OMG! It’s been so long since I had written a review for a music video. I just have to do it this time. It’s Boyfriend and their comeback is so amazing. So I feel that I really have to do it this time. The next MV review would probably long after this. (P.S. This MV review would most probably be biased. LOL!)
Boyfriends’ Witch is from their 3rd mini album, Witch, released 13th of October 2014 (TODAAAAY!!!!).
Teasers
Let’s start with their track list for the album. This was the first to be out and tease the fans. Well, I think Donghyun mentioned that they are preparing for a comeback but this is the first thing that confirmed that.
When these were uploaded, I really wondered why each were paired with each other. I mean, you could understand if they paired YoungKwang together because they are twins, JeongSeong ’cause they even got in the news before for being JeongSeong, and DongWoo ’cause… they are the appa and eomma of the group (?). Anyway, aren’t they gorgeous?! Love love!
Red riding hood concept.
At first I thought they were vampires. It looks like that. But I saw some article or a post that says they are wolves and I believed it. It makes better sense ’cause red riding hood concept then there’s the wolves. Yeah.
Some snapshots from the teaser. The human and wolf versions of Boyfriend! 
And another teaser for White Out. I think it’s like the Obsession era where they released the Obsession and Alarm MVs. Yeah. Something like that. The feel of the White Out is also just like the Alarm. So I thought of that.
When I heard the teaser of Witch, my mind goes #boombaraboom!!! Haha! The track was repeating in my head. Lol!
.
MV Check
So I have been waiting last Sunday for the MV that my heart pounds so fast. And when it was released, I really went #boombaraboom! Haha! Watching the MV tired me ’cause my feels won’t stop. Haha!
Ok. Bias aside. If I’m not that into Boyfriend and I’m not excited for it and I’m not used to all Korean feels, I would rate it 6 or 7 out of 10. But I’m not that! So I’m rating it 9.98 out of 10. The .02 is for that red riding hood who hurts Boyfriend especially Hyunseong oppa. Grrrrr!!!!
So for those who are wondering what the story line of the MV is about, this is what I think it is.
So there is our leader Donghyun. He found this crime scene and tries to investigate it.
After some time, he thinks about it and left.
He came back to their quarters and there’s the Boyfriend with their eyes lighting up in the dark.
He came back with a newspaper with him, looking and feeling so angry/sad/in pain.
In anger, he threw the newspaper to the group for them to read.
Kwangmin picked it up and the rest of the members went close to him, curious.
It reads, “A corpes with BF mark has been discovered again, —- the red riding hood also has been found on the spot.”
He looks at his own mark. The news is a warning to them.
He crumples and throws the newspaper in anger, just like how Donghyun was angered.
The members are either angry, worried or sad because of the news.
Another member with the BF mark went on his own to think.
And that is Hyunseong (oppppppaaaa~~~~). He reads the news and became devastated.
He was about to left the rooftop and go inside their quarters but…
…the red riding hood is there!!!
He noticed the presence but…
…the red riding hood is fast to move and attacks Hyunseong.
I think members found Hyunseong and they had a flashback because of the event. They were in their quarters in human mode.
A girl appeared and entered.
It seems that Boyfriend knows this girl and welcomes her.
But the girl shushed them. She looks outside for some suspicious thing and the members became curious.
She looks outside…
…and smirks as if planning something bad.
She says hi to everyone.
Meanwhile the members are having fun with the girl, Donghyun reads a book, How to be a Human Being by Mrs. Burton Harrison.
The girl went to Donghyun to check on him but he hides the book.
Unknown to the members, the girl hides something from them. She’s the red riding hood who kills them!!!
Back to the present, I think they already found out since Hyunseong had an encounter with her already. She left him wounded and hurt.
He tries to give the message that was from the girl/red riding hood. It says, “I’ll be waiting at the rooftop. Your friend…”
Donghyun got angry to the red riding hood and crumpled the paper. (They like crumpling paper, don’t they?! :D) They left and went to the rooftop to meet the person who harmed Hyunseong.
It is fool moon outside and I think they transformed from being humans to wolf state.
Personal thought: I think HS is the most wild of them. LOL!
In the rooftop awaits the red riding hood. Boyfriend came and surrounded her.
Hyunseong started attacking (See?! He is the wildest one! lol!) but was immediately thrown even with just the cape (I don’t know how he did that turn but it is not just a turn. And I think how he fell hurts). Everyone tried to attack but just like Hyunseong, they failed and fell down.
After killing off (Kill? Maybe hurt but not dead. I don’t think they’ll die with that.) the wolves, the red riding hood puts her cape on again and left Boyfriend dead.
In short, Boyfriend had this girl they welcomed so dearly but in the end, they found that it is the one who would hurt them. And yeah. Eventually, they really got hurt.
I think it’s like how love sometimes is. Maybe that is what the MV is trying to portray. You welcome a person in your heart. And there will always be someone who would just hurt you and leave so broken.
.
Dance Check
I’m so happy they released it early. I especially like the part where all of them went down in circle as if they were sliding and immediately went up. And then Donhyun hits the high notes. Lol! And I also love the curtains! It’s like, it’s them. When someone uses curtains again, it is inevitable that someone will mention Boyfriend. LOL! It’s like mic stands for Shinee, scarves for B1A4, paws for T-ara, lips ring for APink, bars for Miss A, sofa for Sunmi, and lollipops for Girls Generation. You get the point.
.
Style Check
Boyfriend has 5 sets of clothes in this MV. So far, I’ve seen them perform with 3 of it.
The Gentlemen clothes.
The Human clothes.
The Leopard clothes.
The Shimmery clothes.
The Wolf clothes.
I like the Wolf clothes the most. They’re sooo handsome.
.
Setting Check
Boyfriend has 3 sets. One is their room/quarters. Then the rooftop.Then another room filled with leaves and tree branches.
The rooftop.
The room / quarters.
The room / quarters as their living room.
The room filled with trees and leaves. They put bed in here.
The room filled with trees and leaves.

Lyrics Check
From what I understand in the lyrics, the person knows that he’ll be hurt. But for him, it’s better to be hurt than to be apart from the person he loves. As long as he’s by the side of that person, he’s fine.
Lyrics in Hanggul
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (3x)
거짓이라고 해도 좋아 진심이 아니라면 어때
지금 넌 내 품에 있어 그게 중요해
몇 번이고 너라면 당해줄 나니까
소유할 수는 없지만 만질 순 있는걸
달콤한 입술 사이로 내 이름을 부르면
결국 또 너랄까 아파도 난 너랄까
니 손이 닿을 때 마다 숨을 멎은 채
네게 날 바칠 맹셀해
►넌 거칠어서 예뻐 넌 위험해서 끌려
매번 다칠걸 다 알면서 난 니 장난에 놀아나
못 할 것도 없어 내 전부라도 줄게
너의 곁에 그저 곁에 그거면 돼
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (3x)
Na na na na na na na na na
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (3x)
rap►말하자면 이런 거지 내가 이젠 부담된다거나
슬픈 표정으로 우리 그만 하자던가
라는 식으로 날 불안하게 만들 때 마다 이상하게 너에게 더 끌리지 난
넌 끼가 다분 yeah, 날 능숙하게 조련해, 올 듯 말듯 미치겠다구
넌 알어 난 널 못 떠나 아무리 힘껏 던져도 다시 돌아오는 부메랑처럼
멈춰보려고 다짐 해봐도 니가 날 부르면
가던 걸음을 돌려서 너에게 달려가
천사의 얼굴로 매번 나를 흔들고 있어
착한 몸매랄까 여인의 향기랄까
니 입을 맞추면 한껏 고갤 숙인 채
다시 날 바칠 맹셀해
►넌 거칠어서 예뻐 넌 위험해서 끌려
매번 다칠걸 다 알면서 난 니 장난에 놀아나
못 할 것도 없어 내 전부라도 줄게
너의 곁에 그저 곁에 그거면 돼
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (6x)
날 이용해도 좋아 갖고 놀아도 좋아
결국 망가질 줄 알면서 난 너란 애를 택한걸
전분 아녀도 돼 널 반만 가져도 돼
너의 곁에 그저 곁에 그거면 돼
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (3x)
(Boom boom bara boom)
Na na na na na na na na na

Lyrics Translated
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (3x)
It’s fine if it’s a lie, so what if you’re not being real
You’re in my arms now, that’s all that matters
To you, I’ll let myself fall countless times
I can’t have you, but I can touch
When you call my name with those sweet lips
It’s you after all, even if it hurts, I pick you
Every time your hand touches, my breath stops
And I promie to sacrifice myself to you
►You’re rough, that’s what makes you attractive
I know I’ll get hurt, but I let you play games with me
There’s nothing I can’t do, I’ll give you my all if I have to
Just by your side, next to you, that’s all I want
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (3x)
Na na na na na na na na na
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (3x)
rap►It’s kind of like, maybe you’re sick of me now
You say goodbye with a sad face
Everytime you make me nervous like that
It’s weird, I feel even more attracted to you
You have some talent yeah, you train me well
Coming or not, it drives me crazy
You know that I can’t leave you, no matter what how far you push
Like a boomerang that always returns
I promise myself I’ll stop until you say my name
I turn right around and run back to you
With a face of an angel, you shake me up each time
Your nice body, the scent of a woman
When you kiss me, I drop my head
And swear myself to you again
►You’re rough, that’s what makes you attractive
I know I’ll get hurt, but I let you play games with me
There’s nothing I can’t do, I’ll give you my all if I have to
Just by your side, next to you, that’s all I want
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (6x)
You can use me, you can play me
I knew you’ll break me, but I chose you anyway
I don’t need all of you, even just a part is enough
Just by your side, next to you, that’s all i want
Ow yeah
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (3x)
(Boom boom bara boom)
Na na na na na na na na na
Cause your body goes boom bara boom (3x)
