i truly appreciate this reaction so much. i discovered you through your loona reactions all those years ago, and since then you instantly became my favourite kpop reactor. i knew this song wasn’t going to be for you, and quite honestly it’s not for me either- but you said it perfectly yourself. chuu is a wonderful person and she spreads so much joy and positivity, so even if you don’t vibe with her music it’s amazing to see that you acknowledge and appreciate just how amazing she is as herself. i wish you a good rest of your week 🫶
i find the 80s trend overdone too but i enjoyed the song, the instrumental is quirky enough and chuu sounds INCREDIBLE (as usual), the album however???????? ATE
I loved the song from the moment it hit its stride, maybe for the same reasons you didn't enjoy it lol. It's sweet, it's saccharine and it's fun, which I haven't had much of in kpop. Not while being this catchy at least. I'd it this up there with Fromis_9's love bomb and Catallena as pure distilled kpop that I'd show someone if they asked me what kpop was. Not really more than the sum of it's parts but wow are those parts bright and enjoyable. Y'know?
This is not my vibe either. This sound got really old quick--buuut that being said, I love Chuu, and this video!! The song is catchy and very feel good. Will I add it to my playlist? No, but I'd definitely bop to it if I heard it at a party or something
thanks for the reaction fifi! I think you might really like the album's b-sides, they're good and honestly I think they're much better than the title, I like to highlight Lucid Dream in particular, my favorite!
It is nice that you are able to appreciate her regardless of personal taste! You are right she is such a joy to watch ❤ I personally enjoy this sound and concept A LOT and I think it is perfect for her, but personal taste aside I also think one thing that makes this song special and unique is how chuu sings it! She does not use an overly cute voice usually associated with this kind of songs but her amazing richer voice and I am HERE FOR IT
I also wasn’t the biggest fan of Howl (mostly because it was cut so short?? Like they just chopped off the whole last third of the song and called it a day) and this kind of musical style also isn’t super my thing usually, but the production was really fun and had SUCH a good topline that it won me over. One of my favorites from her for sure
the part about still being happy watching chuu even when clinically depressed is SO TRUE like some days she was the only reason I smiled and for that imma always stick beside her and tune in to what she puts out also lovely reaction as always I love your honesty and energy keep it up queen 🫶
the intro sounds were so good, same with her debut, i wish she explored a title track that was a bit more "experimental" and not just 80's synth pop. she's such a cutie and she can sing so she could def pull it off.
Was versatility the word you were looking for instead of variety haha? The album is quite different to her debut ? Lots of more laid-back relaxed music. Wonder if there was a track you ended up liking?
I was not expecting to like this song but it's so catchy. I'm expecting a slower more mature sound (Velvet side from RV, if I'm comparing with something) with her voice and sound. It'll be SO GOOD...
