Textual analysis of Because I'm Stupid-SS501 boys over flowers ost

This music video is a example of a narrative and concept music video as the song and video were created for the drama Boys Over Flowers and is used as part of the Ost.

The music video is made up of various scenes from the drama to demonstrate the love triangle between the 3 main characters which is stereotypical in Korean dramas and Ost music videos.

The beginning shows a close up of one of the males called Jihoo who is involved in the love triangle playing the violin as the main girl Jandi first see's him, hinting to the audience that this will be a important pat to the drama. Later on there is a close up of the 4 main boys walking through the school however there is only a close up on the two main boys involved with the love triangle as Jandi watches. The 4 boys are meant to be "flower boys" which is known in Korea for being extremely good looking and this is used to gratify the female audience who is the main target audience.

For half of the music video it then shows scenes representing the love that will occur between Jihoo and Jandi which is a much more romantic side. She is seen clutching the handkerchief he used to clean her face when she was attacked, signifying that she will have strong feelings for this character. The lyrics of the song match the scenes as at one point the lyrics say " only you, i looked only at you, i'm making memories alone" which is when Jihoo is in his house alone and depressed suggesting that their will be difficulties for the two.

The other half of the music video is dedicated to the love between Junpyo and Jandi showing the different love between them compared to that she has with Jihoo. As the lyrics "Even though i cannot hold you lie this, I need you I cannot say any more then this i need you,I keep hoping i'll keep hoping " are heard there is a scene between Jihoo and Jandi with them hugging as she cries and he then kisses her, however the Junpyo then see's and a small fight breaks out between the two suggesting to the audience there will be lots of difficulties for all 3 of the characters and lots of rivalry to gain the audiences interests to watching the drama. The music video ends by repeating the end scene suggesting that it is important to the drama or that the drama is like a cycle.

The characters are all in high school which is represented by the mise en scene of the location and the school uniform that is often scene worn by Jandi.
