    Nice romantic fantasy

    The title is misleading because he isn't exactly a werewolf and it isn't a horror movie. It is called Wolf Boy in Korea, which is a much better name. The main part of the movie is about socializing a feral child and the sweet relationship that develops between him and his adopted family, especially the older daughter. Although there are elements of fantasy toward the end of the story, enjoyment of the movie doesn't depend on that.

    The cinematography is lovely and the acting is excellent, except for the villain being a little over the top. Although the movie seems to be geared toward teens and young adults, it is also entertaining for mature audiences who like a classic kind of emotional ride.

    Neuk-dae-so-nyeon (2012)

    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.

    beautiful movie :)

    this is a beautiful yet sad movie. song joongki gave a brilliant acting here although he was almost stayed silent throughout the movie. his gestures and stares are so intense and full of details. amazing. you gotta watch the film! i'm sure by watching this, you'll grow fond to chungsoo character and hate jitae as much as i am. hahaha. oh and please don't compare this to twilight. they are obviously different. i prefer this movie a lot rather than twilight. A Werewolf Boy is just so funny and heartwarming on the first half of the movie. But when it hits the second half, well you may be as well as crying and dying inside. it's such a tear-jerker movie. great movie after all :)

    A beautiful movie!

    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.

    A heartwarming story that made even some middle-aged men cry

    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.

    • Quotes

      Soon-Yi: Gran, wanna see this?

      Older Sun-yi: What a good-looking young man.

      Soon-Yi: He is, isn't he?

      Older Sun-yi: Does he come from money?

      Soon-Yi: I don't think so.

      Older Sun-yi: Then just have a little fun and dump him.

      Soon-Yi: But he's so good to me.

      Older Sun-yi: Be good to him. Men love getting compliments. When you grow up you see things that you didn't used to see. Knowing more might seem good, but it turns you into a coward. It only happens once in your lifetime, and it never comes back.
