Rating: 3 out of 5 fair clouds. Love and romance sometime just isn't the same though it grows from the same seed. Life is trying. Love is trying. The Koreans seem to have a enjoy pain of almost everything in life. The least to say, its a a painful movie to watch unless you simply love to torment yourself.

Sadly for Lawrence, he too becomes infected by the beast and turns into a werewolf himself. Will be inherit his father madness or seeks vengeance for his mother and brother?

Rating: 2 out of 5 fairy clouds. The story is slow and dark, failing to capture my interests barely 15 minutes into the movie. Highly predictable plot and commercial shots. A disappointed and not worth the time or money to watch.
