Nostalgic!

I remember reading the novel when I was in junior high school and I'm really into it. One of the most memorable novels I've read. The story was just perfect, with no other complicated background and ending.

Song Joongki really did a great job to portray a wild werewolf boy that has a warm heart and sincerity. It's more than a romance story.
Park Boyoung, her acting always had a way to make me cry a river. Her 'Sun Yi' was just perfect.

When I read the novel at night, I remember going to school with swollen eyes in the morning.

One of the things that I won't regret in my life was deciding to borrow this novel from my school library and decided to watch the movie.

Amazing!

This is my favorite Korean movie! I love this movie so much, everything from mostly the story to how great the actors were at portraying their roles! This movie made me cry so hard though. The only thing that's so annoying about it is that since the biggest part of the movie is a flashback from the elderly lady, it has this sort of filter to make it look old. Which I guess they really tried to make it look like a flashback, but it would've been better if they would've just put something maybe like a sign that read the date or something. Because it has this old quality to it and I would've loved it if it had like better quality. But the storyline is great, and I absolutely loved it!

Absolutely a Work of Art

With an all star cast, wonderful writing, and beautiful score, this film takes you to a place of wonder.

You can definitely tell that the writing team loved this project, and you can tell the cast really embodied their roles to their best. Although this film has been out for several years now, every time I watch it, it feels like the first time. That's just how good it is.

A genuinely heartwarming story of first love, family, and beginning life after tragedy, this film will make you laugh and cry.

I kept seeing things about this movie online and how it was a hit, staring parkboyoung and songjoongki so I thought I'd give it a watch. It was amazing!

I loved the plot about the female lead attempting to make the boy civilised and she gets drawn to him and his innocent ways. I liked the characters development of the leads evokes a ray of emotions off the audience. he display of events and the cting overall is professional I was gripped and didn't get bored once when watching this, I now understand why this is so renowned! I recommend this movie for anyone who!

The research value is around about a 5 because I personally do not rwatch dramas unless they are my favourite ones (only ever rewatched 3 dramas)

One of the first K-drama films i've watched and i thoroughly do , will remember the experience ..
The film is exceptionally well taken , written and performed ! Every single person in the cast did their roles to the fullest and the story telling is very very good . okay , were-wolf x human , the romance , friendship and bond between the two is so organic that you just can-not not wish to see more , the chemistry is beyond beautiful ! Joong ki owned the character to the core and carried out the role to the fullest ! Everything was so good even amazing until the climax , okay i understand , upto some extent this was needed but really , why ?! why did you have to ruin it for me ?! the ending is the only reason i gave a 6 for the story ... the bond was so special that i was literally praying for a happy ending for them , yeah this is a kinda happy ending sure , but it's just so unfair :( . All in all , great movie , a must watch!

This movie was OUTSTANDING in both acting and story line. All though Chul Soo doesn’t talk throughout the movie until the very end, I was able to read and feel his emotions by the look in his eyes in ever scene. That’s how good Song Joong Ki’s acting was. This would probably be one of those movies that will re-play in my mind with all the what-ifs for some time, which also make that ending most heart breaking but excellent as well. The only reason I rate the re-watch as 5/10 is because I avoid re-watch ANY movies or dramas no matter how good it was.

Song Joong Ki as a pining wolf boy in the '60s countryside: a "must see" ^^

The story is centred around the encounter in the '60s in the countryside of a young woman and a "wolf boy", a young man clearly not used to human interactions and society rules. I loved a lot the premise of this movie as well as its setting in the past. It allowed a certain suspension of disbelief. What could seem impossible made indeed much more sense in the context of a small rural village in the sixties and after the war context. Story-wise, it was fascinating to see the development of the relationship between the two main protagonists. The only little default is the "contemporary" storyline which I felt did not add much to film overall.

This movie is starring some actors and actresses that I generally like. The pairing between Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young works pretty well. The first one manages to transmit a lot of emotions without any need for dialog, the viewer is able to see everything through the eyes of his character. The second one does also a very good job as the central figure to the story, with a lot of poignant scenes successfully acted. Yoo Yeon Seok was excellent: I was quite shocked to see him in an antagonist role and he surpassed my expectations playing a despicable character. Jang Young Nam, in a supporting role, gives once again a great performance as the motherly figure trying her best to make lemonade with the lemons that life gave her.

Though some of the visual effects feel a bit outdated, the production value is pretty good overall. I found the sceneries and decors really well made: some were frightening and providing a chilling atmosphere, some were heart-warming and bright. There is one specific scene where music is particularly important that I liked a lot. The remaining soundtrack was not necessarily memorable.

I would recommend this to people looking for a good movie, well-acted with an interesting plot balancing pretty well several genres. It is a quite surprising and effective melange of slice-of-life and fantasy with some elements of thriller and romance. If you love one of the actors/actresses of the cast, it is a "must see". Strangely enough, even if the scenario has nothing to do with it, it kind of remind me in a way of "Titanic" in terms of relationships, characters and plot structure.

Story. The story was great. It reminds me of the movie Danny the Dog. But of course they have different story. This one is a wolf boy who was used in experiment. I love the story, there was suspense, and then it turns out cute until.... the saddest part... *no spoiler*... But, I feel like crying. It was hard for Her to do that to him. That moment I don't know what I want her to do. It's like choosing what the heart says or the brain says.

Anyway, I just feel disappointed in the ending. It will be better if it is sad or happy ending. But that was just my point.

Acting/Casting. The Wolf boy is so HANDSOME and CUTE. I love him. And he suits well with the girl. I really love the climax scene. They act great there. I can really the pain they had in their heart.

I liked this movie a lot, it was very touching.
If you like romantic films you'll like it, the cast was fantastic, also if you're a person who easy cries you'll cry (I did).

Joong Ki & Bo Young were impressive, it was my first time seeing them acting and I would give them a 9/10. After I saw this film I saw other work of them.

Really recommendable.

The story was really touching, although it wasn't the most impressionable of plots. But it is interesting enough, and I can guarantee you will not be bored. The show starts off light-hearted, but of course, that does not continue for long. A qualm I have with the show is that it is lacking a little in the character development, particularly the main villian's obsession with the lead girl and his motivations. But I suppose this IS a 2 hour long movie, and the development of the main characters and their relationships should be the focal point of the show.

And, kudos to the actors! They have really carried the story along well, and I was really impressed with the acting here, especially that of Song Joong Ki. His role as a werewolf is, if anything, unique. Nevertheless, he pulled it off really well :)

The music was okay, but then again, when I watch shows, I don't really notice the OST unless it is REALLY good. I don't remember much about the music, but I guess the music served its role well and was appropriate.

I have recently rewatched this again, and I am not one for rewatching shows, so I would rate the rewatch value of this highly. Although I have forgotten most of the story, I distinctly remember the heart-rending sorrow I felt come the end of the show, and how I have sobbed and sobbed my heart out.

If what you want is a good cry and catharsis, look no further! If you are not looking to end up as a teary mess, then I suggest you give this show a miss. But, by all means, go ahead and give this a try! :)

This is different from most korean shows I have seen so far in that apart from its sentimentality and tragic elements, I find that it has a backbone. What I mean is that while this show definitely aims to cater to the audience and provide them the fluff and catharsis they desire, it also gets you thinking, even if it's just a little. Watch for yourself, and perhaps you will see what I mean. :)

A movie that dosen't make you wonder 'where is the music,its so plane,i'm bored'. Many times my problem with movies is that even high rated movies do that is that they drag the scenes for too long...in this case its not like that, the scenes are almost drama like- almost....
The story - as realistic as it can get with that kind of plot...great story
Acting/Cast - DOTS made think that Song Joong Ki was overrated but this movie changed my mind...kinda, The female lead's acting A+ the old lady breaks your heart
actress is on point...loved the old lady...
Music- made the feels more intense....only one thing to say...good job...
Rewatch Value - yeah i would rewatch this again
Overall- great movie!I didn't even skip a scene witch often happens to me if a movie drags a scene too long... WATCH IT!
