review 1: I would give it 0.5 star but apparently I can only tap a whole star. I don't know why it was rated at an average of 4+ but this story just didn't make any sense.NOTE: A LOT OF HATRED CAN BE READ BELOW. I'M NOT REALLY AN ONLINE BASHER BUT MY HEART AND MIND CAN'T JUST STAY CALM. I've read this story (book version) months ago because of a friend and it never left my mind. I have to give my opinion about this. Luckily, I found it here. This is my first ever review in Goodreads so here goes...First, why are the characters Korean? Tell me. Because I don't understand. It's surreal. I can give them a pass but nah. I guess the author is just living in her own fantasy world which will not gonna happen...ever.Second, there was the annoying Korean characters where nobody can read. It ... morewas a waste of space. And then after the characters, they put a translation. What the heck! It was so much easier for the author to describe the characters that they were speaking in Korean. I swear, MOST of the author's readers can't also read a single character.Third, the main character's character was not justified. Why? Because she described herself as this quiet, uncaring, uninterested girl but there's a lot going on in her mind. She's very talkative and she knows A LOT. And those words are opposite of each other. See? "Uninterested" IS NOT EQUAL TO "All-knowing". Fourth, HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE BECAME A WHOLE NEW PERSON JUST BY USING A MAKE-UP? A gangster, really? Is the author even serious about that? What the heck was that? Did she wear a make-up just like McDonalds? Coz if she did, I won't ask anymore. But if you picture her as a pretty woman, WOW. I want to know what make-up she's using. I'm gonna use it, too.Fifth, very unrealistic timeline and plot. She's sixteen if I remember correctly. And sometime in her past, she's a gangster. And that was exactly 10 years ago. How old is she then? Well, my math skills aren't that perfect but I can subtract and add. And the result was 6! Seriously? At 6 yrs old, she's already a gangster? And there's more. She's not only an ordinary member, SHE'S THE LEADER. Oh my God. Seriously. I. Just. Can't... I can't even remember what I'm doing when I was 6 yrs old!!!Sixth, unbelievable romance. Ugh. Highschool stuff is cheesy but I didn't really believe in their "romance". There's no further emotion aside from flirting. Yes, the words were there. The "I love you" and "I love you, too" stuff. But what I'm saying is that the words didn't justify the actions. I guess the Filipino term was "HUGOT". I didn't see that in the story. The romance was "pushed and made" when it should be "grown and nourished".Yeah. I guess I can say that I'm a hater because of what I wrote above but this story shouldn't be on shelves. It was under-developed. It was a mess. And it deserves to be polished. Over a million reads on Wattpad shouldn't be the basis of publishing books but that right must've taken with responsibility. The author should've checked and corrected the errors because it will leave a mark in the industry for a long time...maybe even forever.
review 2: First few pages sumakit na ang puso ko. Pwede bang umiyak? Na-invade na ng mga koreano ang librong ito!Hiatus muna ako. Again. I never do hiatus whenever I read a book. Pero nakakalungkot lang na parang hindi ko magawa sa sarili ko ang tapusin ito.Sigurado ako na ang mga ganitong libro ay patok na patok para sa mga k-pop fanatics. I'm not a fan of kpop nor against it pero ang akin lang, since nasa pinas ka at pilipino rin ang nagbabasa, stick to that. Stick to the culture. Stick to be a FILIPINO! Siguro ako lang 'to, pero I am very a patriotic person. Hindi ko mapigilang malungkot sa tuwing nakakabasa ako ng ganito, making the other nation superior to your own story? Not my cup of tea. Ang bigat sa dibdib. Ang bigat bigat. Okay lang sana ang half half, pero pala kapag yun lang lagi hindi na maganda. Hindi na ako magtataka kung isang araw purong koreano na o hapon ang bida sa mababasa ko sa mga story. Pinapayaman lang natin ang kultura nila at binabaliwala ang atin. Nakakaiyak. I cry for my own country. less
