The Pianist
Forbidden Dreamers Review GalleryReviewer's note: I did all 18 chapters because of the delay and damn the story was interesting, I wanted to stay till the end. But note that I did scheme through at some points so if I fault on some missed details ignore me.
»The Pianist Review«
Title (3/5)
Giving you a lower story only because it does not justify the intensity of the story and to be honest, I felt that Eunji was the main character so something revolving around her would have been better.
Foreward/Description (2/10)
The description was short but it was captivating enough but why did you have to ruin it by calling it a story which sounds boring; you want people to read don't you?
Appearance (3/5)
Faulting you on your choice of italics font. Why?!
Plot (13/15)
It's dark, it's twisted, it's matured, it's y, it's exciting; I thought it was very good.
You chose a London setting from the past and I liked it, all the details were well done; I can tell you know your stuff BUT it does seem weird when you imagine a Korean in those dressing with those names. Which brings me to the next point; why did you switch up their names between their Korean names and an English name?! It made me feel as a point in time that you copied this story somewhere and made a mistake by forgetting to change certain names.
Lastly, this was all about the fall of Eunji; I expected a bit more on the building up of her reputation and her family's.
Originality (15/15)
Definitely full marks here. This might be one the few of its kind I come across and very well written.
Language (20/20)
Your language is flawless; I didn't pick out anything wrong.
A slight comment on your way of writing:
It was melodic and poetic; definitely making it a beautiful read and almost having the musical touch; making it a work of art but I didn't feel the deep emotions for any characters. It's not a bad thing but that's just an opinion.
Flow (9/10)
Really nothing to fault here the chapters were short and at a pace comfortable to read.
Characterization (8/10)
As per above, a bit more on the build up of their backgrounds and the emotional connection between characters.
Overall Enjoyment (10/10)
I really really liked it. I personally didn't fancy the kpop stars featured (personal preference) but this story was good.
