The story is something from a homemade fanfiction. And actually I enjoyed it, because it is simple, easy to follow and fast paced. But it does lack some more background information, and the interaction between the 2 main leads coudl have been better. And I think they could have better made a movie about this and made the story longer, like a 2,5 hour movie. I really think that would have been better.
I found the acting stiff and at times it felt awkward. The music is mostly the same but I did like it.
I really did like this drama, but I did rated it low because I have to be honest; the quality of this story and everything isn't that great.
This drama is something for you if you like easy romance and fanfictions. It is easy to follow, got some romance and vampires (and that is always good imo, haha).

I loved the action, from beginning till end I was in the movie. And I really enjoyed the funny parts! It had me lauging out loud. And the funny parts are acceptable and it is not to much.
The best thing in this movie for me where te fighting scenes! I even felt my own adrenaline rushing in those scenes!
Also this movie is serious and has a story to tell so it isn't just fun and games!
This is a action packed movie, with hilarious (acceptable) parts, a good story and in the end you'll get rammed up some feels! I would recomment anyone to watch this, this ain't a waste of time! I enjoyed this movie and rewatch this anytime!

The story is really unique in the Korean movie business. I personaly have seen many American ones about exorcism but never one in Korean, so I really liked that. It gives you from start untill end a myserious vibe. The dark themes, the buildings and actors helped greatly in giving off this creepy feeling. But, I wish they didn't threw in some unessecary things (the past of Choi & Kim VS. rest of the fathers).
The could have threw it in there, but they should have build more development around those extra side stories, so I am quite dissapointed in that.
The cast was splendid, I love Kang Dong Won's work and Park So Dam is alsy a great actress, she can fill in any type of role in a movie! Even though the action is in the last 40 minutes of the movie the actors keep you interested.
The music really fitted the 'exocrism' theme, so this also helped building up tension in this movie.
Watch this if you like exorcism and a bit gory movie.
Skip this if you expect romance and full on action.

The story was unique and I really liked it. Also the characters in the movie were amazing. They played this movie so well. And even tough the 'werewold boy' didn't say alot, he talked with his eyes. He made this movie his.
The end of the movie is surprising, that really caught me and hold me when the movie ended. I was dumbfounded.
The music fit everyscene, not all of them but the most did. I would rewatch this movie anytime. I'd recommend to everyone to watch this movie. Because the title says 'Werewolf boy' don't think this will be the same as twilight or other movies. Just watch this :)!

The story itself is very common and nothing new, I liked the characters but I also think that there could have been more of a deeper story in here. It is just missing something and I can't lay my finger on it. I do think there was loads of action and the acting was really good. But somewhere in the story I lost my intrest and felt like I missed background information about some characters.
The music fitted every scene, I would rewatch this movie, simply because it is an easy watch.
Watch this if you like Woo Bin, action and gangsters.
Skip this if you want a good deep story and good developed characters.

I would not recommend to watch this movie without watching the original series (preferably the brotherhood version or the manga).
The story is one big mess, I see what they tried to do but it failed. First of all it would have been better for the story -and character development to put this in a three or four part movie of 2 hours instead one single movie. They left out so many key-elements in the movie and on top of that, the movie didn't explain the elements that were there at all! I can imagine that someone who didn't watch the anime would drop this movie in an instant. The story was fast paced which didn't give the viewer much room to get connected to the characters or understand their actions. They also put in very important characters and didn't use them at all (like the three villains). Almost everyone was lacking a background story. The end was so extremely rushed that I felt really unfulfilled.
BUT, I really loved the tiny things that they perfectly picked up on. For example all the clothes that everyone wore, the logo's that were shown and even how some characters walked or put their glasses back on; these were spot on. I loved the scenery and the CGI wasn't bad either.
Sadly this didn't save the movie, and I am dissapointed and I really tried to like it so badly but it failed.
Watch this: If you want it to give a try.
Skip this: if you thought this would be the live-action movie of the year.

The movie will not bore you, and it will bring great action on screen, but also this movie is more than just action! It has a story behind it, and that is what this makes a good movie.
I would rewatch this movie anytime, and I wished I found out earlier about this movie. I would recommend it to anyone to watch this!

This movie sucked me in after one solid minute and liked it to the last. It made me think of movies from Donny Yen and Iko Uwais. There are too few of them and Bruce Khan delivered it for Korea.
The story: Allright, this was the only thing that was kind off lacking. We all know this setting too well (for me it works) but something else would have been nice. Also I had trouble liking the child-actress, her acting was good but the character dislikeable. One moment she appeared younger, than older, she was messy and than clean etc.
I do think that this movie could be +1 hour longer with a good story from their flashbacks, it would made this movie a whole bunch better.
But, I loved the way they directed this movie. I can see the efford they put in, trying to make one scene cuts and filming from different perspectives it gave me 100% flashbacks from the movie form Uko Uwais: Raid 1 & 2.
The acting/cast: Well I'm going to fill this part in only about Bruce Khan. He did an splendid job, having only 5 lines throughout the movie, he still managed to be understandable. Do not forget, this Bruce is 50 years old and managed to nail every form of differend forms martial arts, judo, boxing, sword fighting etc. I think that is honorable and amazing! I 100% believe that we are going to see him much more on screen, he deserves it.
The music was fitting and I would 100% rewatch this movie, solely because I love these kinds of movies.
Watch this: If you like mixed martial arts movies and if you are okay with not such an indepth storyline.
Skip this: if you can't handle blood, there is alot.

The story is easy to follow and really lighthearted. Nothing complicated or action filled here, just grab a cup of tea and enjoy this cheesy melodrama, just don't have any expectations. This is a movie you can watch without your full attention. They added the vampire part in to make it seem interesting, but it would have a good job without it.
The cast and acting was fine, nothing to write big about it was just enough for this movie. The main-leads are adorable to watch.
The music was okay and I might rewatch this movie when I feel bored.
Watch this if you are looking for a lighthearted, easy to follow, cheesy melodrama.
Skip this if you want an action packed, emotional, vampire-hunting movie.

My review is just based on the movie and I did not watch the manga nor the anime.
The story is quite unique and that is the only reason I rated it so high for my liking. Because there is no other movie like this in the world! But when it comes to the movie I miss information, I think the main lead's decisions were not logical. On the other hand I loved the special effects on the titans! They did an amazing job on that and I somehow loved the gory parts in them.
The acting was also very good, I wasn't convinced at all times or found the reaction 'realistic'. I do think they did a great job and it must have been not easy to film that all in green screen.
There is music there sometimes is does fit the scenes and in other times I found the music a bit out of place.
I would not rewatch this movie. I've seen it once and that is enough for me. But I will watch the next two parts just because I want to know if the movie will progress and becomes better.
As you see I am in a struggle here I have a hard time liking this movie, but I also can't dislike it!
Watch this if you like gore and supernatural movies.
Skip this if you want a well paced story with realistic decisions.

I liked the story and the beginning but after an hour or so it somehow takes a complete different turn. I do like plot twist that I've seen here and I didn't see them all coming so I really liked that. But somehow I felt that they wanted to put too much in such little time.
The story isn't chronical and has many loose ends.
The acting was really good in the beginning I could feel the despair by the main lead. But after a little while it became more like overreacting.
I would not rewatch this movie.
Watch this if you like a combo of many genres and like plottwists.
Skip this if you want a deep story with good character develpoment.

The story is well written, it is nothing new but it will grab your attention immediately. The emotions they acted out were raw and felt real. There is tension, actions and also blood. Some things were a bit unrealistic that bothered me sometimes but I just coudn't stop the movie, I wanted more.
The acting was amazing I was really impressed by the main lead, I loved the faces he made and I could feel the desperation.
There isn't much music at all, I wished that there was some music in some scenes so they could play with your emotions, a bit more of sad music would have liftend the movie up!
I would rewatch this movie if someone would ask me.
Watch this if you like kidnap movies, action and some gory/bloody scenes.
Skip this if you dislike gory and bloody movies.

The story is not quite unique but it has something that keeps you on your toes, it has action, trilling scenes and you want to watch more But I did think that the way of filming this, was different it gave me a headache. Also I did feel like they focussend on some things far to much than what was the main topic. Lastly I also found it at times really confusing.
On those note I found the actors really amazing, this movie could become a big 9 if it just had a less confusing way of moviemaking/filming.
The music fittend every scene.
I would not rewatch this movie, I loved the twist at the end at it finishes the movie quite nicely, but after that it isn't that nescescarry to watch the movie again.
Watch this if you like a complicated movie with a twist.
Skip this if you are looking a good story that is chronological and doesn't involve kidnappings.

It is your typical romance movie that is for sure. And all the common cliché's are included.
I felt that the story (even though the movie was 2 hours long) was rushed.
I also clearly saw some movie mistakes that shouln'd have been there. Also I felt that the emotions were really shallow in this movie. I really didn't feel involved and at times my phone seemed more interesting than the movie.
This movie would have been better if they put more time into the character development and into their actions, emotions and in the overall story because it was sometimes was really unrealistic.
I would not rewatch this movie, maybe watching this with a friend but I would never turn it on for my self again.
Skip this if you don't like the typical romantic movie with all the cliché's.
Watch this if you like romantic and cute movies.

The story is about an apocalypse. It had potential but they messed this movie (sadly) up in different ways.
First, the leads acting feels really weak and they don't move me at all. The main character is stumbling around, falling down, and then waddling around on the ground like an invalide thoughout the whole movie (and I am not overreacting I do think in the whole movie he fell down like 50 times).
Second, we're missing a good story or plot here and I don't think their actions or anything what happend was realistic. It was sometimes so boring that I skipper some scenes.
And thirth I didn't like the music at all, somehow it didn't fit the scenes.
The most annoying thing is that movie had real potential! The scenery was very good (some special effects too) but they didn't do anything with it, if it would have a more interesten story and better actors (IMO) it would have been a good movie.
Watch this if you like apocalypse movies.
Skip this if you are looking for a great story with amazing acting.
