A Werewolf Boy (2012)

Best movie I've ever seen. made me bawl my eyes out, but I loved it. I'd give it a 1000/1000 but 10/10 is the limit here. This is my favorite movie from now on.

I can't imagine people hating on this movie because they're wrong totally completely wrong. This movie touched my heart man. I loved this movie because it's nostalgic and cute. Very darn cute and sweet. Sad as well, but who cares this movie is the bees knees. The plot and everything is so perfect. Song Joong Ki is an amazing actor truthfully! Love him and this movie. Throughout the movie I was laughing and crying like a baby. It made me tear up really tear up. Seriously, this is the movie all of you guys need to watch as soon as possible, or right now. Watch it right now people. What are you waiting for?

Fmovies: This is not a werewolf movie, nor is it a horror film, a thriller, or an action adventure. If A Werewolf Boy were to be contrasted with the wealth of werewolf related films and TV shows America has been quick to produce over the past decade, this South Korean romantic fantasy drama would, undoubtedly, be the best.

At the same time however, though a love story at heart, the romantic themes bear no resemblance to plots developed from Nicholas Sparks' novels, nor are they similar to the romantic fantasy Painted Skin. A film conceived both tenderly and with much innocence, A Werewolf Boy focuses specifically on emotions and feelings, rather than desirous outward affection.

Soon-Yi (Yeong-ran Lee) is an elderly woman - a grandmother - living in the United States, when a phone call regarding family property causes her to return to South Korea. Upon returning to the home she once resided in, she is immediately overcome with memories from her short time there as a child.

Bo-yeong Park gives an outstanding performance, which is not only refreshingly lively but emotionally powerful, as the young Soon-Yi, a sickly adolescent girl who is home-schooled by her mother (Young-nam Jang). Although she has a familial relationship with her sister, Sun-ja (Hyang-gi Kim), Soon-Yi is largely isolated, with no friends her own age, and we are able to further glimpse how she feels through the poetry she produces. After the death of their father, they move from Seoul, to a life of poverty in the country, under the domineering eye of their vile landlord Ji-tae (Yeon-Seok Yoo), who deserves kudos for portraying such a wretchedly, arrogant man.

Not long into their stay at the residence, Soon-Yi finds they are not alone at the establishment with the discovery of a young, unidentifiable vagrant later named Chul-soo (Joong-ki Song), who is more animal than human, some suspecting him of being orphaned during the Korean War. Unable to communicate verbally, and with lacking social skills, Song's ability to convey emotion through growls and facial expressions is truly excellent.

Originally viewed as a nuisance by Soon-Yi and her sister after their mother takes him in, Chul-soo begins to adopt an ability to understand those around him, and settle comfortably into their lives as Soon-Yi dedicates much of her time to assisting him. In doing so, she begins to reveal the boy inside, and despite there been many who genuinely care for Chul-soo, there are an equal number of people who believe him to be a formidable danger. As these feelings escalate, paranoia and animosity befalls members of the community, and Chul-soo's future with Soon-Yi and her family is put in jeopardy.

But after all this time has passed, is Chul-soo still waiting for the only girl he ever loved? Although much of the cast is young, the talent's intellectual depiction of their roles makes for a deeply emotional experience. Cleverly told, with mature, likable characters, A Werewolf Boy certainly offers its viewers a very unique experience. The effects, although infrequent, are exceptionally produced, and the soundtrack that accompanies the scenes really sets the mood.

Much of the film takes place on the land Soon-Yi's family lives on, and though there are many films that require a wealth of locations, A Werewolf Boy is not one of them, and manages to keep the viewer's attention through the use of character development and plot. Moreover, the camera-work brilliantly captures the environment the story is set in, revealing the

I still look at this movie, just the front cover, a year after I have seen it and I feel a little tear roll down my cheek.

Oh My God I still can't stop crying from this movie.

It sits in the back of your brain, a melancholy sadness that will never leave. Never ever, ever.

If you're a man, this is the movie you should take you girlfriend to see. If your a woman who enjoys seeing men cry, take your boyfriend to this movie.

It's a great movie but the tattoo of sadness can never be removed.

Never ever, ever.

A Werewolf Boy fmovies. "A Werewolf Boy" made me cry, I was practically bawling towards the end. Very simple but good story-line and believable acting. I practically avoid drama movies (as my well of tears is shallow) but the plot is so compelling it easily dragged me in front of my computer and glued me on my chair so I couldn't move until the movie ended. No complains though.

This movie showed why I am a fan of Korean movies: Simple story-line, may be over-used, but very well executed. Some may say that the movie is slow-paced but I find beauty in it because it gave way to focusing on little details (e.g. facial expression, hand movements and other body gestures) which have big impact and lasting impression on viewer's reaction.

If you're looking for a sweet story which reminds of your childhood sweetheart, the one that got away (or you let go of) due to unavoidable circumstance (which I was before watching this movie), then watch "A Werewolf Boy". This is not a horror/suspense movie though, don't expect such things. Just be ready with your tissue box, because this movie will definitely make you cry.

I couldn't lie how I love this movie so much. I found myself enjoy watching it. There is credits to the director and two main casts who steal all the show. The relationship between soon-yi and chul-so was built really well from the beginning. How soon-yi treats him like a dog to become more than that. For me, the chemistry between Bo-yeong and joong-ki is the strongest aspect that makes this movie more alive and successful. Especially for joong-ki, he acts really convincing as an innocent wolf-boy.

Unfortunately, there is a big mistake for the make up and visual effects especially when chul-so turns into a werewolf. The visual effects look horrible and cheap, the studio should hire a professional one to make the werewolf looks real. I think visual effects in korean movie has improved nowadays and definitely not as poor as this movie has.

Beside weak visual effects, A Werewolf Boy is still a funny, beautiful and touching drama. It also very sweet and brings tears even to men. It's not the best ever korean movie for sure but it's still enjoyable to see and I personal love this movie!

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.
