Amazing/Favourite Intros! ▶️

It ticks ALL my boxes, its stunning in a dark fairytale way. All the vintage shots, the writing on the butterfly, the paper, the butterflies. Not to mention, I just love the stop-motion animation thats used to introduce the two characters after the opening credits in the first episode, it makes it childlike, with a coraline vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pxT89PwG60

NETFLIX INTRO VERSION. The James Bond influence here yessss- pipes, falling figures!! And the fire, the crowd, the rose, burning skull, the innocent female lead... I'm loving the dark, destructive theme going on! The music, just adds to the dark pace! https://www.netflix.com/watch/80214017?trackId=200257859

I'm a sucker for darker visuals and exciting music...but this was pretty and I loved loved the fantasy sky and cityscape sequences... being very, very, very picky the music felt very lullabye-ish which I felt put me to sleep before the drama. But I loved this one :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQxLKMF3jbc

The bass in this is Uh-mazing. Clearly the beginning sequence is a game- pawns, a commentary on war/politics almost to the point where the mysterious shadowy figures become symbols for the lives lost and the magical theme in this show. Nice contrast of ice/blood, the shattering of the board and the collapsing horse into blood? It's honestly amazing visuals. Also CHECK OUT the haunting military OST at the end of each episode( min 44.50  here) I'm sold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujP5M6RYg4g&list=PLRBClVey5BqxQGDM7Rbgw3DDZN5LAmqTU

How these characters were standing so unnaturally still, the slight feel of traditional paintings and that traditional melody... yas!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr_R9s7gMgk

NETFLIX INTRO VERSION Just beautiful, amazing shots, transitions, decent cgi, the level of detail. I love how individual this is-nowhere else would you find floating golden roses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf17bu4I83k

I think it was this one (recommended to me) ... The Hero Yoshihiko and the key of evil spirits- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-My59fGvoM  I can't quite find the word for it... like a fashion poster- pop art, collage hybrid? Love it.

I don't know, something about the contrasting grey palette... and the amazing music change halfway!! https://www.youtube.com/watch v=mIERwdf6wV8&list=PLZWDzHN6IT5BjDaoSNfuZ7LX_IXKQ4-94&index=40

Short, kind of modern music for what the show's about... but I'm loving the heaviness and hype. The desolate fantasy field and contrasting battlefields, the long deserted...walkway with the wind blowing and the day changing... and the mysterious figure at the end?? Too short.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLVCKPa6zIo

Amazing haunting music paired with stark contrasting colours- black, red and un-natural slightly moving illustrations at the beginning. I love the use of fluidity here with ribbons and swirly colours... thanks for the rec. guys!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHnqMruxjws

Music could have been a tad more, well there... but it fits the tone, the shots are cool and unusual and it works... love the sombre colours with the crown/red and the zombie :) also all the smoke was so beautiful.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ8baO3_CK4

The Symbolism!!- Netflix version, the writhing skies (up means God guys, so god=angry?) panning down to the floating black church, with hands reaching forward. Then the hands traditionally represents Gods helping hands, but made creepy because its like they're reaching towards the viewer scaring the birds away, so probably not god...... literally every scene has meaning and foreshadowing, with creepy minimalistic music and muted palette... and that's an essay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6OdatMxuTM

The hands, people blended with landscapes, the ominous gothic music... SO PRETTY!! But there seemed to be so much repetitive white space, there was an almost blank atmosphere/feeling at times...  https://www.netflix.com/watch/81093184?trackId=200257859

I remember really loving this music.. also ink blots, way overused but works for disintegrating figures/reveal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlpN7alAnzA

NETFLIX INTRO VERSION... Here because the butterfly shots are beautiful. Also I'm starting to notice, Kdramas gave a thing for butterflies & clocks. They are the equivalent of Chinese ink blots. https://www.netflix.com/watch/80145362?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C0%2C1e9fd316-bbba-4fad-9ac8-e0f7f2a86d21-576679375%2C455db1bc231bd64726f22812d453f43f35241b9d%3Af2bef5030be4b70ae654e577c54a899c0acc4249%2C%2C

Mainly the beginning of it... the stylishly vintage-y feel- black/white, the heels, the spotlight like in old spy films, and the trumpets! It's so different and refreshing from other intros, and also fits the time period the drama is set in. How fragmented and covered it is adds to the mystery. Also the moth. I don't know why I like this one so much, it's honestly like a lot of dramas.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn_Xwwz5-BQ&list=PLTB73Ibi_X3GD14Doc2knYyhsavROx6rB

Just the whole merging of different components to make a fluid, continually panning intro... kind of like yanxi with the still figures.. the merged arrows/trees transition are coool, also has a few moving elements that contrast nicely with the stillness...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCsW_im_Bvw

Not the scenes, though some were pretty... I can't wish it was a bit more creative (though yes, I do love the landscape shots)... The music makes it for me though... ahhhh its so soothing, but also builds up for the episode somehow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZvZkB4tFMc
