EXO - Growl Review

EXO has come back with their repacked album, XOXO. In the new album, there are three new songs, Lucky, XOXO, and Growl. Growl is the new title song that they are currently promoting.

Heads up, this might just be a spazz post but I'll try to be as professional as I can, most likely that won't happen OTL And I'll be reviewing the drama version, not the dance or legit MV versions.

The beginning starts out with Kris (the tall blonde one with the suitcase), and the dramatic instrumental of <Black Pearl>, doing something with Luhan (the baby looking one who is 24 years old but looks younger than both Emily and I). From this, I interpret that perhaps Kris is the one who gives Luhan his supernatural powers (of the Wolf), and he's the leader of the gang, or so.

Next scene shows Luhan flipping through the air and moving like a wolf. Truthfully speaking, these stunts are really unnecessary. When he's jumping over the air vents, there's that big space to his right that he can "crawl" quickly away from the people he's running from.... Sm, you and your logic. I'm also pretty sure when they show "Luhan" doing the stunts, it's not him but a stuntman....yeah AND WHY WOULD YOU RANDOMLY DO THESE STUNTS AND KICKS AND ALL WHEN PEOPLE ARE CHASING YOU. IT SLOWS YOU DOWN.

I'm going to fast forward to the fighting scene where EXO fights against the other gang. There, Luhan gets out of control when he sees his comrades getting hurt, and his inner beast is released. He accidentally throws D.O. to this stack of boxes, and somehow that hurts D.O. fatally.... by just a few boxes. (Shouldn't the boxes have helped his fall?) Anyhow, Luhan and everyone else is astonished at his own power, and his comrades look at him as if he's some ugly beast.

He falls down in despair and the girl that he met back a few scenes before asks him, "What the heck are you? Who are you?" /fake sad crying No offense, but her crying sounds really surreal. I mean you're an actress right? ...........

This is only Part 1, or as SM changed it, Episode one of this miraculous drama. I bet we have to wait ten thousand years for Episode 2.... Oh, I forgot to mention, but the gang that EXO was fighting consist of SM trainees, and one of them is Juno! (The person from SuJu Ballad)

Watch the drama version here :

Also, don't be tricked by SM. ALL of the scenes were filmed in a box, as always.
