Tears - 9, 10

좀..진부해서 환불함 ㅠㅠ 루시랑 비교해서는 많이 진부한 편....일러스트 퀄도 그렇고 음성 유무도 그렇고 루시가 훨씬 재미있음. ㅠㅠ

보면서 욕을 참을 수 없었고 욕 밖에 할 수 없었던게 너무 싫었던 이야기

It is a quite depressive visual novel. I have to admit I don't quite like the story. I think it is a little bit poor-written, and the English translation aren't good. Also, the end of the plot is kind of unclear... Nonetheless, the social problems posted in the story are quite real, both in the age this got originally published (2002) and today. [spoiler] Also, the China problem isn't getting any better ... [/spoiler] As for the music... The music pieces are fine albeit unpolished. But in my humble opinion, it would be a lot better if some dynamic range compressors are applied to the background music.

옛날생각이나서 구매한 작품. 가격이 생각보다 비싸서 못사고 있었는데 반값할인하길래 바로구매함. 내용은 뭐... 나쁘지 않았다. 나이먹고 다시봐도 나쁘지 않았다. 학생때는 여운이 좀 갔었는데 지금은 뭐 그런건 없다... 내용중 이해가 안가는게 있는데 연지가 중국으로 돌아갔는데 다음장면에 갑자기 죽었단다... 왜지?;;; 모바일에선 설명이 있었던거 같은데 여긴 일기장을 봐도 안나온다..;; 누가좀 알려줘~~~~~~~~~~~

A short, sweet, and depressing visual novel that is good for the price. The English translation is iffy, but is still readable and you'll fully understand what is being said. Go out and get this visual novel, anons! Because I'll still be feeling after this one.

Cute character and excellent story. I really love it.

I've always wanted to play this ever since it popped up in the Google Play store, and I'm now glad that it's now on Steam. Tears 9, 10 is possibly the first Korean visual novel I've ever played. For its short length, the story itself is substantial, and I can't help but sympathize with Yeonji, the heroine, as she carries on her own struggles. [spoiler]And for a Korean visual novel originally released in 2002 with illegal immigration as one of its major themes, the events depicted there sure come as harsher in hindsight with the issues surrounding illegal immigrants in the US today.[/spoiler] All in all, this is a timeless tale with lessons we can learn, especially with all the societal issues still plaguing us today.
