Yeah I’d assume the sets were toned down in the final cause they don’t have like 40 minutes between performances to change sets lol. Like they kinda have to go more simple or have just one big thing cause they only have the length of a preamble film to change stuff over and for the dancers to get changed and stuff.

2021-07-04 18:52:53 +0000 UTCI think the thing for me with the boyz' performances in the whole of kingdom tbh, was that one of the things I loved the most about their performances in rtk was their stage direction and how they choreographed their stages in terms of who was where when, and that was just never as interesting this year. Don’t get me wrong, there were cool moments in all their performances this time, but it was never as clever and creative as it was last year. It doesn’t take away from how good their kingdom performances at all, but it was probably my favourite thing about their performances last year, so for it to not really be utilised this year meant I maybe didn’t enjoy their stages quite as much as I might have.

2021-07-04 18:36:50 +0000 UTCIt's been wild. Going back to watch your reactions weeks after seeing it live helped me notice things I've missed before~ As someone who watched the show to support SF9, I'm really happy they were able to show everyone what they were capable of and gave performances that were better than their last with each round while showing that this is something they can do well (it's somewhat related to what you said about BTOB and SF9 performances from the round before this). I did come away with a soft spot for every group though, I'm looking forward to new music from all of them and hoping that their stint here shows more growth, whether it be in the k-fandom or i-fandom~ A general observation though, Mnet and Kingdom really pushed the It's One and Mayfly divide til the end, huh? Minhyuk talking about how some of his reactions and praise about the It's One groups weren't included, Chan mentioning how SF9 always took care of Stray Kids but it was never shown. Mnet stingy til the end lmao.

2021-06-28 01:50:47 +0000 UTCTwas an interesting ride. Like you I managed to avoid spoilers. Like you I also expected Stray Kids to win when learning global fan voting was going to be included. I really didn't know some of the groups at all before the show, (BTOB, SF9, The Boyz {yes, I didn't watch Road to Kingdom}), and I barely knew Ateez. When I heard iKon announced as being in the show I couldn't help thinking, "they have no chance unless they really surprise me," because they just don't have the vibe of a group out to put on a gonzo spectacle, they just want to do their song having fun. Final Episode Ranking as just a song to listen to: 1 - SF9 2 - Ateez 3 - The Boyz 4 - BTOB 5 - Stray Kidz 6 - iKon Final Episode Ranking taking the performance into account: 1 - SF9 2 - Ateez 3 - Stray Kidz 4 - iKon 5 - BTOB 6 - The Boyz Overall ranking based on every episode/performance: 1 - SF9 (Super impressed by them, had no idea who they were, and they end up my favorite) 2 - Ateez (They performed consistently best, even if I didn't pick them) 3 - Stray Kidz (Yeah, they were great, but I'm always hit and miss with their songs, some I love, some not as much, and Wolfgang wasn't it for me) 4 - iKon (They did as well as I could have hoped, but just didn't have the creativity needed to put on spectacular stages) 5 - BTOB (I'll get killed for this, but Eunkwang's voice was their downfall to me, at times pushing for a high harmony he just never quite got it to sound "right" to me, but I can see plenty to like in this group overall) 6 - The Boyz (probably hurt by having performed on Road to Kingdom, if they didn't have to try and switch up their performances because of everything they had done previously it could have been completely different) Anyway, thanks for the fun, I was kinda meh about watching this show as I was really only a fan of Stray Kidz and iKon going in, but watching it with you was a blast.

2021-06-26 22:56:48 +0000 UTCI'm bad at explaining but yeah, if the word that ends in ㅅ is alone, it's pronounced more like a T, like in the case of 멋, but if it continues, like 멋있어, the "empty" ㅇ takes the ㅅ and it's pronounced like an s again, if that makes sense?

2021-06-26 22:31:54 +0000 UTCI was waiting on this one just to see how you felt about a few certain things in the finale. The main one being The Boyz. Now don't get me wrong I love them and I adored the song / performance but the one thing as a performer myself that I didn't like was all of the prerecorded segments. To me that takes away the purpose of it being a "live" finale. I mean I am all for using peices of it to enhance the performance but to put actual parts of the performance into it is a little bit unfair to me because it can be manipulated and staged in a way that it can't on a live stage. The Boyz didn't need that either and they've proven thier skill over and over again on live stages. I hate feeling that way cause I wanted to love it like thier others but I couldn't (and I've been attacked by a few for stating this opinion) but I think it would have been on the same level as the others for me if they hadn't cut into the performance so much.
