Yey! It’s the Korean Film Festival once again.  This year’s lineup is a mixture of different genres with romance, drama, comedy and thriller all thrown into the mix.  This year’s featured film during the premiere night at SM Megamall was A Werewolf Boy (늑대소년) starring the talented Song Joong Ki (Innocent Man/Nice Guy) and Park Bo Young (A Speedy Scandal).  However, my personal favorite was Sunny (써니) which I’ve seen more than twice. I just love the friendship that these girls portrayed plus it showed a little bit how Korea was during the 80s.
