[MV Review] BLACKPINK - "Playing With Fire"



The second song to be released from their new set, and their best song overall. One of the best of the year to be honest.


Remember the theory that if Teddy and Han Ye Seul broke up then YG songs would get better? Well a few days before this was released they announced to have officially broken up, so either this had been going on for some time or Teddy wrote and produced this song overnight because this song is really fucking good.


Again, I love everything about Lisa's presence in the MV.



This is the upbeat electro-pop song 2NE1 should have released a long time ago. What makes "Playing With Fire" work is that it's not sloppy and trying to be something so hard that it adds in extra bells and whistles which in the end wind up making and worse song, not a better one. The song has one pleasant melody, good usage or rapping and instruments, a really nice pace (not to fast, not to slow) and makes use of a good beat without over-trapping it. The song stands out among other releases, not just with YG but also with releases over the entire year, and this coming from someone who hasn't been disappointed with 2016 releases in a general sense.


Jennie's ridiculously pretty.

Side note - people have been comparing Lisa's rapping to Hyuna's. I honestly don't hear it, if anything she sounds like AOAs Jimin (especially during the "burn baby burn" parts.)

While "Stay" was much more of the softer tumblr aesthetic type of video, "Playing With Fire" dives deeper into a classic ultra HD YG video, which works with this kind of song. It's the kind of imagery you'd expect, lots of fire and lots of water and lots of good shots of the member. Again the girls beauty is no joke here, they all look great. I especially like the fashion choices, and enjoyed the contrast between the sequined glamour outfits they wore in the dance shots in comparison to their more casual wear in the individual portions. 


Rose is one of the few idols that can pull that hair color off.


Overall this was great release and I hope Blackpink continues to get handed quality songs like this in the future.


Best styling on Jisoo yet!

post response: [+33][-1] original post: here 1. [+21, -1] Our captain ❤ 2. [+16, -1] Jun Soyeon is freaking pretty 3. [+13, -1] No but our God-Sso-captain-nim is no joke...ㅠㅠ captain-nim, I love you 4. [+5, -1] Ha, but we're not certain yet if they will go for the Japanese style or not. I know that they released a Hanbok teaser but even so, it's not confirmed. But seriously, if they went for a Japanese or Chinese style, I will kinda feel meh 5. [+5, 0] The coordi's role this time will be so important. The 'Asian feel' can be a bit ambiguous so if they do something wrong, they could get a lot of hate from China too... And if they go for a Japanese style, they will get hate too ㅠ coordi, please do well. If the coordi makes a mistakes, Idle will receive the hate 6. [+5, 0] The clothes look like the ones from Hann and the kids said that they wanted to do it the Korean style, so I'm not worried

[+2,010, -212] Both him and Han Hyo Joo are so unlikable ㅋㅋㅋ the female lead buried her dongsaeng's controversy while the male lead has attitude issues. 2016 MBC's popularity daesang is an utter fail. 2.

[+141, -8] It's hilarious to me that his fans are shielding him saying he has a phobia of getting attention ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ if he has such a phobia, how was he a runway model or an MC on music shows? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Does the phobia go away when he gets paid???? I don't get it ㅋㅋㅋ 5. [+120, -9] Not even the most basic amount of respect was given.
