Directed by Um Tae Hwa, known for his work on Concrete Utopia, the music video for Love wins all narrates a poignant story of a couple navigating a post-apocalyptic future. In this five-minute visual masterpiece, IU and BTS' V display their captivating onscreen chemistry, indulging in small dates, holding a wedding, partaking in a photoshoot, and joining a singing event. However, the narrative takes a heartbreaking turn as the story unfolds, with the symbolic white cubes seemingly marking the conclusion of their love, transforming it into a tragic tale.
In their journey through dangerous paths in the jungle, both IU and V, adorned with scars and dressed in worn-out attire, sought refuge from the daunting white cubes. Amidst the chaos, IU gestured for V to follow her. Seeking shelter in an abandoned building, the duo stumbled upon discarded garments. Amidst these remnants, V discovered a camera, unveiling a surreal reality where they could witness each other in an unscathed state before the cubes unleashed destruction upon humanity.
Seated at a table, the two engaged in moments of joy, sharing meals, laughter, and wine with others dressed in somber black attire. The plot takes them to a room where they wear shabbily dressed wedding attire. Seated before the camera, IU and V immortalized moments in wedding attire, engaging in playful interactions. As IU sang, the couple shared an intimate embrace. However, the idyllic scene took a sudden turn with the reappearance of the ominous cubes, prompting the couple to flee.
In their desperate attempt to escape, they stumbled upon the cubes disintegrating and dispersing across the city skyline. Amidst the chaos, IU seized a weapon to confront the cubes, with V joining in the attack, but their efforts proved futile. In a heartbreaking turn, both IU and V succumbed to the cubes, leaving only their clothes behind, forming a somber pile with others.
Fans took to social media after watching the Love wins all music video, expressing heartbreak over the tragic ending for the couple. Many wished for a happier outcome and proposed ideas for V and the My Mister actress to collaborate in Korean dramas or movies due to their magnetic onscreen chemistry. Social media discussions included theories about extraterrestrial involvement and symbolic interpretations of the cubes consuming the couple.
