    RM does knocks it out the park

    First of all, debuting your documentary at Busan International Film Festival is incredible. Wouldn't be surprised if more idols start attempting to do this. But the film itself is wonderful. Definitely one that will be loved by all once it makes it's worldwide release. There's so much real and authenticity, which we've seen from RM before, but it's more raw this time. You do go through all the highs and lows with your emotions but it's very satisfying at the end, to have seen the end result. I am proud of what RM has achieved, especially in a short time of 9 months of filming, editing, promoting and showcasing.

    It was a beautiful experience

    I watched the documentary and it pleasantly surprised me. It led me to admire him, respect him. It's not the typical portrait of an idol full of ostentation, dances, and catchy songs. It's a more human work that goes beyond, showing the fragile and vulnerable side of a person like any of us. Kim Namjoon has the ability to make you reflect. It's a kind of therapy, much more than a superficial idol. It leads you to admire him not only as an artist, but also as a human being. It's a profound experience that feels like a conversation with a good friend. Now I understand why so many people connect with his music and with him. I highly recommend that you watch the documentary; you won't regret it, it's really worth it.

    Deep dive into RM's second solo album process

    This was a really fascinating look into the whole journey of how RM created his second album. His creativity seems off the charts with exploring different musical genres and working with various musicians and producers. I love that he formed a Team RM to help him through the project - they looked like they were having so much fun throughout the whole process. Seeing and hearing the backstories to the music, the lyrics, the music videos, but especially the filming process to document the project was so interesting. I loved the director's decision to have filmed portions in 16mm and Super 8. The juxtaposition of the "old-timey" and often out-of-focus looking footage with the modern footage was really cool, even though you know the whole thing was shot over 8 or 9 months.

    Namjoon's RPWP is so soulful

    RPWP is more than just a documentary-it's a profound journey into RM's artistic world, his soul, and the stories behind his music. Watching it was an indescribable experience, one that left me feeling deeply moved, inspired, and incredibly fulfilled. RM has always been an artist who connects on a personal level, and this documentary is a shining testament to his genius and authenticity.

    The film dives into RM's creative process, exploring the making of the *RPWP* album and the emotions that shaped it. The concept of "right people, wrong place" is so relatable, and through this lens, RM takes us on a journey that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. The way he weaves themes of longing, connection, and introspection into his music is pure brilliance. Watching this, I felt as if RM was speaking directly to my heart, voicing thoughts I didn't even know I had.

    The documentary's pacing is perfect, blending moments of calm reflection with dynamic studio sessions and vibrant interactions with collaborators. Each segment offers something new-a glimpse of RM's introspective nature, his passion for perfection, and his unwavering commitment to his craft. His reflections on life and relationships are particularly powerful, making you ponder your own experiences and the people who have shaped you.

    The songs from *RPWP* are the soul of this documentary. Each track feels like a masterpiece, intricately crafted with poetic lyrics and mesmerizing melodies. RM's ability to capture complex emotions in his music is unmatched, and the documentary allows us to witness the raw emotions and tireless effort behind every note and word. From haunting ballads to rhythmic bops, the album is a testament to RM's versatility and depth as an artist.

    One of the most striking elements of the documentary is its cinematography. The visuals are stunning, from serene landscapes to the cozy studio spaces where the magic happens. These visuals perfectly complement the themes of the album and create a dreamlike atmosphere that immerses you completely. It felt like I was traveling through RM's mind, experiencing his inspirations and thoughts firsthand.

    What makes this documentary so special is RM's vulnerability. He opens up about his struggles with navigating fame, his search for meaning, and his desire to create art that truly matters. His honesty is refreshing, and it's impossible not to admire his humility and authenticity. RM isn't just an artist; he's a thinker, a storyteller, and a human being who's unafraid to share his truths.

    The collaborations featured in *RPWP* are another highlight. Seeing RM interact with other artists, exchanging ideas and building something extraordinary, is a joy to watch. It's a reminder of how art thrives on connection and mutual respect. Every collaboration feels organic and adds a unique dimension to the album.

    Watching *"RPWP"* was an emotional rollercoaster in the best way possible. It made me reflect, laugh, and even shed a few tears. RM's artistry is a gift to the world, and this documentary captures the essence of his music and vision so beautifully.

    If you're a fan of RM, BTS, or simply someone who appreciates meaningful art, this documentary is a must-watch. It's a celebration of creativity, humanity, and the universal experiences that bind us all.

    In the end, *RPWP* isn't just an album or a documentary-it's a testament to the power of music to heal, connect, and inspire. Thank you, RM, for sharing this incredible journey with us. You've created something timeless, and I feel so grateful to have experienced it.

    This documentary is a timeless human journey

    RM: Right People Wrong Place is the best documentary I ever watched. Accompanying Namjoon in his wonderful journey is like a remedy for soul. The way you can feel every words of him and know that you are not alone. Namjoon can simply touch your heart and your soul without even trying. Riding a roller coaster of emotions with him while we are apart by oceans, was one of the the most wonderful experience of my life. Namjoon is like a philosopher and a great story teller who you want to listen to his story for the rest of your life. Thank you Namjoon and Team RM for sharing this storyπŸ’™πŸ’™ The production, the sound, the music,.. all were perfect. I will rewatch it again and again when it is released in streaming platformsπŸ’™πŸ’™
