Hmm, since it’s been about thirty hours since I last slept it seems suitable I review something that I watched at the end of my last bout of insomnia. Lack of sleep tends to heighten emotions, so funny dramas seem
Actually speak directly to my funny bone, or did I spend the majority of the episodes laughing out loud because I was watching them at [2] am?) and sad dramas seem
Without tearing up, eight hours of sleep more or less probably wouldn’t have made a difference on my ability to keep my feelings on the inside. This wasn’t a case of a beautiful single tear slowly rolling down one side of my face, this was straight out ugly crying – snot and all. Less Suzy in Gu Family Book, more Joo Won in Bridal Mask (**SPOILERS** in the links, btw). I don’t know what I was thinking. I wanted to see Song Joong-ki act but

Was too much of a melodrama (so instead I chose to watch the highest grossing melodrama in Korea? The movie that according to Wikipedia “cemented Song’s image in the press as the “savior” of the melodrama genre both on the big and small screen”. Smart.).
Played by Park Bo-young) living in the US is suddenly called back home by a phone call, detailing the sale of her childhood home in the South Korean countryside. She brings her young granddaughter to spend the night in the old house and as they arrive she is reminded of the short time she spent there in [1965]. She remembers the feral orphan boy (Song Joong-ki) her family took in despite his inability to speak, read or write and the close bond she came to form with him.
Discussion: This is a movie so there will be **SPOILERS** all over this discussion. Though honestly, there isn’t that much to spoil – the title is kind of a big clue. And even if I hadn’t already been over my hysterical crying, nicely illustrated by Joo Won, the fact that this is a giant melodrama kind of tells us as viewers were we’re going to end up, emotionally.

There were a lot of things I liked about this movie, first and foremost the stellar acting all around. I mean, obviously Song Joong-ki stole the show – but he was supposed to. The POV character might have been Kim Sun-yi, the main character is still Chul-soo. Everyone keeps raving about Song Joong-ki’s acting (and I mean, I liked him in
, he was my favourite, but that role wasn’t going to win him an Oscar-equivalent heavy acting award – you know what I mean) but I don’t have the energy to take on
Is just too much melodrama for me, at least for the moment. My point is: nice to see that people weren’t making things up.
A Werewolf Boy Korean Movie Review
I also super liked the concept of the movie, which surprised me since I normally hate werewolf movies the most out of all supernatural-creatures-movies (and I hate them all). But this wasn’t the typical handsome but troubled loner with a seeeeecret (even though Chul-soo was in fact a handsome troubled loner with a secret… But this is a different vibe! This obviously isn’t
). I guess what made it click for me was that Chul-soo wasn’t a man that was sometimes a wolf; he was a wolf that was always a little bit of a man.
. At least they kept his face mostly in the dark. This is personal preference, but I would have much preferred to have been kept guessing about Chu-soo’s true nature – making assumptions based on his strength and behaviour (and the title…) – until the end. I also could have done without the pseudoscience explanation (which I tuned out). I would have liked him to be some sort of mythical inexplicable creature rather than a typical werewolf-lab rat.

Concerning the “romance” I feel a little torn. Mostly because I just couldn’t view it as a romance! I just saw a girl and a dog. Chul-soo loves Sun-yi and she is the most important relationship in his life. So much that he is willing to wait loyally for fortyseven years (like Hachiko – I’m going to start crying again) and it’s inferred no one will ever measure up to her. He is a One Man Dog. (And that scene where she tells him to go and that she hates him = every sad movie about dogs ever?) Which of course makes it even more heart-breaking that she didn’t see it the same way. He was her first real relationship (be it as friends, lovers or something different), and she remembers him fondly, but she was a teenager and is able to move on. Which is healthy! She didn’t waste away pining for her first love, instead she lived a full happy life. She even forgot the note she wrote Chul-soo (
But not good for me! It’s super distressing for me (and other viewers, I suppose)! He is like a loyal dog! I couldn’t imagine abandoning my dog! This is my nightmare! This movie is like the horrible love child of
– the two movies that has made me have to “look for something in my purse” because I teared up in public. At least he wasn’t a real dog. I would still be blubbering if that had been the case

In the end I suppose this was a good movie. It definitely induced feelings. The acting was great, the cinematography was beautiful and the story was moving. I could have done without some parts but what movie is perfect (except
Go see it if you recently fell through the ice and just want to feel something. Or whatever, you like werewolfs. Or melodrama. Or good acting. Or Song Joong-ki. Or you’re bored. I don’t judge.
