A Werewolf Boy 늑대소년 - "Love That Was Not Bound To Happen But Felt So Right"
Director: Jo Sung-Hee
Actor: Song Joong Ki, Park Bo-Young

I watched  this movie a few nights back. I had completely forgotten that this movie existed until my friend told about it. And I have to say...WHY...Why didn't I watch this before!!?? 내가 왜 전에 안봤어!!
lol well this was truly a heart warming movie. Usually, I watch the trailers of the movie before seeing it, but this time I didn't and I think that was a really good choice. I could only tell the context by the title and even then I didn't want to imagine what it was going to be like. And that was perfect. The concept of the movie was redundant but with a bit of change, the trailer actually dramatizes what happens. Its a very calm pace movie.

A werewolf boy is about a young girl and her family, mother and youngest sister, move to the country side in order for her to recover from her ailing lungs. They soon discover that the house they live in has a locked barn that is inhabited by a wild boy. The family takes him in thinking he is a lost orphan boy with a bit of lack of social skills. And so, the movie goes through the interactions of the family and the boy.

Now, my take on this movie. I really liked it. It was one of those movies that I will not get tired of watching. There was so much hidden meaning behind every action and personally, I really love movies like these. I was really moved by the acting of the two main actor/actress. Well, first the main actor Song Joong Ki is my all time favourite actors. He is right beside actor Kwon Sang Woo. Song Joong Ki did remarkably flawless acting with the talented Park Bo Young. Their connection together truly brought out the sincerity of each moment. This movie also reassures me that Song Joong Ki is a great actor and when he comes back from his mandatory military service, he gets much more opportunities to act. Plus it is a good movie about young love or even first love experiences. It brought me back to my first love memories and how innocent and unconditional it was. I cried so much in this movie it was so wonderful and I can feel every emotion the girl was feeling.

I highly recommend this movie for anyone wanting an international take on young love and fantasy.

So after I watched the movie I was having a fan-girl moment and looked up fan-made music videos of the movie or videos of Song Joong ki and Park Bo Young and I found two that were well done! I will share it with you guys. I can't stop watching them! :D

Synopsis: Cha Song-Ju and Han Jung-Suh have been childhood friends. They have been there for each other at every moment, whether it be the death of Han Jung-Suh's mother or the death of Cha Song-Ju's Father. One day Han Jung-Suh's Father remarries and she gains a step-sister, Han Yu-ri (same year) and step-brother, Han Tae-Hwa (1 year younger). Soon the plot for destroying and stripping everything Han Jung-Suh had begun. Her step-mother and step-sister took over her life and denied her of everything. After a few days Cha Song-Ju leaves for abroad studies, Han Jung-Suh forced to stay and fend for herself. Luckily her younger brother was there to defend her. And so this begins the story of Cinderella and her not-so-sane family.

I watched this drama during the summer of 2006..that was my first Korean drama ever. I was recommended this from a friend and I cannot thank her enough for it. As I was first watching it, I took notice of a lot of things..it was different from the western style dramas. Mainly because the language was foreign to me and trying to catch up with every subtitled dialogue was a task, on top of that the dramas are one hour long. I kept thinking what could they possibly put for an hour in an episode but it turns out there is so much that can happen...this drama is so sad. You will not stop crying from start to end. At least I know I cried immensely. I fell in love with the two main characters simply because the whole time they kept trying to be together in the most fairest way possible. Against all odds they kept pushing for each other. Now if that isn't true love then I don't know what it is. Also, Choi Ji Woo and Kwon Sang Woo did an amazing job performing their characters. Those two will forever be my favourite actors. Also, Kim Tae-Hee and Shin Hyun Joon performed well. This drama has all the emotions a person can feel and all the seven sins expressed. It is interesting how people will act if you give them a little money and luxurious items. It taught me to always have love, hope and faith. 

I highly recommend this drama for people that have lost hope in life, love an honest love story, need to see actors that can act, and just plain enjoying an epic tale. Be prepared to have a box of tissues beside you. :)
