Korean version:

Plot: Mega No

....bizarre absolutly bizarre at every level the styling is atrocious the direction is weird the shtick is both overly used and used to no effect i have no idea what the creative vision of this was supposed to be. Obviously i hate the hair its gross badly done. At first i thought the styling and found bad quality footage element was supposed to make this a nostolgic thing but the constant blank faces and uttlerly expressionless line deliveries convinced me that this was going to turn into a horror thing. Its very unsettling for no real reason. THeres no plot but i feel like its TRYING to have one, if that makes sense. Theres a lot of unconventional things happening here so the director WANTS something he just also never actually makes anything HAPPEN. Theres alos no conception between the song and the styling which makes this even stranger because limitlessness is the groups core concept and this is just....verging on found footage horror its very confusing 0/10.

Plot check: MEGA FAIL

Japanese version:

Plot: still no

Better, sooooo much better. THe orange outfits actually stnad out and are era specific which is rare for NCT. ALso hiiiiii taeyong vocal fry. The MV is funny because i think this is the start of the NCT formula ie. streetclothes styling aesthetic based mv with no plot that implies some sort of urban/vaugly si-fi conflict that never actually happens on screen, parking lot dance shots, lots of running from camera and use of angles in group shots.  The song is 10/10 the MV was nice when it was released the shot of mark getting overtaken by the gas cloud is 10/10 but it feels like there no real concept holding things together. ITs just a bunch of cool shots one after another that have no real point.
