aespa ‘Drama’ Transitions Put Me In Therapy

[@yuuyu666]

Drama is absolutely my favorite track from AESPA. I have seen all of the group's releases since their debut and none is compared to the magnitude of Drama, honestly. From the photoshoot to the music, choreography, music video, etc.

[@oOohio]

PERIOD it is really their best song so far (in my opinion ofc)

[@jemimahmayega6634]

I AGREEE WITH YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY

[@AUGHHHHHBBG]

Litterally cus I love all their songs but this song just hits different. Especially cus I love the rise of electric guitar in songs and this style in mv is iconic. LIKE ITS AMAZING

[@vitorrivarola3073]

My favorite title track is "Savage", but my 2nd favorite is "Drama" for sure.

[@elifoz8919]

I definitely agree

[@meiyey0826]

The transition, editing, and the dance in this mv is so SO scrumdiddlyumptious yum yum yum BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS ON SYNC making me feel every beat and the song. it's just so ARHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHHGHHGHGHGUGHGHGH 😩😩😩✨

[@waverteu]

I agree but🤣🤣🤣

[@ei1552]

EXACTLY, YOU COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER

[@bethanyhoo3307]

i agree so much with this video’s title :DDD

[@GiveEmWhiplash_Walk127]

The way you describe is the same way how I feel it

[@silkentertainment6749]

THIS PERFECTly ENCAPSULATES HOW I FELL ABT THIS MV

[@nahqiv]

I especially appreciate the part where the editor made sure that NingNing's shot turned completely red before transitioning over to Karina. It's such a small detail, but I never realized that wasn't a practical effect and it makes a huge difference. The editor really worked on every single shot.

Everything in drama is just purrfect. Song, MV, vocals, dance, performance, outfit, makeup. EVERYTHING.

[@GiveEmWhiplash_Walk127]

The way you spelled “purrfect” is purrfect

[@Hearts4SigmaBsd]

Also the “deja vu” part seems like an actual deja vu, cuz before Giselle had the scene with people walking in line after her ( 9:47 ), winter had the same shot ( 9:23 ). This is insane.

[@grandevideos8603]

it’s also deja vu because they “copied” mugler’s video (mugler copied aespa before too)

this is why i especially love it when professionals that can actually relate to artists' field make reaction videos. not only did your insights are so helpful in understanding the video. people like you are able see the picture that most us miss and appreciate the artistry of the whole thing

[@icebreaker5303]

One can just really tell how passionate you’re about ur profession based on ur explanations, like it’s so easy to pay attention to what you’re saying

[@sept4799]

Exactly

[@Lyf4rMusic]

yes, that's why I always keep waiting for his reaction/review whenever I see a crazy edited MV :)

[@orinarose8397]

Drama is a continuation of the lore of Aespa. In Better things and Spicy they were seen to be stack in a loophole and Black mamba is dead but she was created by one of the girls. Here in Drama we can see that Winter and Gigi are trying to fight Karina but she gets help from Ningning and then she messes with Winter head - the scene where Winter is holding Karina on the edge. It's super cool that they are back with strong concepts.

[@mierezekielbaquir3674]

DRAMA IS THE REASON WHY I SUDDENLY STANED AESPA

[@Bahngch4n_w2e]

Realest

[@BlankAnonymous-z8z]

Same😂

[@jennaisete]

The VFX and editing was crazy in Drama. I absolutely enjoyed every part of it, and watching Jordan explain every transition makes it even better haha

[@BABYMONSTER_RORA_RAMI_AHYEON]

I Iove aespa's music. It’s unique. It’s futuristic. Their storyline/lore is intriguing. Their discography is diverse. I love their concept. I love their sound. Their vocals are amazing. Their rapping is dope. Their dancing is top-tier. They have great visuals. Their choreographies are awesome. Their MVs are phenomenal.

[@ro5172]

Tbh K-pop mv edits are always impressive especially SM even the 2nd gen mvs were ahead of their time, not to mention how much you get addicted to the mv rather than the actual song

[@cocolemon8942]

That is why people dont get aespa songs for the first listen because they were immersed in the MV

[@user-ib1is7ny7r]

drama is a slay though, but the mv made it unforgettable to me

[@jnny.chandesu]

In my opinion this is one of the greatest comeback i've ever seen.

[@aeri_taylors-version]

drama got everything. the vocal, the choreo, the mv, everything is just so dramatic

[@kaisooxing2350]

I need everyone to watch this video to fully understand just how amazing the mv was. I had expectations when I saw the teasers they dropped, but the mv was on a whole other level…

[@toporcliff]

Drama was a literal fire

[@J-D658]

Yes! Got me back to kpop and its so cover material

[@danielkim6180]

15:25 the way Winter finished singing and turn her back is so wonderful

[@Leeknuar]

Y’all I’m going to be completely honest, I became an AESPA Stan because of DRAMA! The song is amazing & the MV wow 🤩!

[@gibinas8466]

THE SM QUALITY IS INSANE. What I love with SM projects is not only their artists are extremely talented, but also, their music production and mv production is insane ❤ Kuddos to the experts working behind the scene.

[@cocolemon8942]

Indeed! SM people are artistically inclined but they are so underrated. SM has the best MV of all! Their MVs have lots of details that makes the scenes metaphor to the lyrics of the song.

[@AUGHHHHHBBG]

I love how this music video also keep up with aespa lore as well cus them fighting with their AEs are such a interesting concept

[@kimnavarro1995]

SM literally is not playing since aespa are talented so they need to step up every time to make sure not to disappoint

[@alvinibhamjamil8106]

Aespa really do the visual better than any group in the world, they know how to make everything right, their concept always fresh

[@bintangrahmadaniarti2757]

SM is one of the agencies that often makes very unique MVs. And AESPA is one of the Gen 4 girl groups which is very unique in terms of visuals, concept and sound.

[@zzzonline]

I would proudly say this is their best mv yet ever!!

[@ayyuna7067]

Drama the whole choreography and vocals I love all the bits and scenes all so catchy ❤

[@solanas_vakarian]

I am a theatrologist and a dancer and this must be my favorite music production. The cinematography and choreo and everything is stunning!!! The red circle the girls are upon and the half-naked dance around them is inspired by Bolero. Is a music and dance piece choreographed exactly like that!!! Furthermore, I think we all understood the vision of Kill Bill, Tarantino, non-linear format and a little film noir!!!

[@useyourbrainsoon]

Apreciated to aespa they had great concept for MV the production was verry genius, and much effort of it, i love them

[@Sjekskek]

i can say that drama is aespas best mv.

[@jon0807]

This is probably one of my most favorite video/choreo/song this year! Thanks for breaking it down. The performance video is also 🔥 I also got my butter bucket hat. I really appreciate the signature and message. Thank you and Merry Christmas Jordan!

[@BABYMONSTER_RAMI_RORA_AHYEON]

I like every part of this MV.

[@gladys2818]

This Drama music video editing is really crazier than before. I was shocked while watching. Chef kiss to the editors

[@mOonLight12whiSpeRs]

I think what really stuck with me from the music video that I just couldn't put into words until I saw this video is the way the lighting makes the scenes feel connected and like the girls during their solo shots are inhabiting the same scene - e.g the flashlights + the lights of the car, Ningning's red filter + Karina and Winter's red backgrounds or the last moments of the group shot + the car being on fire, the lighting matches EXACTLY what it would look like if the fire was in front of them. It's just insanely well thought out

[@user-wb3vv]

i’m not even a fan of aespa but this song and the music video is just so ICONIC

[@darasokunmerdey7767]

You should try reacting to their individual drama teasers they be acting ACTING 🔥🔥🔥 love ur reaction Anw ❤️

Especially Winter’s!! That gave me goosebumps!!!

[@yoonbum5744]

for me, Better things is the best song they've put out so far. Drama is Aespa's trademark

[@khaistakakar]

I love watching these sorts of videos bc it makes me realise and appreciate all the effort that goes into editing kpop music videos that I hadn’t realised when I first watched each mv :D

[@gx1237]

[@JiAn-tq6sx]

Whenever I watch Aespa's music videos, I feel like I'm watching a whole movie.. I really love the story telling in their MV's and the visuals... Also, following all the episodes of SMCU, their concept is so interesting, maybe one of the reason I love their storyline, everything is interrelated... I have so much to say, but summing it all up, I love them, yeahhh... Proud to be a fan of AESPA!

[@palashchakraborty2003]

The Drama MV Feels Like A Movie.They Went Insane With This Track

[@Gumiho-Oppa.6]

It's so smooth. So good. Aespa never dissapointed.

[@Angie-vs3yk]

The sword fighting scene with karina and the others gives me so much deja vu from the katana fight scene from Kill Bill Vol.1 when the main character was defeating the crazy 88s.

[@Aesterstarzz]

The story of drama is that aespa is fighting their trauma of what happened when they fought the black mamba by causing drama as they say in the chorus "I bring all the drama" and "I break trauma"

[@SassybunnieYW]

I wasn’t a fan of this song first listen, but I swear every aespa song always always grew on me. Like now obsessed with this, it’s I think so far, the coolest aespa’s songs out there ❤

[@teongbinjari]

People like Jordan is what makes editors get even more creative because he dissects each scene, each frame. Also referring to what God of Music's editors have said.

[@kelaex]

Because I hadn't seen this mentioned before, I thought I'd leave it here. The scenes with the red circular stage and the men around them are most likely a reference to a ballet performance to the piece »Bolero« by Ravel. If you just look up »Sylvie Guillem Bolero« it should come up. Just in case someone is interested :) I think even some of the dance moves (the ones where the hands point towards the center) are referenced.
