Architecture 101 2012
This is an old-school story of how two former lovers rekindle a passion that was once burnt out. Seung-min first met his lover, Seo-yeon at college, but over a decade has passed since. They had broken up and parted ways as their differences could not be ironed out. With time, the two have matured.
Seo has done well in her life and comes across Seung after she commissions him to fix her home. As they mull over old times, they ponder over what could have been and ask whether there is still time to rectify those mistakes?

A Werewolf Boy 2012
This is a Korean take on Twilight but fused with a full-on love story. We meet a young woman (Soon-yi), who has been struck with a lung disease. She has a lack of social skills and is often a recluse. But during her customary walk, things change as she meets Chul-soo.
He is not like anyone she has met before. Chul is well-versed in looking after himself and is highly independent. He takes her under his wing, and as she begins to become more confident, she develops feelings for him. Is it all too fast, though?

We come across Woo-jin, an extraordinary ‘person.’ Woo embodies beauty in various forms literally as we see the character change from a man to a woman.

The stumbling block is how can they have a future together, and how will people react to their ‘relationship?’
