I LOVED THIS SO MUCH.firstly, I rarely see the theme of acting in fics and I love how you captured it with your words. I'm probably gonna ramble on because I had to take the trouble to log in and comment right after reading this on my iBooks. It made me want to go back to acting, because it's one of my ambitions to be an actress. I love how you captured the dynamic between jimin and yoongi, SPOT ON. also omg the namjin! Hehehe. You wrote it so well that I wish this was an actual movie. The ending made me tear up, how you juxtaposed a happy ending in reality with a sad ending in the movie. I love this so much, you're amazing :)

This was absolutety beautiful. The way the film plotline intertwined with yoonmin's storyline, the tackling of the taboo of homosexual relationships from such an interesting perspective, the meld between the fic characters and their movie counterparts, everything was just gorgeous. You're a talented writer and you did a great job bringing all the elements of this fic together, well done!

Ahhh. This is so cute! Of course sunshine!Jimin would have to bring out the best of raincloud!Yoongi. I also loved that Jin and Namjoon are a thing but not obviously so (unlike Jimin and Yoongi; what a way to come out boys!). Thanks for your hardwork.

this was amazing and brilliant and that little twist at the end, with seokjin and the ending, made my heart stop for a moment. i love your characterisation and writing style, thank you for this!

I am really hoping their lives don't follow their characters' beyond rekindling inspiration, because that would be way too depressing for an otherwise mellow and cute fic. ;;w;;=^..^=~

This is... wow. Just, wow. You are seriously one of the best writers I've come across on this site. Your writing style is amazing, you build the characters so perfectly and omfg. The way you had the movie woven in was freaking genius. I ended up caring just as much about those characters. I wanted to cry at the end even though it worked out for Yoongi and Jimin because what about Taesun and Sooha?! That was so sad, holy shit. My heart still hurts and I need to shut up because I'm babbling. I just really liked this story a whole lot, okay? Thank you for writing it. Bye.

I just LOVED this! The way you wrote the characters is amazing. And also the movie! tbh I would watch a movie like that if somebody made it irl haha (though I'm very happy that the story did not end like the movie) and omg what a way to come out it actually made me laugh out loud!Also I somehow guessed that the story was from Jin's experience but I didn't think you would make it Namjin so that was a nice surprise ^^

What I love the most from this work is your writing style. I love how you describe how realistic the flow of the story runs and how the interaction happens. This is not kind of our usual romantic/drama story, this is beyond that! This story is impressive, I really wants to learn a lot from you. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story. I love you!

I can't express how lovely this was holy crap. Not only how unique the story line (both story lines) but how you wrote it as well. Usually when people write alternative universes, they're not as creative as this. If a "normal" writer would have written this, instead of side dishes or banchan being the name, someone else would have named it "bangtan" or something else uncreative and I really give you props on it. The characteristics you give yoongi and jimin are so insanely perfect but the roles you had them play also fit so well??? I don't know how you did it. Thank you for writing something different. Can I ask how you got inspired for this? And is the movie in this fic based off an actually movie? Thank you again so much & I hope you have a wonderful morning/evening/night!

Oh my god! Why would you do that?! I was all la-de-fucking-da and then BANG! Punch me in the throat with feels?! Why!!! Omg! This was supposed to be a tears-free-fic! Omg! My heart hurts! I didn't even realize I was invested in the script characters until the last sentence! That was so damn sneaky! Ow.

Okay i just want to comment in here also because this is definitely going on the top ten of my favorite yoonmin and its so beautiful it inspired me to write my own fic. This one got my friend into the yoonmin world as well.I love both the yoonmin dynamics, the part where Jimin auditioned, the slight hidden Namjin being revealed at the end and the story of banchan itself. God, youre such an amazing writer i hope i could be like you T_T.

Ahh you write so well! Even though there was so little of the story of Sooha and Taesun, I still felt a connection to it and felt so sad with the ending. :( The Yoonmin was obviously also amazing! Thank you for writing and sharing.

Holy shit that was amazing! I recently got into BTS like literally a few weeks ago and since I'm a huge Namjin fan, I went and read everything with the tag. And now I've run out of Namjin fics so I was going through any BTS fics I could find and I'm so glad I did because this is amazing! I was sorta praying there was background Namjin (obviously ;;v ;;) and I was so ecstatic when there was!!!!!! Not only was the Yoonmin insanely beautiful to read, the Banchan story was just so amazing in even glimpses, I really wish it was a real movie. If I could leave a billion kudos for this fic, I would

ohhgooood Sooha died :((( if this was a real movie and I watched it, I know I'd be depressed. And I'm happy with all the characters and how they're brave enough to go against the norm and do a movie like Banchan. I was a little confused tho, so are Namjoon and Seokjin a thing? or is Seokjin only secretly in love with the brilliant director??

This was just right. Had me laughing my ass off in some places, had me tingling with feels in others. I'm so impressed that you wrote such a detailed story in the format of a one-shot, since that's not someting I can do (or most others, if I'm being honest). I end up rambling and it turns into a chaptered story lol. I love how you had snippits of the Banchan movie throughout the story. I found they reflected the actual happenings of the Yoonmin story perfectly. I must say that you encapsulated Yoongi's feelings of empathy with his characters perfectly. I've always had the utmost respect for actors because in order to fully embody a character, they have to change a part of themselves. That takes quite a toll on any actors psyche. I feel like at the beginning of this story, Yoongi was spiritually stretched thin from having to become so many different people that he didn't know who he himself was anymore. He needed someone to light a spark for him again (Jimin) and he needed someone to provide him the right opportunites(Jin with the script, Namjoon with the movie) to finally figure out who he is and who he wants to be.Let me say it takes talent to showcase how well someone is as an actor in a written fiction. Not only a written fiction but an AU fiction. You wrote a story of a real person being a character in an AU fanfiction as an actor who was acting as another character. It's like character-ception up in here and I loved the way you executed all of it. The way Jin's story's characters blended in with the characters you created for Yoongi and Jimin showed both an amazing comparison and a poignant contrast. You managed not only to keep everyone in character but to also fully embody two new characters (the actor! au characters and the Banchan story characters). Jimin's acting (especially the dead mother scene) actually gave me chills. The 'sex scene' made me laugh. You made it perfectly awkward yet dazingly romantic all at the same time. I had a feeling that the script Jin wrote was based off his and Namjoon's relationship. I was happy when you confirmed this.The ending. First of all, I'm very much a sucker for character death. I love it with all my heart even though most see that as strange and uncommon. The thing for me with this story is I was so caught up in the romantic feels for Yoonmin at the end and then you threw in the twist with Jimin's scripted character dying and I wasn't expecting it. I don't know why but I like--jerked and felt myself start to cry. The intense feelings I felt of happiness for Jimin and Yoongi being together was replaced with empathy for Taesun (as Yoongi) losing the one he loves, Sooha (as Jimin).Not only was that the perfect juxtaposition for this story but also encapsulated a strong emotion that can only be found in tragedy/character death fics: the feeling of losing the one you love the most. You not only provided the strong emotions of finally obtaining the one you love (Yoongi and Jimin) but the equally strong if not stronger emotions of losting the one you love (Taesun and Sooha). This was brilliant. And I don't say that about many one-shots. Congratulations and I hope you continue to write many wonderful fanfics in the future.

This was such a wonderful and intriguing read (even though the last 3 lines broke my heart the Yoonmin moments throughout the story mended it) This is so wonderfully written. I loved every part of it :D Thank you for writing this :D
