This movie might have worked as a 12 or even 6 episode drama. But as a movie, it just falls flat with no substance. It's just a really cheesy and cliché love triangle flick. Just about everything about this flick is so darn pretentious and sappy, I got tired of it early on. Maybe it might have worked for the early or even late 90's maybe. But for a movie that came out in 2004, it's pretty bad. The plot is about two popular guys in high school liking one mundane and annoying girl that can't make up her mind. And just goes back and forth and back and forth. Oh and these pretty boys knows how to fight...What a shocker. It's like they came up with bunch of cliché scenarios but didn't know how to proficiently connect it all into a 2 hour movie. Girls might dig this flick because it has Kang Dong-Won in it with a pointless scene with him running while holding the hand of a girl in the rain. Which is one of his trademark scenes in his career, but when it comes to the story for that scene it goes nowhere. I was like, so what was the point of that? Overall, it might be a passable one watch deal but when it even comes to sappy romance movies, this one falls short.

4/10

My motif to see this movie was mainly Kang Dong-Won, who is one of the two lead actors of this film. I first saw him in the movie "Maundy Thursday" aka "Our Happy Time", and thought he did a convincing job (movie recommended!). KDW shot to stardom when he appeared in "A Romance of Their Own", and even took home an award for best new-comer. When I saw this movie, however, I must say that I was kind of disappointed.

The acting overall was flat, and the story felt rushed, not to say cliché and often times off-putting. People who are familiar with Korean dramas/movies will definitely recognize the formulas used here.

However, I still have to give kudos to the choreographer of the fight scenes used in this movie. It was quite exciting to watch, although a bit short. As to why the movie is called "Temptation of Wolves", I do not know, but the beginning credits do show us the sun setting and the cry of a wolf! The first half of the movie was upbeat and refreshing, with a touch of naiveté. The second half, however, dragged on too long, and the plot became too troublesome, so that somehow the ending made sense.

It's nice to see a romantic comedy that does not have the prissy man lead, this has solid acting from both male leads and also from the female lead and although the story is a little long and a little cliché you cant help but like it.

I think the story was a little rushed at the end, but extending that would have made the story even longer. Superior to other romantic comedies such as 100 days with Mr arrogant, and possibly tied with my tutor friend.

It would make an interesting introduction to Korean cinema, not as great as My sassy girl, but still good.

An innocent girl come seoul to stay with her mother & half( step) siblings ,then she one day meet in school suddenly with one guy who not only know her well but also suddenly start soo much care about her but she not remember about him ,soo slowly story as go further & further we know why this guy Tae care about her( Nuna) amazing movie with great story( Taboo subject)

Most comments mention "cliches". I generally preffer to watch movies or series without thinking if what I'm watching had been used in an other production. I did the same with this one. I have to say that I really liked the general concept of the story, even though it's not the type of movies I like to watch (I thought that this is mainly a comedy). But I find the execution to be bad. Poor acting, bad directing and the pace is mental. It should have been slower so we can appreciate and better understand the scenes. Of course this would require some scenes to be excluded and there are some (mainly the fight scenes) that could be left out. 4 stars for the story
