Kingdom: Legendary War, Ep3

Hello – hello my little faces. I just watched the 3rd episode of Kingdom: Legendary War and I have only one word to express myself… WOW! That episode was insane!!!

On this episode we saw the second half of ROUND 1 in which the last three groups performed, so the episode was a little more focused on them.

Stray Kids Picks Which Member's Traits They Want, Group Goals For 2020, And  More - KpopHit - KPOP HIT

The 4th group who performed was the winner of INTRO STAGE, Stray Kids. After a meeting with the company’s staff, they decided to perform a mash-up of their songs “Side effects” and “God’s menu”. 2PM‘s WooYoung did a cameo when he went to their studio and tried to help them and give them some advice. The stage turned into a small maze from which the members were trying to escape while their dancers were trying to control them. After a small “battle” they managed to take the lead and control their dancers instead. It was for real a great performance with excellent choreo and stage presence.!

The 5th group that was chosen to perform in that order by Stray Kids was ATEEZ. Having ranked 5th on the INTRO STAGE the group made a promise to themselves to do it better on ROUND 1. They chose to perform their song “Wonderland” since it’s the one with the most anthem vibe on it. Their concept ( as you can imagine if you’re an ATINY ) was pirates. Hongjoong ( their leader ) spend the whole night watching Pirates of Caribean, to come up with more ideas. They used their producer’s help, EDEN, to mix up “From the new world” by Dvorak and they literally released a freaking Kraken on the stage! Between their rehearsals, some members filming on a kdrama and their comeback, they manage to do it all perfectly! Having the pirates theme for some time now gave them the opportunity to use some props that they already had from stages and mvs and they gave us a performance that left everyone with their mouths open.

Last, but not least was SF9. They chose to perform “Now or Never”. They did a few changes, they include some orchestra and they renamed into “Jealous” in order to fit into their theme about them being narcissistic. Members’ schedules were all so difficult because most of them have some other self-projects as well, filming on kdramas or doing musicals in theater but they managed to find time to practice altogether ( even if it was late at night ). Through one of the rehearsals though Jaeyoon hurt his knee but in the end, he performed the choreo as a professional. Even if they didn’t have a lot of time, they got injured and they panicked that they will not make it, their show was beautiful! They show us how they “lost their souls” because of their narcissism and I think that they include the story from the book “Perfume” making everyone fall in love with them. As iKON‘s Bobby said, they were like royals!

After all the performances ended, it was time to announce the results from “experts evaluation” and “groups evaluation”. Experts, vote ATEEZ for the first place and the group kept this place and on groups evaluation as well with the final results to be:

1st ATEEZ
2nd Stray Kids
3rd The Boyz
4th BTOB
5th iKON
6th SF9.

Will those results change with the global voting though? We’ll have to wait and see.

One of the highlights of the episode although ( at least for me ) was while ATEEZ‘s performance, when iKON‘s Bobby lost it when Seonghwa ‘killed’ the Kraken. Bobby, it’s ok… We all had the same reaction my friend.

All of them were so damn good but ATEEZ‘s performance for me was the best and not only from those three but from all of them on this ROUND. Some of you may know that it’s also my favorite group, I never denied it, but I promised myself to try to be objective. I don’t know if it’s working or my heart chooses here but THEY KILLED IT and I couldn’t be more proud.!

** WARNING **
Any kind of hate for any of the groups or their fandoms will not be acceptable here.!

Until next time…
