A Werewolf Boy

     Hey, peeps! It's been a while since I updated my blog. Too many things happened. Ah, and today, I'm not going to post about random diaries. Today (or tonight, maybe), I want to give you a movie recommendation. 

     Okay, so the movie's title is A Werewolf Boy. Yup, just like the title of this post. Well, it's a korean movie. I know some of you guys doesn't really like korean. But, if you want to watch a tear-jerking movie, this movie is recommended. The main actor is Song Joongki, my favorite actor. And the main actress is Park Boyoung. I really like both of them. They look so cute. Well first, here are the movie posters.

       

The Plot:

     Kim Suni, an elderly woman in her sixties living in the US, receives a phone call about the sale of her old family home back in South Korea. Returning to her homeland, she's met by granddaughter Eun-joo, and they drive to the house in the country and stay the night. Suni recalls how 47 years ago when she was a teenage girl in 1965, she moved from Seoul along with her widowed mother and sister Sun-ja to a remote valley to undergo a period of convalescence after suffering problems with her lungs. The Kims lived in genteel poverty at the mercy of their arrogant and foppish landlord, Ji-tae, son of the business partner of Suni's late father. Because of her delicate health, the beautiful yet introverted Suni lives an isolated life in the country home, without any friends her age.

     One night, Suni glimpses a shadow in the outhouse; the next day, she discovers a feral boy of about 19 crouching in their yard. He can neither read nor speak. Even though he behaves like a wild beast, Suni's kindhearted mother adopts him and names him Chul-soo, assuming he's one of more than 60,000 children orphaned in the Korean War.

     At first Suni considers him a nuisance, but eventually has fun taming him according to a dog-training manual. She teaches him how to wait patiently before a meal, how to wear clothes, how to speak, how to write and other human behavior so that he could one day live like a normal man. Chul-soo demonstrates unswerving loyalty and superhuman brawn, thus inspiring the envy of Ji-tae, who lusts after Suni.

     As Suni attempts to "civilize" the beast, the two eventually become very close. Suni opens her heart to Chul-soo, and he in turn falls in love with her, the only person to ever show him affection. But their relationship is fraught with difficulties, as Ji-tae begins to cause trouble. Feeling threatened, Chul-soo lets loose his bestial instincts, and in their fear the town villagers turn on him. In order to save the life of the boy who risked his to be by her side, Suni leaves him with a promise: "Wait for me. I’ll come back for you." (Source: Wikipedia)

     So, how is it? I know it's too long, and I'm too lazy to write the plot by myself, so please forgive me. And, I found a gif on tumblr:

"When first words hurt the most"

    When I saw this gif, I was like "damn, it's freaking true". And the almost-ending part, when he gave a note to her and asked her to play the guitar that he fixed, and the part where he read the book for her,  oh god, MY FEELS~ Like seriously. He waited for her in that tiny room for 47 years. And in the end, when she left him, when he made snowman, so frickin' sad. Ah, and let me give you a song from the movie. The title is 'My Prince'.

English Translation of Lyrics:

All night, I wait for the sun to rise out the window

Because when morning comes, I can meet that person

Thank you for holding my hand, thank you for looking into my eyes

Thank you, my prince that I’ve dreamed of, for appearing before me

All day, I wait for the moon to rise in the sky

Because when night comes, I can talk to you

Don’t forget our promise, don’t forget our secrets

Don’t forget how my heart raced when you looked at me.
