    • Quotes

      Soon-Yi: Gran, wanna see this?

      Older Sun-yi: What a good-looking young man.

      Soon-Yi: He is, isn't he?

      Older Sun-yi: Does he come from money?

      Soon-Yi: I don't think so.

      Older Sun-yi: Then just have a little fun and dump him.

      Soon-Yi: But he's so good to me.

      Older Sun-yi: Be good to him. Men love getting compliments. When you grow up you see things that you didn't used to see. Knowing more might seem good, but it turns you into a coward. It only happens once in your lifetime, and it never comes back.

    A heartwarming story that made even some middle-aged men cry
    Agree with the previous poster that the title is somewhat misleading--the title character isn't exactly your typical werewolf, and the movie isn't really a Korean version of Twilight (except for maybe one or two scenes in the movie that were somewhat reminiscent). Rather, it's an emotional love story that will make you laugh and cry at the same time and really pull at your heartstrings, like only a classic Korean romantic film knows how to do. I watched this at my local theater, and almost everyone cried at some point during the movie--most of the girls were bawling towards the end and I noticed that even many of the guys were crying (including some middle-aged men!). If you're going to see this movie, I highly recommend taking some tissues with you.
