The Werewolf: Student Do-yeon's (Bong Tae-gyu) life couldn't be
more miserable, he's got no friends, is constantly bullied at school, and
the girl he's in love with, Ji-yeon (Ko Eun-ah) doesn't even seem to
notice him. Then his parents tell him he's a werewolf, just days away from
turning for the first time, and suddenly his luck changes: He can have
(bloody) revenge on all those who wronged him, is feared among his former
bullies, and the best thing of it all, Ji-yeon turns out to be a werewolf
as well, and suddenly she regards him as the perfect mate. The
Visitor: A young woman lets a stranger (Park Seong-bin) into her house
to use her phone, not knowing that he's a serial killer, and sure enough
he kills her in cold blood, and her little brother as well. What good
mister serialkiller didn't know though was that the girl and the boy were
only spirits of his former victims who have come back to haunt him for all
eternity ... Young Blood: To avenge the murder of his father,
Young-ja asks master Typhoon (Kim So-yeon) to teach him martial arts, to
which typhoon only agrees because his daughter seems to have taken a
liking to the young man. After a long training period reminiscent of 36th
Chamber of Shaolin, but with umbrellas and raincoats, Typhoon
deems Young-ja ready to have his revenge and sends him out into the world
- only for the young man to immediately return and challenge Typhoon, the
murderer of his father (Typhoon: "I knew that day would come."),
to a duel to the death ... which Young-ja wins. But now Typhoon's
daughter, who's in love with Young-ja, promises revenge nevertheless. A
bit of a hit-and-miss genre comedy: The first segment is way too
predictable to hold any kind of surprise, and apart from that overly
clichéd and taking way too much time to make its point, the second story
is entertaining yet predictable as well, while the final story does indeed
hold many surprises and by far the best jokes (especialle the sequences
with Typhoon's daughter working at a gas station and handing out the wrong
kind of fuel to all her customers), but at times seems to go about its
plot rather aimlessly, lacking any kind of stringency. In all, nothing
great, but there's far worse around.
