Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace EPISODE 3 - REACTION

Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace EPISODE 3 - REACTION

Comments

I wish Taemin showed a little character, and interact with the groups a little more. I'm really interested in his opinion.

Finally got around to watching the finale the other day and now here I am, returning to ep. 3, let's go! - Imma be real with you, I'm a bit tired of Kick It. That song is fucking EVERYWHERE and I've heard it way too many times at this point 😅 - How convenient for them that Ravn was on a health hiatus when they did that Kingsman video 5 years ago, otherwise the show would've had to acknowledge that a member left the group since then 🤐 - Love the Kingsman theme though, that's one of my favourite movies from the 2010's :) - „This is one of the most beautiful human beings I think I've seen“ That's Eunho from Younite! - Good stuff from Oneus. - Yeah, that's the point of the entire concept of this season. Create a performance around one central member and as long as the rest of the group doesn't become completely invisible in the Ace's shadow, it's all good imo. - The guy from The CrewOne that looks like Ten to you actually reminds me a bit of ZB1 Ricky. His name is DY (or Doyum) and he's in Just B. - ATBO is in the same company as The Boyz, so it makes sense that Juyeon would pay them a visit. - Juyeon is right. On a show like this it's not enough to make the crowd go „yea that's cool“. You need to blow their fucking minds if you want to have a chance at winning. The standards are just that high. - Not many props but the stage was FULL with choreo and performance. Some really cool moments in there! They could've made the ace stand out more I think. - I like that Hyeongjun is giving the ace role a second shot. - You haven't watched STAR WARS??? - Deja Vu was in April. Over The Moon in November. 7 months is not a huge amount of time between comebacks but also not unheard of in Kpop. The gap between Chasing That Feeling and Deja Vu was actually shorter at less than 6 months. - The TUTTING PART HOLY- - And then they're channeling their inner TVXQ? What is happening - That final shot. Gorgeous. - Cravity wins this triple battle for me and it's not even close. Before we get to the official results, here's my full ranking of all the performances from this round: 7. Tempest – Maniac Let me start by saying that none of these performances were bad. All of them did really well. However, Tempest were at a disadvantage. Their concept was very similar to what The New Six did just before them and it wasn't executed quite as well. This does unfortunately affect my subjective impression of the performance and it just wasn't that exciting or original to me compared to what the other teams did. Solid effort but their intro performance from episode 1 showed that they can do better. 6. The CrewOne – Watch It Some really cool performance moments and I like how they really filled out the whole stage with a lot of people. Sadly, there were some mistakes that dragged the whole thing down a bit. And it feels like they were trying to emulate what The Boyz did in the first season but they didn't quite hit that spot. The acrobatics and the really cool dance break save this from last place however. 5. 8Turn – Future Perfect This one was really solid. It didn't blow my mind but there were no mistakes made and they had a unique theme amongst this round. It was light on props but what they had they used well. 4. Oneus – Kick It Now we're getting into the really good shit. A very strong theme, amazing fight choreography and acrobatics! This was just excellent from start to finish. But it did still lack that special sauce to get it into the top 3. 3. The New Six – Phobia What a way to start this round. Coming in with a STATEMENT. First of all, I love the song choice. Going for a rather obscure b-side that doesn't even have an original choreo is a bold move but one that paid off. And this had all the bells, whistles and theatrics that made me go „yes, Kingdom is BACK!“ Man, that felt good to see. 2. Younite – Bite Me EUNSANG WHAT THE HELL. Talk about executing a concept to perfection. My favourite part was the silhouette sequence. My god, the artistry. If you had only seen Younite's debut MV (which was very cute and upbeat) you'd never guess that they would eventually come up with THIS. 1. Cravity – Sugar Rush Ride Flawless. Absolutely flawless. And while the idea of one member getting corrupted might seem similar to what Younite did on paper, the end result felt quite different. That tutting part was just unreal. And the explosion of performance energy in the finale! No notes, perfect score. - And here we see that the gap from 3rd to 4th place is so big, those 1000 benefit points really didn't matter anyway. - Huh, my personal ranking is actually quite similar to the official ranking. Just switch 8Turn and Tempest with each other and you got it. - I'm not gonna do a full ace ranking but for me, Eunsang of Younite stood out the most among the seven of them. - Hyeongjun screaming at Mnet is all of us 🫡 - How much time did they have between the announcement and the actual ace battle? Probably just a few minutes to get changed. All seven teams prepared an ace performance like this in advance, it's just that only Hyeongjun and Hwanwoong actually have to do it now. - I would be very interested in seeing what the other five ace performances would've been. - This battle easily goes to Hwanwoong. The core idea of contemporary dance is the same for both of them. And Hyeongjun had a sick choreo. But Hwanwoong just has zero chill and goes absolutely insane with it. The special effects! What the hell man. - Taemin's Identity is also on the same album as Idea! And SHINee have a song called Identity on their last album as well.

Aww man, did the card need to say Lose?? Couldn't it have said better luck next time or something?? 😭

Star Dust

Ok, Cravity(?), the 3rd one, is my vote! Waiting to see who gets it!!

Star Dust

Pretty sure they accidentally showed us a clip from an action movie instead of the first performance... 👀

For the ace battle... Every group had a performance prepared in case they have to battle it out.
