`Story Title[did it catch my attention?] : 5/5

-I really like the title! It captured my attention, and it got me interested. I had a nostalgic feeling, and so it gave off a first impression! Good job!

 

 

`Appearance[what was my first impression? Did it catch my attention?] : 8/10

-The background was fine- I had no problem with that. The poster, however, I felt that there was too much on it. It looked nice, yes, but I just felt it looked a little messy. The character faces didn’t blend in so well, but I guess it’s okay.

 

 

`Forewords[did your forewords make me wanting to read more?] : 10/10

-Your forewords had everything in it! It included the characters, a small summary of the story, and some other important information! It’s pretty hard to find a ‘perfect’ introduction nowadays. They’re usually missing some important parts, and some aren’t even complete! Also, the ending of the forewords made me laugh [: The guys are so adorable!

 

 

`Plot[was the plot cliche or was it interesting?] : 12/15

-I wouldn’t say it was cliché, but I wouldn’t say it was eye-catching either. The characters didn’t have a good spice to them, and the storyline wasn’t as interesting as I thought it would be. I could tell you did tried though. That was what really counted! It’s better than those fanfics with too much in them, in you know what I mean!

 

 

`Characterization[was I able to learn about the characters?] : 9/10

-I had no problem with the characterization either! I can judge the characters based on their actions and thoughts. The only thing I would want to add is the fact that your characters are a bit too dull. They’re not exciting. I suggest making more round characters in the future. The thing I appreciated, however, was the fact you didn’t write Mary-Sues, or at least they didn’t seem to be so in my eye. Good job with that [:

 

 

`Creativity/Originality[was it creative?] : 9/10

-It was pretty original for the most part. It set a nostalgic feeling and I really liked the fact you didn’t use those overly common storylines. Great job!

 

 

`Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary[was I able to understand what you were trying to say?] : 8/10

-There were a few mistakes here and there, but they weren’t major. I could still understand the message you’re delivering to the readers! However, you might want to work on your grammar problems. You tend to misuse words, such as in the sentence: ‘No one of us talk’. It’s supposed to be ‘None of us talk’. You might want to read over your writing, just to make sure.

 

 

`Flow[was it too fast or too slow to my liking?] : 10/10

-I had no problem with the flow! It’s was perfect! Great job on not making it go too fast or too slow! Full marks [:

 

 

`Writing Style[did your writing style make it easy for me to read?] : 9/15

-One major problem I had with your writing style was the random Korean words you would add to your story. Words such as ‘yah’ and ‘yoboseyo’ are okay, but a majority of the words you added aren’t understandable to those readers who aren’t as knowledgeable about Korean as you are (for example: me) such as the words ‘Waeimnikka’ and ‘Jeongmal’. I had a few blank moments here and there. It’s all right to add the easy words once in a while, but make sure your readers can still understand.

Also, I grew slightly bothered by your overuse of ‘…’s. I prefer you just place a period and get it over with.  

 

`Overall Enjoyment[did I enjoy this story?] : 2.5/5

-Your fanfic was all right. I didn’t hate it. It’s just these aren’t the kind of stories I usually read. Also, I don’t really like any story that features a girl that used to live in the United States. The storyline was kind of dull and the characters were just there if you know what I mean. I bet I would’ve enjoyed it more if it was a bit more exciting.

 

 

`Total : 82.5/100

 

`Bonus : 2/5

-Thumbs up for Donghae and Jaejoong!

-Thumbs up for Yoona and Jessica!

 

Overall Total: 84.5/100

I don't know how to explain this, but there is a move in which you move your chest while your fingers are going down. Also the move in which your body is following your body isn't easy for someone who wants to start dancing.

Hello I was just wondering if my story was going to be reviewed? I put up a request on the day you said would be the last day of accepting reviews so I don't know if it's valid or not

Ahh kay. Thank you for the review and the encouraging words and the great score :D<br />
I really like my poster though!! :P I think the shop I used was fantastic. I didn't want a quote because it seems cheesy to me, and to be honest, book covers never show the story line anyways, so I disagree with you in that respect. I also find backgrounds to be distracting when navigating through the chapters, which is why I don't use one. ;) <br />
I think your comment on the length of it also got me thinking, and I may go through and have a compilation of the "must read" chapters for new readers so they can skip over some of them. Thank you very much again for the review :)

@Chp. 51: To be fair, the real Taemin went to normal school until after Ring Ding Dong, if I'm not mistaken. There was a rumour that he was bullied at school, with a series of pictures of him in class. He transferred to an arts school after Ring Dong Dong.
