notes! this is the portion where i'll write the actual review for your character. i honestly might use bulletpoints ahhh idrk yet i might do both depends on my mood LMAO

but make sure you check up on here to see what's up <3

notes! hello ky! thank you so much for applying to my story and for being the first applicant! <3 i hope the short scenario was enough lol. here are the notes that i included (bullet points!):

— chaeyeon gives me the shy and independent type of vibe, and she lowkey reminded me of myself before i started working. so i tried to include some traits of her while she's on the job (hopefully i did it justice lol)

— when i read your application, i couldn't find any information if she works more as a barista or as the bookstore clerk... so for this scenario i just did the barista part of her job lol (if you could include which position she works more as that'd be wonderful)

— for the relationships, please add more detail in regards to how seulhui and jake interacts with chaeyeon! i mean for seulhui and chaeyeon i just gave them a generic interaction as friends and it isn't a big deal, but just please extend more on how they interact :) i also like the story how jake and chaeyeon met haha

—  when it comes to chaeyeon's relationship with jay, i think it's really interesting how they have the "no label" route. because, i think their story will greatly focus on the "are we together or not but we don't have a label lol" type of thing?? you get me? so i think this will start some great conversations with each other and with their friends!

— also, i've been gone from aff for so long, i didn't even know that you can have multiple pages (?) within a bog post! so thank you so much for adding separate posts for each character. i really loved the insights with their social media cards, tweets, twitter feed, and their instagram feed. i enjoyed scrolling/reading through it!! it was really creative as well (showing which characters had an updated story reel/highlights!)

— overall, you're accepted! thank you so much for applying again. while you're accepted, i just need you to add those small things and that's it! thank you for applying again <3

notes! hello silvi! thank you so much for applying again! i enjoyed reading your app so much. i had so many ideas for the preview lol. but i settled for inyeon and seulhui conversing and trying to bring her to a party lol. down below are notes and your score <3

— where do i even start! your app was adorable and a pleasure to look at. idk you outdid yourself with the color scheme lol

— i also think the italian portion of inyeon is so cool? idk the language but i'm taking an italian class rn! it's for italian films though lol. but that, is a trait that stands out to me 

— i think it's really adorable how inyeon and seul would converse about their shared interests (the bf games, harvest moon, food stories, coffee and nail art)

— and it's a bit funny bc i got into harvest moon not too long ago lolol

— tbh i wasn't really planning on writing about parties, but i literally love how inyeon and jiwoong will give me an opportunity to do so? i think everyone is at the legal age to drink right?? story setting wise lmao  

— and speaking about parties, i wasn't planning on making jake a party boy like that. i mean it'd be hinted, but i really like how your character will give me an opportunity to write about partying lMAOO

— also, the way you wrote her crisis is so wholesome (and i completely remember this from the original app hehe). reading the crisis never fails to make my heart flutter and for me to feel all warm and fuzzy.

— reading the whole love int. section really made me go "they're that high school couple" but like that cool high school couple that everyone just adores? you know what i mean? inyeon and jiwoong is literally.... literally the definition of first love but the first love that makes work you know what i mean? this relationship reminds me of my friend's haha.

— it's very adorable.

— was i imagining things but i think/swore i read that jiwoong was a social vaper but it's gone now that i read the app lol but idk maybe it's me bc it's 3 am as i write this

— overall, accepted! thank you for applying. if i didn't portray inyeon right pls just lmk! i picture her to have a flirtatious..? side of her but it's more contained or something idrk LMAO but i can see her have a flirtatious side. but her being aware of what she's doing lol. 

score 9/10 + 7 (brownie points) = 16/10

notes! hello elle! thank you for applying! i hope you enjoyed the sweet/intimate moment between sungchan and sohee. literally, i hope i portrayed their relationship correctly lmao. ngl, i didn't really know what to write for the drabble... and i didn't know how to incorporate seulhui yet, so i decided to go with sohee and sungchan :,) if i potrayed sohee, sungchan, or their relationship incorrectly, just lmk!

— ngl, i kinda like the idea of sohee using the foodstagrammers for more publicitiy?? it's cruel but clever lol and i'm a business major irl so i know this is a good business move lol

— so i just have a small question about her relationship with sungchan. is there a designated nickname that sungchan uses to call sohee?? i didn't know if i should use soyee bc it just states that friends use that... so i wrote him using "love" to address sohee!! if he doesn't then that's fine, i'll just use the normal petnames (babe, love, etc). but if he does, pls lmk!!

— ngl reading her whole relationship with sungchan was interesting. i really enjoyed how their relationship slowly developed. and how you incorporated how they were when they were just acquaintances, friends, and when they were in the crushing stage. i think it's adorable.

— overall, accepted! thank you for applying <3 the score is listed below as well <3

score 8/10 + 9 = 17/10

notes! hi san thank you so much for applying. i hope i did the preview justice lol i kinda tweaked it a little of their meeting/how seongyu knew about mei but i hope that's okay ish??? lol i didn't really know what to write for mei so i just wrote about seongyu and how he found her ad haha sorry for the belated review/preview but here it is lol. notes are at the bottom yaaa 

— i haven't watched yuri on ice in a while omgggg so lowkey i forgot yuri's personality ngl but reading the app lowkey reminded me of it lol 

— but lowkey mei's crisis be hitting a bit too hard LOL i mean i'm different from her but then i lost majority of my friends when i went into college.... so im basically lonely as well 

— n e ways, i def agree that her crisis aligns with her personality. like how she's just like i wanna live my best life and the ppl i open up to shouldn't need me to change just to be friends type of situation

— okay so seongyu smokes, and i'm okay with writing that. but just wondering, how does mei feel about it? just wanna know in case i write about it or something lol 

— but i went :((( when i read that seongyu smokes outside so he doesn't expose his sisters to it ahhh <3

— what a man :,) 

— overall, accepted score is below

score 8/10 + 4.5 = 12.5/10

notes! omg hello faith i apologize for this really late review lmao. tbh i had her review ready; just not the preview part :,) however, i hope this preview is good enough! tbh i was really lost with trying to write dorin bc i didn't really want to make her look like a "generic mean girl..." but i did unintentionally now that i read back on it... ofc if there's changes to her personality (from how i wrote the preview) just let me know! your review notes are below:

— tbh i really like how dorin kinda gets backstabbed with her own "friends" but instead of dwelling on it she just moves on and goes to the foodstagram group instead

— seunghun gives me the vibe that he'll probs try to "fix" dorin's personality (or at least influences her be a bit nicer)  and that's what i plan for anyways LMAO

— since they have an open ending, i have a bunch of ideas for the pair tbh so :^)

— i enjoy dorin's sly personality of using seunghun for the internship so that adds a bunch of *drama* lol

— also idk if its just me but are some of the usernames in her comments just like "random" accounts that follow her or they have relations with dorin? bc i only know minah that comments on her posts (and they're friends lol) but jangimin..? silviliu?? and im just asking just to make sure LMFAO 

score 8/10 + 7 = 15/10

notes! omg hello judy!! thank you so much for applying! here are your notes and your review! if you think i didn't write keonwoo or soohwan correctly you can just lmk! also idek if i picked the right pic for keonwoo's faceclaim :,) but if it's incorrect just lmk haha

—  i really really like keonwoo's crisis and how it's basically to fulfill his dad's dying wish. it's really sad and bittersweet when i read it

— i also like how you wrote seulhui's relationship with keonwoo and how he and his friends gave seulhui a safe space for her hobbies and such.

— since he has an open ending with soohwan, i actually have a lot of ideas too.

— really loved reading this app! thank you for applying!

notes! hello mei! thank you so much for applying and i hope i portrayed céleste correctly! tbh, when i was trying to find an image for the main image... i can't tell if i picked the right image LOL. but lmk if i have to fix anything ofc!!! down below are your notes and score:

— i absolutely love her background—i love her adopted parents and their dynamic with her daughter. (esp how she calls them late at night for fashion advice lol)

— i like how her crisis is super light hearted as well. i think it's really cute bc it's pretty simple

— literally the main crisis is just seul trying to get céleste and sunghoon together 3 haha i'm very soft for them don't touch me aoifhgoidgf

— i really like the point where sunghoon will flat out gush about céleste too. like when i read that sunghoon would visit seul during her break just to talk about her lol <3

—  the guy is whipped and we love that haha and céleste is just living her best life a bit oblivious haha

— also pls lmk if i portrayed her parents right... i liked how you added that she talks to her parents openly and about everything. so i pictured her talking to her parents about her early/pre struggles before meeting the foodstagrammers! 

— overall, accepted! thank you so much for applying and i apologize for the late review!

score 9/10 + 7 = 16/10

notes! hello elle! thank you so much for applying! i really enjoyed reading your app lol as always, if you think i portrayed any of the characters wrong (especially rae) just lmk! and i'll happily change the scenario! also pls bare w me bc i swear this is nana from woo!ah but at the same time i'm not sure lol. but yeah just let me know! notes are under with your score thank you so much!

— i really love her name it's so clever and i love how her last name is shin. i just hate (aka love) how her name is literally that shin ramen brand 

— ok before you tell me i did her work schedule wrong, it was intentional! i didn't know if i wanted to have this setting... like during school, so i just wrote this situation as if they were on break :) 

— i love her whole relationship with enhypen, its fricken cute :( 

— i lowkey hate (not literally) how her crisis is literally sh!t that i went through ahaha def fell for someone too fast and they messed me up after that >:0 but i'm sure raeyeon can overcome this she literally has the girls (and enhypen)

— here is where i have some questions that formed and they're not that serious tbh it's just for me to know bc author rights lol:

1 ) what are everyone's coffee orders LMAO i literally wanted to make the scenario at the cafe but i literally didn't want to assume to give them basic americanos haha. i'd probs would've given them regular lattes for the younger members and like.... americanos for the hyung line 💪🏻but if heeseung and/or raeyeon have a specific drink(s) they prefer to get just drop it :) 

2 ) okay tbh i think i lowkey confused myself while reading your app since i stan enhypen and i know i said that the love int will be the same age as the main characters so jake, raeyeon, and heeseung are the same age (as well as jay and sunghoon bc they're the same age as jake lmao) but what age would you prefer for riki, jungwon and seonwoo (for your storyline, specifically)? i'm so used to them being like... the kids so i'm not sure if you were trying to go for those three being the same age as the others? bc i swear i couldn't find it in the app :,) or maybe it's just me that's confusing myself 3 lol [this will change if a chosen applicant uses them as a love int!]

3 ) since raeyeon has a strong association with enhypen, i'll leave this up to you: what's the living situation like? does heeseung live in the dorms? or does he have his own apartment? does jay live w him? i literally wanted to write jake's apartment........ but idrk what the living situation is like LMAO so i'll leave this to you :) [again, this will change if another applicant states otherwise, other factors, etc]

4 ) also would you be okay with raeyeon crashing at one of the guys' place? i wanted to write how late night ramyeon nights would happen at x place and they have a tendency of staing at x's place. but i'm not sure if that's okay with you (and tbh i just see them doing that lol)

5 ) this isn't that important but their (both hee and rae) stance on smoking and drinking? everyone set the tone that there will be parties so this is information i gotta know haha. (it's okay if either/or aren't into it btw!!)

— i love how heeseung is just always seen picking up two coffees or eight

— i smiled when i read that heeseung always orders at the cafe seul works at bc jake basically makes them 3 and heeseung works at a cafe too lolol

—   overall, accepted! thank you so much for applying again! looking forward to reading your response

score 9/10 + 7 = 16/10
