i spent the first half of the fic wondering if this was a weekend au and then when i realized it was, i was a bit more critical but i didn't really like it much at all. too much a copy of the movie and its characters (especially wrt baekhyun) and not enough of their real selves in it. it was long but it felt really rushed and drawn out, both at the same time. i've liked a lot of her other fic but i was v. disappointed :(
Re: ITT Last fic you read and what you thought of it
wait what it's a movie au? i really did adore the idea and the fic but yeah baekhyun's characterization was a whole lot of "huh??? where did that come from"
damn now i'm disappointed :(
Re: ITT Last fic you read and what you thought of it
also yes yes that is my exact problem with movie/book aus. i really like it when people use a movie/book as a means of world-building but when you're basically borrowing everything from the source material (+ if if i've seen/read it already) it puts me off :(
