The movie was nice for most of the time, although the Asian unconsumed love tension thing gets boring after a while. I am not even sure it was a romantic movie, as all the other commentators seem to think; friendship, yes.
The biggest problem for me was the more than two hours running time. For a movie that was pretty clear on what it was about and how things are going to proceed, waiting so long to see how it ends was a chore. Another issue for me is that the main female character was not as interesting as her mother, who in fact was the catalyst of the entire thing.
I liked some concepts in the film though: the immortal intelligent boy who looks like a man, but feels like a wolf, for example. This alone should have been enough to provide the backdrop of the story; no transformations necessary. The werewolf as a pack member, not a maniacal killer, was a nice idea, too. I also liked that they did not try to explain what happened to him or to give him allergies to silver or anything like that.
All in all something that is not really a love story, has nothing to do with Twilight, it's a bit over dramatic - Korean style, but reasonable. Its length is the biggest flaw; a re-cutting of the film might make it more palatable.
