back by unpopular demand, my thoughts on taemin's advice mv:
first of all this tumbnail slaps
i love the classical piano intro that's very iconic and mood-making of him 😌 show off ur basic piano skills king!
he's giving raven cycle/secret history/six of crows aesthetic tumblr edit circa 2015
love that for him!
this "ay you" part is stylistically lifted STRAIGHT from yunho's thank u...........shinee tvxq clones confirmed 😌
if there's one thing taemin's gonna give u it's neat complex footwork
also i still don't know how i feel abt the hair...........like yeah it's objectively terrible quality but idk it kinda works for some reason 😔
the introduction of highly saturated (?) red after the cold whiteness of the first 50 seconds is shocking (complimentary)
if there's another thing taemin's gonna give u it's intericate hand choreo
WAIT ARE HIS HANDS COVERED IN BLOOD OMG
WAIT NO IT'S DIRT
i feel like most pre-enlistment songs r like rlly sweet like "i love u u make my life better pls don't forget me while i'm at war 🥺" but advice is like "i'm a bad bitch and i'm just getting started and there's nothing u can do abt it 😏😎😌"
"ay you, looking for something to gossip about" vs jonghyun's "i’m just here and they give me something to rip apart, thanks i guess, once that wears out, just switch to a different story i guess," in hashtag
the car crash directly parallels the famous mv omg but also pyn and flame of love
we love car crash symbolism to show someone's dangerous and impulsive and unhinged
WAIT THIS IS CORRUPTED TAEMIN OMG
(referring to my post/theory abt innocence vs corruption in taemin's work and how there's two taemin's: an innocent one and a corrupted one)
him floating suspended like the door performance from the 2018 Sirius tour
the checkered outfit reminds me of that one outfit from the 2kids teasers/mv
there's actually so many callbacks lol
MOVE TANKTOP???????????
the way that scanned down and replaced current taemin w this blatant move era reference is *chef's kiss*
the white crop top tracksuit outfit is SO GOOD
actually this whole choreo in that tracksuit is so gender-blending like the hip choreo when he rolls his hips to this like weird hip isolation/thrusting move that transitions to a crotch grab like.................
if move was like elegant gender then this is messy gender
OKAY U OVERDRAMATIC CATHOLIC WHORE
also the way he started off covered in black but ends covered in white on top of the black is.........a Choice
lee taemin never disappoints tbh he's always gonna deliver smth that demands a reaction instead of like......just doing choreo in a couple rooms and walking around kadkfjddjskflglhjkl
in conclusion stan one of the greatest pop artists alive rn stan taemin <3
