Favourite Artist/Band: this is unfairly hard, but at the minute CIX (and the Tilly birds always)
Last Movie: The uncharted movie.. it was my brother's pick for a family movie night
Last Show: the last completed show I watched was Love Mechanics and currently airing the last episode I watched was The Eclipse
When I created this blog: 2012, the year I started university and I've been here for the last decade ( no escape at this point)
What I post: Mainly reblogs of the shows I'm currently watching or shows I'll forever be obsessed with, veeeeery occasionally I'll post my thoughts or writing
Other blogs: I really only had sideblogs to keep URLs that I've had previously in case I want to use them again, but I just run this blog into the ground by having every current obsession in the one place
Do I get asks: really only when I reblog ask games and my mutuals send me asks, but not out of the blue ones even though I love talking to people about shows I love ( ask box is always open and I swear I'm nice)
Average hours of sleep: around 7-8 hours, my body naturally wakes me up after that ( I haven't set an alarm in over 2 years now)
What I'm wearing: PJ's ( it's a work from home day so I'm being comfy 😂😂)
Dream job: I want to write, but I don't see it being a fulfilling career for me, as long as I can write in my spare time, I'm happy
Dream trip: Japan and Korea ( which is hopefully happening in a couple of years when I turn 30)
Favourite songs:
- Just being Friendly- The Tilly Birds
- Numb- CIX
- Pied Piper- BTS ( I had to include them it's iconic)
-Lazy- Woosung
I mean we could be hear all day so I'll spare you, but I also love instrumental movie soundtracks as well.

Full CIX Storyline Explained - Part 9
CIX's Full Storyline Explained - Masterlist
458 M/V
Title: 458 is the equivalent of ILU aka I Love you
Unlike Jungle and Numb, 458 is far less explicit with its story-elements - both in visuals and lyrics which is understandable since Dante's 7 Levels of Purgatory also offer less to work with in terms of striking visuals.
To generalize, Dante's Purgatory is set up to confront sinners with the counterparts to the Seven Deadly Sins, aka the Seven Virtues. Unlike Hell which was very much based on sinful actions, the sins here are more character-based and making it through all of Purgatory is meant to basically cleanse the soul so it can enter Heaven.
Early on in the MV, we get a glimpse of an Angel which could be Beatrice - a direct messenger from God who pops up throughout the entire Divine Comedy and serves as a direct communication link between Dante and God. Her job is basically to ensure the mission gets carried out fully and successfully.
Later on, we also get a quick shot of her whispering something in Hyunsuk's ear which could symbolize their first personal encounter as was the case near the end of Purgatory when she took over as Dante's personal guide.
In addition to Beatrice, a golden eagle also makes an appearance in the video with Jinyoung. As seen in the animated Trailer, within the story, Dante dreamed it was an eagle who carried him to the entry point of Purgatory.
As Dante's version of Purgatory is filled with angels meant to guide the sinners back onto the right track, we can find a lot of angel imagery throughout the MV
There's also a bunch of scrolling text on the LED boards seen in the back throughout the choreography-centered sections of the video - short phrases such as "The soul which is created quick to love", "l tempo non si perda per poco amor" (yet another excerpt from Canto 18 - the one about love and free will), "Per ardua ad astra" (through adversity to the stars), and so on
These can be seen more easily in the Behind the Scenes
We also get shots of Hyunsuk's bare back where we find words written along his spine - specifically the words "Ratto, ratto, che 'l tempo non si perda per poco amor" from Canto 18
Other shots show the members in red-and-white racing gear with the words "Luceat lux tua" printed across the front - "Let your light shine". This is a callback to Byounggon's line in What You Wanted and those same words can also be found on the official lightstick.
The suits are best seen in the MV Reaction video.
At another point, we find Byounggon in front of some fire again - an element that can be found within Dante's Purgatory as well nearing the end of the story when they encounter the Virtue of Chastity (quite funny when Byounggon's wearing a damn handcuff necklace in the shot).
This encounter takes place in the final ring of Purgatory meaning it's the last hurdle before they can finally enter Heaven. Within the story, Dante and his two companions have to walk through a freakishly hot wall of fire and, once they've made it to the other side, Dante has to say Goodbye to Virgil who'd accompanied him through all of Hell and Purgatory so he wouldn't have to suffer alone.
Toward the end of the MV, the overall tone shifts as we see a grayscale wide shot of a ginormous angel statue, kneeling, hunched over, and crying as water emerges from below its folded legs and falls off the edge of the cliff it's resting upon.
Now, I'm not sure what exactly this statue represents but we do have a lot of crying as Dante and crew walk through Eden, though it's mostly him who's first crying over Virgil and then when some angels show compassion toward him. However, we do also get a moment of Beatrice weeping which is likely to have inspired this shot.
As the members emerge from what I assume to be Eden, we can see more giant statues behind them - likely a representation of the Procession found in Canto 29 where a bunch of white-robed people are guided by a candelabra.
We end on a wide-shot of five statues facing the giant kneeling angel - one statue for each member.
They've survived Hell and Purgatory. Now it's time to enter Paradise.
