Monbebes have been talking about how the structure of the song itself, like the way the third chorus isn't introduced by Kihyun's pre-chorus, and it ends abruptly is symbolic of the sort of gaslighting that happens in a toxic relationship; the song pulls you in, promising you things, and having you anticipate a drop, but it's like a lie, cause the song never really goes there. It's just messing with the listener, making them feel like, "what, no I need more!" at the end of the song. It's so genius! MX are BRILLIANT

It's the way they did the rush hour rock version and I was like "ok love it so much" and then they came with a gambler rock version on the mbc gayo and I was like "that must definitely be a hint to the comeback come on", and I was right, and I love it so much, and I need that rush hour rock version in the streaming apps too. The whole album is amazing I can always count on Monsta x for quality music, they never let me down.

I still don't understand how Monstax's songs are arranged, it's really unpredictable, every part feels like a chorus, even the rapline aaaaaa ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

I'm willing to bet that a large part of this was Kihyun's idea, he's always gravitated toward rock when given the choice. And Hyungwon's voice easily lofting up and floating over that chorus is everything.

The raps in MX songs are not just for cursory sake but they’re MX’s identity 🥹

The whole album is fire & unpredictable too! Monsta X seems to be never lazy with even their b-sides, especially when the members are part of the process. 🔥

I liked how they ocasionally did little subtle change outs for the members. I.M would switch with Hyungwon and Jooheon would switch with Minhyuk. And since the costumes, styling and hair were almost identical for the switches, sometimes you really have to be paying attention to notice them.

A lot of monbebes believe that the reason that this mv feels high budget is because of contract renewals. I’m not sure if PD knew but for a few months 3/6 members hadn’t renewed and were in discussions. We believe that Monsta X asked for a higher budget and not only for music videos, we have noticed that starship has promoted this comeback a lot more than previous ones. So excited for the album reaction! This album is very experimental, even for Monsta X. I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions about it but personally, I love it!

This! This is definitely my favroite release of this year so far. I know its only the middle of January but still... this songs slaps so hard and all the bsides as well... Crescendo, Day Dream and Lone Ranger are soooo good toooo!!

"Flexing constantly," I get that. Watching their comeback stages, I get that sense that they know themselves and are self-assured enough that they can flex in their performances. And each of the members are showing their power. I am loving this golden age of Monsta X. Beautiful Liar is one of those songs that is just under my skin. The meandering structure, galloping rhythm, crazy guitars, the phrasing of the raps, and layered vocals are just staying with me. All the songs on the album are good. Btw, that sound at the end of the mv reminded me of the clock sound at the end of Minhyuk's Fantasia X trailer, or it could be a door locking/closing.

Monsta X are amazing! Top quality always, I just can’t believe they exist! IM and Joohoney duo is EVERYTHING! Kihyun’s angelic voice always! Minhyuk and Hyungwon brought such a sexy feeling to the vocals. Omg

One thing I like about Monsta X that they don't care about trends at all. They produce their own music and this is it. It is listener's choice to like them or not but they NEVER give up quality for popularity and for 8 years this is such a risky thing to do however this is what they do 👑👑

What I love about this song is how it doesn't follow the usual structures so it surprises you, like you except the chorus but you get a rap instead. Your analysis make me appreciate their songs even more and especially the MV! They never disappoint 😍

kihyun finally getting to do the rock style he's been wanting to do!

OMG, been waiting for this reaction! Stunning right? I don't even know how it's possible, but they outdo themselves EVERY CB!

I've been listening/following MX since their survival show and this literally hit SO hard for me. I've never replayed a MX song so many times in a while. These guys know how to heighten their sound that MX just ownnnnns. They do not get enough credit.

ATP i'm so used to you praising monsta x newest single i feel like the comeback era isn't complete until you do so - tysm once again for your kind words, monbebe are beyond proud of the growth monsta x is showing, every step of the way 💘

Jooheon is a menace honestly. His arrangement on songs is ALWAYS unique and I love the massive wait for the second chorus. I do think we could have gone with a bridge and 3rd chorus but goodness gracious this song has me in a choke hold.

i was waiting for your reaction! monsta x are at their best rn i feel and they deserve every bit of praise from this comeback. it's really outstanding, not just from beautiful liar but the whole album. it truly is their own sound and nobody else can do that bc monsta x have their own uniqueness which i absolutely love

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t checking this channel every day since the release for your reaction! Monsta X are next level and their sound can’t be described as anything but “Monsta X” lol I’m glad there are people like you who appreciate these men. Seeing their natural growth makes me so proud and really excites me. Cannot wait for their next “best one yet!” Thanks for your reaction PD!

When I first heard this song, I immediately wanted to see you review it. This beat gives me some Depeche Mode vibes, but it's still all Monsta X.

It's my 4th year as a monbebe and becoming one was one of the best decisions that I've ever made. They're very different from other groups. They never follow the trends, they are the trends. Their music is amazing and they always put so much efforts in it. People who don't listen to Monsta X are missing out big time.

i love so much the arrangement of monsta x's songs, the quality is crazy and they are always innovating themselves! It's crazy how they never disappoints and always bring something new, to their music their album this time like the other albums is just a masterpiece 🔥

the best group in all universe....

This comeback is insanely good! I love Monsta X soo much!!!

AH YEEEEEAAAA. This is for me: I l really love how passionate Monsta X are about music. Because nowadays they really make the music THEY want to hear. And I respect that so much! Theyre really indepentent artists and I love it sm!

MONSTA X HAS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO BUT UP. A LOT HAS UNDER ESTIMATED THEM BUT THEY PROVE TIME AND TIME AGAIN HOW TALENTED THEY ARE.. THEY ALWAYS DELIVER. 🔥

“Monstax always deliver”

MONSTA X RAY?? ILL FINALLY SUBSCRIBE YAS

I just Still Cant Get over how they're still underrated as heck, like the recent tracks they've been putting out is on HIGH LEVELS and I hope Monbebes will ofcourse keep loving our boys, Their tracks are getting more and more deadly in the most brilliant way, and I dont want them to stop!!

this song was actually composed and arranged by people outside of the group. jooheon, i.m and hyungwon took part in writing the lyrics though

best release of 2023 so far, this song is so damn good

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't waiting for your reaction 😊. Monsta X always delivers for me and this was no different! Jooheon, IM, and Hyungwon wrote the lyrics for this. In fact, the three of them had a hand in all the songs in this mini album, except for Daydream. I love that they are moving toward a more self-producing group. It's about time! Also, I'd like to give a little shout out to Minhyuk! It's like someone finally said, show 'em what you've got! Not that he hasn't already (he's amazing), but this is the first title track I've seen him as more up front! ☺

Yes, this is so addictive i need more. BAKSU!!

Beautiful Liar was produced by Ryan S. Jhun, Space Primtes. The lyrics are from Joohoney, Hyungwon, I.M, Brother Su, and Kim Eung-ju.

*2 seconds into song* “OH HELLLL YAAAAH!” YESSS! I really enjoyed your reactions and thoughts about the MV. When you mentioned that Minhyuk won, I kinda thought too the way the video is shot it looks like Minhyuk is capturing all of the members to him.

I love this song! It has unusual structure, and the chorus (that many don't like), it's not ordinary and suits this song! And mv is very stylish!

I can only IMAGINE how this comeback would have been with it's leader on the floor... but I honestly feel this was as excellent as it is BECAUSE the 5 are out to make Shownu proud af and to prove to the doubters and haters that they are INDEED a force in the industry.... because EACH and EVERY ONE of them are powerhouse, all-rounders in their own right. Monbebe FO LIFE!

The chains set is all CG by the way 🤯

I was so excited waiting for this review!! Monsta X came with everything this year

It's surprising to learn that none of the members were on this title other than lyrics! Just 4 of the b-sides were done by Jooheon, I.M or Hyungwon

I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEOOOOOO

PD out here dressed like after this vid he has to go wrangle the cattle before the coyotes get them lmao (jk obviously, that jacket kinda goes hard)

Thank you for your reactions to Monsta X music videos. It's really great hearing you discuss the musical/visual techniques used and how they relate to themes within the song. Seeing the hard work that goes into their music video explained by someone who knows and appreciates the artistry is so satisfying. Thanks again, so glad you enjoyed it!!

so good. SO GOOD. they just dont miss

I'm loving to see PD becoming a huge monbebe :) makes me happy. of course i agree to every word. MONSTA X 4EVAH and FTW.

PD's outfit works with the song's tune. Literally wearing leather

This song is absolute fire! Honestly, one of MonstaX's best!

PD, I was looking forward for your reaction, because you know a lot and pay attention to details in MV production, aside the musical side! I was sure that you would like this MV a lot!. If you listen to Reason Minialbum, you will be amazed, particularly with Crescendo! You will see! Thank you!

Monsta X always brings the most amazing music. So proud of Jooheon 🤍

Monsta X just keeps getting better and better, you're so right about that!

I don't get how they manage to keep making such bangers, not only for their titles but the entire mini album is incredible

I've almost been more excited for this reaction than for the actual MV haha. This song is so fire.

Defo their golden age. They are indeed flexing how good they are atp. We love them for that. The music video directors/editors are definitely had fun and did their thing in this output. The transitions are so smooth. 🔥

Yes to everything, this is top 3 MV of Monsta X

This album is SO GOOD

Gracias por reaccionar a Monsta X. Por favor sigue apoyándolos

PD you always put into words everything that I love about Monsta X You're going to LOVE the entire album

Really this song, this mv and everything in it leaves us speechless. They always outdo each other with each comeback. Thank you for reacting, I'm really glad you like it 😍

Hey PD Jooheon went on Lee Mujin service!!!! You're gonna FREAK OUT

I've been holding on to Beautiful & Jealousy as my favorite MX songs for years now......but Beautiful Lie has finally beaten them to be my #1. 🏆 My only complaint is that I wish there was a little something _more_ at the end. Not another full chorus, but maybe an outro - just 10 or 15 more seconds to make the song feel complete & fulfilling. I agree that the song reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on, but it still totally feels authentic to MX.

B-sides are sooo lit too

I was waiting for you to go crazy over the mv!!! Thank you for making this video

Your reactions have always been my second most anticipated thing during a monsta x comeback! None of my kpop-enjoying friends could ever appreciate the artistry (as well as go crazy over their bias) as good as PD😂 also watching along with you helps me collect my thoughts and appreciate the little details more

Monsta X, legends only

When the song/MV came out I was waiting for you to see this. I agree it's one of the best videos they have, but I'm still so in love with Gambler and Who do you Love that I just can't pick. Thanx for the reaction.

I was hoping you'd react to this one!!! So happy that you did. Thank you for all the attention and hard work you put into not just the Beautiful Liar MV but into all the content you share on your platforms. I can't afford patreon right now but if it's not too much to ask what is your ranking of the songs in the mini album? I hope you share that at some point, I'd love to know what you think of the b-sides as well!

I agree! I think they have hit their golden Era and I am so excited.

BEST PERFORMERS. THATS IT.

First: I've been waiting for your reaction to this!!! Loved it! Second: The "what's happening Minhyuk?" was literally all of us 😂

Need to join patreon now so i can watch your album reaction for Monsta X! 🥰

JUST SUBBED TO YOUR PATREON I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE FINALLY DOING MX RAY AHHHHH

The song is such a BOP. Even SF9 released their CB around the same time and Puzzle is also incredibly awesome ✨✨ This year has already got some amazing releases

Each Monsta x's comeback won't be complete without your reaction. Thank you for your kind word for Monsta x as always😊

Now I'm just thinking how even more astronomical their comeback would be once our oldest hyungs is back in three months LIKEEEEE I can't even imagine dear God I feel like no one would be able to survive

I'm honestly in love with this comeback. This is too good to be true. At first I had very little expectations because besides Kihyun's EPs the last MX's albums did not vibe with me so much. The same thing happened to me with Ateez Guerrilla album. Loved the title but the bsides weren't my cup of tea (still in awe with Answer and Inception era). I'm delighted to say that this time it's different and both groups served a hot and crazy good meal (Hala hala halaziaa). In this case I'm happy each MX member had its time to shine with stunning vocals, visuals and choreo. I.M devoured this song with his rap, Hyungwon and Minhyuk voices really stood out to me the most, Kihyun and Jooheon reached another level of badass and confidence. Love the fact that they broke the classic MX song structures like for example the way Minhyuk started the chorus and the Kihyun continued it and the way they made the beat. Wow!!! I feel overall they're back with another flavour of determination.

We miss u&Monsta X

The Quality and Duality of Monsta X is 🔥

idk monsta x has a lot of music videos that are really cool artistically like follow and fantasia come to mind immediately but this one is definitely good!!!

Monsta X kings 👑👑👑👑👑👑

the song is soooo amazing 🔥

I'll be honest I haven't really listened to Monsta X much the past couple years (mostly I listened to them pre-2019) but mostly up til Follow. But I decided to listen to this comeback and I loooooove it. Gonna have to go back and check out the comebacks I've missed now for sure!

Yes PD I was stunned too :)

I've been waiting for this!! thank you for the reaction

There are people that don´t like Monsta X...like can you imagine? There are people that hate these men and say they are not known HA! so crazy to me

I've been waiting for you since the MV dropped

Thank you for the reaction . As always . Very detailed and energetic. I’m so proud of Monsta X. Their musical growth is just keep surprising me . ♥️🔥

Best one yet! Top three! I have to wonder if Alligator is still up there with the top videos for PD. I hope it is lol. I personally don’t feel like their newer stuff is any better or worse than their older stuff. It’s all just always DIFFERENT, while at the same time being consistently their color. Maybe that’s just because I’m not watching their videos with as critical of an eye, but that’s how I feel. I’m always blown away regardless of when in time we are lol.

I can’t even describe HOW MIND BLOWN I AM 😭😭😭 everything was so amazing it kind of reminded me of their rush hour combined with spotlight and their beautiful era?! I LIVE AND LOVVVE

I got flashbacks to 2nd gen for some reason, which is my favorite kpop era and omggggggg. I wanted this song to last sooo much longer and have a big drop, but it never came - yet the song is so hypnoticing. That is amazing. One of my favorite beats in a long time, the looks are the best I have seen from them and it got me wanting more.

been waiting for this reaction

Long time Army here who recently just started watching mostax. They r good!

Hiiiiiii...love your reaction to my men.... the song ... another masterpiece!!!!!!!!! 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰

Estoy muy enamorada de Beautiful liar. Monsta X don grandes artistas. Los admiro y amo. Ellos producen no son productos

yesss!! its here!! mon x!

I’m so happy Monsta X keep releasing music. Kpop industry should be grateful that groups like MX, Seventeen, NCT and ATEEZ still release music

they are truly in their golden age era

I totally agree with your that Monsta X are in their golden age!! Their songs and b-sides are incredible good!!

I'm always proud to be a monbebe. You can really feel Monsta X members put their heart and soul into the art they make

Been looking forward to your reaction❤❤❤❤
