WOAAAH. Looooved this one. Really creative use of SNSD's jersey numbers as well as the prompt. Was totally not expecting this darkly-themed fic (even though the story itself is not very dark). It took me a while to put together all the pieces of what the setting was, but I loved how you revealed everything in bits and pieces, like the girls' jobs, then Yuri's job, then the fact that they're wax dolls. So neat! The repeated lines in italics are fantastic too; I like how they narrate how Yoona finds her purpose in life, effed up as it may be. The relationship between Yuri and Yoona is great too. I liked Yoona's innocence and her slow buildup of understanding of what she has to do, and I liked that Yuri, afterwards, sees through her, but allows them to stay together.

What a really original and compelling story, all round. Even the almost minimalistic style (in the sense that so much is left unexplained) worked amazingly, in my opinion. Thanks so much for this. ♥

this story is so incredible! the use of numbers throughout the entire story is very well executed and consistent, and seven's transformation into yoona was beautiful to read. i didn't understand everything the first time, but after another reading, things are popping out at me. thank you!

Wow. This is so far the best YoonYul I've read. When I saw the prompt was "Oh!" I never expected something as darkly themed as this. It was descriptive enough to let me feel as though it was a film playing in front of my eyes, but at the same time, it was mysterious enough that it didn't insult a reader's intelligence.

It was awesome reading the transition from Seven to Yoona and how it was Yuri who was saving/helping her along.
