Title: -/10
Since it's a Midnight-Tree challenge and the title is fixed. I shall take this section out of the review.

Poster & Background: 8/10
A very pretty poster. The colours are soothing to my eyes and artistically blended with the cast and the hands of the clock. The background is mostly plain and the little picture at the side is pretty washed out, which is good because it does not distract me from reading the fan fiction.

Forewords: 7/10
An innocent introduction of the characters’ childhood. I like how the short and simple sentences tells so much, and allows one to visualize the characters in the head.

The forewords gave a little introduction to the characters involved in the story.

Cast Used: 3/5
I’m not really familiar with the K-Pop. Hence, I’ll rate this section by the personality and characteristics you’ve injected into the characters (which to me, would be just names – if without a personality).

The story is half developed. And I wished I could drag this review request till you’ve finished the story. But I guess ying and you would have killed me by then. HA!

Originality & Creativity: 10/15
It’s a generally nice story. Deducted marks were for the a-little-bit cliché “meeting childhood best friend again after many years”.

Story & Plotting: 10/15
The story has just started developing, and it’s getting me quite glued to the computer screen (waiting for updates, that is). It’s hard not to wonder if BoA will allow herself and Jae Joong a chance, or go along with the marriage with the almost-the-best-man-on-Earth Yunho that was already planned.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 9/10
You’ve got a good command of English, really.
And I’ve yet to find faults with your fan fiction.
But nobody’s perfect! So, it’s hard to really award full marks for Language.

Flow Of Story: 8/10
Perfect. It wasn’t too fast, neither was it that slow.

Writing Style: 4/5
I like your writing style. Simple and direct words without much really hard to understand words. It allows you to carry the information to readers effectively. I like (:

Overall Enjoyment: 8/10
Yes, till now, I’ve liked the fan fiction.

Bonus marks: 3/5
For replying to readers’ comments without fail.
It’s hard, I know.

Total mark: 70/90
Additional comments:
I had actually finished a couple of days ago, but I procrastinated for a few days. And POOF! Another updated chapter! HA. My apologies, for the delay in the submission of review!
Good luck with the rest of the story and your other fan fictions!
