Well, that’s dramatic
by javabeans
Continuing the grand tradition of over-the-top, supertragic kpop music videos is this latest one starring actors Lee Min-jung (Boys Before Flowers) and Kim Seung-woo (How to Meet a Perfect Neighbor), for new male pop group December.
The MV was shot on the afternoon of August 17 in Yangju, Kyunggi province.
What do you think, sad or funny?

i'm sorry. but judging from the pictures, it looks to me like it's overly dramatic to the point that it's funny :p or that's just me having a sick sense of humor. haha. :D

I don't know what to say, except that it looks really random.
It kind of looks like a condensed version of a drama.

ummm...what's up with her facial expressions?
she doesn't seem to be scared even though she's being taken for hostage with a knife stuck close to her throat. i've never seen her in BBF but she doesn't seem to be portraying the emotions that well in those pics...

@1 din. you're not the only one! hahaa. i think though...with the sappy music in the background...it'd be very emotional. I'm definitely not going to watch it. I thought kpop had stopped doing overly sad/dramatic music videos....but i guess i'm just out of touch.

I love her kind of looks. And I love him. If I am not mistaken he is the guy from Hong Sang Soo's wonderful Woman On The Beach. He is so attractive. But isn't he a little too old for this girl? I am fine with older ladies and young guys but older guys and very young girls is a little creepy.

OH WOW! That looks really cheesy funny. Lee Minjung getting threatened by a fruit knife from the apple man to the scene of them tied down in a burning house is outright hilarious. It's like another nonsensical scene from BOF >_<

@3: knife? what knife? I only see some pixel. I'm not scared of pixel; so she probably isn't scared of pixels either. :)

What is with the apple in the other hand of the Psycho-Kidnapper-Robber-Dude? I really thing that he was actually trying to cut his apple with a nice blade, and then Lee Min-Jung went psycho on him, and forced herself upon Psycho-Kidnapper-But-Really-A-Guy-Just-Trying-To-Eat-His-Apple. Or perhaps the "knife" is just an overly long (and gross) fingernail? I can't really tell due to the pixelation of the white object.

I think the pixels just want to peel and slice the apple. The apple is more scared than Lee Min Jung.

@11 : LOL!! yea, watch out for those pixels....
I think I'm going to watch this MV just out of curiosity now. I mean, it's only 3 or 4 minutes wasted of your life right? I do like Kim Seungwoo though (he's from Hotelier!). And Lee Minjung - every time I see this girl, I think, "Wow! She's *so* *pretty*!" But...he's a 69er and she's an 83er....14 year age dif. Maybe it just seems like sucha huge gap to me because KSW debuted forever ago, and LMJ debuted as a teenager in BOF just recently.

Here's the story.
Original couple are brother and sister, and share a playful trip to the market one day. Unbeknownst to them, Stalker Dude is the woman's real brother, so the inappropriate but completely passionate love between Fake Brother and Pretty Girl is really okay, but they don't know that.
Stalker Dude takes Pretty Girl hostage because he knows who she really is and blames her for the death of their parents in a fire when they were very small. Because of this he was raised in an orphanage and later adopted by a cruel abusive mob boss, while she was adopted by wealthy loving parents. Stalker Dude decides that he and Pretty Girl must both die by fire as well and reveals himself to be her true brother. He's brought an apple for them to share as their last meal, because it's the last food they ate together as children. Fake Brother hears the whole story, then he and Stalker Dude have a violent fight. Fake Brother is knocked unconscious and left for dead.
Pretty Girl accepts her fate and agrees that she deserves to perish with Stalker Dude in the fire, but begs him to drag Fake Brother to safety first. He agrees, but Fake Brother is (gasp!) faking the severity of his head wound and throws Stalker Dude out of the window to his death.
Fake Brother and Pretty Girl are reunited and finally free to kiss FOR REAL! Now they can be together forever!
But WAIT! Pretty Girl has been keeping her fatal illness a secret from Fake Brother and now only has days to live. As Pretty Girl confesses this last secret to Fake Brother, he collapses in her arms! The head wound was more serious than we thought! Fake Brother dies after tearfully telling Pretty Girl that he'll be waiting for her on the other side. She flashes back over the entire course of their relationship while the fire grows ever closer. She whispers "See you soon" as the building explodes.

The pictures are extremely over the top and laugh out loud funny. But what is even funnier, everyone’s comments about the ridiculous over the top pictures....Particularly langdon813 story which had me clutching my stomach and had my flatmate ask me if I was in the having a fit and if she needed to call an ambulance. No Juliet I’m fine thanks.

His hands are free now. Why is he trying to make out with her, when she is obviously not interested right now, instead of getting her loose and hauling butt?

The k-entertainment scene has done an amazing job moving past melodramas in recent years (we have our exceptions of course...) so I think it's about time music videos got the message too!

A majority of K-ballad mv are likes mini-dramas ^^;;
But... I'm I the only one who actually thought it was sad TT________TT?
A knife is a knife, and maybe she had chains on her hands with a lock and he couldnt get her out :O
...
than again, couldn't she just lift her arms out of the chair -_-"?
