Crush ft. IU ‘Seesaw’ (삐그덕) MV Review: Crush and IU’s ‘Seesaw’ (삐그덕) uses colours that make the MV fun to watch. Blue, orange and violet constantly take over the screen, putting forward the magic for us to perhaps interpret. The video gets a very particular look without making it feel too packed; it is pretty, but there is also a little uncertainty in all those lights.
The song plays with the idea of “being in love”, two people finding their way towards each other and figuring out how to move in the same space. The music video does not have an elaborate setting but spaces filled with coloured lights, a merry-go-round, and the two people, giving the song its own visual personality. But there is an ending… one that suddenly shifts the mood!
Crush ft. IU ‘Seesaw’ (삐그덕) MV Review: A Colour Palette That Knows What It Is Doing
The first thing that drew my attention is the lighting. Blue, orange and violet form the core visual palette and the three work together well. Blue brings in a sense of calm and trust, violet adds a slightly dreamy, imaginative quality to the love song, while orange gives the visuals their playfulness and the visuals back these. Nothing feels out of place even when the video shifts between the moods.
The blue and violet render a somewhat softer, more fantasy quality, and the orange interrupts the softness, adding a sense of contrast that makes the frames feel lively. The music video feels carefully put together without losing the fun of watching the two artists perform a song about love. Basically, the colours do not simply make the video look attractive, but rather suit the song’s mood, giving it warmth, a little fantasy and enough playfulness to contrast the visuals and not let them feel flat.
From Performance, The MV Turns Personal
‘Seesaw’ (삐그덕) begins with a performance-oriented setup, but the video does not remain there for the entire duration of the song. In a little more than a minute, it gets into storytelling, introducing visuals and colours. There is an emphasis on the two being close, on spending time together and on the simple idea of moving forward side by side at the same pace.
The MV does not make the relationship look grand or dramatic; instead, the visuals suggest two people learning each other’s pace and taking things step by step while looking forward to the days they might spend together.
A Merry-Go-Round, Two People, And The Fantasy Created
The merry-go-round sequence is one of the more interesting visual choices because it pushes the video a little more into the fantasy. This sequence introduces a different kind of setting while keeping the tone right on point. There is playfulness in the choice, and it fits the song’s approach to love.
The visuals are interested in the two people being together face to face, sharing a moment and finding their rhythm. The merry-go-round adds to the feeling without making the video feel like a different song and spaces out the video better. The idea of moving forward together, one step at a time, runs through these particular moments. The video does not outrightly spill out everything: the closeness between the two, along with the settings chosen for them, does enough to support the song’s romantic premise.
The Ending Changes the Mood
At the end of the MV, the woman disappears into darkness, leaving the man sitting alone on the swing. After all the colourful lighting, playful setting, and the scenes centred on the two being together, the ending is noticeably different. It is a simple choice, but it changes how the preceding visuals feel.
Till this moment, the video spent its time building a romantic atmosphere through colour and shared moments, but there is a separation. The man is left by himself, and the absence becomes the focus of the final sequence. The ending also introduces a little uncertainty into the earlier playful video. The final sequence leaves the viewer with two people who are no longer sharing the same space, and the contrast is noticeable without lengthy explanation.
Final Verdict: A Romantic MV With Bittersweet Finish
Crush and IU’s ‘Seesaw’ makes use of the colours blue, orange and violet, giving the music video a colourful identity that suits the romantic mood. The studio performance scenes, shift to storytelling, and the merry-go-round keep the visuals engaging, while the focus on the two finding rhythm together gives the video its emotional thread.
The ending gives the experience an emotional finale, and the woman disappearing into darkness and the man remaining alone on the swing introduce a contrast that lingers beyond the final scene. It is a music video that knows how to have fun with colours and setup, even if the final moment leaves things feeling less straightforward than they started, and the shift in the ending makes viewers sit with it.
