Infinite's Man in Love Review

Disclaimer:  I don't own Infinite, ok?  Why are you rubbing it in??  I don't own their songs or their music or anything having to do with the music video I'm reviewing.  No suing me please!


Meh. I'm not in love with the song.  Cutsie, "I'm so in love," its a beautiful world songs don't tend to do much for me.  They tend to have less of a beat.  And this may be a bit of a tangent, but cutsie aegyo boy music videos and most girls' videos are more about 'look at me' than 'listen to me.'  I listen to music because it makes me happy.  I watch their music videos to listen to the music, not to watch hot people flaunting themselves in front of the camera in a bid to have looks outshine the voices.  Ok, rant over, back to Infinite!

I've been a fan since Before the Dawn, even though it was a creepy stalker song.  This song is much less creepy.  It says things that are totally relate-able.  They're saying that they care more about how they look and are giggling all the time because they're in love.  It's saying that he wants to do stuff for her and sees her everywhere.  Cute stuff.

Because this is a aegyo video, I was thrilled that it had a coherent dance!  I have no complaints about it.  However, the costumes are... not so good.  I actually thought they detracted a bit.  It's hard to pay attention to what they're doing when those horrible vertically striped pants are blocking everything else out.

Just right of the center.

And the checkered shirt!  Wow, why?  Just why??

Those are the worst two items of clothing, in my opinion.  But, honestly, I wouldn't want my boyfriend to wear any of their clothes.  And that's just the black and whites!  Shall we touch on the colorful, tear-inducingly  bright ones? Yes!  Let's.  

Ok, this one's not so bad, but who wears their sweaters like that anymore?  Ever since Hollywood started dressing their snobby rich guys like this, it has become unfashionable for men to drape their sweaters around their shoulders.  


Pink pants!  I've only seen boys in kpop videos wear pink pants.  I wish they'd notice that the fashion is not catching on.  And that there's a reason that it hasn't caught on.  It's not attractive.  I could go on, of course, but I like Infinite, and I respect that they may not have complete control over their costumes, so we're going to move on.

Ok, my main peeve about this video is the kitten.


Don't get me wrong.  It's adorable.  But I would be so angry is someone got me a kitten.  A pet is a huge responsibility!  If I wanted a cat, I'd get one for myself!  What if I don't have a cat because I'm allergic?  What if I don't have the money to buy the cat litter and the food, or my place is so tiny that it would be cruel to keep a pet in it? What if he hadn't liked cats? What if he were more of a dog person?  Or maybe he already had a cat or a dog?  A new pet could stress your existing pet or get eaten by the dog.  Of all the things that a person can give as a present to someone they like, an animal is one of the worst, in my humble opinion.  I'm really hoping that people don't see this video and decide that its a good idea.  There might be a sudden influx of baby animals to shelters and pounds.  Don't do it!!

Ok, so...all together, this video gets a 4 out of 10.  Eh music, cute words, cute guys, bad clothes, good dance, eh plot.
