I really don't like this drama, but after many days of struggling, I decided to put my own feelings aside and evaluate The Wolf as objectively as I can.
I don't like this drama because I'm a thousand years too old for it. Plot is infantile, and so are the heroes, but that's what it is meant to be. This is a costume idol-drama that is not meant to be difficult or clever, it's entertainment to pass the time and arouse emotions, just as the audience demands, so in this respect, The Wolf is excellent. The music combines old-time features with a modern style, which is an ideal solution for today's young audience. There are tender scenes for romance lovers and very good fight scenes for lovers of something stronger. Even I found elements here that I really like.
The actors are definitely brilliant. Everyone has given their heart to this drama and it shows. Even if a character irritates me so much that I feel like tearing it apart, it's just proof of how well it was played.
Completely getting rid of subjectivity, knowing in what style The Wolf is shot, after watching 16 episodes with a clear conscience, I give 10. Maybe I'm too old for this style, maybe some elements seem funny to me, but objectively The Wolf perfectly filled all the elements of the drama of the style, which it represents and in places even exceeded the expectations of the genre.
