REACTION to DREAMCATCHER (드림캐쳐) - BECAUSE MV

[@ty-rw3hk]

my theory so far is just: jiu is a owner or at least worker of some creepy hotel/carnival. she tricks or captures customers and makes them into dolls in which she can control. in this mv, all of the members were previously captured by jiu besides gahyeon who is now being captured by jiu. early in the MV she was much more expressive compared to the other members who acted much more doll/puppet-like. the running scene was also only showed for gahyeon and jiu, so it could be gahyeon trying to run away but then jiu eventually catches her then at the end she joins them and lacks emotional expressions and starts to look like the others as dolls. Shes also in the throne and being caressed by jiu as if jiu now owned and controlled her. i also think siyeon was the last capture before gahyeon. her individual scene is on the throne as if she was put there before being replaced by gahyeon, implying she was the last new one. also, at the end, we see her in front walking to the side to reveal gahyeon. it makes it appear as if she was walking away from the throne and joining the lines of the other members. def still some things idk like why is there two dongies and one is being dragged. also what’s up with sua and that mirror and the apple. and the cloaked mannequins/people? return of creepy dreamcatcher with a damn budget is amazing though. and i’ll always take a gahyeon focus edit: also a random theory that i just came up with cause i rewatched the MV and saw the opening scene. i think gahyeon could maybe be faking it. she figured out the secret, tried to run, but got captured so she decided to try to fake being controlled before jiu actually fully gained control over her. in this case, the opening scene where she takes off the cage would be showing her after the rest of the MV, having tricked jiu and escaping jius control (cage) and potentially escaping entirely. the main reason i see this is just because when she takes of the cage she is on the throne. the only time where it makes sense for her to be on the throne is after jiu seemingly captured her, so it must be occurring after the fact. or who knows, maybe it actually did happen at the start of the MV. maybe gahyeon DID trick jiu and faked it and then the MV is actually gahyeon trying to make her escape. during the opening scene in the hotel lobby jiu is walking past and gahyeon is acting like the other doll members but simply making more expressions. could show how she’s trying to trick jiu until she can escape. but then, jiu finds out, chases her (the running scene) and ultimately actually captured gahyeon and finally makes her her doll. this would also kinda make sense with the choreo. the opening scene has jiu and gahyeon look at each other but gahyeon is the one choking jiu, seemingly being the one in control. this would make sense as early in the story she’s the one tricking jiu before actually being captured by the end. idk just another theory

[@antoinette...]

Nice theory! I saw dreamcatcher talk about this MV having some doppelganger scenes, so that might explain Donige's scene with the curtain.

[@MK_NAYAK]

That's amazing

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

I like this analysis. It makes a lot of sense, honestly.

[@ELmayberry]

ooh... love your theory esp the edited portion. yeah, I think Gahyeon was faking it, then she got found out so she tried to run but got caught in the end. also at first I was thinking that Jiu was in control of the members bc of the intro that they did before their performance on that music show but then the mv showed that Sua is the first one to be converted after she bit the apple given to her by that doppelganger so I was thinking it was her but now that I read your theory, I'm starting to change my mind again 😂😂

[@toyamits6108]

Basically that was inspire from the movie "US"

[@gghost9421]

I'm starting to think sua's ocean view part is your favourite 🤔😂🖤

[@acmaster5431]

It really is the killing point of this phenomenal comeback!!!!

[@gghost9421]

Omg the cricket noises had me dead 😂 I love this mv the one thing that creeped me out was dongie being dragged under the curtain whilst watching herself being dragged under the curtain I dunno there was just something about a pair of legs being dragged under a curtain that is massively creepy 😳😅

[@ELmayberry]

so many times you used the words: dragged under the curtin 😂😂

[@calvinmitchell1274]

Jiu: Panic in the city Sua: Ocean view Now, we need English catch phrases for the other members as well. :)

[@DragonX5536]

Dami: Hold up, I'm the geek the big paradox Handong: So now, I'm holding this pain

[@ELmayberry]

Gahyeon: Murky galaxy

[@doublehelix-07]

Dami: Every dog has it's day

[@AndrewHahaLee]

They brought back rapper Sua. And they also incorporated Dami/Siyeon harmonies at the end. Reminiscent of their Shadow MV. Everything's just coming together perfectly to create a masterpiece. Just a tease: Rapper sua doesn't just appear in the title track in this comeback ;)

[@drewwie0304]

Sua had some rap parts in Good Night

[@danielledaniel1900]

Dami and Siyeon together is powerful

[@Brickerbrack]

@@drewwie0304 Yeah, that was kinda his point. Good Night was nearly _four years ago._ She _used_ to be Lead Rapper back in Minx/early DC days, but around Piri, she kinda stepped back from rapping to let Gahyeon level up, and so she could focus more on her vocals. But with this and Switch to Me, maybe she's got the rapping bug back... 😉

[@grey28282]

To be Dreamcatcher is Special, To be InSomnia is Lucky.

[@sheoncewas]

I've been lurking around ur channel waiting the video to drop😂😂😂😂😂

[@tehlaser]

Handong, last comeback: deukae is mine Jiu, now: oh really?

[@meika_lee]

my theory is JiU is a 'doll maker' / owner of the hotel and has made all the others dolls but Gahyeon is no longer under her control/realizes she's being controlled. She then tries to kill JiU while still pretending to be her doll. Gahyeon seems greedy for JiU's role as controller as well. I'm not entirely sure why SuA was trapped inside the mirror though. It could be that she was locked in there by JiU, or perhaps it symbolises that she saw through JiU's control as well but wasn't able to free herself from being a doll. Read the lyrics and got another theory. Maybe Siyeon is actually controlling JiU. She sings 'It's fine to reject me since another voice of mine calls you instead' and at that part of the choreo everyone else moves hypnotized as siyeon walks freely amongst them, showing that she isn't being controlled. Siyeon might be the main mastermind hiding behind JiU or perhaps, JiU is saving the girls from Siyeon by controlling them.

[@doublehelix-07]

what about their doppelgāngers?

[@ash2840]

The mirror scene can mean that doppelgänger SuA is taking over the real SuA cuz i recognized her jaw almost biting into the apple. I mean the MV was also kinda inspired of the movie “Us”

[@tigernoki]

here be. cause i like your reactions ^_^. couldn't wait for this especially when you mentioned it was 37 minutes haha. 悲 = BE = sadness, so "sadness *pause* cause I like you". and the chinese character (which is a combination of characters for 非 "no" and 心 "heart"） is reflected in the dance gestures. There is SO much in this video. from the fur elise gahyeon notes to the throne that looks like a combo of deja vu + sua's chains in roseblue. i could watch this over and over. like you always say. they know us SO well. we love our crumbs.

[@cr0wdedteeth]

Someone pointed out the throne is actually an old electric chair! super creepy

[@AxleinaMaxwell]

May I just add that I am glad they decided on this route/title track for 'summer' release? Like you said, it could be fun to see a more generic summer release but i still can't imagine that on DC. 😅 Their Bside however is *chef kiss*especially Whisper. We need a listening party.

[@internetjesus]

They chose violence. Literally since the song is very Yandere. I’m gonna need to recover from this MV. This song is glorious and a throwback to earlier, rockier eras.

[@quietdistance8594]

I love the imagery of the connected purple veils it feels both intimate and intrusive at the same time. Also Yoohyeon's crossed dagger dress is amazing. Also also isn't Yoohyeon pushing a cart in the opening hotel scene that has dresses worn by the members later in the mv? To paraphrase a favorite quote this whole video feels 'like an itch you can't reach finally being scratched by nail that is slightly too sharp'.

[@yueliadragonflavour731]

Yes! On the cart Yoohyeon pushes at the beginning we can see hanging Gahyon's white little dress, Yoohyeon's pink dress and Handong's top and long skirt!

[@insomniadc7]

You fixed it 😂

[@mcqueen5588]

With you, every reaction is a whole ass journey through the mvs. You're all about details and you're so showered about their story and bg, you're aware of their world so watching you is like having a comfortable convo with an InSomnia 🥰💕💕💕 Please, keep doing reactions, you're so amazing and dedicated and eloquent about everything you say.

i hear this song inspired by movie "Us". also "BE" in choreography take from chinese character bēi (悲) means "sad" and they want say "Sad, 'cause i like you".

[@fae91]

Kaia you've outdone yourself! You turned 3 minute video into a 37 minute reaction! That's about 12 minutes for each 1 minute XD

[@Aleera1989]

I don't think I can say anything useful right now because my mind and my heart are melting with excitement, love and admiration. I couldn't point who is the "villain" here: JiU, Gahyeon and SuA. Anyway, they look AMAZING and the aesthetic is fabulous. That part of the bridge when Siyeon turn her head up in a very seductive way... Wow... I... Wow... I lost my breath

[@eldoritos818]

Someone recorded me watching this mv, this is what they got: - "wooow colours" "👁️👄👁️" "ocean view yees" "woah jiu" "😵‍💫" "Dami nicel" "🥴" "siyeon wtf" "ocean view again that's what I'm living for" "..." "vocals hell yeah" "I am scared D:" "Gahyeon n jiu omg"

[@eldoritos818]

[@leonardmccain668]

The digital mouth manipulations are so subtle and so creepy. The smile/frown switch for Gahyeon in the early hotel lobby shot is fantastic.

[@adityadendy7918]

I waiting for your reaction... Lets go first win!!!!!!

[@cr0wdedteeth]

perhaps partially why this mv feels so high quality because so much of it was shot on location? the carnival is super sick! ik with a lot of the scream era bc the settings were so fantasy/scifi i believe a lot or all of it was on sets.

[@otterwithadarkside4422]

37 minutes? Dang Kaia you must really love this song!!!

I'm blown away by both the song and MV. These girls keep giving us such amazing music! I really appreciate the quality of the MV as well, it's so creepy but also gorgeous. I'm dying for you to release you album listen video, I can't wait to hear your thoughts! Dreamcatcher did again though, and once again they prove why they are one of my ult groups, I love them so much!

[@roza2633]

i have seen "us" (in the cinema when it came out AND i rewatched it just a few days ago) and i'm still unsure what the story here is fdhsjkds i keep going back and forth with my theories. which... to be fair that's the fun part so i very much love that and all the references you can see in the mv, the choreo and teaser pics

[@AI-MusicPlanet]

[@MrKekekaka]

Because is summer love gone wrong in the creepiest and kinkiest way, Airplane is very likely the product of DCC the members and Leez and Ollunder asking just what if Minx was still active today, Whistle feels like if Dreamcather was Bigbang, like, literally, Alldaylong is a Jiu song and Jiu writes for the fans and she chose an 80's summer vibe, while A Heart of Sunflower jz whisks u away to an ancestral pain and makes u forget everything and jz bathes u in the moment, what an album

[@irisanevermore2276]

it was 5 am when they dropped the mv and i was like 👁👄👁

[@fae91]

34:24 the only loophole with that theory is that Gahyeon is in the center if you look at the choreo...

[@toyamits6108]

Basically that was confirmed that MV is inspired from the movie "US" Gahyeon confirmed it on IG

[@jonathanclements2498]

Having avoided all spoilers all week I have to say it was worth it, although I will say: 1 - Longest. Week. Ever. & 2 - next comeback I think I'll have to watch some of them because I've been literally vibrating since 10am and I don't even want to know what my blood pressure been at (I'm just glad the chorio didn't include a Dami bodyroll, cause I'm pretty sure that would have ended me). As for the mv/song, love both, I've seen it mentioned that it was influenced the the movie "Us" and definitely comes through in some of the shots more than I was expecting (particularly the wide of them in the white & red outfits). Also, I'm currently rewatching the VOD of the Crossroads concerts and realising that the merry-go-round horses feature in that set is now slowly turning me into that Charlie Day conspiricy meme as I over analyse everything DC have put out in the last few months looking for crumbs & teasers (like was Sua finding the mask in the DC Mind horror eps a tease for the part where she has the mask in the mv?)...don't mind me I'll just be in the corner over there slowly putting on my clown outfit...

MAKNAE APPRECIATION

[@ReapTheWhirlwind]

Look at Kaia pretty much getting the plot of Us right without having seen it. Though I would like to say that Us is a social commentary with very specific implications for Americans, using a horror/suspense movie as a vehicle, and I suspect that these elements may have been lost on Deukae. I bring that up because they still managed to capture the essence of the message of Us in the MV somehow. If you ever watch Us I suggest doing it early on in the day and then going outside to touch the grass and look at the sky. The biggest Us reference is right at the beginning of the MV, when they're standing in a line. My mind also found a lot of references to previous comebacks. The apple reminded me of when SuA talks about the red apple in Chase Me. The evil doppelgangers and Gahyeon surrounded by plants seem like callbacks to Fly High. The ocean view is clearly a reference to Moonbyul's rap in Gleam. 😂 j/k But my mind definitely did go there.

Bookish Theories had a video out how the locale in Chase Me (and thus quite likely in Good Night) was Hotel Palme and that could be the hotel in this MV. The mirror where SuA got the apple could even be the one where the nightmare hunter ended up trapped.

[@christopherbochert7731]

Looking down into the description it lists the "Music in this video" as Kura Kura by TWICE - not sure if that's a youtube issue or a misbegotten link, but wanted to bring it up to make sure Dreamcatcher and DCC are getting what they deserve when people watch this video in terms of licensing and everything.
