Title: 10/10

Logical: 3/3

The title didn't really tie in with the story at first but after a few chapters, it started to as Minho ends up having to 'tame' Taemin becuse Taemin's hormones started acting up when he got pregnant.

Eye-catching: 3/3

It made me curious to be honest. I think it's because people automatically assume that titles with '101' with them will be sort of comedic as it is a guide so the characters still have to find their way around (ridiculous) problems.

Original: 4/4
I haven't encountered a fic with the same title.

Description/Foreword: 10/10

Summary: 5/5

The summary was very intriguing as Taemin and Minho seem to have a past which Taemin can't let go of. What interested me the most would be the use of 'dickhead extraordinare'.

Appearance: 5/5

Everything was arranged neatly and it wasn't an eyesore.

Character Development/Showcasing: 7/10

Development: 3/5

The characters were well developed and they are pretty interesting. Taemin starts off as mistrusting of Minho, illogical and stubborn. After Minho's change of character towards him, he started being more open and accepting towards Minho but he still has that seed of doubt still planted in him.

Minho is determined but an . That was how he was when he was still dating Taemin. He ends up changing after he finds out about Taemin's pregnancy.

Unfortunately, none of these characters have made me invest my emotions into them yet.

Relation/Cast: 4/5

The relations of the characters are logical. Taemin and Minho's first week back was awkward, which made perfect sense.

The only weird thing would be Minho's interactions with his personal assistant, Sunny. It is not uncommon for people to be friends with their secretaries. Sadly, in real life it may not be appropriate for Sunny to place bets on her boss' private life, so that's an aspect that may not be so logical.

Behind the Author's Mind: 29/40

Logical: 10/10

There's actually nothing illogical about the way the author wrote the story.

Original: 1/10

This has got to be the section where most points are docked. Sorry, author-nim :( This not an uncommon plot as there has been many stories which have included the aspect of a forced marriage to join the company's forces. It is also not uncommon when the bride and groom (or in this case, groom and groom) have a past. Unfortunately, this story is incomplet so there is no room for unexpected endings yet.

Tone: 5/5

This story is written in a style that's very pleasant, so it's not oozing angst or anything extreme. This style suits the story if the author's not looking to write anything extreme.

Naration: 5/5

The story's tenses were consistent.

Storyline: 7/10

The storyline was smooth and everything feels rushed. Hopefully, the author will start to slow down and get readers to start getting attached to the characters.

Proper Use of the English Language: 25/25

Proper Grammar/Punctuation: 10/10

No noticeable grammar mistakes.

Termonology: 5/5

The vocabulary's neither limited or expanded and I hope it stays this way because the use of words that are complicated may ruin the simple flow of the story.

Language Barrier: 10/10

Nothing wrong here.

General Enjoyment/Last Comment: 3/5

I enjoyed the story, but I can't help but think that this is a very cliche plot. I guess this is what makes the enjoyment go down.

Total points: 84/100

A little note from me

Good job on the good score! I hope to see your story develop more and hopefully, you'll prove me wrong about the originality of this fic. I hope you found this review useful and keep on writing. Fighting author-nim!^^ Sorry for the wait and Merry Christmas, if you celebrate Christmas :D
