Blind and Blinded

Review: I'll start from the title :) I think it's a nice play of words, and it fits the story very well. The blind refers to youngjae and the blinded refers to namjoo, which in itself is very deep and meaningful. The description and foreword are very simple, it doesn't reveal much, but it is eye-catching. Even though youngjae has yet to make a appearance in the fic, I'm already anticipating him, and it seems like he will be a very gentle, loving character (which is perfect for namjoo!!) Despite so, it would be nice if you added a little more to the description/foreword^^a.

Characters-wise, you briefly introduced some of namjoo's friends in the prologue (they were her friends... Right?) there's a slight problem there because it was abit confusing, you introduced many characters and they were kind of all over the place. Like Alexander driving from the passenger seat and Jackson at the driver seat making out with hyun jae- their bodies must have been really awkwardly twisted up haha. And you didn't account for everyone at the end of the first scene so... I assume minwoo and sung hee died? 
Aside from that minor confusion, the intro and first chapter was okay for the characters.

Next is the plot. I must say this is one really intriguing plot!! I'm really anticipating the future chapters :) I can tell that this isn't going to be a typical cliche romance story, and that is good because we have an endless supply of cliches out there ~_~; 
There is one thing about chapter 1 though, the part where the students say bad things about her in her face. That was really mean and I don't know, people in Korea (if that's the setting of the story) wouldn't do that especially to their senpais, and especially if they are girls. It's really mean, abit too extreme. Maybe it would've been better if they whispered it among themselves behind her back or something^^

I have no issues with your grammar and spelling, i can tell your English is strong (s'pore ftw!!) Just a few minor word phrase errors that are not very noticeable, but otherwise all is good :D

Overall, I must say that this is going to be a story worth reading :) the emotions are there, they are very relatable, and that insecurity that namjoo feels probably hits close to home for many teenage readers. I can't wait for young jae to appear *cue: dramatic entrance with confetti hahaha* but I can tell that you have a lot in your hands so don't stress yourself out and take your time :) good luck for studies!


Hwaiting!! :)
