Sunmi's follow up to the excellent "24 hours" is a high quality music video with music written by Brave Brothers, the people responsible for the majority of SISTAR's hits.
The Video:
The ridiculously nice looking video stars vampires, Lee "legs-galore" Sunmi and Lena (idk either.) The set design and custume people deserves some praise here because everything from the coffin to a random chandelier in the background looks great. The vampires here ditch that Twilight schmuck, and bring us sexy seductress vampires who pose on couches, rooftops, snow, and everything else they can drape themselves on. They also bring in prisoners, stare at them sleeping, beg them to kiss them and some other random things, there's probably a story in there somewhere but I was too busy to notice.

The Song:
Sunmi and Brave Brothers deliver a strong showing here. While not the best thing either of them have done, it avoids the pitfalls of being terrible. The song has a coherent structure, there is no jarring tune change and Sunmi delivers a consistent tone that fits the song and the concept. The rap break down isn't too bad either. In fact, I'd even go as far as to call it decent. Lena's voice manages to complement Sunmi's and the rap verses don't hurt the flow of the song, they keep the somewhat fast pace without sounding stale or flat. (For an example of a stale, flat rap verse that hurts the flow of the song, doesn't fit the previous vocals AND ruins the pace, listen to this wasted opportunity.)
The Verdict:
Likes:
+ The Visuals.
+ The great-but-not-amazing song.
+ Bearable rap verse.
+ Sunmi.
+ Sunmi barefoot.
+ The Butt dance. 1:58
+ The leg dance. 2:10
+ The boob pat dance. 1:32
+ Dem legs tho...
+9000 JYP putting "JYP" in there even though he didn't compose the song.
Dislikes:
- Expressionless rap singer.
- Lack of catchy chorus.
- Needs more "JYP"
Conclusion:
8/10 - "This score is so so real yo"
