나만 몰랐던 이야기/ IU
This is what i got myself into these days, IU's "The Story Only I Didn't Know" MV, released on 16 Feb.
Not mentioning IU's wonderful vocal skills, she's always been regarded as a talented young girl, but Park Bo Young's acting is another (main, i would say) highlight in this MV. She acts as an patient who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital and always having the illusion that her ex-lover might come to find her. I've always liked PBY's movies (she looks a bit like Helen tho), and i burst into tears every time i watch this MV, i bet people will get caught in this depressing mood either, you just can't help when seeing Park Bo Young cries in that way.
Many netizens think that PBY was hospitalized due to her grief over her father's death, as someone in the MV asked “Your father passed away, right?” and PBY replies, “They all say that he’s my father, but he’s not.” However, I'm more convinced by the saying that PBY was in love with a man who is old enough to be her father, this is why people misinterpreted him as her father, in which the storyline is very much portraying to the French film "Leon" (i read abt this explanation of the story from allkpop). Besides, Loen Entertainment have stated, “The music video is merely an expression of the love between a wider age gap. Claiming it to be incestuous makes absolutely no sense.” , and I wonder how could people came up with the idea of incest from this MV -_-.
All in all i think this is a very well-done piece of work, with all the music, acting and theme setting, it really tells a sad love story. I think Im gonna try video-making in the coming holiday, maybe the piano version of this song could make a use.
