Scholar Who Walks the Night Holds Script Reading with Leads Lee Jun Ki, Lee Yoo Bi, Changmin, and Kim So Eun

View Comments

• Yaye lead role for Lee Yoo Bi! Wasn't gonna watch this but I shall for her. M glad she's getting her chance to shine....though I wonder how she'll look opposite Lee Jun Ki.

  • I actually think she will look ok opposite LJK, she looked quite good with a much older love interest in Pinocchio (Lee Pil Mo). and Jun Ki is far from old looking either.

• So Lee Yoo Bi is the main female lead and Kim Soo Eun, the second female lead and not the other way around ?

• Unni u made a mistake.. yoo bi is the second lead.. in ur last paragrapH u mentioned kim so eun has been confirmed has the Female lead..

  but in the 1st paragraph u wrote yoobi was female lead and kim so eun plays noblewoman @ second lead

  • No, she didn't. She's saying that she made a mistake on reporting Kim So Eun as the female lead last week. But now, she has established that Lee Yoo Bi is confirmed as the female lead while Kim So Eun the second female lead.

• Oh man wanted Kim So Eun as the lead...

  • Hi daisy
    I agree, I think kim so eun would be more suitable opposite lee jun ki.
    I guess lee yoo bi is ok but she gives me a cutesy aura rather than a serious love interest for our hot vampire lead...

    • I thought so too :(
      I want kim so eun. Lee yubi gives off 'a kid' aura in her. Didnt like her once im sorry >>

    • The female lead in the manhwa is supposed to be cutesy.

    • @Febe - I hope she's not too cutesy, too much of that kind of mannerisms in historical dramas can be really annoying.

    • Do you watch Gu family book? She can throw away her cute aura by acting as lee seung gi's first love. She became a serious character in that drama. If you haven't watched it yet. You should^^

  • (me too) though I like Lee Yoo Bi too as a female lead, and I think she deserves the time to shine after seeing her role in Innocent Man. She's quite likable for me.

• I doubt this drama will be as good as KMHM. Vampire dramas usually turn out to be messy. I also think what saved KMHM was that it had super experienced lead actors. JS & HJE already had chemistry and were already comfy with each other. Also they had PSJ who is just perfect.
  While Scholar Who Walks the night does have a great male Lead, the second male lead is an idol who isn't very good at acting. If they give him less camera time from the rest then I think it could work.

  • Changmin and Yunho both have a history of bad acting. Yunho improved in The Night Watchman. Their former groupmates, Yoochun and Jaejoong, are well-received actors despite their idol backgrounds. I won't totally dismiss Changmin in this drama. I bet he'll work even harder to not disappoint especially since he's acting opposite a seasoned actor like LJK. I'm not asking for incredible acting, but tolerable acting will do.

• I honestly think Lee yubi got female lead because of her parents and her powerful agency Sindus. I know her second leads dramas were huge hit. In pinocchio, her role was so small. I don't know her acting very much because she never showed her intense acting. I can't see her as a lead material yet. I think she will be awkward besides LJK

  • I think she'll be sooo awkward beside LJK too. They don't match visually whatsoever. But I miiiight just tune in for KSE's new princess character and her relationship with Changmin. Hopefully they're a completely different couple eventually and that CM actually learns to act a little. At least it will be worth the time over yet another cross dressing female - that's gonna be so unconvincing no matter which way I look at it.

  • Did you watch her in GFB? She was quite good in it... and pretty intense. I think she's ready for a lead role. The only thing is she looks really young.

    • Oh Dear,I watched GFB. I couldn't finish it. After this, why she can't get the good roles? In pinocchio, her role was just a co-worker of male lead, not even love lines. You can say she did well in that supporting and funny character. After the huge success of pinocchio, I know even supporting casts are getting more roles. I agree that she should get a lead role but not with guys like LJK. I am his huge fan. So, I'm gonna try it.

  • Frankly Lee Yoo Bi has shown to be a pretty solid actress in her past roles so I don't think Sidus HQ and her family are the reason for her getting the role. She has the acting chops but she does look really young. Currently she is the bigger name between her and Kim So Eun and is more well liked by the general public so it makes sense that she would get lead over KSE if they were offered the same role. Even if her role was a side character or 2nd lead the fact is her past three dramas did well on the main broadcast stations , which cannot be said for Kim So Eun.

    • Koreans don't like Lee Yoo Bi over Kim So Eun. A lot of them think she gets her parts bc of her family. International fans may like her, but they're not the ones who bring the ratings. Anyway after all this mess with the ratings the public is pretty much tired so idk what will happen to this drama.

• I'm hoping KSE's character has an evil streak. It would be a refreshing contrast to her previous roles.

  • True that. I hope KSE's crown princess has a hand in the palace politics. Maybe a conspiracy with LSH's villain. It would be an interesting arc compared to 3 damsels vying for LJK' attention.

    I was hoping for KSE to take on the gisaeng character to see if she could toe the line of being the villain, yet have the viewers root for her character's redemption or success. If her new character has evil traits, it would serve my initial goal for her. Please be conflictedly evil. The least, kick some vampire butts. (And those are some pretty hunky butts too). Guess i'll be tuning-in come July to find out.

• What a mess, and they haven't even shot anything yet I'm assuming. SO meh on the OTP casting. LYB and LJK? I think the Changmin-KSE pairing sounds much better even if one of them needs to look up the word 'acting'. Thankfully there are other great dramas on the horrizon because I'm predicting this pulling a Blood rather than a KMHM.

  • so you think the pairing where one person famously cannot act will be better than the pairing where both have proved themselves to be competent in sageuk roles in previous dramas?

    That really makes sense.

    • Okay then. A pairing where one looks like a father to a daughter looks better. They'll be 'acting' their darnest to look romantic and it will be amusing as heck because they'll be very convincing.

      You win.

    • you're saying one looks like a father and the other looks like his daughter....when the so-called 'father' one is famous for his youthful pretty looks, and not even one still of them in costume has leaked.

      How sensible and logical. (not really)

    • Oh of course I'd be needing a 'leaked still' to see how LJK looks in a Sageuk garb because I totally forgot the last drama he did. Right. Again, you're right, you win.

      P.s. I love how you have to clarify your sarcasm. It's obvious babe. And you make total sense.

    • yes, because you seem to think parroting on and on about how LJK/LYB look together when they have never even been seen together is going to make your pronouncements truth.

    • Okay then, my 'pronouncements' aren't 'true' because you obviously don't know what opinions mean. You win.

      Now, I'm done dealing with you. Toddles.

    • LMAO at the comments here. Based on the supposed logic, if LJK who is famous for looking much younger than his ripe old age of 33, and looks great with the baby faced Zhou Dongyu in Sicily Sun, looks like a father to 25 year old LYB, then Lee Pil Mo (one of my most favorite actors) looks like a grandfather to LYB in Pinocchio? How strange that I enjoyed LPM & LYB's love relationship in Pinocchio.

      LJK looks like a father alright, to Sujini in Two Weeks, who's 7 years old.

    • @Febe - +1

      @xxx - lmaoooo, @Gina keeps destroying your nonsense statements with logic but you don't seem to realize.

  • @Febe +1

    • @Febe +1 too

• at least Lee Yoo Bi and Kim So Eun can both act, and have been good in sageuk roles before. I have no problems with this final casting, I just hope this drama's script is good.

  In fact, the only person in that list whose acting I doubt is Changmin. Everyone is picking on Lee Yoo Bi but the girl has spent four years in supporting roles and actually worked her way up to this, if it was just her parents or agency geting her roles she would have been a lead in something years ago.

• This drama has more problems than even KMHM. I don't think LJK and LYB will work. I hope KSE had more camera time than LYB. I think LYB looks like daughter or younger sister of LJK. I don't feel right for this drama because of LYB. I think I will pass this one.
