This movie has been the best movie I've watched during my WHOLE DRAMA life. As you can see I did say "drama life" that's because I didn't really like watching movies because they were just boring. Everything was too short and nothing actually gets explained properly. They just pull for too long.

I kinda have a change of thought now. This movie........omg!!!! This was the one I was looking for!!! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!! Everything was just perfect. Nothing was missing. You WONT get bored. I gave the music a 9.5 because it wasn't 'addictive' but it matched the movie well so....yea.

The plot is quite interesting. I haven't seen any dramas or movies like this before. That's probably why it made it even better. The actors were also perfect for this drama. I can't imagine anyone else replacing their spot.

The movie is very emotional. It could hit you any time. Omg! I don't think I've cried so much in 2 hours before. Like hard out crying. Anyone whose thinking about watching it......get your tissue box ready. I mean.....maybe 2 boxes if you think a box won't be enough.

Overall I would give this a 20/10 but sadly you can't. So yea. 10/10 it was.

It was a very touching, sad movie. It's the type to make your heart flutter. But be warned if your the type to want a happy ending then nooo. It really broke my heart in the end. Bailed my eyes out!!

The first two hours had the hallmarks of a fabulous movie. Very sweet. Do you know I have a thing for werewolves? ;)

I enjoyed the bits of Suni pouring over "The Dog Training Encycolpedia" and teaching him all sorts of tricks.

The last 40 minutes was a little surreal. Suni's very possessive landlord (the rich guy who kept turning up, saying "This is my house!" and attempting to assault her) is dead-set on getting Cheol shot. I was a little bemused of how he set that up, especially the bit where he goes into Cheol's cell, and says, "Suni doesn't like you. She hates you. Go find that guitar!" and off Cheol goes, as if he understood that perfectly.

The story became sweet after that, but the ending had elements of confusion. Did she have a vision or was it real?

But what a lovely movie. I AM IN LOVE WITH SONG JOONG KI. There was a period, where I saw him as that metrosexual, happy guy incapable of serious but MY! He has really come along in these past few years.

Two thumbs up. Watch it!

I don't know what to say, but this movie really makes my heart aches.
The feeling is like bittersweet kind of feeling..

The wolf kind of remind me of my lovely dog, his undying love, loyalty, etc. I can relate very well how the werewolf boy behave with his owner (in this case the girl that he loves), just like my lovely doggy (his name is levi), levi always wait patiently for me, if i asked him to sleep outside, he will sleep just outside of my bedroom's door. His gaze is always upon me lol. Always following me around.

Actually cannot compare the story of this werewolf boy with dog, of course. But the loyalty is there, human needs to feel ashamed of their own action. Human has too many complicated issues in life, such as money, greed, power, etc that makes them not to follow their heart, because of one ignorant and selfish person, it could make other people's fate miserable. Haiz..

Anyway, this is such a good movie, i recommend to watch is while there is raining outside just like me, i watched it in the rainy day, it makes my mood melancholic... with a good combination of this OST, ugh.. my heart aches even more..

To be honest, the reason why I ended up watching this was because Song Joon Ki starred as the main cast :P Turns out, this movie was amazing and definitely worth watching :) Although I admit I cried a lot near the end hehe (spoiler sorry)

~La historia es realmente buena,los personajes ideales, no tengo queja alguna para esta película, tiene un poco de todo...

thinking "it is another romantic story"...well is totally different from the others, Chul Soo (Song Joong Ki)'s character is like a wolf(his performance is fantastic, if you see that will know the ...) and
Park Bo Young, interprets a girl misunderstood in some aspect...The story focuses on flashbacks of the protagonist as was his teenage and difficulties happened ... when you met.

La séparation reste toujours aussi dure...

« A werewolf boy » est un film que j’ai vu plusieurs fois lors de l'enrôlement de Song Joong-Ki dans l'armée (Coïncidence ? Ou pas ?!). Cependant, je n’avais plus vraiment revu cette histoire depuis et en avais donc oublié la majorité des évènements et ne gardait qu’un sentiment de « tristesse » quand j’y pensais.

Ce film nous apporte à la fois des moments de douceurs & des moments de tristesses… Le développement de l’amitié/amour entre nos héros est lent mais nous donne la possibilité de voir les changements chez eux. D’un autre côté, la séparation reste toujours aussi douloureuse à voir… Les acteurs transmettent tellement bien cette détresse. (Ne parlons pas des premiers mots de Cheol-Su qui fendent le cœur…)

Bien sûr, mon regard de l’époque a évolué (heureusement vu le nombre d'années, non ? x’D) & si j’apprécie toujours cette histoire, j’ai eu plus de mal avec certains comportements de personnages :
• Kim Sun-Yi bien qu’adolescente maladive est, à mes yeux, une petite peste. (Je m’explique : On pourrait excuser son comportement mais elle pense que Cheol-Su est humain & elle le traite comme un « chien » - Référence à son livre « Encyclopédie de dressage pour chiens domestiques »)
• On va pas trop s’étendre sur Ji-Tae qui profite de son « statut » pour obtenir ce qu’il veut & donc se croit tout permis… Qu’est-ce que j’ai pu haïr ce personnage à l’époque x’D. Il aura cependant la fin qu’il mérite ce qui m’a apporté un peu de joie ! (Moi, sadique ? JAMAIS !)

À la fin de cette histoire, finalement… Je me sens toujours un peu morose. Il s’agit d’une histoire d’amour & surtout d’amitié qui malheureusement n’est pas réellement possible… De fait, les mois que Sun-Yi & Cheol-Su ont partagé 47ans plus tôt sont comme des moments suspendus qui ne se reproduiront pas…

De la romance ?!? Non… juste de l’élevage canin...

Alors clairement… je suis sortie de ce film avec un drôle de goût 😶... J’y allais en pensant découvrir une belle romance fantastique, un truc un peu féérique, un amour interdit qui prend aux tripes… mais en vrai, j’ai eu l’impression d’assister à un simple élevage canin... 😬

Cheol Su (Song Joong Ki) m’a brisé le cœur 💔. Il est pur, naïf, loyal… limite trop. C’est le genre de perso qui donne tout, qui suit comme un chiot parce que c’est sa manière d’aimer. Et du coup, plus le film avançait, plus je le voyais comme… un chien abandonné avant les vacances d’été 🐺🥺. Elle lui a promis qu’elle reviendrait, et il attend toute sa vie. 😭 Rien que d’y penser, ça me serre encore le cœur...

Mais Sun Yi… pfff, perso je n’ai pas accroché du tout 😤. Au début, ok, elle est touchée par lui, elle l’apprivoise… mais après ? Lui demander d’attendre et disparaître aux States pour vivre sa vie tranquillou sans jamais revenir, désolée mais ça ressemble plus à de l’égoïsme qu’à une grande histoire d’amour... J’ai pas pu avoir de compassion pour elle 🙅‍♀️ Cependant sympa que ce soit Bo Young qui pousse la chansonnette, la musique est très jolie 👍🏻

Alors ouais, la mise en scène est jolie, l’ambiance un peu vintage est sympa, et Song Joong Ki joue incroyablement bien ses yeux, ses mimiques animales, tout est crédible 🔥. Mais franchement, pour moi ça ne rattrape pas le reste... J’ai pas eu de vraie romance, juste la sensation d’avoir regardé une histoire cruelle déguisée en conte.

Bref… "A Werewolf Boy" aurait pu être un petit bijou poétique, mais perso je l’ai vécu comme une immense frustration. Et à la fin, quand on comprend qu’il est resté seul toutes ces années… j’ai plus eu envie d’en vouloir à Sun Yi qu’autre chose 😶... C'est un raté pour moi 😑✌🏻

Bella e commovente storia, costruita benissimo e commentata ad arte dalla musica. Gli attori, tutti, hanno recitato benissimo. I dialoghi e le ambientazioni sono ben costruiti.
Due ore coinvolgenti passate piacevolmente .
