A Werewolf Boy (2012)

Intial thoughts before watching were pretty basic: I wanted to know what the hype was. I was familiar with the leads and the story seemed quite interesting.

Story (TINY SPOILERS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK ABOUT THIS STORY WITHOUT POINTING OUT SOME THINGS SO BE FAIRLY WARNED): I can't say I enjoyed the beginning because (SPOILER) it became a flashback story and for some reason I don't like those. I don't like episodes of dramas that start at the end and then rewind and I don't like movies that do it either. I enjoyed the middle, I loved the story but I didn't like the ending because (SPOILER) I didn't like him being alone. I really wanted Chul Soo to get his family and the ending goes with hating the flashback type stories.. it's just not my cup of tea. I will say the the story between the two leads left me wanting more- I wanted them together and I think that might have to do with how great Park Bo Young and Song Joong Ki sold their roles. I think the story would have been better if the ending and beginning were cut out.. sorry (not sorry).

Cast: With Park Bo Young and Song Joong Ki in it why not give it chance, right? I wasn't that impressed with Oh My Ghostess or Descendants but I did enjoy Hot Young Bloods, Strong Woman, and Running Man so I decided why not. Song Joong Ki can act, like wow- barely any lines at all but prefect deliverance. Park Bo Young really shined, too. Their chemistry was dead on, you can really buy into what they are selling. I also like seeing her as the spunky girl, it fits her "image", I guess haha. It was funny seeing Yoo Yeon Seok as the "villain" because i have only ever seen him as the good guy in Romantic Doctor and Eighteen and Nineteen.

Music:... I have no idea.. it never bothered me so I'll say it fit well.

Rewatch: Most likely- I'll probably skip the beginning or watch certain scenes but I would recommend this to my friends and anyone else who is still debating watching or not.

Overall (any last comments): I would honestly love a remake or something without the flashbacks or for these two to star together again..

This was actually my first Korean movie. I knew the movie by its title and main cast before I actually watched it.  This movie was a very popular (and still is) and holds a 100% score on Rotten tomato rating site, which is very good. The cast and acting in this movie is superb. Song Joong Ki is an outstanding actor and the role of a wolf boy Chul Soo is one of his best work so far, especially since the role was mostly based on mimick and movement of the character, with very little dialog. Joong Ki's chemistry with Park Bo Young was lovely as well. The supporting cast was nicely chosen. The story of the movie is moving with an excellent screenplay. The end had me sobbing. All in all the movie is wonderful and I warmly recommend it to any drama lover, especially to those who just started watching Korean dramas or movies.

Absolutely Saruman approved!

This movie has been the best movie I've watched during my WHOLE DRAMA life. As you can see I did say "drama life" that's because I didn't really like watching movies because they were just boring. Everything was too short and nothing actually gets explained properly. They just pull for too long.

I kinda have a change of thought now. This movie........omg!!!! This was the one I was looking for!!! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!! Everything was just perfect. Nothing was missing. You WONT get bored. I gave the music a 9.5 because it wasn't 'addictive' but it matched the movie well so....yea.

The plot is quite interesting. I haven't seen any dramas or movies like this before. That's probably why it made it even better. The actors were also perfect for this drama. I can't imagine anyone else replacing their spot.

The movie is very emotional. It could hit you any time. Omg! I don't think I've cried so much in 2 hours before. Like hard out crying. Anyone whose thinking about watching it......get your tissue box ready. I mean.....maybe 2 boxes if you think a box won't be enough.

Overall I would give this a 20/10 but sadly you can't. So yea. 10/10 it was.

The first two hours had the hallmarks of a fabulous movie. Very sweet. Do you know I have a thing for werewolves? ;)

I enjoyed the bits of Suni pouring over "The Dog Training Encycolpedia" and teaching him all sorts of tricks.

The last 40 minutes was a little surreal. Suni's very possessive landlord (the rich guy who kept turning up, saying "This is my house!" and attempting to assault her) is dead-set on getting Cheol shot. I was a little bemused of how he set that up, especially the bit where he goes into Cheol's cell, and says, "Suni doesn't like you. She hates you. Go find that guitar!" and off Cheol goes, as if he understood that perfectly.

The story became sweet after that, but the ending had elements of confusion. Did she have a vision or was it real?

But what a lovely movie. I AM IN LOVE WITH SONG JOONG KI. There was a period, where I saw him as that metrosexual, happy guy incapable of serious but MY! He has really come along in these past few years.

Two thumbs up. Watch it!

I don't know what to say, but this movie really makes my heart aches.
The feeling is like bittersweet kind of feeling..

The wolf kind of remind me of my lovely dog, his undying love, loyalty, etc. I can relate very well how the werewolf boy behave with his owner (in this case the girl that he loves), just like my lovely doggy (his name is levi), levi always wait patiently for me, if i asked him to sleep outside, he will sleep just outside of my bedroom's door. His gaze is always upon me lol. Always following me around.

Actually cannot compare the story of this werewolf boy with dog, of course. But the loyalty is there, human needs to feel ashamed of their own action. Human has too many complicated issues in life, such as money, greed, power, etc that makes them not to follow their heart, because of one ignorant and selfish person, it could make other people's fate miserable. Haiz..

Anyway, this is such a good movie, i recommend to watch is while there is raining outside just like me, i watched it in the rainy day, it makes my mood melancholic... with a good combination of this OST, ugh.. my heart aches even more..
