Title: 3/5

The title has to do with the plot, but I feel like it's a tad bit too long. There are several fics out there with long titles, but this one in particular doesn't really sound like a title, rather a sentence. For example, it sounds quite odd to say "Hey have you read that one shot 'We Will Reach Each Other'." The title isn't exactly too appealing either, but it does fit the idea of the plot so I'll award you points for that. 

Foreword/Description: 7/10

To be honest, I was having mixed feelings about your foreword. I liked how you kept it short and on point, informing the readers exactly what the plot was about, but I didn't feel too compelled to read it. There was not much of a hook, so if I just so happened to stumble upon your fic, I probably wouldn't have read it. But thank you for keeping it on topic and not rambling off about something that had nothing to do with the plot. 

Appearance: 5/5

Overall appearance is good. Beautiful poster!

Plot: 12/20

Please don't be too disappointed with this score. Because it's a oneshot, I can't give you a big score for plot. However, I think the way you executed explaining a story that would probably take place within ten chapters or more, and squeezed it into a oneshot was excellent. But, what I'm not too ecstatic over is the ordinary plot. The plot was too ordinary and plain for me to feel much over. I didn't want to cry, or smile, and laugh much after reading. Try making it your point to drain emotion from the reader.

Mechanics: 19/20

Your mechanics are good. I don't see any problems with spelling or grammar, but I do wish you could broaden your vocabulary. Try to explore into words and twist up your sentences a bit! Adding a bit of flavor into your writing will surely gather a greater response! And try not using all caps when emphasizing exclamations. That's what exclamation marks are for. 

Characterization: 11/20

I didn't see much character development due to the fact that it is a oneshot, but I can determine the character's personalities, as Hoya has trust issues and Eunji is quite the faithful lover. 

Flow/Style: 15/15

As I said, you fit the plot of a story into a oneshot quite nicely, so I'll award you full points for flow. I won't mark down points for this, but I suggest you add a little more flavor to your style.

Overall Enjoyment: 3/5

It was interesting and bittersweet.

Total: 75/100
