Title

I really like the title since it was unique but personally, I found it a little too long. Try to keep titles with one-three words at most or the title will look long, just believe but this is an experience I had for months of reviewing that most readers are not attracted to long chapters so I would recommend summarising the title. I would prefer this 'Reckless But Lucky', how does this sound? I found it short and simple which is a beauty in my eyes.

Other than talking about the length of the title, the original title did attract and impress me. The word 'reckless' gives off a negative feeling from it, like accidents and trouble but after being associated with 'lucky' which is a postive word for me, the title comes off as something similar to how we depict humans; since humans have negative and postive things about them so all in all, I really like this title! Great job other than the length!

Plot

I absolutely love the plot since it was so well-written but talking in terms of uniqueness, it isn't really unique. I have read numerous stories that have the same plot as you, taking place in school, one character is a famous face that has a player personality, the other character is the clever one that is a little like a wallflower, not many people that interest in them. So, I was quite tired of reading the same plot again when I started reading your story but when I started reading, my initial opinion of the story changed. 

It was well-written with vivid description, I did savour the thoughts coming from both parties because they were so precious to me and they didn't even know that they are looking up to each other. This is so cute and I really like that as my prediction for the story wasn't like that at first. I thought it will be the normal cliche and overused plot where the wallflower will try to go near to the player and at first the player will bully and tease the wallflower and they fall in love, but this isn't like that. So, there are four words for you.

I love the plot!

Characterization

Let me tell you something, the characterization was awesome, like it was perfect. Donghae was that bad- character that seemed like a play-boy but when you revealed that he actually wanted cuddles, I was surprised and my reaction was like 'aww....', thinking that he is really a child at heart. He wasn't as bad as he looked, I love the part where both Hyukjae and Donghae were like envying each other's life, it was indeed astonishing to read that. I liked the plot twist that you applied here. Initially, when I just read Hyukjae's Point of View I was thinking that it will be hard for Hyukjae to talk to Donghae since there is a small chance that Donghae even know him or seen him in the school campus before. I was so happy when they were both envying each other and they don't know, I mean isn't that cute? They are such a lovey-dovey couple.

We have Hyukjae thinking that he really wanted to be as reckless as Donghae and wanted to be daring to try out these things. This is one of the reasons why I love your title, it has a large connection with the story and plot so I was satisfied seeing this as for the last review that I have done, the title sounded short and sweet but in the end, I didn't really like the title after all, because the title had no connection with the story and I was rather upset when I saw that. So, you did impress me with the title! Initially, when I haven't really found out the characters' and their personalities, I thought that Donghae was the quiet and clever one while Hyukjae will be the play-boy and the reckless one, but it was the opposite so I managed to get a change of attitude coming from both characters.

I appreciate how you gave the other Super Junior members a cameo in the story because I really like stories where all the members will be present in the story, I don't like how members are usually left out just because writers want to write on their bias only. I am very happy about that, I have to comment that their characters' traits are rather vague because I can't judge them with those one-liner that introduced them, but it is obviously vague since you did not want to include them as main characters. So, for the overall characterization for the rest of the Super Junior members, I was glad that you at least told us about their role in the story(like the cute Sungmin from Music and Child Development class).
