A WEREWOLF BOY (2012)

Elderly grandma Kim Sun-yi, living in the States with family, is summoned back to Korea by a phone call - one that leads her to a small home in the countryside she briefly lived in as a teen - and the bulk of this drama (one of the best, most tragic love stories this reviewer has ever seen) takes place 47 years earlier, when Sun-yi's health brought her and her family to this country home ... and the discovery of a young, feral man living on the property, apparently raised by wolves (or is he one himself?) and long since abandoned, whom the family is forced to take in while local officials try to figure out what to do with him.  This is a beautiful, well-crafted film with just the right touches of comedy, romance and drama; a film that (deservedly) made a star of lead actor Song Joong-ki, who without dialogue brings incredible humanity to Chul-su, and the film itself "rose up the box office charts to become the most successful Korean melodrama of all time".  Have Kleenex ready.

(NOTE: There is an "extended" version of this film that contains a modified scene, toward the end, that makes this version worth tracking down if you can get it.)
