A simple trip to Hawaii could lead to many things.

...With the groom being her first love.

Title (1/5)
I hate to be rude but the title is stupid. It gives off a childish feel and if I were just a regular person scrolling by, I wouldn’t click on it. 
The title is ‘Bad Girl: Hawaiian Adventures’, let me just breakdown all the reasons why it doesn’t fit. For one, you made Mirae (cute name by the way) an innocent character who was just unlucky with love, she had a weak heart when it came to people and was very nice, what made her bad? 
Also, when you hear the word adventure you think of people going to mysterious places and discovering things, in your story things are just being pushed a little further. Mirae likes Kai; Kai likes Mirae, now they need to admit it, not really an adventure.  
Lastly, I just think you would have even more viewers if the name were different. I even want to read it when I read the name, once I started though, I couldn’t stop. I think the name holds it back.
 
Graphics (3/5)
Most of the posters weren’t impressive, the background was pretty boring too. I think the main poster should have been switched with the first chapter’s poster; there was a lot more going on in that poster. It was actually really pretty, the pictures were perfect, and the simple things like the flower with the button just topped it off, it was by far my most favorite.
I really wanted to give the graphics a two but I can’t hate, I know they were made in a hurry since you had one for every chapter, they were pretty good if you count that.
 
Description and Foreword: (10/10)
I liked the description; it gave me some extra motivation to read. It was short but somehow told a lot, I didn’t know if I would like the story from reading it but it did leave me curious. I remember thinking “Wait how is she going to get with him if he’s getting married? So is that not who she’s going to get with? THEN WHO IS SHE GOING TO GET WITH?
The title left me on my feet; I have the hardest time writing descriptions and forwards so good job!
 
Story Layout: (4/5)
I only had one problem with the layout, you didn’t put paragraph indents. I would find myself reading then stop like “How’d he/she get there?” then realize you started a new paragraph.
There are many writers on Asianfanfics and they all have their own writing style. Some put spaces in the most weird places and it would really help A LOT if you put indents in there just so it will be a little easier for the readers to follow.
 
Plot: (25/30)
The plot was perfect! It wasn’t rushed, made perfect sense, and NEVER left me bored! I read your story until I got up and woke up excited to finish it. It was pure genius! You’re a magnificent writer, magic literally comes out of your fingertips!
I took off points only because you forgot some characters like Chen and Tao who you gave pretty important roles to in the beginning. You also stated in the forward that you would focus on all the EXO members in the story, some were only mentioned once or twice.
Lastly, I feel you made Kris’s role a little confusing. I thought you were trying to make it like he wanted to get with Mirae but in the end he married someone else. When you said he was getting married I was like “WAIT WHAT?!”
 
Besides these minor things though, the story was amazing!
 
Characterization: (9/10)
I feel you gave all the characters personality, this is SO hard to find in a lot of people’s writing, even I have trouble with it. The love story was easy to follow, I could understand perfectly who wanted who, and never got confused, except with Kris.

Hold up, I take that back! Sehun confused me a little at the end, I knew he liked Mirae but I feel you didn’t put enough emotion into his personality, he got really upset when he found out Mirae liked Kai but didn’t say anything when they got together at the end. It made me really confused and I feel his feelings were most needed at the end but weren’t shown.
Also, you never explained the ring he gave her. Why did she have it? Were they in a relationship? Then how’d she just change and go to Kai? These are questions that I’m sure went through more than just my head.
Basically what I’m saying is, at the end I feel the feelings just weren’t explained enough.

 

Content Description (10/10)
I pictured everything clearly and could really put myself in the middle of the action. I didn’t have trouble following the story at all.

 
Flow: (4/5)
I don’t think the story was rushed it was the perfect speed and I could really take in everything that was happening.
The only thing that bothered me was that I felt you didn’t give enough back story at times, especially for Sehun.
I think things like Mirae and Sehun’s one nightstand should have been explained in more detail, you didn’t exactly explain how they got to that moment which made Mirae seem a little more less innocent than she was.
 

Grammar: (5/10)
There were many mistakes with the writing where I had to just kind of guess what you meant. You forgot words frequently, repeated things, and at times just had the sentence in the wrong order.

When you are done writing, you should proof read, and if you don’t have another person to also proof read it, you should proof read again.
 

Taste of the Story: (10/10)
I enjoyed every detail! I usually like action, mystery, suspense, etc. but you really pulled me in. You truly brought the beauty of love out without making it overly dramatic or unrealistic. You’re an amazing writer, good enough to be published, I’ll check out all your stories and be a faithful reader. KEEP WRITING!
 


TOTAL: (81/100)

Thank you for your content description. I never realized that car scene before lol. But thank you for that. You’re right about the thoughts and feelings by other characters should not be actually realized by the person’s POV. Guess I’m too immersed in the writing that I got carried away lol.
Im glad the flow is alright. Considering that it’s my first story (my practice 101), I wasn’t sure if my pacing was alright. I wasn’t exactly confident with the flashbacks being inserted like that but I’m happy you liked it (;
Grammar is not really my best asset, especially prepositions/conjunctions. I absolutely need to learn more. Thank you for your kind words despite.
Thank you very much for reviewing my story despite the rated scenes. I can never thank you enough for this very insightful review. Im glad you enjoyed the story despite everything. And once again, Im so sorry for the late pick up! I’ll credit now. Thank you once again and sorry for the loooonnnnnng comments :D

- gray eyes come from a thin layer of melanin on the front layer of the iris. The blue reflection of light is clouded over by the dark layer in front causing a dark gray color. (haha copied it from a med book lol)
-you’re right about her car injuries, I’ve only described her immense aches and pain after and the switching of faces, I’ve realized I focused too much on the switching that her injuries weren’t emphasized, thank you for emphasizing that

Your questions are gold! Thank you! I’ll keep them in mind while writing. Well to answer some of them:
-Changing face is actually possible, but would require lots of sessions. It’s from a theory and no, it isn’t practiced. *hint* from the latest story update, they changed faces, but would the outcome be the same? Would it be successful this time?*hint*hint
-what caused the amnesia---will be revealed later on haha
-whether joongki can take med degrees when he’s still young...ill try to check if I missed out a detail here  haha, I thought i made that info clear before, but apparently it’s doubtful
-whether joongki is thinking about her in the café, then she appeared…well, she’s been on his mind consistently ever since she disappeared and that day wasn’t an exemption.
-about shi hoo looking at her the same way? Let’s see what will happen 

For the layout, being consistent is so hard T__T but thank you for pointing the specific flaws. I’ll get to that and correct them. Thank you!

To be honest, I’ve never watched Good Doctor although I loved both Moon Chae Won and Joo Won. All I know is that the drama is all about doctors. Anyway, I’ve thought of a plot involving switching faces and how from that, a story will be created. I’ve added arrange marriage because to be honest, I have a feels for them (that is, before AFF was supersaturated with arrange-marriage fics). From there, Ive thought of making a second male lead as a friend helping the heroine with her struggle, but I’ve thought it too dull. I never really planned on making the doctor her love interest, but after some thoughts, why not? It would be a challenge to write. This is actually my first story and I never really thought about the number of chapters. I never really planned ahead during that time. I was full of daydreams and what ifs, that I became too excited to make it a reality, a story. Looking back, I realized how “short” my chapters are since 3-5 chapters actually happened in just a day. From there, I tried to learn how to balance scenes with my other stories. I knew how tiring it must be to read a long story T__T but since I started Imposter this way, I have to continue with what I have and improve the balancing of scenes till the end. I’ve thought of revamping after completing, and hopefully can publish it in the future 

Chapter 75: 1/5
oh my goodness. I didnt realize my review is up, but i saw it when I played a little with google search. Im so sorry for the late pick up!
Anyway for the title, I agree that some may not find it attractive enough, but for now, you're right that I should stick with it since the end is near. I will definitely think of a more mysterious title once I’ve completed and revamped the story. For the graphics, I’m glad someone pointed out the different symbolism it held. The graphic artist definitely understood what the story is all about. I couldn’t ask for more, and we’re the same! Aside from the beauty, I appreciate an artwork more if the artist can imbed hints and important symbolisms. I understand what you’re trying to point out with the trailers. Actually, I requested trailers when the story is only starting. I only gave brief description to the video artists, without giving them the little big reveals. The trailers are actually their interpretation with what little summary I gave them.

Chapter 77: Thank you for the review and sorry for the late thank you :) It's a relieve that I can make characters and the plot well, but of course it's a disappointment that reviewer-nim didn't enjoy reading my story 'that much'. Based on your building critiques, I guess I have to learn more and develop a more well established story that can leave a very good taste of the story. It makes me reflect a lot on my own story and reminds me that I still have a lot to improve.
I hope everything will go well for this review shop. Have a nice day! :)
