Big hit really hit the lottery with Jimin, like he has such a special voice for a man

Yall have to remember that this was written during the pandemic so he was also reflecting on his missing the spotlight and army and coping being alone. On suchwita he said to Yoongi, there was a time where i drank alot and yall let me....yoongi told him they let him get through it but they were there when and if he needed them. I think this song is about that time

“Jimin of 10 years ago would be in awe of Jimin today.” Damn that is so true. Yet he keeps saying currently he’ll work harder to make up for what he lacks. Like this is why he’s so good. He’s still hungry to grow and improve and be the best.

jimin said it’s about the time he lost himself in all the escapism to cope (during pandemic). after that period he realised “wait what am i even doing“ and came to the realization he wasn’t simply having fun he was actually just escaping his problems/loneliness/pain. and basically set me free is about facing those issues head on and setting himself free from them. this is a conclusion from the things he said about the songs himself.

A guy in another reaction video said "he gives you so freaking much without giving you too much and leaving you waiting for something else"! That's the perfect definition for Park Jimin. 🤌🏻 💜

I genuinely feel like we're watching Jimin's full on growth towards his own freedom, the intimacy of the song, the way he carries it, it's so raw and different compared to his other solo releases. It's like he's telling us, he wants to be free from the stereotypes and boundaries of KPOP artists, maybe even the stigma towards BTS. A beautiful song from a beautiful man.

For me Jimin has always stood out the most in BTS. I'm not shocked by the level of his album, the live performances and the choreographies , I've been waiting for it for a long time and it exactly lives up to what I expected from him. He has that extra something that makes great artists

Jimin is a genius... If you watch his live performance of both songs, they are even more spectacular

Like Crazy does have a full choreo but they chose not to include it in the MV, which i think is SUCH a FASCINATING choice. And i think they wanted the trippy emotive vibe the video has that you described to speak for itself and not have choreo pull away from it. There's the Jimmy Fallon performance, Music Bank, KBS, and Studio Choom performances and the dance practice of Like Crazy. I HIGHLY recommend watching at least one of them so you can see the choreo because it's LOVELY! I really love this song, it's so great.

it's crazy how "like crazy" sounds perfect.

“For my sanity it can’t be that long” *video is almost an hour long*

“ *I* am your form of therapy “ That statement has never been stronger ❤ Loving this confident PD vibe ever since you have moved to Korea!!

this definitely deserved the hour long review. best solo debut

I drank and partied alot when my husband and I divorced. I seemed so happy but I clung to the social environment for dear life and I wanted to stay lost in the experience of drinking with loud music and company. I really connected to this video. I remember thinking I would break if I had to face reality. No matter what the pain, this is identifiable.

I think Jimin is the epitome of "Even if you did expect it, you can't handle it". Jimin is that good.

Jimin's eyes, the way he looks at the camera, like he is casting a spell. He was the first one to capture my attention out of BTS, because of how his eyes just mesmerize, and draw you to him...sweet Chim Chim Mochi.

To me Like crazy is more about escapism, just what people usually can do when they don't want to accept reality - get drunk and lost in the lights of the party and finally feel alive tho they're "wasting time". Especially bearing in mind that Jimin wrote this during pandemic (and a whole album is kind of a pandemic diary) and said himself that he used to drink a lot being alone at that time. One interesting thing I noticed just now watching this reaction. There is a lot of light flickering in the video, literally in almost every frame it flashes. It gave me a feeling of nervousness, anxiety, panic. It is not strong, quite subtle in some parts, but is always there in a background. Like an underlying feeling of anxiety, which is always with you, wherever you are.

after listening to it for a couple times i got obsessed and i just cant get over it and the fact that jimin has grown so much as an artist, i’m really proud of him

Omg 56 minutes of you going crazy over Jimin? Hell yes lol

For a very long time I had lost interest in music. I still listened every day hoping I could find someone or someone's that could make me feel again but nothing for over a year now. I can only listen to my favourite songs so many times but even they were not giving me the emotions that they used to or music once gave me. I was about to turn away for a while but then Jimin announced his album & I have been waiting ever since. I have been waiting for years for an entire album of Jimins voice, a voice that moved me like none other. Let's just say that on laying down, earphones on, eyes closed, I sobbed listening to FACE. I felt everything. Music is wonderful, it can make you cry, jump up and down, headbang, dance romantically, it brings so many emotions so FACE did this for me after I had lost interest. I could feel the music, something I hadn't felt in a long time. I felt his pain instead of just hearing it, Jimin literally had me on my knees sobbing my fucking heart out and exhausting those tears to the point I was all cried out until I listened to it a second time and it happened again. Yes, it's still happening now and I thank Jimin from the bottom of my heart for giving this to us and making these emotions surface again.

You got it right, it’s Jimin mirroring himself into individuality.

33:43 “I think we could last forever.” “I’m afraid that everything will disappear.” “Just trust me.” 51:25 “Alone again. What’s the point?” The beginning and ending voices were excerpts from a movie entitled, “Like Crazy” (2011)

Was a hardcore bts fan from 2013 til 2018. Couldn’t keep up with the fandom and all the contents they had. But I’ve always appreciated Jimin’s artistry. So being able to witness his Solo album, my first ever bias is such a blessing. I’ve been blessed by Jinyoung, Seulgi and finally Jimin’s solo. Now I think I can rest in peace hahaha

Jimin has always been confident of himself, he is just too humble, also I don't get it why everyone is shocked with his music! His previous songs are all masterpiece. Hope people learn to give him his due respect

Damn, PD's journey with BTS is deep AF! Thank you for sharing all of that. It was both interesting and inspirational. I guess BTS really do leave a profound impact on others. Great video, keep up the great work!

jimin said all the album songs are about how he got through the pandemic. based on the order of the songs, i think this was him drinking away his worries and trying to forget that pandemic anxiety

The intricacy of Jimin, the music video, lyrics, and PD and Blair is a sensory overload. I've ascended to a plane of existence I didn't even know was possible

It gets better when you put it in the context of the whole album. Jimin’s a great storyteller.

it is Jimins dark time in the pandemic where he got drunk every Night and was depressed. he woke up and looked at him self and realized how messed up he has gotten. so he wrote this song to explain his dark time. you can see how lonely and sad he looks when he is awake, with mud on the floor and him starring out into the air. and then the hand crap him and he is sucked in to his own mind where he can forgets it all, and everything is nice, and he want to stay there. his drunken mind. and when he wakes up he return to the chair like nothing happened. like he return to reality and everything is the same. depressed again.

It is very interesting how different people have complete different perception of a single peace of art. I understood this song completely differently. But maybe because we are project ourselves into the art we encounter. To me, this is him being incredibly depressed and trying to run from his darkness and depression by drowning himself into an intoxicated state, forgetting how lonely he is. He rather be lost in the lights than face the darkness within him. It's a very self destructive state of mind. I am way too familiar with this mode of being. And while I have came a long way in my healing journey, this song touches such an injured part of me, which makes me feel hurt and seen at the same time. And btw this song has a full choreo. And it is my favorite choreography of this year. Smooth and unbearably sexy, yet vulnerable. So is this song, so is Jimin.

Yes it’s self reflection definitely- during the pandemic phase when he went through tough time Jimin recommended to listen to the songs in his album in order to get the full story he is telling- the phase he went through during the pandemic

About what you guys said here 36:01 -- there's a theory going around since immediately after the premiere that "She" in the beginning is referring to Jimin. The song talks a lot about "reflections", especially in the English version, and in the choreography he mirrors a female dancer in the second verse as if she were his reflection in the mirror. In the album tagline and in his live, he talked about the meaning of the word "FACE" as the act of "facing" something, and specifically of facing unfamiliar versions of himself. In the music video, there's a woman in a few shots before the second verse that mirrors all of Jimin's shots, and they come face to face with each other before it cuts to him looking in the mirror. That same woman is the one who grabs him in the very beginning of the MV with her hand covered in mud, and at the very end of the MV he comes back in with *his* hand covered in mud, too. There's a lot more to this theory, but to address you guys' comments that it seems like he's talking to himself even when he says "She", there's a possibility that that was his intention, and "She" is actually still him. (this also follows pretty smoothly from the message in his performances of Filter, too)

honestly the song conveys so well the fake happiness of escapism

방탄이 잘 되는 이유는 모든 멤버의 역량이 다 커서 입니다. 지민이가 최애지만 모든 멤버에 존경을

I think like crazy is really about avoiding facing realities. In the English version my favorite lyrics are ‘Emotions on ice’ like I’m putting a pause on feeling anything rn.

Here's to PD and his goal of making an impression as a producer in Korea. It was sad to hear how some of your friends and family doubted you reaching your lifelong dream. Thank you for sharing those difficulties you experienced. I hope that you will enjoy the process of living out your dream as it becomes reality.

I think you guys nailed that he feels “like crazy” being torn between two versions of himself: Idol Jimin, who seems to thrive in the spotlight, his fame/hubris reaching dizzying heights, and true Jimin, who’s on the verge of losing himself, perpetually trapped behind a mask. When he tries to pull fame-flushed Jimin out of the spotlight, his other self doesn’t want to wake up; the video flows in reverse, and the walls come back up. He doesn’t have time to hold true Jimin’s hand, he’s too busy living the dream. This MV is a power struggle-if true Jimin loses then the hand of temptation grabs him again, and he’s falling, falling, falling. And if idol Jimin loses then he also loses the ability to dream, possibly forever, having lost the highest high he’ll ever achieve. Idol Jimin is a seduction, the promise of a good time, but he always ends up alone at the end of the night. He can’t ever slow down, he pushes people aside to get where he needs to go, he starts to believe in his polished “face” and forgets what he’s supposed to look like underneath. And when he goes back home, where he’s supposed to be true Jimin again, the muck of his other life is still all over him. He’s pretending that he can enjoy normalcy but he’s become addicted to an idol’s lifestyle. He’s not true Jimin anymore-his hands are dirty now. This song is also inspired by the movie 'Like Crazy' and its depiction of irresolvable tension between an entangled pair. In that opening whispered conversation, one seems dramatic, romantic, certain-“I think we can last forever-just trust me” and one is terrified that this promise is too good to be true, that it’s unsustainable-“I’m afraid that everything will disappear.” Jimin uses this narrative about a rocky relationship-a turmoil that is both addictive and damaging, a temptation that urges one to live in the moment and not slow down to consider the big picture-as a one-to-one for his relationship with his own fame, and with his stage persona. This MV is designed to seem sexy; he’s emphasizing the full extent of the temptation that fame offers, the glitter of his fulfilled dream distracting from the intensely lonely and debilitating lifestyle. It mimics the way infatuation often seems to make up for fundamental flaws in a relationship, the high peaks overshadowing the low valleys. In love, like fame, the rewards have to feel worth the inevitable suffering. If the cost starts to outweigh the benefit-well, you’d be crazy to keep pursuing such a painful dream (hence the title). And Jimin often examines himself through the lens of duality or multiplicity. In his past lyrics he depicts himself as a liar, always in conflict, wearing different faces or filters, which trend and shift as his audience’s tastes change. He’s always exposing the boundary between truth and persona. Bisecting himself is the only way he can reconcile the fallible human truth of who he is with what he’s become-mega-famous, an idol (in the full, worshipful sense of that word) who is lauded, hounded, awarded, surrounded, critiqued, overworked, and utterly dependent on the whims of strangers and strictures of his company’s branding. This album is simply titled “Face,” and its jacket art is a ripple in a silvery reflection. There’s a disruption in that reflection, and whatever conflict is happening below is now beginning to warp the surface. Duality is a big headline in BTS's discography, alongside their emphasis on personas, shadows, and masks. This song is itself operating on multiple levels, superficially about the movie 'Like Crazy,' and visually about drowning your sorrows and losing yourself in the allure of the party/high, but subtextually about the torment of fame and its reliance on manipulating people’s perceptions. He’s so high that he has no choice but to anticipate the fall, it’s the inevitable result of wanting something to the point of obsession, the final stage of being driven (like) crazy. The BTS brand is often about simplicity and marketability on its face. Fun, industry compliant songs and videos that service the fans as well as appealing to the masses, with popular features, broadly applicable titles, and plausibly deniable themes. And then, if you’re looking, there’s always this wealth of real artistic merit, introspection, humility, and self-awareness brewed into the art they’re making. It’s phenomenal to peel it all apart. Anyway I know literally no one’s going to read this essay but your commentary (and Jimin’s craft) really got me thinking!

I hope you check the English version of the song it has a different lyrics and offers a different perspective. Since jimin said it's about facing himself. It feels like the song is about him masking his real personality or aspects of himself he couldn't accept. He drank a lot to cope but at the same time he's suffering and wants to stop. He wants to keep going into the drunk state since it's the only thing keeping him going.

His confidence definitely grew, that’s why he released this album, which is great!

Like jimin said, he didnt expect this album or songs to get so popular, he knew not putting a choreo ment maybe not as much sucess to the song but has once again proved that he shines with or without his dancing. The mv is perfect ! Thanks for watching ❤

There is a dance practice, a live performance and a studio choom and a acoustic version !

Face is such a brilliant album. It's beautifully written and produced storybook manifested through songs. And the hidden track is a gem. Jimin is perfection. He doesn't put out anything less of perfection

Let's keep supporting him ARMY

Yes, this was 💯 sultry 80s vibe!😀 I’d recognize that sound anywhere!!! (note the signature 80s mullet) but Jimin put his modern, special ‘stamp’ on it! This brings back old memories! He makes me want to go back to that era and experience it all over again! He does have a fully English version of this song on his album, by the way. 😊 Notice the words “Set Me Free” on the bathroom wall?! Notice also the two females in an intimate posture in infrared…that’s significant. To me, the meaning behind this song is so deep…it’s about escapism from his troubles - all the negative voices in his head and the depression he had during the pandemic; but then realizing at the end of it (the partying) he’s still alone and nothing is resolved - the troubles don’t go away. Though it was a party scene, I didn’t feel it had a happy vibe…it was emotionally sad to me. I think the mud represents the physical manifestation of the toxicity that surrounded him. Just my opinion.☺️ Though some people think this story line is copied from the movie ‘Like Crazy’ he said it INSPIRED him to write this song. I don’t believe it’s about a relationship at all! The girl is a mirror image of him. If you watch the choreo created for this song, you’ll see what I mean. ***This whole album is just incredible!!! Phenomenal!!! Jimin is a superstar!! 💜🐥👼🏻

"he says she but it's not actually /her/, he talks to himself" the person who pulls him into the club with a muddy hand wears a leather jacket, like the girl we see later in the mv in focus. you can see that jimin and her are mirrored, they are walking towards each other and meet in the center, like when you meet your reflection when walking up close to the mirror. and right after they met we transition to the next scene where he literally looks in the mirror and talks about his reflections. the choreography also includes a mirrored dance with a her-reflection-figure. i thought it could be taken in a romantic plot way BUT you would expect that main character of the mv meeting a girl in a club will lead to some more romantic visual story development, but in Like Crazy it doesn't. it actually goes even more introspective after that also want to mention that Face had two versions: software and hardware. software photo concept showed Jimin more vulnerable, hurt, soft, in light and calm colors, kind of similar to his image in the room when he sits by the table. hardware showed him more guarded, stoic, almost cold or invincible in *black leather jacket*

Jimin is a Genius, not only talented, he tought of everything. Actually this album is the raw version of himself like he said before. This is the album of my life, no doubt. Jimin messed up the whole music industry with his album!!!. King ❤👑

jm was always a confident person. why do people think he was not is a mystery.

감사합니다~ 지민이의 마음이 가득 담긴 일기같은 FACE앨범~ 진심이 전해지는 노래들~ 마음을 울리는 지민이의 노래는 언제나 감동입니다~ Like crazy는 괴로움,회피,이 꿈에서 깨기 싫은,즐겁지만 즐겁지 않은,화려한 삶 이면의 쓸쓸함 방황등을 담았다고 알고 있습니다. 👍👍👍🌟👼🌟💖💖💖

Given what Jimin told us about the song in different videos and his weverse live and my own interpretation of the lyrics, I think Like Crazy is about escapism. I find the message to be very relatable as it is something I have experience with. We know this album is about his feelings throughout the lockdown, and it's clear he wasn't feeling the best. In Suchwita, he talked about drinking a lot at that time. I think this song talks about those experiences, using alcohol to run away from reality. And not wanting that haze of when you are drunk to end even though you know it's not good for you. It's not good to always want to escape reality, so at some point, you have to wake up from that dream. I find it to be a very relatable song as escapism can come in many forms, and like I said, I have experiences with it if of my own. It's comforting to know you're not alone. We all want to escape reality sometimes. If we get more into the MV and the lyrics, this is my interpretation of some parts. I think the "she" he is singing about at the start, and the girl in the video are all Jimin himself. But they are his other personalities (idk how to explain this but like, different parts of him). At the start "she" is telling him it's okey to not think about it. "It" being reality. "There's not a bad thing here tonight" meaning, in the haze of being drunk, you can be happy and let go of all your worries. "Stay with me, just for today" is the themptation (she) telling him to stay drunk, to not wake up from the dream. Cause if you do, you're back to reality. Later he sings "a cliché story like a drama, I'm getting used to it" He's been escaping reality for so long now, it's normal to him. "Did I come too far to find the me you used to know?" He is loosing himself in this dream he created for himself. I think the chorus talks about the feeling of letting yourself enter this dream. But then there is the "oh i'm fallin" line in the background, warning him that he can't stay in the dream forever The girl in the video is his reflection, his other self (that's why they never meet each other) In the verse right after it he looks into the mirror and also talks about his reflection. "My reflection within the mirror, I'm going endlessly crazy". Again, I think this talks about him being aware that he is indulging in escapism, but he also loves it -> "I'm feeling so alive, wasting time" It's his two personalities being in conflict with each other. This comes back in the bridge/ending chorus. (Idk what to call it exactly). There he is talking to himself; "This will break me, this is gonna break me" Again showing he is aware he needs to get back to reality. "No don't you wake me, I wanna stay in this dream. Don't save me,don't you try to save me. I need a way we, I need a way we can dream on." At the end of the day he still longs for this feeling of being in a dream. Of being carefree and happy without the troubles of everyday life being on his mind. The way I interpret it, the lyrics are also a vicious cicle. At the end he is aware that he needs to wake up, but he wants to keep the dream going, so he indulges in escapism again. At that point the "she" from the start of the song comes back, saying it is okey. "Stay with me, just for tonight" And thus he convinces himself to indulge again, leading into the rest of the lyrics once more. It's a perfect portrayal of how hard it is to break the cycle and pull yourself out of such a mindset. Something else I want to mention about the visual aspect and my interpretation is that at the start, when he get's pulled away by the mud covered hand, I think this is the "she" the temptation, pulling him onto escapism again. But at the end, you see Jimin's own hand is covered in mud, thus showing that he is pulling himself in again and again. He convinces himself it is okey to indulge in escapism. That's also why his apartment is muddy, it's his own doing. I also think the stockholm shirt is on purpose, indeed hinting at stockholm syndrome and the "falking for your captor" aspect. It's him falling for the escape that "she" offers him.

In short, “Like Crazy” is as mesmerizing as #Jimin’s voice and personality 💖💖💖🏆🥇👑✨

This whole thing gave me major the Weeknd vibes. The music makes you dance but when you dig deeper it’s deep deep SADNESS. ‘Can’t feel my face’ had ppl stunned when they really dug into the lyrics. ‘Blinding lights’ is SAD lol

As a stand alone, this song could mean about holding on to something you consider happy moments but actually just in superficial level, like "there's nothing wrong here but everything is actually wrong behind all these smiles and party vibes" so Jimin is trying to hold on to that superficial level but he knows deep down the pretending won't last forever, something has to give in and it's breaking something in him upon realizing that those moments he considered happy aren't actually sincere. You should listen to the whole album (EP). The track list is arranged to like a series of events and you will find out more why Like Crazy is the way it is and you will appreciate Set Me Free pt2 even more, like I didn't know it's possible, i was in love with SMF PT2 more than Like Crazy but after hearing the whole EP, my appreciation went to a different level. I'm inlove with the whole album

i cant remember the exact words but someone commented on the parallels of jimin's masculine and feminine side and how they interacted in the video. it is much more highlighted in the choreo tho. I'm just amaze by jimin honestly

Hope jimin continue..because he can do more.

The whispering is from the characters in the movie "Like Crazy". Its is exactly what he went through. "Everything will disappear." This movie inspired Jimin to write this song. I watched the movie yesterday. I liked it for a low budget Independent Film. It won Best Film at Sundance awhile back. The young actress Felicity Jones won Best Actress. The guy actor was good too.

Thank you for this reaction! It's so beautiful to see that KZfaqrs care about what the followers suggest. And Jimin? Legend!

I am so happy that Jimin has inspired you to keep on being you. I wish you much success in your endeavors. Jimin did not have it easy. He was almost kicked out of BigHits 8 times before his debut only becoming a BTS member the day before they performed. BigHits did not give him any vocal training because they had not decided to keep him. He asked V and JK if he could listen in on their vocal training sessions. Afterwards he would go off to himself and practiced what the vocal coach told V and Jk to do. With no official vocal training, Jimin still became the lead vocalist. He was often critized because his voice cracked or he ran out of breathe. All the other members had 2 to 3 years of vocal training but Jimin was self taught at the time. He also had the hardest choreography. He did most of the tricks and he would travel from one end to the other end and in-between the dance. Jimin trained in Hip Hop and Kpop in his early years and even won a few competitions. He then decided to train in contemporary dance and was at the top of his class but he said this changed how he moved his body. Since BigHits was Hip Hop/Kpop, his body movement didn't quite fit their idea of dance and why he was almost let go but thank heaven they decided to keep him. It is said that no one can move like Jimin nor can he be duplicated. I believe this is all due to his training over the years. He trained in Taekwondo and became a black belt in it. He also train in Kendo (fencing) for 8 years as well as other martial arts. He trained in ballet and Japanese dance and other dance styles. I believe this is why his dance is so unique. He is known to be one of the best dancers in the world. I think his body feels the music and he just follows it. I recommend you watch his videos Jimin Main Dancer and Jimin Lead Vocalist. There are more videos about his dancing, singing, and martial arts training if you are interested. I find this man completely fascinating. Jimin has become who he is today through sheer hard work and determination. Jimin never gave up even through all the criticism. I want to give his BTS members credit for always encouraging him on. They have all contributed to his success. Thanks BTS!

Couple hair goals wow

I really hope it gets more radio play, especially because he made an English version and apparently the lack of radio play is effecting his chart placement for BB. The song is so amazing and it is even more impressive that it is just Jimin. He could have collaborated to attract listeners from another fan base but he didn't go that route with his first album. That being said, I hope he does collab in the future.

It’s true make the jealousy turn into a positive way .. Thank u and yes JIMIN really inspire everyone with his album 🙏🙏

PD this is before you watched the mv, you are so inspiring and brave for sharing this part of your life and your way of thinking with your audience. Thank you for making me feel encouraged and also for letting me know someone else’s interpretation to Jimin’s art so I can find myself in it. Now let me watch you watch the mv lol🤍🫂

Jimin Like Crazy MV Live Stage performance Dance practice and Studio choorm performance was really good an I love that film work and transitions

Dear pd, no matter how long the video is, don't worry, I am certainly happy to watch it, the longer the better tbh, I really like listening to what you are willing to share

There’s always something magical in Jimin’s work and presentation, really charming ☁️

So nice to hear you talking more on KZfaq 😊

He charted no 1 on the Billboard hot 100

The whole Album FACE masterpiece Jimin puT a lot of message for The Album.. btw l enjoyed your reaction thanks💜💜💜yoU nice keep going

I don't know what's in this song but I can't stop listening to it since it came out, it's at the top of my list I'm mesmerized by it. Dare I say one of the best songs in kpop !!

PD, we're looking forward to a whole FACE album listening party + the hidden track, I'd love to see your reaction and also, Jimin said that he arranged the album chronologically like telling a story of what he went through during the pandemic.

I've been anticipating this reaction so much! And I'm glad you did a third reaction to really digest it, but ahhh, I was so hoping you would notice that shortly after we see the woman (you know which one), she and Jimin circle around each other on the dancefloor, finally facing off just as we cut to Jimin looking at his reflection in the mirror. She's wearing a black leather jacket, indicating that hers is the hand that grabs him and pulls him into the club scene at the beginning. She's his reflection he "can't even recognize" as the lyrics say, which also echoes the album concept: "Face, the reflection of myself in an unfamiliar appearance." Her black leather outfit is also similar to Jimin's hardware concept photos, not to mention she even kind of looks like Jimin. Jimin's muddy hand at the end just affirms this. That's to say nothing of the choreography, which makes it even more apparent that she's his reflection. For additional queer-coding, see the Mapplethorpe pants in the MV, the Jean-Paul Gautier body-print pants in Jimin's software concept photos, the Philip Johnson (architect of the glass house) poster in Jimin's playlist video, the Rainer Maria Rilke poem in Set Me Free pt.2, and what else? I'm probably missing more things...

The MV didn't have choreography but the song itself definitely has choreo that goes really well with it. I don't need to say it but of course he eats the performance. It's enthralling to watch.

I love how deeply personal it feels.

finally reactors that got this song is about him and not some "woman" and "she" is him

Just when u thought he couldn't do better than the last video he blows it away again . Like how can u pick a fave video from his amazing lineup. Wow its just mindblowing.

Jimin is the best ❤. El mejor bailarín y cantante de esta época

Theres and acoustic jazz version of this you really need to see that coz omg if you are blown by this then the other version will lead you to heaven.

At the end I hear “alone again.. whats the point” but i love how you guys when so into detail with this review. This song is so deep and beautiful and a lot of people look over that.

The choreo is AMAZING though not shown in the MV. I love the Jimmy Fallon performance.

♦Jimin mentioned that one of his fav movies “Like Crazy” inspired parts of the song aside from the title of song. In the beginning as well as ending to the song, he even samples excerpts from it. Jimin has also said that many of the songs on the album convey what he was going through, his thoughts, his feelings, his emotions as well as despair & depression, during the pandemic in the last few yrs. He also was hoping that maybe it could help others by way of relating & going through similar difficulties during pandemic. So this song Like Crazy, could also be during that time, thinking back while laying his head down, on table in that depressing small room, dreaming of the better times in the past, when he was free to enjoy himself, as well as being with someone or with friends, or even around ppl in general, being able to be free to go out & party. Which is why he even said in the lyrics please don’t wake me up from this dream. I want to stay here.. Maybe that was what all the dirty grimyness also represented, despair of situation, how he felt or how things were at that time, even when it seemed to even ooze into his dream state.

This song is beautiful, seductive, heart-breaking, stunning with an insane instrumental, catchy as heck melody (betting Jimin wrote it as he's known for his amazing melodies), deep lyrics, and perfect choreo. I listen to it many many times a day and have get to get tired of it. The live acoustic version is fantastic, I am desperate to have it on spotify, and you need to see the music show live performances, blew my mind. not just the LC ones but the SMFp2 ones as well. Jimin gave us so much. The rest of the album is freaking amazing. Play it from the beginning to end. And the hidden song Letter, Jimin's heartfelt letter to ARMY is also stunning. It's beautiful. And it still makes me cry.

I perfectly understand his state of mind, he is avoiding reality, because it was to much to handle, so many of us felt like that during lock down

I personally feel that some of this is a reference to alcohol, he said that he drank a lot when he was going through such a hard time, using it as an escapism. I mean you probably know that when drunk it masks your reality, sometimes it can make you feel great, giggly, dancy & other times you can fall into a dark place. Once the alcohol wears off he's back to normality/reality where the days repeat themselves all over again. I've used alcohol in such a way too, to take me out of the self hatred & reality but this song will make much more sense when you listen to the entire album. I also believe that "Lost in the lights" could be referencing that he's happy when on stage performing but then after he's all alone again. Hence "Drive".

I have experienced the same rollercoaster. after watching Danger music video multiple time a day for a month or so, I decided to watch their other stuff so I discovered No more dream, NO, just one day, spring day and Not today all at once. the range of emotions I went through... my god

Reaction at 10:43. The talk before it worth listening to. ❤

You should check out Jimin singing Like Crazy acoustic version LIVE

Love the smiles hugs happy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The choreography is absolutely amazing

“Jimin plays all of the women” omg you cracked the code

I for one am obsessed with like crazy. It's like crack istg. Just too good. It's hypnotizing.

Jimin stated that this album is about when we all were in lockdown with Covid. To me, he is home stuck with all the darkness or shit on the floor and drinking and going crazy cause he can't go out and do all the things he is doing in the video. The hand with the mud may be the dark side of emotions he faced during this time in his life. Now since this is the main track, he is trapped in 4 walls, the last track "Set Me Free" is when the lockdown is lifted and he is proclaiming that he is free and he is not going to let anyone stop him from living his life and being free to want he wants since he was trapped. Boy did he let everything free!!!!!

Jimin is VERY modest and humble. He never praises himself. From my understanding, this is a very traditional way to behave in Korea. In general, he does not have low self-esteem or disbelief in himself. If he did, he would never have aimed for entrance into an arts high school, never gone to an idol audition, never worked as hard as he did throughout the years (and still does). There are very few times that he has been vocal about his ambitions. Festa 2021 comes to mind, where he said that he had achieved all his goals so far. Or when he told his father that no matter what, he would make it. In all his interviews, he has said that the album is about the feelings he went through during the pandemic. Until he says differently, everything else is pure speculation.

I hope y'all react to the performance of Like Crazy too - the choreo just ELEVATES this amazing song to soaring new heights - hypnotic in the best way possible!

I think this was my favorite review you have ever done. And I've been watching for years and years

PD, just wanted to appreciate you sharing your reflections in the beginning! ❤

I love when you pour your heart out during reaction videos. This channel is special because no one do a thorough reaction/analytics on a single song. You have a unique way to keep the viewers engaged and I’m glad the videos are long😁 Please don’t change anything. We want exactly as it is. Thank you. Much love from India.

The silent people in the background…Kudos to the producers for creating the music and sound as it is…

the first time listening to like crazy is like a fever dream. like i was floating

Wow you guys really went into a deep dive there! 😅 What I love about BTS MVs is how its so well done and just invites interpretation, analysis and breakdowns all on its own. What I got from my initial watch was that Jimin was going through a breakdown, maybe because of someone else, a relationship, himself or just life and he wanted to get through it by being lost in a dream (I assumed the club was inside his head, since we see a shot of him dejected that seems less warped) where's he can get drunk and not confront whats happening. And in the end with the whisper 'alone again, whats the point' he's kind of resigned that its not a sustainable option of surviving. Because even when he's inside the club, the black goo (which I interpreted as his clouded, dark and negative emotions) keeps spilling through. And after listening to this after hearing him say this was how he felt during the pandemic and in the context of the entire album, it does make sense! But ofcourse, interpretation is entirely upto the listener. There were even some very well thought out analyses on how it could be about him trying to come to terms with the feminine side to him (the girl in black being that reflection), fully embracing it in order to be himself; with the choreography kind of adding to it. So yes, all theories valid! I'm just in awe of how he created a masterful piece of art that is so detailed yet seems so simple at the same time. Truly amazing how far Jimin has come!

i love love LOVE the impact that bangtan seems to have on all of us... it's like them getting people to re-think their entire lives & sense of selves is a rite of passage that no army or fan can escape & i just think that's super neat

the way i'm screaming to the screen "ALONE!! ALONE AGAIN, WHAT'S THE POINT" lol sdhgd
