A Werewolf Boy with Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young to Premiere at Toronto Film Festival

Before Song Joong Ki was a Nice Guy, he was first a werewolf boy in the upcoming PD Jo Sung Hee directed A Werewolf Boy (literal title is Wolfboy). The movie has been officially selected to show at the Toronto International Film Festival so an English movie poster and trailer has just been released. Song Joong Ki co-stars with one of my favorite young Korean actresses in Park Bo Young, and together they play the titular feral boy raised in the wild and the young girl who befriends him and tries to teach him to live amongst the humans. The trailer is short but quite riveting, though that’s all due to Song Joong Ki’s beautiful face showing so much emotion in with such limited expressions of wonder and fear. I can’t wait to check this movie out, though we’ll be able to watch Song Joong Ki in Nice Guy first before the movie is released in Korea. Check out the trailer below for a glimpse of how K-movies wants to tackle the wild child subject matter. I love the dreamy and sad feel of it.

  • It and he do look beautiful.
    I hope they don't Edward Scissorhands this story. I haven't recovered from that sadness yet.

    I am curious why Park Bo Young is one of your favs? What was she in that you particularly liked?

    • Speedy Scandal and Jungle Fish. She took a 3 year hiatus but I love how she acts. Reminds me of a cross between Moon Geun Young and Im Soo Jung.

  • It looks very dreamy indeed :)
    SJK looks like a pretty pretty boy... me likes!
    Does not look like a happy ending - better get ready a box of tissues :(

    Thank you Ms K!

  • I honestly wait more for this one than for Nice Guy. SJK looks so young! Will he ever age? lol. Maybe after the army.

  • y do i feel the ending is not gonna be of the NICE one!!! i knw its a tearjerker!! gawd!!!! hw am i ever gonna AVOID it!! i surrender!!
    come out soon u lovely lonely handsome wolfboy
    song joonki saranghee!!<3

  • OMO. Does this mean Song Joong Ki will be at TIFF?! Or is that just my own wishful thinking? *jumps up and down* I must go this year!

    These two are both cute enough to give me cavities on their own, but together they're practically an explosion of blinding cuteness. I can't wait to see this. Although I'm pretty sure it will make me cry.

    • Will he be @ TIFF next month? Well, it doesn't look good. :( The week of the festival happens to be the week of Nice Guy's premiere on KBS, and between the the 15-hour flight to Toronto (direct) and the promotional events he'd have to do, he'd have to take off min. 3-4 days from NG and I just don't think his filming schedule would allow it. Which is most likely why his name was conspicuously absent in most of the articles reporting on TIFF's invitation to AWB ("Park Bo-Young and director Jo Sung-Hee will attend the premiere", leaving out the lead actor on the poster). There's no final confirmation yet so maybe they're doing some serious reshuffling to clear his schedule but the chances are rather remote.

      • Aww, that's too bad. Though I hadn't had my hopes up really, but how cool would it be if he was going to be in my neighbourhood? Nobody ever comes to Canada. :/

        Thanks for the info! :)

      • Ahhh, I was so excited that there's a possibility that he's coming to Toronto...until I realized that I'm leaving this fall for uni in Montreal. So disappointed about the timing :(
