Summoned by an unexpected phone call, an elderly woman visits the cottage she used to live in as a child. She remembers the memory of a boy she knew 47 years ago.

Sheri Linden

Los Angeles Times

A chaste young-adult romance that bites into supernatural melodrama, science fiction and political conspiracy theories.

Rated: 3/5

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

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.

Rated: 7/10

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.

Rated: 4/5

We'll take this warmly directed, deeply affecting supernatural romance over the entire synthetic Twilight series any day.

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.

Movies show motion, but also emotion. This Beauty and the Beast version is charming and with an unexpected ending.
