Title (2/5)
The title is unappealing to me. You have to choose a title that can draw the attention of the people. Besides I don’t understand why you chose that title, maybe in the prequel it has more sense, but since I haven’t read it I can’t tell.
 
Graphics (3/5)
The graphic it’s okay, but it’s way too simple and plane. The purpose of the poster it’s to be the “face” of your story, so it has to tell us of what the story is about, it has to be related to the plot. 
And what confuses me it’s the color of the graphic, it’s grey when the story is cute and sweet, it doesn’t make any sense, I can’t feel the fluffy atmosphere in it.
 
Description and Foreword: (4/10)
I think the description is very short, yes it is true that goes straight to the point, but from my point of view it’s not enough to retain a person and make her/him read the story, unless he or she has already read the prequel of course. I like to read descriptions that are not too long and not too short, it has –once again– to capture the attention of the public. The description it’s very important, that it is going to decide if people will read your story or not. So it must contain precise and interesting information.
 
Story Layout: (1/5)
It’s true that we should not judge a book by its cover, but let’s be realistic, almost everyone judge things by appearance, so the layout has a big responsibility. I personally like the stories that have beautiful and appealing backgrounds. This may sound stupid but we can compare this situation with malls, they have a certain atmosphere that makes people keep buying (this is real by the way,actually they hire sociologists to do that work if you didn’t know ^^), here is the same, you have to have a layout and an "environment" that makes me want to read.
 
Plot: (10/30)
The plot is pretty ordinary, simple and repetitive to be honest. In the first chapters it was hard for me to concentrate on the story because it wasn’t going anywhere.Yet I think it’s super cute and familiar, and personally I like that kind of stories, especially if there is a baby involved. But again, it is not an innovative or original storyline. And now that I think about it I also feel that there is no defined plot, as if you had just written some scenes randomly and that’s it, as if you hadn’t planned the story beforehand.Also there wasn't a lot of action, there were no moments of , except for what happened with Yuri, but it was my obvious that she was going to survive at the end.The story is obvious and predictable (except when Tae and fany lose their baby, I wasn’t expecting that), but despite everything I could enjoy it because it was very cute.
 
Characterization: (4/10)
The only characters that were partially well-defined were Yuri (who showed herself as a funny and carefree girl) and Sooyoung (who showed to be a rather temperamental girl), and the latter didn’t even appears constantly.I think the characters were not very dynamic and you made them very submissive, therefore unrealistic.Besides all the characters were alike in personality, they were quite plain.However I could laugh and cry with them anyways.But the character I personally liked most was Taeyeon, because she was an insecure girl and the fact that she were so awkward with kids was amusing to me.  

Content Description (5/10)
There weren’t many descriptions and that bothered me a little bit, because when people read they have to imagine what is happening in the story inside their minds, so when there is no descriptions is very difficult to them to do that, in this way we lose an important essence of reading.Therefore, to avoid this situation, you have to describe the surroundings, the situations, the weather and even the psychological atmosphere of the story, this adds quality to the writing.Oh, and if you are planning to write scenes it is very important to describe in great detail everything, so the readers can imagine it easily and make it more entertaining, interesting and enjoyable.
 
Flow: (3/5)
As I said before the story became very repetitive after the first three chapters.In fact a person could skip whole chapters without losing the thread of the story, which is not good because it makes of the reading something rather boring and tedious.However it is easy to read and I could understand everything perfectly, it is not necessary to go back in order to understand what it’s happening.
 
Grammar: (4/10)
Okay, sorry but I have to say this, there were many grammatical errors…a lot actually. There was a huge mess about verb conjugations.Sometimes you wrote with simple present, then with simple past and then present continuous, so yeah, you have problems to differentiate when to use these three, so I suggest you to check the basic grammar, you can google it actually. These errors were a big distraction for me, but I managed to enjoy the story anyways.
So yeah, you have to work on that. But don’t worry, you can improve your grammar reading more fanfics (since you can learn from other people, I say that based on my personal experience) and writing more obviously to gain experience. You can do it! It's just a matter of practice honestly.
 
Taste of the Story: (4/10)
As I said earlier I like family stories, so despite everything I really liked it.Sometimes it was a bit boring, but it was cute.You're very good conveying emotions, I think I cried like three times, and it made me laugh a lot, since Yuri was a very dorky girl. But the lack of description, the poor grammar and the plot are things that I cannot ignore, sorry. But keep going, improve yourself and good luck! 
 


TOTAL: (40/100)

Chapter 75: 5/5
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

Chapter 75: 3/5
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 

Chapter 75: 2/5
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! :)
