better reality, was giving us the viewer a happier version of the events. They both rise in the air together, their bodies still solid, while the reality is that they have been turned to ash. At the top of the camcorder right before it turns off you see ash particles in the air. I also loved how the clothes landed together on the pile. Again all of this symbolizing that even though they seemingly lost to the cube, it couldn't destroy their love for each other. They stayed together in life and death, so indeed their love did win. I can't get enough of this MV, the acting is Oscar level and combined with the award worthy vocals and lyrics it's both heartbreaking but also heartwarming that at least they went together.
Just like Uthman said, its really is like a Kdrama condensed in 4mns. And also, i have same reaction with Marisol at the wedding scene...Both and IU and V are great actors.. Amazing MV and kind sad song, but i love it so much.
IU's voice sounds majestic and their acting felt so real. Glad that IU asked Tae to shoot the MV with her. These two were given National Titles by the Korean Media and netizens. IU "Nation's Sweetheart" and Tae "Nation's Treasure". Can't wait to see them acting together in a series. Thank you for reacting to IU's song.
I was waiting for u soo much.........I cried watching it, IU voice is soo beautiful and their acting was so great. In the video V was half blind and IU was deaf and couldn't speak ........
V and IU are both magnificent in this MV. Tae's whole body was in actor mode. Just a few things to point out. The curling in of the shoulders as they entered the building shows he's unsure, fearful. Contrast that to the rage he showed when he was trying to beat the cr*p out of the cube. My favorite part was the hand grab towards the end. Did you see the slight trembling of their hands? Even V's veins were acting! And he managed to sneak in a TATA MIC FACE as IU was brushing the crumbs off his lips when he noticed the characters in black came in! 💯
Same marisol ha even though IU is taken they look so good together esp in this mv now i want a kdrama with them two😭also uthman predicted the future haha
0:34 Marisol the moment i watched the music video i really couldnt wait for your reaction 🤣 like I know you would love it so much because taehyung and iu are so cute together
the most beautiful mv I have ever watched. their chemistry is so together it definitely makes you think that they are a couple in love. the storyline is a sad one but they die together. who wouldnt want to leave this world alongside loved ones? a beautiful song and an even more beautiful mv.
I rushed home after work and finally saw the MV and listened to the song. I am overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions. I'll just say...wow...stospheric both...wow...
v is representing all different people with a disability lik the blindness and he is also deaf. that no matter who you are, you deserve to be loved. i saw this in korea now and it really make sence now
Realmente es hermoso todo, la voz de IU, la melodía, la letra, la escenografía, las actuaciones de V y IU 👏👏👏👏 te transmite demasiadas emociones, felicidad, ternura, desesperación, angustia, dolor, amor... 😭 Es desgarradoramente hermoso😭 💜🐻
Тэхён лучший АКТЁР, самый КРАСИВЫЙ актёр, очень талантливый и абсолютно УНИКАЛЬНЫЙ во всех своих многочисленных талантах. Я горжусь и восхищаюсь Тэхёном вот уже 9 долгих лет, он такой ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ и НЕПОВТОРИМЫЙ в нашем мире, он ОСОБЕННЫЙ.
This MV is very outstandingly successful and entertaining. IU's singing her new son is just beautiful. Both V and IU are very talented actors.This is geared for a total success for both IU and our global beloved V aka Kim Taehyung💜💜💜💜💜borahae🙏🙏for Tae's current training💜💜💜💜💜
I think this is the most beautiful mv I've watched in awhile 😭❤️ IU and V have such chemistry and it's so beautiful, and I agree they do look absolutely cute together. I was smiling so hard watching this film / MV btw V is blind in one eye in this MV and IU is deaf .
"For those who confused in storyline"
IU’s character is deaf and taehyung’s one eye is blind. That’s why she uses sign language when they’re eating and she covered taehyung’s left eye at the end to protect it.

What does she mean by she lived as an IU
@@cataguti0 ~ IU is her stage name, it means she's lived a lot of her life as a kpop star and was lucky/careful enough to have the kinds of people around her all the time who encouraged her and helped give her the confidence and perspective to be herself and do what she believed in. So often in life the influence of others who don't have your well-being in their hearts, are jealous or envious, can undermine the way you feel about yourself and your decisions.

I agree with your interpretation a lot. I also feel that the cube represents the society, especially the Korean one, for celebrities in general.

I thought it was a sad ending initially. It’s so 8nteresting to rewatch the MV after reading the official interpretation guide too. I think it’s a good lesson on our very preconceived ideas of love.
Personally when I first watched it… the MV moved me to tears. The song was intricately and exquisitely beautiful… IU’s Vocals gave me goosebumps. The subtlety in the acting was perfection and the visuals by both… just wow. Tae in all his sweetness, softness and gentleness was the honestly the definition of prettiness. There was something so beautifully vulnerable and delicate about him, that touched my soul.
In terms of the meaning… In the Korean press releases of this song used in all the articles yesterday… IU said that: ‘I want to respect and support everyone who loves and lives in various ways with love rather than hate’ this and the statement before when the song was called Love Wins was released which talked about people who face prejudices and obstacles in love… Personally make me think that it’s showing that many people in love face stigma’s and obstacles for whatever reason in life for things that they are born with and have no control over. Personally I think when they look through the camera they see the perfect world in which everyone can live without the lense of hate where people don’t see you or judge you for your stigma’s or labels but they see the whole you. Another thing that I find beautiful with the sign language involved is that both IU and Tae have a history of sign language. IU with her ear condition and Tae has communicated in official sign language many times (his birthday is even celebrated by some of deaf community in S.K). When it comes to the box I agree with your take, society trying to put us in a box… I also feel the box was representing the hate that tears people down and strips them of their humanity out of predjiduce. Personally I feel there was a wider message in this MV and feel that Tae very specifically chose to appear in this MV because of the message. I’ve lost count of times over the years where he has said he would like to side with the marginalised or the minority in life. From the creation of his drawn characters in numerous content, to his BT21 character, to his fairytale character he chose in the 7th Army Zip content that was tragically killed for being different. I feel like this MV very much fits with that ethos of representing and identifying with the marginalised in society. Also I think the message that love allows us to see the world with a healing and whole lense too. When IU sings ‘all love is love’ ‘all love wins’ in amongst the lyrics I got goosebumps.
This MV for me was very much Art. And the song was beautiful. Fantastic job IU and Tae. Thanks for this reaction. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Update: IU’s agency released an interpretation guide:
'''Square box' can be interpreted to mean discrimination against the protagonists, and furthermore, to mean various kinds of discrimination and oppression that are prevalent in our daily lives."
"2. KEY ITEM "Camcorder"Meaning
Next, there is the existence of the 'camcorder' that appeared in every pre-promotion content. The time setting in the video is the present, but the settings on the screen where the camcorder is recorded are the world that was intact before it wasdestroyed. The lens of a camcorder is a love filter. It can also be seen as an important device that allows us to look beyond the inner or outer appearance of the characters and look at the beautiful things in the world. In the world of the camcorder, they are not as messy as in real life, but lively and well-groomed, eating delicious food prepared in a beautiful manner, and enjoying the happiness they have only imagined as they walk through many spaces in glossy dresses and tuxedos."
"4. Why wedding dresses and tuxedos? Last but not least, a wedding dress and a tuxedo. IU and V each picked out a wedding dress and a tuxedo from the ruins.
Here, the wedding dress and tuxedo symbolize the most cliché, "the fruit of love." In the movie, the two wear these clothes, take pictures, and have fun singing and having fun, all of which are difficult to do in everyday life, and enjoy happiness for a while. In the end, however, the bodies are destroyed by the squares, leaving only the clothes they were wearing. The two are implied to be lifted into the air in the final camcorder footage, meaning that they are free to fly free from all oppression and pressure. Crucially, the dresses and tuxedos falling from the sky also have the implication of questioning whether the forms that are considered meaningful and important in reality show their true essence?”
Thanks!!!
Honestly made me cry 😭
One of the topics in Korean society these days is hate. Hate has always existed, but it has become a big problem, especially these days. Hate among politics, society, economy, generation, and gender is intensifying. Not only celebrities but also their fans are being hated. It's a song that says, "Let's overcome the age of hate with love."
'Cube' refers to discrimination against the main characters, and furthermore, various discriminations and oppression prevalent in our daily lives.
The setting value of the screen on which the camcorder is taken is a world that was fine before it was ruined.
The two are implied to be floating in the air on the last camcorder screen, meaning they can fly free from all kinds of oppression and pressure.
Beautiful mv, beautiful voice and the acting omg 😭
Am I the only one hoping they'd kiss somehow? I love their chemistry! This was so heartfluttering and heartbreaking at the same time. Thanks for the reaction, familia!
No you're not the only one 😭😭i was expecting them to kiss 😭
The world is healing!!! Im happy that they can act like this with someone without getting hate 😭😭 i mean we don't really care abt those fans plus this is so rare to happen soI'm just so happy that my 7 can do all the things they enjoy and want to
dude believe me too, but i'm also scared cz we all know
what's gonna happen
It was better without the kissing scene
if you guys haven’t heard about this, IU is deaf in this video which is why her and tae don’t talk, and tae is blind in one eye which is why she covered the one at the end to protect it so he doesn’t see the end.
You asking is about " what was your opinion and thought"
So mine is GIVE THEM OSCAR MAN!!!! They are acting is just incredible as they both ❤😍
My V 💜 so beautiful acting
The mv made me cry. It was so good I swear.....seeing tae in it was so good
Absolutely fantastically beautifully sad!💜 Couldn't do one word😊
태형이는 항상 연기에 대한 갈망이 있었어요. 각종 억압과 견제로 그동안 잠재되어 있던 연기를 아이유님 뮤비를 통해 발산되었어요. 태형이의 뛰어난 감정표현과 표정연기 모두 최고예요. 전역 후 그의 연기활동에 팬들의 열렬한 지지가 필요합니다. 그룹활동과 소속사의 바램만 지킬 순 없어요 태형이가 연기할 수 있게 응원해주세요🙏🫡💜
Dude i was ugly crying throughout the whole mv and for about 10 mins after 🥹🥹🥹
ME TOO NEED KDRAMA OF THIS PLEASE *crying loudly*
The fact that Suga's sugar cube is a Guest in the credits.. so unserious 😂 Cried every time I watch the MV. Beautifully done! Actor Kim Taehyung everyone!
One word to describe it : VIsUal
I saw the mv last night and i cried like a baby... so sad... great song right... i should stnby tissue if i wanna watch it...
One word?
CINEMA
ART
MAGNIFISCENT
This mv in one word is... impossible to describe in one word😭😭💔❤❤❤❤❤❤
im crying everytime i see the mv... oh my god!!!! iu voice make crying so hard.. and the acting was superbbb omg
Really taehyung and IU did very beautiful acting in this Mv .... 🤌💖💜🫶🫶🫶🤌🫰🫰💜💜💜💜💫💫💫💫
She covered his good eye, so he couldn't see his ending... they looked amazing together 🥰🥰💜💜👏👏
I don't know if many people noticed but in the end IU squeeze her hand on taehyung 3 time and 3 squeezes is a common non-verbal sign to convey love to your loved ones and it's meaning is "i love you".
Thanks for sharing with us
I'm crying 😭💜 Their perfect Our Tae Tae😭💜
Taehyungiii actor again, just he make me cry again!
Marisol was really ahead of her time. She shipped them back then in IU's palette when nobody knew they both are gonna be married in a mv. She won hard😂💜
I love IU and Kim Taehyung 💜✌️
Their acting is really ❤
Yessss! In a word: devastating! In both a good and sad way!
I would love to see the “making of” video too!
And along with their “facial acting” I was also moved by how their emotions were expressed through their hands and touches: IU expressing so much tenderness in the way she touched V’s face; V expressing fear, strength, love in the way he clutches her hand at the end! Her shielding his good eye from the destruction, and that single tear from her eye…devastating!
Mesmerizing and hauntingly beautiful!💜
So well said!!
Such a beautiful and emotional video featuring amazing acting and vocals that makes the experience so personal. I really do hope that Tae & IU do other projects together both film and music as they have great chemistry and when he was on her show their voices also blended so well. Also at the end it was pointed out by someone that he can hear what is coming but she can't, while she can see what is coming but she covers his good eye so he can't. Both cry at the same moment though and from the same left eye. Also the right side of his face seems to have burn scars so maybe he had encountered a cube before but got away at the last minute. This cube was relentless in its pursuit and even seemed to change size so it could come into the building. Earlier when it was flying overhead you could tell no way it could fit inside those hallways. I also noticed the cube waits for them to stop fighting and accept their fate. If you notice there are no other people so obviously no person is able to meet the criteria this cube holds that would allow someone to survive. The camcorder that kept showing a better reality, was giving us the viewer a happier version of the events. They both rise in the air together, their bodies still solid, while the reality is that they have been turned to ash. At the top of the camcorder right before it turns off you see ash particles in the air. I also loved how the clothes landed together on the pile. Again all of this symbolizing that even though they seemingly lost to the cube, it couldn't destroy their love for each other. They stayed together in life and death, so indeed their love did win. I can't get enough of this MV, the acting is Oscar level and combined with the award worthy vocals and lyrics it's both heartbreaking but also heartwarming that at least they went together.
Their chemistry was so good I need them in a drama
This MV and V and IU's acting made me cry so much. It still does
I legitimately cried watching this, their acting, IU's sweet voice... My eye cosplayed as a waterfall twice in the same day 🥹💜💜
marisol's face everytime tae & iu were acting in love. 😊
Just like Uthman said, its really is like a Kdrama condensed in 4mns. And also, i have same reaction with Marisol at the wedding scene...Both and IU and V are great actors.. Amazing MV and kind sad song, but i love it so much.
Everytime I watch this over and over it keeps getting better
IU's voice sounds majestic and their acting felt so real. Glad that IU asked Tae to shoot the MV with her. These two were given National Titles by the Korean Media and netizens. IU "Nation's Sweetheart" and Tae "Nation's Treasure". Can't wait to see them acting together in a series. Thank you for reacting to IU's song.
These two should be a couple ... They match so perfectly 🥰 ❤....
I was waiting for u soo much.........I cried watching it, IU voice is soo beautiful and their acting was so great. In the video V was half blind and IU was deaf and couldn't speak ........
I was in tears, even after watching few times. Even now watching w/ u, i can't help being emotional. IU's vocals is amazing.🙌🏻
I love these "movie-MVs". This with IU voice and acting with V, we got cherrys on top of the cake... and I cried and cry...
This is the best ballad! IU and Taehyung's incredible music video that melts the extreme cold of midwinter! Tears just won't stop😭😭😭
V and IU are both magnificent in this MV. Tae's whole body was in actor mode. Just a few things to point out. The curling in of the shoulders as they entered the building shows he's unsure, fearful. Contrast that to the rage he showed when he was trying to beat the cr*p out of the cube. My favorite part was the hand grab towards the end. Did you see the slight trembling of their hands? Even V's veins were acting! And he managed to sneak in a TATA MIC FACE as IU was brushing the crumbs off his lips when he noticed the characters in black came in! 💯
Taetae's acting and IU's honey voice is just admirable.💜
So emotional😢😢 V and IU acting so good voice and song acting perfect match V is defarent telent all singing dancing acting so I love it 💜💜💜
Same marisol ha even though IU is taken they look so good together esp in this mv now i want a kdrama with them two😭also uthman predicted the future haha
