A Werewolf Boy (2012)

I didn't watch very many Korean movies prior to this one, generally stuck with the dramas, but the hype for it lead me to give it a shot. Not to mention the fact that Song Joong Ki was starring.

Overall the movie was a piece of art. It was quite the emotional movie, and it was definitely well cast, well acted, and well executed. I loved the combination of Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young, they had great chemistry and their emotions really touched me as the audience. In particular, Joong Ki was simply amazing, no disappointment in that at all. The amount of emotion he pulls off without any lines...speechless.

Definitely recommend watching this movie, beware of tears though, dunno about everyone else but I definitely shed my fair share. It was just such a touching movie.

The only reason this movie did not get all 10 stars from me was because of the ending. This movie was slow moving but not boring. The story was heart warming yet also heart wrenching. Song Joong Ki was amazing in his silence. His animal like behavior was believable and not over done. Believe it or not, this is the first movie I have watched featuring him. I think this role tells me more about his acting than any 'speaking' role could have. He has some depth to him that I did not expect. As always I enjoyed Park Bo Young, but she was just an additive to this storyline. By that I mean she was just a beautiful decoration to the werewolf (Song Joong Ki) storyline. Of course that is just my opinion. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys bittersweet love stories. Get the tissues ready and enjoy.

1. STORY
Right at the beginning of the movie, after seeing the main lead actress we might know the ending directly, at least we might know good ending or bad ending.
But I loved watching it, like how they fell for each other, their romantic chemistry, even though the boy couldn't talk!
I cried at the ending.
2. ACTING/ CAST
Bo Young did a great job.
Joong Ki did an excellent job. How could you act that good Joong Ki?
The rest were pretty good too.
3. MUSIC
I loved the song which Soon Yi sang with the guitar. What a beautiful song for a beautiful movie!
4. REWATCH VALUE
I'm not sure about this cause if I rewatch it I'll have to cry again
5. OVERALL (please don't read if you haven't watch it, SPOILERS AHEAD)
Hmmm 9.5 cause I can't stand how she went away, left the boy again, alone... And how long will he have to live on? He didn't turn old or something... but I have to admit it makes the story feel much more painful.

This is honestly one of the most emotional movie's I have ever seen. I have re-watched this a couple times. This is the first movie that made me feel so much pain and sorrow that it almost made me cry. This movie tells a story of an old lady's past. The storyline is honestly one of the best I have seen in a film. I loved how the relationship of mutual affection between werewolf boy and the lead girl slowly progressed throughout the plot. The acting in this film was brilliant it was amazing to see how the lead actor turned his character to life. His acting skills were extremely impressive as he had to act like an animal through his body language and facial expressions . This movie was really touching and it made me think about life. I would definitely recommend people to watch this film. More detailed version is on my blog.

It was beautiful

I cannot believe you can watch this movie for free on tubi, it's so well done. I was hasty watching this, since it was morning and I was busy. I skipped some scenes but honestly the story still made sense, which is a very hard thing for movies to accomplish. Even though I didn't watch all the parts, I know that the vibes, the plot, and the characters are all so meaningful and I am absolutely in love with this movie. I don't think i saw the actor for the male lead before, but his acting was so excellent! The cinematography and the music was so beautiful and I cannot emphasize this enough. The story was so fragile and lovely but also sad, I could not stop crying at the end. I was in love with this whole movie.! Please do give this hidden gem a try, and trust me you won't regret it.

Superb Acting

When I saw this movie, I didn't know who Song Joong-ki is. Yet I was utterly impressed with his acting in this movie. To play a role without saying a word, requires more from the actor. Unlike theater, you can't make your movements big or exaggerated. Eventhough cinematography, music, lighting, etc. plays a big role in a scene and movie in totality -- viewers see more of the acting than the complementing factors in making a movie interesting and engaging. Song Joong-ki gave justice to the character and was effective in the role. The scene where he was tamed by Park Bo Young seemed real with their cohesive acting. It's like a concert -- musical instruments played timely at the conductor's command.

The acting is so engaging that I was ushered to see beyond it. I saw, heard and understood more. I like how it evoked my own perception, emotion and interpretation of the subject.

One of the great Korean movies I have seen, by far!

A masterpiece from the early years of our most beloved Korean A-list actors.

This was one of the first Korean movies that I watched a few years ago and to this day, I have left a little spot in my heart for this masterpiece. We have all seen animal-turned-human concept before, but not quite like this. The movie has an overall darkness to it that you can't shake off and makes you not want to blink for a second. So much is conveyed through the actors eyes and it felt like you were there with them through it all.

This is at the tip top of my Korean Movie recommendations and I don't think it can ever be replaced. Get your tissues and some popcorn ready because you are in for a ride!

Didn't think I'd cry so much T^T

Excellent mystery and the two main leads, Park Bo Young and Song Joongki made me feel everything from love to sadness.

The ending... God.

Anyway, my kinda love story with plenty of heartache and passion.

The length of the movie was about 2 hours which is a good duration to really get attached to the characters and the creators did it so well and the casting was good too.

Yeon Seok as the villain gave a powerful performance as the self serving antagonist.

But the real strength of the story was the bond between Bo Young and Joongki, they are both so beautiful no doubt but more than that they brought their characters to life.
