A Werewolf Boy

Wow I didn't expect the way, this movie's plot, would turn out! A really amazing story…

The movie is a little long and the werewolf part plays a small role in the movie, and the werewolf part was what drew my attention, but anyway…

It is a story about romance, love, betrayal, loyalty, it's funny and it is sad, makes you furies, and in general it makes you feel a lot of things.

The plot is amazing, you really see the relationship between the actors grow, change and mature, as time passes. The acting is great and the dialogue is not bad, although in some parts it is, but this doesn't change the fact that this movie is great. But let me point out as many before me did, this is not a horror movie. When I rented it I didn't read the plot so I was expecting something totally different.

When you see the word 'werewolf' in a title you expect a horror. This was not a horror, though, and neither was it thriller or suspense for that matter. Instead it was a comedy drama - and a beautiful one at that. It is a love story with a deep underlying theme: loyalty.

The werewolf story itself was not very believable and one doesn't really know if the boy is actually a werewolf or just an experiment. The 'werewolf' make-up was also very 1950-ish. The director clearly did not spend much time on effects and substituted that for a good heartwarming story. Despite that, this is a touching love story that is funny and dramatic in equal parts, and the genres blend together perfectly. This was a unique film and I enjoyed it. (If you expect werewolf transformations and gore, though, you will not find it here and might want to give it a skip.)

Agree with the previous poster that the title is somewhat misleading--the title character isn't exactly your typical werewolf, and the movie isn't really a Korean version of Twilight (except for maybe one or two scenes in the movie that were somewhat reminiscent). Rather, it's an emotional love story that will make you laugh and cry at the same time and really pull at your heartstrings, like only a classic Korean romantic film knows how to do. I watched this at my local theater, and almost everyone cried at some point during the movie--most of the girls were bawling towards the end and I noticed that even many of the guys were crying (including some middle-aged men!). If you're going to see this movie, I highly recommend taking some tissues with you.

This movie was absolutely amazing. It was more than I expected. This movie is so touching, and wonderful, it pulls at people's heart strings. It made me laugh like a madman and cry hysterically. I loved every second of it. The acting was superb! Of course, the actress Park Bo-Young was splendid, but I'd like to give props to Song Joonki (the wolf boy). It blows my mind how amazingly he can express everything through his actions and his eyes. He doesn't even need to speak, yet his performance was outstandingly breathtaking. The only thing I'd like to point out negatively was some of the graphics. I highly recommend this movie, it was breathtakingly beautiful.

I couldn't lie how I love this movie so much. I found myself enjoy watching it. There is credits to the director and two main casts who steal all the show. The relationship between soon-yi and chul-so was built really well from the beginning. How soon-yi treats him like a dog to become more than that. For me, the chemistry between Bo-yeong and joong-ki is the strongest aspect that makes this movie more alive and successful. Especially for joong-ki, he acts really convincing as an innocent wolf-boy.

Unfortunately, there is a big mistake for the make up and visual effects especially when chul-so turns into a werewolf. The visual effects look horrible and cheap, the studio should hire a professional one to make the werewolf looks real. I think visual effects in korean movie has improved nowadays and definitely not as poor as this movie has.

Beside weak visual effects, A Werewolf Boy is still a funny, beautiful and touching drama. It also very sweet and brings tears even to men. It's not the best ever korean movie for sure but it's still enjoyable to see and I personal love this movie!
