[…] I was wincing immediately from the off-key “lalalala” that opens Breathe, I admit it. Almost two years of this blog and I feel like I’ve developed a sixth sense for when a song is going to fly off the rails. But, of course, eternal blind optimist I am, I still let myself have a little glimmer of hope when the pre-chorus began, because it’s honestly not bad.

And then the chorus came in and dashed all my hopes, in the greatest upset in this world since the sun rose this morning. I don’t know how I have the audacity to be surprised; I’ve heard this exact song template a dozen times (at least seven in my NCT 127 review). […]
