Appearance —9/10—
omg omg omg, everyone's so cute in boyfriend.
when i saw youngmin, i just about died. he's so cute.
but yeah, i agree with lily. the suits don't look too good.
i think it's because the whole mood is all christmas-y with the stylish outfits and such,
and then you see them in tuxedos and it kinda throws the style off.
but nevertheless, everyone looks really good in the mv.
i love minwoo's hair in this, it makes him look older, haha.
i don't like kwangmin's hair all that much, even though he's one of my biases.
hyunseung is... very attractive to me. i wasn't that attracted to him during the
boyfriend/you & i days, but he's getting to me. e____o
and of course, jeongmin looks so hot cute with that adorable hat.
and youngmin... like i said, i can't. /twitcheu
he looks so good.
i think i'm the only one who thinks that this music video is where he looks his best.
- Choreography —10/1o—
i really like this dance.
it has little aspects which make the dance look good.
and the hand thing during the chorus or pre-chorus with the clock motions, is really cute.
the thing about boyfriend, is that they're not synchronized as a group like infinite, teen top, etc.,
but they have different moves that look really good and synchronized once they're all put together...
i don't know how to explain this... gah.
i think boyfriend is one of the best dance groups out there.
also, i think minwoo dances really well too, his moves are sharp and stuff.
that part in the song where there's no singing, and they pull their arms into their crotch or whatever,
it's really awkward to me, LOL. i can't stop laughing whenever that part comes on.
also, that knee rub thing that they do on the floor is creepy... but for some reason, i like it. e____o
- Lyrics —8/10—
i like the lyrics, but it doesn't really tie in with the music video and their mood.
it's kinda sad though. ;_____;
- Music Video —11/15—
honestly, if i wasn't so biased with boyfriend and liked them so much,
i wouldn't have finished watching the music video after like a minute.
i'm not into christmas stuff that much (LOL, HATER UP IN HEEEA)
and so i was kinda getting bored with it.
plus, that black and white room was really dark and had weird lighting,
it was just... weird.
but i really like the christmas-y house and the scene in the background,
i thought it was pretty.
kudos to them for the fake snow! ;D
to lily's comment: LOLOLOLOLOL, SO TRUE. but he's legal. ^_____^ i hope
- Part Division —6/10—
meh, i don't like how boyfriend divides their parts up.
i feel like youngmin should get more lines, even though he's the visual.
i like his voice, it's... different.
donghyun gets a lot of lines, which could possibly go to maybe hyungseung?
lol, i really like hyunseung's voice but i feel as though he doesn't get that
many lines for being the main vocal.
and omg, did you hear how short minwoo's rap was?
it was seriously six seconds long. yes i counted
this will not do, me is disappoint. /shakes head
it's almost as bad as infinite's...
- Performance —8/10—
eh, the mr removed was okay. it wasn't their best though.
but i think their performance was really good.
maybe it's because they just came back from promoting
don't touch my girl for like two or three months or something,
but they look like they're not trying as much as they did
with like boyfriend, you & i, etc.
- Popularity —9/10—
boyfriend has been getting really popular,
they even won the rookie award for mtv and something else, i forgot.
but i think it's because they caught everyone's attention with the
disgustingly cute concept for their debut, and now everyone knows them.
which is a good thing i guess, because they have a lot of fans. :)
-
Singing —8/10—
i agree with lily, there's not really a power house in boyfriend,
but i think hyunseung and donghyun can sing really well.
and jeongmin also, but after hyungseung + donghyun.
the thing with boyfriend is that they don't have like, amazing vocals,
but they have unique voices. ex.: hyunseung, donghyun, jeongmin, and youngmin.
i don't think kwangmin and minwoo really do though, lol.
if you watch boyfriend's cover of love like oxygen by shinee, it's so cute and good!
i think they have room for improvement, but i definitely think they're strong singers.
- Song —13/15—
okay, i really like this song, especially that beginning.
like, i'm not even joking, the beginning's my favorite part. weird, right?
boyfriend always seems to use "요" in their songs, i guess to show respect or something,
but i find it adorable. but it's quite creepy when donghyun says it, because he's like 21, LOL.
although boyfriend's songs aren't like, awesomely great;
i find them strangely addictive. like snsd's and super junior's
- Bonus Points —3/5—
one for me thinking they were stupid when they first debuted, but becoming one of my favorite groups.
one for my new 2nd bias because of this mv, youngmin.
and one because of the weird cycle of biases i've had in this group.
first i liked donghyun (with that red hair unf), then i liked jeongmin (ahh, curly hair! ♡), then kwangmin,
then back to jeongmin, and now it's jeongmin, youngmin, and kwangmin. e_____o
better watch out hyunseung and minwoo, you're next mwahahaha
-
Bias(es): jeongmin, youngmin, and kwangmin. i can't choose garrrr
but minwoo is getting to me. /twitcheu

Appearance —9/10—
so i really like the scarves they wore.
they were so nice. has a thing for infinity scarves, don't even know why.
but yeah, they looked good, as usual. ^___^
don't even know what else to comment on, i'm so out of it.
i usually like guys who wear suits, but i don't know...
this didn't really suit them.
other than that, they alllll looked good.
- Choreography —9/1o—
the choreo was pretty good, and they're all pretty in sync.
i like the little starting dance sequence.
i've realised, in all of the boyfriend songs, they tend to use their hands... a lot.
lol, a lot of the dance moves involve a lot of arm movement, lol.
- Lyrics —8/10—
the lyrics are pretty sad... cliche though.
but yeah, the lyrics are nice but i don't see it fitting with the song.
it's pretty different... yeah.
- Music Video —11/15—
to be honest, i didn't feel the need to listen or watch this video until jenny chose this for the review. OTL
i wasn't exctly interesting in all this christmas business, so yeah....
but the music video was okay i guess.
it's pretty much the same, them dancing in a room,
and little skits of them doing stuff. and is that youngmin driving?
is he legal? OTL. LOLOLOL.
and yeah, the set was nice though, nice and christmas-y.
it didn't really look like a real place though, it seemed like it was made.. so yeah.
i didn't really like the room they were dancing in either, it was oddly lit.
but yeah, mv was okay, i guess.
- Part Division —7/10—
i think the part division was pretty okay in this song, but i didn't see kwangmin get many lines.
neither did hyunseong, and he has a really nice voice!
nor did they give jeongmin much screentime..
- Performance —9/10—
the performance was gooooooooood!
they looked like they tried, and all but they were out-of-sync at a lot of the parts.
i may be delusional from watching too many infinite performances, but they just didn't seem as insync as the could be.
but other than that, the singing was good!
the mr removed was okay... not their best.
- Popularity —8/10—
so boyfriend has beeeeen reaallllllyyyyyy popular lately, along with b1a4,
WAAEE NOT BLOCK B, MY BABIES?! anyways. yeah.
the mv has almost a mill views, a little over half, i honestly thought they'd get more by now.
but yeah. in their lives, there are pretty loud fanchants, though.
-
Singing —7.5/10—
i honestly don't see a power vocal in boyfriend.
jeongmin/hyunseong/donghyun all have equal power, and it isn't that great either.
in most rookie groups i see, there's a power house, like;
eunji of apink, taeil of block b, sandeul of b1a4, and so on.
but boyfriend... all seem level. you know?
i'm not saying their skill is ty, but yeah. i think they have the equivalent vocal range as like jaehyo. slkdfjsaf
okay, i should stap with block b references.
- Song —10/15—
....don't kill me bestfriends, but i don't really like this song...
it didn't grab my attention like "don't touch my girlfriend" did.
it's okay, but maybe it'll grow on me after a few listens.
if i decide to listen to it that is... /cough
- Bonus Points —2/5—
uh, one for jeongmin wearing that adorbs hat.
and another for.. such nice fashion.
-
Bias(es): i'm not sure if it was obvious, but jeongmin.
omg i sound like the biggest boyfriend hater, but trust me, i like them!
it's just that... i wasn't as impressed as i was with "don't touch my girl"
also, it's still onkeysangtae here, i just changed my user, you know?
cos zico's underground stage name was "nacseo" but i wanted to put
an "x" and the end, but it looked weird so changed the "o" to a "u"
and then it looks like a french word, which would be pronounced as
"nak-so" which is close enough, so yeah.
no one cares, but yeah.
yeah. yeah, yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~
78.5/100 || 78.5 + 2 = 80.5 % ☺
Eye-candy of the Week ☺
omg isn't she the cutest?! ♥
i don't even know if this is considered "eye-candy" but idgaf, she's adorable.
