3/5
A chaste young-adult romance that bites into supernatural melodrama, science fiction and political conspiracy theories. Go to Full Review

In excellent subversive faction, it's the feral boy that really connects with the viewer on screen. Go to Full Review

7/10
More sensitive than sensational, 'A Werewolf Boy' is an interesting hybrid of the 'Twilight' saga, 'Frankenstein,' and 'Beauty and the Beast.' But there are touches here that make it purely Korean. Go to Full Review

4/5
Drenched in fairy tale romance and beautifully acted with one of the screen's most charismatic teen couples, I'll take A Werewolf Boy's sweet, quiet charms over the overwrought, turgid Twilight films and their CGI puppies any day. Go to Full Review
David Noh Film Journal International 11/30/2012
We'll take this warmly directed, deeply affecting supernatural romance over the entire synthetic Twilight series any day. Go to Full Review

01/16/2022 Sensational! Good actors and a beautiful story line, you could feel the love of the characters. A very lovely and sad story. See more 12/02/2021 The best Korean movie. See more 10/23/2021 Sangat memilukan, cerita yang sangat segar untuk ditonton. Aku terkesan menonton songjoongki seakan akan dia terlalu kuat untuk tidak berbicara. Kamu terbaik!! See more 06/18/2021 A beautiful and genuine feel-good fantasy drama that pleases all sorts of audience. This Korean film boasts wonderful locations, beautiful cast and a pleasant story that prove worthy of your time. If you're a fan of fantasy/romance, this film would surely captivate you. It's breezy locations, beautiful cinematography and pleasant progression makeup for the 2 and half hours long runtime. I did feel that the movie could've been trimmed down to under 2 hours, but it was worth the journey. It might be slow here and there, but trust me, it will make you feel so good in the end.  The werewolf transformation wasn't overused which I feel was the best thing that could've happened for this film. I was happy to see that they didn't veer off to explain to us how he actually got the ability and the usual superhuman mumbo jumbo but they used that aspect in a rather confined tone to our liking.  The romance portion was genuine and never goes over-the-top or corny. The poignancy in the plot does move us a bit and eventually holds a special place in our hearts. This is a lovely drama that would definitely make your Sunday afternoon an enjoyable one. See more 12/30/2020 I really like this movie, where can I watch this movie? See more 07/27/2017 Movies show motion, but also emotion. This Beauty and the Beast version is charming and with an unexpected ending. See more Read all reviews
