Oh boy, oh boy. The aftermath, the continuation. The suspense is over, the smoke has cleared, and we are shown our boys a bit ruffed up from their fight. Luhan is nowhere to be seen, he's burdened by guilt and probably a bit confused about what happened. Luhan's connection to Kris is still unknown but he still has his photo.
A major question I have is why the girl is always with the boys. Could it be it's all of the guys' job to protect her?
Kyungsoo's okay! He has such a dorky smile in the hospital room:) It's obvious that Luhan really didn't mean to hurt him, that's why he standing outside the window.
Jeez the next scene is just too cute. Luhan reminds me of a wounded puppy. The scene also shows that the girl isn't really scared of Luhan. She follows him and takes care of him. When she's looking at the photo of Kris and Luhan I noticed that there's a second frame. I'm thinking there's some sort of significance behind it.
Another question I had was why Kai was going to Luhan's house. Hm, puzzling.
When the girl gets kidnapped, the gang leader calls Luhan. But I'm wondering who called Kai, is It the girl? oh but when Growl plays, you know it's going down. I'm happy that the boys come to
help Luhan fight. Its almost like sweet revenge on the opposing gang. I really do think Kai has some connection to Kris and Luhan.
After Luhan is attacked, the others run to his side. Did he become human? Did the girl cure him? Who knows. But then we see Kris in Luhan's room. Kris seems pretty angry. Does he feel betrayed by Luhan in some way. Or is he furious because he thinks Luhan is dead. Anyways I had a thought that maybe the girl belongs to Kris, or maybe she is his sister.
Yesssssssss! First off can I just say that I legit had to pause this video every few seconds because of the overload of Exotic Swag! These twelve boys have displayed a whole new personality. And here I was thinking Wolf was amazing, Growl definitely topped it.
The song itself says Swag, it forms a style that I haven't seen in Kpop in a long time! Its almost like a mixture of a spunky DBSK song with a dose of TLC at points. Ugh, and might I say that this song is PERFECT for D.O. and Luhan's voice. Don't get me wrong, all the guys pull the song off amazingly, but for some reason it just flows when they sing.
What really impressed me, and I mean really really, is that the whole Music Video is one continuous shot. Which, considering the dance moves and group changes, says a lot about how much they've practiced. Just think, if one person messes up they have to start all the way from the beginning. Also they seem to be wearing modified versions of their uniforms from the Drama Version.
Also Growl is most likely the reason the Continuation of the Drama MV wasn't released yet. This song will prolly make an appearance in the video, and we shall finally see what happens.
Just like every Exotic in this Fandom I squealed at the news that SM released the Drama Version of Wolf!
The beginning shows Luhan and Kris crossing paths. Kris is leaving, for whatever reason, and it's shown that they both have their MAMA symbols. I've re-watched the beginning so many times. What I interpreted was that Kris was leaving, I think we all noticed this though. But I feel that maybe Kris was a Lone Wolf, and for a reason that I can't figure out, he has to leave. Luhan looks at him in a questioning manner, and Kris places his hand on his shoulder. The question is: Is Kris entrusting or ensuring Luhan with something. The song in the background is Black Pearl, which pretty much emphasizes that Luhan has a new journey ahead of him.
In the next scene we see the girl moon gazing. I have seen many people say that it's unrealistic to see the moon in the daylight. Well I'd like to argue against that. There have been many times that the moon viewable during the day, yes it's faintly visible, but it's possible. Just wanted to point that out.
Well anyways, Luhan is being chased by bunch of masked thugs. People also say that it's unrealistic that he's doing all these flips and parkour. I feel that this helps emphasizes that Luhan is a supernatural being. Actually it looks as though he is taunting them. He saves the girl prolly just because he is a good guy. But it seems he got more than he bargained for by doing so. It looks as though he made some sort of connection with her.
Luhan is a new student at the girl's school and what do ya know, he sees her again! Luhan then befriends the boys of Exo and they play some Soccer! What a surprise, right? Luhan then shows them some moves, fighting moves. Strangely the whole time the girl tags along, and she seems pretty close to the guys. Exo makes sure she escorted to the bus safely and are in the process of leaving when they are stopped by the gang of thugs from earlier.
If there's one thing to know about SM, its that some of those guys will be debuting in years to come.
One question I have is why don't they fight right then and there? And also is it just a coincidence that D.O is always near Luhan? D.O sits behind him in class, he's part of the group hug in Soccer, Luhan shows him some fighting moves, and he joins Luhan's side when Luhan is confronted by the gang.
The guys enter an old rustic room and they oddly look eager to fight! This got me thinking:
I have watched many Asian films and in the school setting. gangs are popular. But what baffles me is that groups of guys fight each other and then the next day they act as if nothing happened. Is fighting just an activity? I dunno.
In the midst of the fight Luhan can see that Exo isn't doing too well, so Luhan Let's Out The Beast! Luhan looses control and D.O tries to settle him. Well this results in Luhan thrashing at D.O, and he goes flying into a pile of boxes and beams. Its funny how at this point the other gang has left the building. Kai's pretty ticked and Chen's far past enraged. If weren't for Chanyeol and Lay, we'd have a whole other fight going on.
Luhan is left confused and prolly a bit scared of himself. Of course to make him feel like more of a jerk, the girl shows up. "Who are you? What are you?" she asks. She runs away crying and Luhan is left to sulk. AND US EXOTICS ARE LEFT WONDERING WHAT'LL HAPPEN NEXT BECAUSE
To Be Continued...
Overall I loved the MV, then again the guys could be watching paint dry and I'd still be amused. Cant wait for the next part!
What better gift can an Exotic recive than that of waking up to Exo's Comeback just as it's uploaded!? Ive had the honor of waking up to my favorite 12 singing/dancing aliens. This video shows just how much they've matured and broadend their talents. This was definatley worth the wait.
The tree structure they made in the beginning was amazing, especially with the beastly floor scratching. All the jumping/leaping and intricate moves boost the power behind their comeback. Also the fact that all the members sing in both versions reminds us that they are one! A lot of fans say that Kai's cornrows aren't very appealing. Id have to disagree, unique hair styles come with the job when you're a k-pop idol. I think it makes him look semi native in some scenes, he can really pull it off!
Ill admit I've stumbled upon the leaked version all those months ago, and I actually liked it. But the release of the official version made me fall in love with the song. This song is equally proportioned in singing, rapping, and unique music twists. The harmonizing was lovely! I admire the fact that there isn't any seductive moves purposely put in the dance, like almost any other male dance. Their moves are almost like interpret dance.
The CG wolves rising from the human formed caves was soooo cool! And might I say Suho Gramps has turned into one sexy leader, all the members have a new found swag! Almost all the guys are wear a sleeveless shirt at some point in the video. Oh, and a few have their nails painted, which I feel adds to the concept since most wolves have dark claws, no?
Well I have nothing but support for these boys, I've been with them since the rumours of M1 and M2. I see such great potential with them and I can only hope they stay together in years to come. EXO Fighting! We are one!
