Big Bang’s Hallelujah makes you go from crying to laughing

IRIS

Viewers of the KBS drama IRIS go from tears to laughter while listening to Big Bang's Hallelujah OST.

On the episode that aired today, the character played by Lee Byung Hun gets shot while trying to keep his loved one safe and get revenge. Big Bang's upbeat rap song then played in this scene which made the viewers a bit confused. The other songs on the show such as Baek Ji Young's Don't Forget, Shin Seung Hoon's Love of IRIS, and Kim Tae Woo's Dreaming A Dream all share in common a sad tone and lyrics.

But it's a different story with Hallelujah. Viewers commented that it was out of place with the scene and it ruined the mood of the scene. Others said that whenever Hallelujah comes on, it seems like the drama turns into a music video and they can't see the relevance of the song to the show.



Because T.O.P. plays a big part in the drama, they must feel obligated to support his music as well but it seems like it's not helping to promote the song and the drama at all.

An example of an appropriate insert would be 2NE1's I Don't Care in episode 9 where Kim Tae Hee hums along to the song to reflect her feelings.

“it was out of place with the scene and it ruined the mood of the scene.”
True. I have to agree with that. Sorry fans.


The chorus is nice, but..
You’re falling and you’re singing Hallelujah?
Don’t understand that part at all.
Super weird!

i admit it feels out of place in such a drama
i think they shouldn’t play it during the drama except for club scenes lol
it’s a very good song though (:

 
no avatar

yeah it is pretty out of place xD
i think they should just play the songs during club scenes, it fits the atmosphere more
i love the song itself though ^^

@14 to each their own.
personally, for a person that doesn’t like action drama’s it’s really good. and not only because TOP is in it, heh.
and hey, it isn’t Big Bang’s fault that it was placed there. Even though noone’s blaming them.. lol but still, keep it in mind smile

melovekpop's avatar

the first time ever that ive agreed with netizens lol
but the song is good though it just doesnt match with the mv

 
sayuri43's avatar

the song is fine, the thing that’s ruining it is the Hallelujah. why would they even say that?!

 
floofyotter's avatar

you can’t say it doesnt fit in the drama at all cuz it does..

it fits in the parts where people are cocking their guns and getting ready to kill some people. enhances the “oh snap, they’re badass” element

wow omg they played ‘‘halleluyah’’ when they shot ppl and stuff too,hate how they cut tabis parts,sux how they film TOPs not gonna be in ep11 either seems he has to film a scene b4 it airs,any1 have the link cant see

 
thislove's avatar

Well that’s the drama editors fault.. Don’t play the song so it kills the mood. There are tons of good action scenes they could use it for instead raspberry

 
Pharadox's avatar

It actually doesn’t seem out of place to me at all. I think it fits really well. Maybe it’s just me.

 
purplehe4rt's avatar

LovingJae12's avatar

i LOVE action flicks…  but this drama just isn’t working for me. i’ll give ep3 a chance. hopefully it’s better than the previous 2 episodes

Millie's avatar

haha thats funny, but it shouldn’t matter!! 30’s% ratings are
special

 
Millie's avatar

@6 , there is no brand name of Big Bang. Big Bang is a group. They aren’t just a product.

 
XEEREEX's avatar

“Hallelujah.. I’m fallin‘ I’m fallin’ fallin‘..”
That doesn’t make sense at all.
You can’t be praising the Lord while you’re falling.
You should be saying “Help Me Lord” instead of saying “Hallelujah”

honestly!! ppl!! open your minds and literally think. do sad songs match action??? not all the time. do we need to hear a freakin’ sad song every time there’s a gun shooting? no! do i want to be depressed while watching action? no! if you don’t like it then turn the volume off. done. there needs to be some more pump it up songs. variety ppl variety! when he’s beating up someone i don’t want to hear about love or dreaming a dream… seriously grow up from your fake fantasy world. just imagine watching idk the fast and the furious and all of a sudden you hear Baek Ji Young’s Don’t Forget. thats just messed up…

 
AlmightyJaebeom's avatar

LOL the song for Iris has ” Don’t touch me, Big Bang is dynamite” xD… It somehow makes the scene like a music video LOL.

 
Lee Hanna ;)'s avatar

@25 yeah, it’s not the song or Big Bang’s fault, it was the editor’s.
Love the song btw
