         For days I was fixed like this when I heard VIXX was coming up with a subunit that had Ravi and Leo in it...
If that wasn't bad enough for my health, I accidentally saw the teaser images

Wae bae, wae bea, wae! Huh? Wae you do this, huh?

I just had to see the music video.

             But quite frankly though, the music video blew my mind, it was so so beautifully shot, I fell in love in the music video, that I just had to put it up here for all of you to see exactly what this music video is actually about. So hit play and watch the scenes with me. Chinguduels!

Leo is sitting all alone, cho swad, cheo chweet, cho kiyute! What is the problem?

Poparoo! The problem is this wedding invitation.

 What? How? You ask? Well getting invited to a wedding is cute and all but what outfit do you wear when the invitation comes with a dry plant attached to it? I guess the people want the guests to dress in shades of dried up lavenders….if that is a shade at all,…. Which is not a colour Leo and that Yeoja have in their wardrobe, ergo they are sad….

So sad, so sad Imma throw clothes down! So sad so sad, Imma show my thigh ma!

While the Yeoja tries her own methods to clam herself down, Leo tries to block all the bad zen and wasteful chi from his surroundings and goes into deep concentration mode while mildly mumbling over his mistake of perhaps buying too many mirrors.

while in this mode, Leo comes up with an idea of borrowing clothes for the wedding rather than buying new and wasting cash on them. Leo can think of only one person who's colour palate and clothing choice would adhere to both his and the Yeoja's (who wears white canvas shoes with a dress) style... 

Wasting no time at all Leo tries to call Ravi who is in the midst of a very important photo shoot!

LOOKIN GOOD AS ALWAYS! YEY! 

Anyways, so after the invigorating photo shoot, the two try to bring together their inner zen and come to a sort of agreement.

To get on the good side of Ravi, Leo even goes to the extent of serenading him with a song that talks of Ravi's beautiful clothes, his perfect hair, his voice and every other thing that makes him beautiful.

Smitten by the efforts, Ravi agrees to lend Leo and the Yeoja some violet clothes but there is something Leo must give in return.. Ravi asks Leo to let go of the Yeoja and join him on his tour around Korea where he will spread music and love to all. Leo is indecisive and goes home caught between matters.

Leo slowly feels inner conflict and what proceeds is a series of indecisiveness on the part of Leo which leads to pain and hurt on others! I couldn't find the Gifs for these so I am afraid you will have to make do with the pictures. 

Do I chose freedom or Love? Leo ponders.

Leo's imagination conjures up images of Ravi possibly overtaking the Yeoja. YOU GO BOY!

The Yeoja finally steps up to the podium and decides to take matter into her own hands, She offers Leo an ultimatum - the Keys to her heart!

Yeah, that's right keys.

Leo stutters and actually considers talking the keys... it is better to be miserable with someone than be happy alone.  

what?

Unless, you actually considered that a mild possibility.

But that doesn't happen here!

Ravi snatches up the keys and gives a glare at the Yeoja.

"Well, two can play that game" his eyes tell her.

While Ravi tries to be the middle man between the two, trying to salvage what little is left of this possible relationship, Yeoja realizes she is no match for Ravi's charm and makes a dash for it.

Ashamed on behalf of his male friend. Ravi calls out to the woman asking her to be a man and face him. Leo knows fully well that this is the end and stops Ravi from going after her.

What happens afterwards is a ritualistic dance performed by the two by the beach to commemorate their new found friendship A.K.A the bachelor life together

Once the ceremony is over, Leo tries to grasp a hold of his new found reality by tickling the ivories. Ravi decides to tell Leo something he didn't tell him before.

"The agreement was a lie. I made it up so you could break away and be free. Now fly my child!"

Unable to understand the concept of freedom and confusing it with the though of being alone in the world, Leo becomes obsessive and desperately tries to cling on to Ravi, which happens to be my favourite scene in the music video.

Don't mind if I do....

In a rather sad ending, Ravi tells Leo that he has to deal with himself alone in this world just like everybody else........ *Sniff sniff*

Ravi leaves... 

and Leo looks around and then looks at us in a accusing manner......

YOU ARE ALL LIARS! DECEIVERS! ALL SUCH BEAUTIFUL LIARS! AND I AM COWARD FOR HIDING BEHIND ONE!

and that is how the music video comes to an end.

I absolutely love this music video! is there a music video which you like? let us know.

Moving along I wanted to add what I wrote about the album in the Koreanation website:

The titular song “Beautiful Liar” is composed by Ravi, as are “Remember” and “Ghost”. Leo composed “Words to Say” and “My Light”. Both members also wrote lyrics for all the songs. The title song has ‘Beautiful Liar’ is a song about lying to one’s beloved in a bid to break apart from one another. The song goes on to explain that this white lie is only for the lady’s good- for her to live a better life without this man. The song is heart wrecking and Leo’s vocal and Ravi’s rap adds depth and dimension to the song.

This song best stands as an example of their excellent lyrical skills and vocals. The song is addictive for all the good reasons. ‘Remember’ begins with Leo’s whisper like singing with leads to a burst of beats with Ravi’s raps. The song is a perfect culmination of the two artists as the tracks beautifully blends the better of the two together. Leo borrow the spotlight for some alone time in the third track ‘Speechless’. The track has a powerful chorus line which swings back and forth with the melody. The subtle piano tunes balanced on a heavy beat give this track a tension that is gripping.

Following Leo, Ravi delivers a solo with ‘Ghost’. Ravi’s song is true to his group as the song has a haunting melody and speedy drum beat. Ravi delivers, or in modern terms, slays. His track oozes with personality and swag that the song could easily fit into anyone’s taste. Leo and Ravi come together for the last track ‘My Light’ which brightens up the mood with its rather cheery intro and peppy lyrics. The song is a great way to wrap up the album on a light and happy mood. This album which best exhibits the duo and all they are known for.
