siderite The movie was nice for most of the time, although the Asian unconsumed love tension thing gets boring after a while. I am not even sure it was a romantic movie, as all the other commentators seem to think; friendship, yes.The biggest problem for me was the more than two hours running time. For a movie that was pretty clear on what it was about and how things are going to proceed, waiting so long to see how it ends was a chore. Another issue for me is that the main female character was not as interesting as her mother, who in fact was the catalyst of the entire thing.I liked some concepts in the film though: the immortal intelligent boy who looks like a man, but feels like a wolf, for example. This alone should have been enough to provide the backdrop of the story; no transformations necessary. The werewolf as a pack member, not a maniacal killer, was a nice idea, too. I also liked that they did not try to explain what happened to him or to give him allergies to silver or anything like that.All in all something that is not really a love story, has nothing to do with Twilight, it's a bit over dramatic - Korean style, but reasonable. Its length is the biggest flaw; a re-cutting of the film might make it more palatable.

Chadwick Ahn "Don't go."A romantic film without a single kiss. It's an amazing feat, especially for a film so critically acclaimed. A Werewolf Boy is a Korean film about the forbidden love between a werewolf and a young girl. While the premise may seem shallow and overdone, A Werewolf Boy goes a completely different direction from the Hollywood stories. A sickly girl, Soon-yi (Park Bo-young), moves with her family to an open countryside, where they encounter a homeless boy with wolf/dog like behaviors. The family decides to take care of the young man for the time being, giving him the name, Chul-soo (Song Joong-ki). Soon-yi "trains" Chul-soo, resulting in the growth of a beautiful bond between master and boy.The film may start slow for some, but the first half is filled with many charms, usually just from simple interactions. Song Joong-ki does a very convincing job acting like a wild canine, especially considering that most of his acting comes from facial expressions and body language alone. A lot of the early lighthearted humor comes from him scoffing down meals and fetching objects. Strangely enough, seeing him act like a dog doesn't seem a bit ridiculous whatsoever. Even though Soon-yi initially treats Chul-soo like a pet, their relationship steadily turns into something more: he is a (good looking) human being after all. The chemistry between the two characters and two actors work perfectly. Basically the first half of the film is innocent fun, mainly strengthening the ties between Soon-yi and Chul-soo in order to make their conflicts more devastating. And Park Bo-young, with her superb acting, really sells the devastation.A Werewolf Boy easily succeeds in creating a really despicable villain character. Ji-tae, a son of a rich family, stops at nothing in order to get rid of Chul-soo and claim precious Soon-yi as his own. It's safe to say that the film builds up Ji-tae to be a bit too nasty, to the point where I found myself constantly wishing for him to just rollover and die. The antagonist almost seems to come straight out from a play, where his actions and mindset are cranked to extreme levels of arrogance and evil. I hate him more than Joffrey from Game of Thrones.While the film is geared towards young women, it still has the potential to be entertaining for men as well. The film is a lot deeper than your average love story, relying more on character development, story, and emotional turmoil rather than CGI, love making scenes, and fantasy action. Viewers not only see the bond between Soon-yi and Chul-soo, but feel it as well. However, the very end of the film is slightly disappointing and has a missed opportunity to really sink in the emotions and leave the story with some mystery. Even so, A Werewolf Boy is most definitely a better love story than Twilight.

Denise Tan Wow. This movie was just simply lovely, honestly I haven't watched a movie this wonderful since Sunny. I enjoyed Werewolf Boy on so many levels, that I personally think whatever movie I watch here after is going to have a hard time following up. ending to this movie (according to my friend) **SPOILERS AHEAD**I personally felt as though the end of the movie took a risky turn. The movie ending with Park Bo Young's character leaving Song Joong Ki, and moving out into the world, getting married and even having a grandchild. What broke me was that when she returned to the house years later he was there waiting for her, he hadn't aged and was wearing the same clothes she found him in, while she had aged and lived her life to the fullest. It highlighted one of things most people hate to admit and avoid realizing, through time, no matter how much you love a person, slowly they become only a memory. Honestly this really upset me, for the whole day after the movie I tried to wrap my head around the reason why the director would leave such a sad ending. Until my sister pointed out that, yes Suni did move on with her life, Chul Soo didn't. Many people we meet in our lives will become a memory to us, but that there are people who will be stay, never changing and awaiting our return. And with that I say, FOUR FOR YOU JO SUNG HEE! YOU GO JO SUNG HEE! Sorry, I'm slightly tired writing this review. Seriously though, this was a great movie, beautifully shot, amazingly written, a wonderfully portrayed through many talented actors and actresses.Everyone should watch this movie when they get an opportunity. Park Bo Young was endearing as Suni, what started off as a troubled and hurting teenage girl transformed into a warm and spirit filled women. But it was of course Song Joong Ki and his scenes with Park Bo Young that captivated me. What surprised me the most about Song Joong Ki was that you could literally count the lines he had in the movie on two hands. Yet he was able to convey so much emotion simply by his interactions with Park Bo Young. His eyes spoke louder then any amount of words could ever convey. Never have I been so captivated by any one character in a movie. I was actually unaware of this but CGV Cinema actually released an alternate

Dasom Song 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.
