Park Bo-young to romance wolf boy Song Joong-ki
by girlfriday
Yup. You read that right. Song Joong-ki. As a Wolf Boy. Well that’s the title of the movie, and it’s not a figurative one, so it looks like he’ll be wolfing out for his next role, baby face be damned. And Park Bo-young has been cast as the girl who falls in love with Teen Wolf. I don’t know what to do first — squeal about the casting, or scratch my head at the idea that someone thought Song Joong-ki looked wolfish. I mean, does he even grow facial hair?
Wolf Boy is the feature film debut from up-and-coming director Jo Sung-hee, who’s been leaving an impression on Chungmuro with his short films over the last few years. His work ranges from mystery to drama, and he describes the movie as being a pure love story, like that of Edward Scissorhands. Oh, well that changes a lot. Edward Scissorhands is a very distinct take on the genre — tonally, visually. That could be interesting, that is, if he can pull off Edward Wolfypaws rather than end up with An American Werewolf in Seoul.
Park Bo-young plays a young girl who one day finds a wolf boy in an isolated house, and then the two eventually fall in love. Well that’s not much in the way of plot, but hopefully there’s more to it than wolf meets girl, girl loves wolf, wolf represses wolfie instincts for girl. ‘Cause if wolfiness becomes a stand-in for cancer, I’m out.
Aside from the possibly awesome, potentially crazy, and probably campy wolfie plot, I’m excited about these two young and talented actors sharing the screen together. They’ve technically been co-stars already, earlier this year as birds in the Korean dub for the animated film Rio. Below are some pictures of them doing promotional shoots for the movie, looking ridiculously adorable together.
Wolf Boy will complete casting and enter production in October, and meanwhile Song Joong-ki has two other projects slated for the fall — Penny-Pinching Romance, his rom-com with Han Ye-seul, and his role as the young King Sejong the Great in the SBS drama Tree With Deep Roots. Busy, busy!

Is it a coincidence that an article about Yoo Ah-in is quickly followed by one about Song Joong-ki?

If this is a hit, they could reunite the YAI & SJK couple in the sequel. It would be about a boy and a wolf boy. Or make it 2 wolf boys, RAWR =)

If k-drama producers would just think a little more progressively: we could get our ultimate OTP to reunite for more bromance (small b, capital R).

Hahaha. I remember that episode "I told you didn't I? I told you I loved Monday Couple". And when she got mad at Joong-ki for trying to create a loveline with Ji-hyo. HAHAHA. Poor Genius Boy. I just love how his hand is awkwardly on her shoulder/back in the picture above. It's like he has to put his hand there for the pictures, but he's worried he might make her uncomfortable. I say these two should date. X)

You know... I think Song Joong-ki (along with Yoo Ah-in) are the only guys who look better in Historical dress then in modern clothes....
And personal I'd be more worried if it comes out like Twilight... isn't that supposed to have used k drama cliches (in the worst possible way)?

"I mean, does he even grow facial hair?" Yeahhh, exactly! :D :D It'll be an interesting experience to watch him as a giant, hairy... erm, thing... I'm wondering if he could still be preserving his noona-killer cuteness then! LOL

He did the Rio dub? HOW CUTE! But no one can top my Jessie. I kind of want to see this. Mostly because I get to see SJK look like a wolfie. Maybe will get to see a new side to him... the sexy side lol.

maybe they want to give something like Romulus&Remus.They are Rome's twin founders in its traditional foundation myth. The legend says that a she-wolf found them and suckled them.
from wiki:
A feral child (also, colloquially, wild child) is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age, and has no (or little) experience of human care, loving or social behavior, and, crucially, of human language.[1] Some feral children have been confined by people (usually their own parents); in some cases this child abandonment was due to the parents' rejection of a child's severe intellectual or physical impairment. Feral children may have experienced severe child abuse or trauma before being abandoned or running away. Others are alleged to have been brought up by animals; some are said to have lived in the wild on their own. Over one hundred cases of supposedly feral children are known.
yap I suppose this plot would blow Korean minds, because they have something like 98% schooled kids, while in other countries around the World the numbers are a lot smaller

That's what I was thinking when I read girlfriday's post. Heck, 48 Hours/60 Minutes even did a filming on some of the kids in America that this happened to. The one that stands out most was the little girl practically raised by dogs from her young age, so she would walk on all fours and stuff like that. I'm wondering if that's how it'll be for Joong-ki's character.

It was something similar on National Geographic or a channel in this category
It was overwhelming and heartwarming way more than a kdrama about a Cinderella or a Candy

I love this casting, but I wonder what Joongki's character will be like? I never seen Joongki being badass so this should be good or else if he's some emo kid then that's depressing lol Yay i get to see more Park bo young! what ever happened to her other movies?

I LOVE both Joongki and Boyoung, but.....they sort of look like siblings....which makes it more than a little creepy.
But hopefully this will be good.

I've seen them in Running Man together, and I know all about the Rio promotions they had together, and I've really just come to see them as a cute sister/brother combo. Park Bo-young even said in an interview she wants an older brother like Joong-ki... so as lovers? =/ Oh I dunno. I hope I can shake this silly thought and not just see it as a massive incestual movie, as I really am a massive fan of the both of them!

IKR!! Reminds me of Running Man, it's true though they look more like siblings. At least that's why I see in Running Man >_<
I love them both, but oh well I'm not going to comment anything until the movie's out.

Well, Joong-ki is definitely keeping himself busy. Will keep an eye for this.
(although rather than a wolf, Joong-ki looks more like a puppy imo lol)

fyi, yes I have seen that joongki does in fact have facial hair.... me no likey his facial hair

The plot reminds me of the Beastmaster manga. I also can't imagine SJK being wolfish but oh well...I'd tune in anyway.
