Review of A Werewolf Boy

6/10
Poor Antagonist/ Too much Silliness

Warning: Spoilers
I wanted to like "A Werewolf Boy", a newer South Korean drama by director Sung-Hee Jo. It has good qualities including some good performances by the younger actors, and competent cinematography. Where the movie fell short was in the storytellers and director's decision in two particular areas. First, the antagonist has no subtlety and is obnoxious in a terribly overhanded way. This takes away from any tension, and effectively gives away future conflicts. (spoilers) So there's little but cliché/derivative scenes with the bad-guys gang and his eventual demise. The 2nd area was the movie's humor. It was much too silly with laughably poor sound effect and music. Overall the movie had potential if it gets more serious and makes a better antagonist. You could do worse, but not really recommended 5.7/10
