1: "Wow that was wonderful"
2: "That was such a simple plot"
Yes this movie doesnt have such a complicated plot but it doesnt mean it wasnt still amazing!
It definitely didnt have the dark tone I was waiting it to have.Sure it was sad and tear-jerking towards the middle but it wasnt that scary.
This is most of the time more romance than supernatural,but the werewolf part of the plot gave this movie a original,unique freshness that we needed in our Korean movies.
This movie was much anticipated and was loved by the viewers and in my opinion it deserves every inch and drop of that love.

The acting skills of the cast was superb especially song joong ki , although he didnt even talk much his facial expressions said it all , i could feel his love , his anger , his saddnes through his eyes without even saying a word . this is the first time i see joong ki and iam glad that i had a chance to see his acting skills
The music was good , didnt stick with me but it was good
The story was very good ( felt alittle bored at some parts but it didnt bother me at all :D ) and i loved the ending by the way
Overall if you havent seen this movie yet go and see it even if you dont like these kind of movies , joong ki will make you fall in love with it ( like i did :D )

You'd think this was a romance between a werewolf and a human, I thought that too. But this movie taught me once and for all that I should never judge a book by it's cover. The love that two people share doesn't always have to be romantic. The bond that was shown between the leads is beautiful in every aspect. I wouldn't say the story of the movie is exactly anything special, no; but the way it was written, the execution, it was heart wrenching.
The actors who've played the leads were probably made for doing these roles, they were that good. Song Joong Ki (I've honestly never seen his work before, which was good in a way, I want to remember him as Cheol Soo) was fantastic. It's indescribable how his performance effected me. I don't mean it as an insult but I was reminded of my pet dog (I love him more than anything in this world, so it's a compliment in a warped way). After watching the movie I can finally understand what all the fuss about Park Bo Young was. She's brilliant. The supporting cast did a great job too.
Like I said before, for me, this wasn't a romantic tale. It went deeper than that. I was reminded of all the unconditional love that is not a myth. You can witness this love every time you come home and find your dog waiting for you, you can feel this love every time you scold your dog but he still wags his tail excitedly when you pet him. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way implying that Soo Yi treated Cheol Soo as a pet, not in the literal sense of the word. They were companions who made each other's lives better without asking for anything in return. I refuse to label it as a romance. It just reminded me of the love I felt for my dog, and me saying this is the highest level of appraisal I can give.
You don't have to agree with my opinion of what this movie was, but you definitely need to watch this movie to find out what it meant for you. Although I'm sure that you'll love it either way. I wouldn't bawl my eyes out and almost choke myself crying if it wasn't worth it.

STORY
As far as I have watched Korean movies, the story is not cliche. Set in the past, it gives the audience a nostalgic feeling. With a lovable heroine and innocent hero, the story was well balanced. The villain is driven by jealousy which is familiar with Korean audience but the way it was executed was excellent (especially the resolution). Some might not like the ending, but I definitely loved it. With the hero's character overcoming all the struggles just to fulfill his promise, it was superb.
ACTING
I love Song Joong Ki. He gave Chul Soo a color no other actor could give. It's not easy to standout in a film with a very few lines yet he managed to do so. Park Bo Young's acting was heartfelt.
REWATCH VALUE
Definitely must re-watch.

Male lead did a good job - didn't expect him, with his boyish face and demeanor, to be able to pull this role off, but he did it well. Bit of a sad ending, as was to be expected of these kind of movies, but round of applause for a brave director and actors for exploring this genre of film. This is definitely a different kind of movie from the normal run-of-the-mill type of films that are churned out all the time for the majority of viewers. Try this if you're looking for something different on a rainy day.

Tragically Perfect
I really don't know exactly where to begin. It was all so perfect yet so horrible! If you're looking for a happy ending TURN BACK! Song Joong nailed his role flawlessly. How little he spoke, he was still able to show so much emotion and it all pulled at my heartstrings. The plot was amazing, until you get to the end. I have a love hate relationship with this movie cause with my common sense I feel like you should never abandon something you love, human or animal. I almost cried but I held it when I realized my frustration with the ending. Wonderful movie none the less and recommend the watch. My re-watch value is the same as watching Titanic...I gotta be in the mood to cry lolWas this review helpful to you?

Ending
I love this movie but the ending ticked me off. I like how she met him again as a grandmother but I personally think that they should've met earlier and gotten together rather than Sunyi turning old and marrying someone else. Although the Cheolsu could end up with Sunyi's grand daughter, i still feel like the connection between them wouldn't be as strong since she's not Sunyi herself and doesn't share the same past even though they share the same face. Not sure if im the only one who thinks this way but love the casting! Both my favourite actors :)Was this review helpful to you?
