round 03, challenge seven: elimination comments
#01 - the use of the "a kiss makes everything better" cliche made the piece really trite. also, the tense changes were awkward.
#02 - the taylor swift line was rather jarring, and parentheses were overused and unnecessary.
#02 - I thought this dropped into melodrama starting from the bit about the stylists. Donghae's listening to the albums and the Taylor Swift quoting don't seem like things he would actually do. A bit more subtlety would've helped this piece a lot.
#02 - I thought the use of parenthesis was excessive. It was disorienting to shift in and out of them and left the piece feeling broken. In short, it wasn't cohesive, but it could have been.
#04 - Some of the wording was awkward and the ending left me confused. I didn't expect Hyukjae to be taking his own "joke" so seriously. If there was any indication that he hadn't been expecting it, either, it would have been less jarring.
#04 - Completely cliche, which made it hard for me to want to read it.
#04 - besides his office outfit, not sure where the second theme you used was applied in this. also, certain parts of the piece (ie "he remembers another train") left me a bit confused rather than sad for junsu.
#05 - The dialogue seems off to me, more like something you'd see in a stylized television show than actual human speech.
#05 - Felt superficial; it lacked emotion and the reason for Amber not speaking to Sulli was confusing and vague. What exactly about the business broke them up?
#05 - i feel like with more words this could have been really good, but the constraints of the word limit didn't give me enough time to get into the story. maybe it was too big of an idea? but i didn't get invested at all, didn't feel her heartbreak.

#02 - The take on the prompt wasn't particularly original, but it really packed a punch in the end. It was cute, sad, and funny all at the same time.

#03 - the language used was lovely, as was the interpretation of both themes and how jiyong uses seunghyun almost like a detrimental drug to achieve the "you are all my favorite parts in the songs i love" effect. the last line is just as he said: perfect.
