Critic Reviews:
- " A chaste young-adult romance that bites into supernatural melodrama, science fiction and political conspiracy theories. " – Sheri Linden
- " More sensitive than sensational, ‘A Werewolf Boy’ is an interesting hybrid of the ‘Twilight’ saga, ‘Frankenstein,’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast.’ But there are touches here that make it purely Korean. " – James Plath
- " We'll take this warmly directed, deeply affecting supernatural romance over the entire synthetic Twilight series any day. " – David Noh
