This was Super Junior’s repackaged album/single that was released a long time ago. Like seriously, you know that old song called Sexy Free & Single? Okay, so yeah, it has been a long time, but I have been lacking in the amount of reviews. But hey, the summer holidays are 3 weeks away for me, and I am ready to sit down and type up a whole heap of reviews just for you guys! Now onto the review, that was meant to be done ages ago!

The song is quite deceiving. As soon as I saw the spy concept of the song, I thought the song would be something alongside of Hoot by SNSD or something like James Bond. But boy, was I surprised with something that seemed quite childish. It is not the best Super Junior song out there and to me, it happens to be one the of worst songs ever by Super Junior. It just did not fit the image which Super Junior has, and after releasing a song that was pretty damn good, I was really disappointed. It showcased a weird side in Super Junior’s vocals and raps. The only thing I am happy with is that mostly everyone got some part in the song to sing, regardless if they were an A Grade singer or A Grade rapper. Though, I still think the song depends too much on Kyuhyun and Donghae. I don’t know if they stand out to me, but the other members don’t really have a place to shine. The instrumental just was not right and really high pitch is something Super Junior should not attempt at all.

Okay, onto the music video. It is definitely a rip of James Bond, with the multiple CG effects and also the really annoying slow motion cameras. It makes James Bond look really good, and I really hate the James Bond movie franchise. They are all Spy like which is good, but seriously, going underneath ladies legs really is not the best thing to do. Like come on, it is not meant to be some erotic story. It is like the sequel of the computer effects we had in A-Cha last year. The really big set seemed okay, but the small set seemed quite fake and really, not a high quality Super Junior music video we should’ve gotten.

The dance reflects the song quite well. I really like the chorography at rap sequence and the dance does mimic spy movements and guns like this. So criticisms here.

Ah wow. I think, that this should never be attempted ever again. One of the worst songs by Super Junior to date at this very moment. 5.33/10,

Have Fun Watching! 😀
