I'm absolutely not in love with this video

Warning: Spoilers
This one we have here is the music video for Ed Sheeran's 2017 song "Shape of You", so it is quite a new release. It runs for slightly under 4.5 minutes and was directed by Jason Koenig, who is mostly known for his collaborations with Macklemore and Lewis and maybe that's what he should focus on as very little about this Ed Sheeran video here is working out. He never felt realistic like a boxer. The lyrics are very much on the shallow side. The tune is occasionally somewhat catchy, but there really is no reason why you would want to watch the video here instead of just listening to the record. The sumo scene was never interesting let alone as funny as they wanted it to be with the dress. Sheeran and his mix of African and Asian love interest have zero chemistry although that's kinda fitting if he is just in love with her body. And that kick from the girl at the very end was just the negative icing on the cake. I've heard a lot of good things about Sheeran. I don't see any of these judging by these under 5 minutes. Highly not recommended.
