* Opening *
 
Title- 3.5/5  
 

- The title for one is definitely unique, cute yet weird. Just saying. . .but since it's a drabble then that would be understandable.

 
Poster+Background- 0/5  
 

- There's no poster and bg whatsoever. . .I would advise you to at least have a bg, to make your story look appealing? Or if you don't know how to make your very own poster, there are always people here in aff that are willing to make one for you. :D

 
Description && Foreword- 8.5/10
 

- The description might be short but you pretty much recovered in the foreword the lack of info in the description. So in the foreword, it was interesting. It made me, as a reader myself curious on what's about to happen and what would be Yunho's way of getting revenge as I also wondered why Junsu poured him with slime in the first place. Both the description and foreword is nicely put. Well done. :DD

 
Total: 12/20
 
* Contents *
 
Originality && OSM-ness- 8.5/10
 

- Creativity - check || Humor - check || Fluffy-ness - check || Typical - slight? || OSM-ness - not that much. So you have creativity, humor and utter fluffy-ness well written. BUT! Yes, there is a but; which is. . .the story wasn't really well delivered. There are a lot of hanging parts here and there, especially how Jae's feelings towards Yunho. And the story isn't really unique since, well. . .I have read countless stories about people trying to get revenge on someone and it ends up in a epic fail.

 
Plot- 10/15

- The plot was surely interesting, it had a cute twist [me likey :3]. But there are some parts and scenes in the story that I wasn't able to picture out quite well. And yet, again with the typical 'I must take revenge and fails blah blah blah' sort of plot. Hmmm to be honest, it’s not that unusual or unique and nearly every stories I read these days are somewhere along those lines, just saying. :] Which made me think that reading your story would be *snores*, but then I was *le-gasp* clearly mistaken. XD

 

Chapter Titles- 3/5

- Uhmm. . .I’m really not quite sure about this one to be honest. Since your story is like, a one-shot so clearly this part doesn't apply. xD So I'll just give you a 3, just to be fair. =D See? Not to eBiiiL right? XD

 
Flow- 8.5/15

- The flow is fine, the progress is not so fast, but just minor confusing parts. Like for such, 'the sudden playfulness of Jae' [Yea, I think I mentioned that part quite to many times. But still it still bothers me. . . >.<] And for the ending. . .it was cute, it had me grin. xD I don't know why actually, but it just made me grin! Since I'm a er for cute and fluffy endings such as that. But. . .IT'S.A.HANGING.ENDING!!! I want more! D:<

Total: 30/45

 
* Expressions *
 
Characterization - 10/15
 

- As you wrote in their character descriptions, you were able to portray each character quite well. But I would have appreciate it if you would have also able to mention Changmin in your character description in your foreword since if you ask me, he pretty much also played a huge role in the story being Yunho's friend that is. 

 
Way of writing- 7.5/10

- It was fine, not so good or bad. And I strongly think you could haVe done a better job than this. The way you write, well I have to admit you have potential with drabbles since this fanfic had me laughing like a complete retard at some parts but then again you could have given a lot more detailed situations to such 'how Jae really feels towards Yunho' or the such. There are also some parts in your story that I raise an eyebrow in confusion, the part where Jae suddenly stole Yunho's cotton candy and bit on it, it had me wondering why he was suddenly playful. But in the same time, I shrug it off since it was a cute scene. xD

 
Mechanics [Grammar && Spelling && etc]-  7.5/10
 
A few of them can be spotted, just be careful really:
 
` Minor misspelled words such as:
Nickelodian? Shouldn't that be spelled as Nickelodeon?
 
` Wrong use of tenses:
Yunho's had a crush on Jaejoong for quite a time now
- Instead of 'had' it should be 'has', since you only use 'had' if the action is already completed. And because Yunho is still currently crushing on Jaejoong, then you should have used 'has' which is correct if the action is still active.
 
` Grammar:
Yunho's had a crush on Jaejoong for quite a time now
- Yunho has a crush on Jaejoong for quite some time now.
 
“You’re really going on there?”
- IN
 
“Why would I?” he questioned. 
- WOULDN'T 
 
` Typos:
Changmin squined his eyes.
- SQUINTED 
 
He snickered to himself once he was only 2 feet away from is target.
- HIS 
 
“He freakin’ looked like King Kong if you ask me!”
- ASKED
 
Total: 25/35
 
Partial Total Score: 67/100
 
Bonus- 11/15
 

~ It was fun, would have loved it if you made it longer or just rewrite it into something more detailed and polish the typos here and there. =]

 
TOTAL = 77

Can I request for a review if there is only one chapter? I just want to know if I'm off to a good start. ^^;;
