IU — "Love Wins All" Official MV

I have never had this many tears run uncontrollably down my face from watching a music video. I went into this without any expectations, without reading any commentary or spoilers, and this ended up being the most beautifully heartbreaking short film I've ever seen. I don't listen to a lot of IU's music, but I've always appreciated her as a singer-songwriter and as an actress (Hotel del Luna remains one of my favourite K-dramas of all time), and this MV really showcases her impeccable skills at both. Her unexpectedly spectacular chemistry with V, who shows off his acting chops again after an 8-year hiatus since 2016's Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth, also somehow surpasses the majority of couples I've watched in dramas. This is truly a 5-minute cinematic masterpiece, and if there was a category in the Academy Awards for music videos, this would undoubtedly win.
