Review

I absolutely love this drama, and felt so sad to see it end, however the ending was really good! Before you watch this I would like to say have a box of tissues prepared as this drama is literally emotional. The plot is amazing!! I was gripped onto this drama from the first episode and in each episode the plot became better and mysteries started to unfold. I think the actors did a great job especially Kim Bum who also played one of the F4 in Boys Over Flowers. Also Eun Ji from A Pink and Reply 1997 was in there which made it an even more pleasure to watch.

I will definitely give this drama 5/5 stars!!!

Review

I watched this movie yesterday (08/03/2013) at night on my phone using an app called WWDrama. I started it around about 10 pm and finished watching it at about 12:05 in the morning! This movie was really emotional for me and sweet. I absolutely loved it! The cast was amazing too, especially Song Joong-Ki who acted as Chulsu aka Werewolf Boy.. I don't want to give any spoilers as I don't want to ruin it for you guys, BUT I highly recommend this movie as its worth the watch and really good! The plot is fantastic as well! ^_^

I would give it 5/5 stars
