Take a look at how fans are reacting to the Like Crazy music video:
In an interview with Rolling Stone, BTS's Jimin also discussed the real inspiration behind his Like Crazy music video. The 2011 American romantic film Like Crazy served as his inspiration. After watching the film, he anticipated it to be sweet, but he was surprised to find that it was heavily influenced by the dark reality and depiction of a breakup.
The idol further revealed:
“When we were talking about the main track, this movie suddenly came to my mind and I thought it would fit well with the kind of song they wanted to make”
The idol watched the movie again and incorporated different parts of the film as inspiration into his song.
ARMYs previously guessed that the film Like Crazy would inspire his upcoming album FACE and its main track from the letter he sent to his fans previously. They were elated to see short dialogs from the films at the beginning and end of the track.
Fans were also delighted at the fact that the idol was able to convey what he wanted through his Like Crazy song. Meanwhile, director of the film Drake Doremus also reposted Jimin’s letter when he talked about the movie that inspired his song and Like Crazy music video.
The idol also revealed that he attempted to use the dance in the Like Crazy music video to convey the emotions he had after seeing the film. He said he was worried about how the fans would react as he showcased ambiguous and subtle emotions in a sexy way.
